1) DrViking 1

3) Marty 1
4) Brad 1

Easiest contest I have won since the brad Pitt lookalike contest

Dang, I better come up with something quick. Eeny, meene, miny moe. I'll take Seattle and give the 15.5.

Coinflip is owning you

Had to laugh when I first saw the score and it was 21-0 Bucs in the second quarter.

I didn't realize there was a game tonight. I caught the score as I was looking at a sports website, it had Miami up 7-3. I would have picked Cincy to win that one.

This is the most entertaining thread on the board. It's taken the worst start by the Vikings ever, of course. But I get a laugh every week, at least.

Just think Brad, we could be 5-1 (or is it 6-1) had we just gone the opposite way on all our picks.

I guess it's:

DrViking 2
Ricky 1
Marty 1
Brad 1

That was actually my intent when I posted..... to put me down as the exact opposite of both of you

I wasn't trying to separately call you out

I think it's going to be a high scoring game. I think Ponder will actually connect on a deep pass early, maybe even 2 of them.

Redskins 41
Vikings 38

Ponder connecting on ONE deep pass would be pretty unusual...twice in one game would be downright miraculous.

I don't see Ponder having a good game at all, I see the boo-birds coming out in droves with his first checkdown pass away from a wide open receiver.

Washington has a history of ruining our draft position;

so I predict somehow we win (hopefully with Freeman off the bench)

and our hopes of cleaning house with this staff takes a hit as well....

But we win!

I picked Vikings with 4 out of 14 confidence points. Give me your most objective opinion, do I have a shot or should I switch?

1 to @ GB over Phil
2 to Miami over @ TB
3 to Det over @ Chi

My absolute can't-miss, no-brainer, mark-it-down, crazy-not-to-bet-it lock of the week is taking San Francisco and giving the six points to Carolina.

Now, run to your bookies and bet the Panthers because I am as bad at this crap as any human on earth.

I think we will beat Washington. Could be situation where Ponder hurts ribs and Cassel come in.

Should be a close game.
2 good rushing teams.
We will need to get some turnovers to win IMO.

Ricky, I think you should have picked the Vikings. I would switch to GB, stay with TB and switch to Chicago IF Cutler is playing.

Brad, it's good to see you put your lock up early. I'm going to do the same. Anybody that wants to make a ton of money, you've seen how accurate I have been, go load up on Philly.

I'm taking GB -1 over Philly, that is my lock.

I don't know why I didn't of it sooner, I could have jinxed GB a long time ago. I think GBs players will rise up, their defense will play well, Lacy will run all over Phillys' poor defense, special teams will probably get a TD. And I think Wallace might even look respectable. They have a good passing system, just get the ball out to Nelson and Jones, even if they are covered.

As clear as mud Ricky.

You asked if you should switch to GB, Miami or Detroit, I assume, as those were listed first.

I recommended to you switch to GB, keep TB and Chicago, unless Cutler is playing, then switch to Chicago.

Det (3 pts)

With 10 days to prepare, can the Vikings put a game plan together that will allow them to go into Seattle and come away with a victory????

The Redskins defense gives up 31.9 points per game this year, and we barely squeaked by with a win. The Seahawks defense gives up 16.6 points per game. That game plan would have to be put together by Alexander the Great for us to win.

Seattle is a tough place to play.
It is our toughest game of the year IMO.
Can we in up there?
You bet your sweet bippie we can.
In 2012 we lost 20-10 and Ponder had less than 100 yards throwing.
We need some real strong OL blocking to get it done.

Let's not get too excited. Seattle's defense is a bit better than the Redskins and Cowboys.

We will struggle to move the ball, whoever is QB will probably struggle...

We're going to suck.
