Ahira's Hangar

I'm well above 50%, so I'm happy... especially after how so many games were won at the last minute this week.

Again, sorry I'm late folks-I had meetings and appointments all day.

MNF (Monday Night Football) results:
The Bills looked like they had this game wrapped up until a fumble on a late 4th quarter kickoff return set New England up for the score and 2pt conversion, they win 25-24. Tom Brady 378 pass yd 1 TD, Randy Moss 141 rec yd. Oakland's running game had the Chargers on their heels for a while, but they did just enough to pull ahead at the end winning 24-20. Philip Rivers 252 pass yd 1 TD.

final standings:
Everyone (except BigRed) choose the MNF winners so Earthblood escapes with the glory.

Sunday, Sept. 20th
early
Minnesota at Detroit - Peterson runs wild. Farve plays it safe. Stafford still learning throws 2 more INTs
Houston at Tennesseej Titans get in the win column. Take out the Pittsburgh loss on Houston.
St. Louis at Washington Hard to pick a winner out of these two weak teams.
Arizona at Jacksonville Two good teams, have to go with the home team.
Carolina at Atlanta Falcon defense will shut down Carolina like it did Miami. Ryan gives another workmanlike steady performance.
New Orleans at Philadelphia Two very good teams. NO on a roll shocks and squeezes by Philly.
New England at New York Jets Two...or is it three words. Brady's back.
Cincinnati at Green Bay Another close one. Home team gets the edge.
Oakland at Kansas City Jamarius Russell starting to turn the corner. Maybe he's not another Joey Harrington after all.

afternoon
Seattle at San Francisco Seattle continues to thrive on beating other NFC West teams.
Tampa Bay at Buffalo Buffalo players afraid to go home if they lose again, go all out to win. Tampa Bay in disarray.
Pittsburgh at Chicago Lovie makes more excuses for Cutler.
Cleveland at Denver Cleveland is still the not ready for prime time players. Continued in next post.

For some reason my screen goes crazy when a post gets too long, and can't get it to scroll down so splitting my picks in two posts.

Baltimore at San Diego Chargers offense trumps Balt's D

late
New York Giants at Dallas Jerry Jones kicks something or someone and breaks a toe, he's so dang mad at losing this one.
MNF
Indianapolis at Miami Indy looking focused for another run at the SB. Score 33-13. Parcells continues to make me glad he didn't choose the Falcons. Wildcat trickery doesn't work this year.

Wow! Good picks by all last week! This week looks a lot tougher...let's see how badly I can screw it up.

Early
Minnesota
Tennessee
Washington
Arizona
Atlanta
New Orleans
New England
Green Bay
Kansas City -- This game shouldn't count. I think even the NFL is denying its existence.

Afternoon
Seattle
Buffalo
Pittsburgh
Denver
Baltimore

Late
New York Giants -- Dallas couldn't even win the sentimental last game at their old stadium.

MNF
Indianapolis

Tampa Bay at Buffalo - Bills win at home
Pittsburgh at Chicago - Pitt
Cleveland at Denver - broncs
