NFL Picks: Week 7 Results / Week 8 Picks






Week 7 in the National Football League saw a lot of blowout games, and our scores across the board were pretty low. That's ok, we're still not even halfway through the regular season. Here were some odd things I noticed when "correcting" our picks:

-EVERYBODY picked the Pittsburgh Steelers, N.Y. Giants and the Tennessee Titans in their respective games, and we all got them ALL CORRECT. Awesome!
-UnKillableBeast was the ONLY person to pick the Green Bay Packers over the Indianapolis Colts, and got it CORRECT. Finch865 and Stopable didn't pick for this game.
-EVERYBODY got the N.Y. "Bretts" WRONG as they lost to Oakland.
-JRC 865 was the ONLY person to pick the Detroit Lions to defeat the Houston Texans, but got it WRONG.

Here is our Week 7 leaderboard:

1.) Stopable / 9
T2.) Jerhawk / 8
T2.) Deus Legend / 8
T2.) UnKillableBeast / 8
3.) Flynn4DaWin / 6
4.) JRC 865 / 5

Finch865 did not pick for this week. Another interesting note, this is the second week in a row that JRC 865 got 5 picks right for that week. You can do it JRC!!

Here is our XBLN.com NFL Picks PowerRankings presented by Midnight Club L.A.:

T1.) Jerhawk / 61
T1.) Flynn4DaWin / 61
2.) Deus Legend / 59
3.) Stopable / 57
T4.) JRC 865 / 56
T4.) UnKillableBeast / 56
5.) Finch865 / 38

So, me and the All-Mighty Flynn4DaWin are tied with 61, but we are being tail-gated by Deus Legend. Hopefully Finch can try to get back in the race.

Here are the Week 8 matchups:

Cincinnati @ Houston (Make-up Game)

Oakland @ Baltimore

Arizona @ Carolina

Tampa Bay @ Dallas

Washington @ Detroit

Buffalo @ Miami

St. Louis @ New England

San Diego vs. New Orleans (London)

Kansas City @ N.Y. Jets

Atlanta @ Philadelphia

Cleveland @ Jacksonville

N.Y. Giants @ Pittsburgh

Seattle @ San Francisco

Indianapolis @ Tennessee (Monday Night)


There won't be a Sunday Night game this week due to the World Series, if your were wondering. Also, I came up with an idea: Starting Week 10, I will list about four games or so that would be games where one team is highly favored over the other team. If we were to pick the upset pick and get it correct, we would get a bonus point, therefore making that pick worth 2 points. I will call it our "Weekly 2-Point Conversion." What do you guys think of that?

Thanks everyone, and good luck!

  5. if the Seahawks could try to play some inspired football, they could win some games and try to get back in the division. otherwise it's over. it's seemed over before the season even began they way they act.
    and the Cowboys kind of forgot what they were doing against the Rams, but don't worry Zach. They'll be back. T.O. needs to stay calm and show some leadership, because Wade Phillips obviously isn't showing any leadership just feeling sorry for himself.
