  • Weekly Picks and Suicide Team! 2009 NFL Picks: Week 3

    Ok, so here goes...Lots of cash rides on this.....Just make your picks...NO BS. Just pick 'em.

    Snake is in a two NFL pools for 2009. A suicide pool and weekly pick pool. I know many of us Rats are in the same. I'm offering my NFL picks weekly and my suicide pick.

    Suicide pools work as such:

    Pick a team to win every week starting week 1. If they win, you move on. If they lose, you are out. If they win, you can NEVER pick them again for the season. You have to be smart with it.

    For ex. Snake picked Seattle to beat the Rams in week 1. The Rams suck, and Seattle whooped them 28-0. I can no longer pick Seattle. Snake likes to pick weak teams early (as some say to just pick strong teams every week like Minn., GB, Pitt, NE), as I don't consider Seattle a power, but the Rams suck. I'm of the logic to pick mid-range teams early like Seattle and Washington to allow you to pick the top-notchers later, for "sure" wins. Whatever though. Advise the Snake. Some say don't do that...just pick the "for sure WIN" team...and hope for the best later. Whatever floats your boat. I'll let you know when I bow out. I'll bet against the Rams weekly.

    I picked Washington for week 2 Suicide...

    I'll edit this post/title weekly so as to not post up new topics weekly (only this one).

    I'm sure many Rats got a say as to who's gonna win in their own pools, as here's Snake's Take and we can all help each other out, hopefully. I'll edit/change the title to Week 3, etc. after these games from week 2, etc.

    Feel free to post your winners weekly/suicide team and argue as such as this will go on for all 17 weeks in the 2009 NFL season. We can only help each other out as I'm listing it late nite Sat. as I just posted mine today in my pools. Post early and often, as we as Rats can only help each other out with our picks and advice.

    I'm gonna post up the teams and Suicide Team EVERY week/weekly so it's easy to copy and paste/ and post up for everyone. Critique, advise, post your own as this will be ongoing and updated weekly all season!

    Have fun!...Here goes with Snake's Week 2 Picks and Suicide Team:

        So I started this topic late Sat. last week before the week 2 games, and will try to stay up on this early in the week like tonight for week 3. I'll edit the title (as I did for week 3) and post up early in the week (Tuesday or so) so we can get our picks in and help each other out.

        Snake did all right in week 2 as there were a few upsets, and I really sweated out that Redskin and Oakland win. Who didn't? LOL.

        Some notes:

        -Is NE no longer a dominant team?
        -Is Minn under Brett that good, or have they not played anyone yet?
        -Why can't Oakland get a QB? They have it all, but that? No? JaMarcus Russell is really bad. What was he 3-17 for 40 yards and they won? Damn. May as well cut JaMarcus and his fat contract and play the punter at QB for those stats. At least big Al would save some cash....Damn...

        To note, I'm one of 4 left out of 12 in my suicide pool as many picked GB over Cinn. in week 2. So Snake is sitting pretty now.

        Looking at week 3, I'm looking at early good suicide bets. I narrowed it down to two....

        Packers over the Rams.
        Ravens over the Browns.

        I'm thinking Ravens over Browns is a gimmee as both look good, and kinda want to save GB for a later creampuff like Detroit.

        Who would you guys pick on a suicide (must win) for Week 3?

        Here's an early look at week 3. Post your picks as it helps us all, but it looks tough in week 3...Lots of close games. Post your picks and suicide as this debate can only help us with our picks.

        I won't post mine till Saturday or so. I like to wait it out, but here's a list of the games in Week 3, so you can post 'em up how you see 'em and copy/paste the games with the WINNER you project:


        Atlanta Falcons @ New England Patriots

        Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens

        Green Bay Packers @ St. Louis Rams

        Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans

        Kansas City Chiefs @ Philadelphia Eagles

        New York Giants @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

        Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals

        San Francisco 49ers @ Minnesota Vikings

          In a elimination pool I am in, I used Baltimore and Minny already. Started with 25 and it is down to nine.

          Right now I am looking at Eagles, Titans or Cowboys as my pick. Shitty thing is I have to get my pick in by Thursday......

          Leaning towards Cowboys... They can't lose their first two at new Texas Stadium.. Can they ?

              picking games without the spread is lame.

                    LOL, Snake just hates the Cowboys. They are the Yankees of football. But no matter what, I don't know if I'd pick them over the Panthers as a "sure win". Since you already picked the Ravens previously, Sparkey, I'd say pick the Pack over the Rams. No way we go 1-2 vs. the Rams (who I consider to be the Lions of 2009). Personally, Snake still has the Baltimore option to go with in my pool, so that's prob. gonna be my pick, but the Pack should paste the Rams...of course we should have pasted the Bengals too, no?

                    Either way, I didn't drop my official picks yet in my weekly pool (and BTW LEWCWA...weekly pools don't consider the spread, just winners, that's how it goes)...But here's Snake's early look at week 3:

                    Atlanta Falcons @ New England Patriots (NE returns to form at home)

                    Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens Ravens (Ravens in a pasting)

                    Green Bay Packers @ St. Louis Rams (Pack big time)

                    Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans (Texans are better than you think)

                    Kansas City Chiefs @ Philadelphia Eagles (Eagles barely)

                    New York Giants @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Giants are good)

                    Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals (Pitt)

                    San Francisco 49ers @ Minnesota Vikings (Vikes)

                    Washington Redskins @ Detroit Lions (Skins barely)

                    Chicago Bears @ Seattle Seahawks (Hawks)

                    New Orleans Saints @ Buffalo Bills (Saints)

                    Denver Broncos @ Oakland Raiders (Da Raiders)

                    Miami Dolphins @ San Diego Chargers (Chargers gotta win)

                    Tennessee Titans @ New York Jets (Jets are good)

                    Indianapolis Colts @ Arizona Cardinals (Cards are pretty good)

                    Carolina Panthers @ Dallas Cowboys (Cowgirls)

                      You'd think...but then all you have to do is look at various suicide pools, and see the players drop like flies!

                      I'm thinking NYG looks a good pick this week.

                        I already said as much to LWECWA (many bowed out picking GB over Cinn in my suicide pool), but this is just pick' em (no spread). That's how pick'em pools go (no spread).

                        The Giants look very tough, Guinness. But I dunno if I'd pick them in a suicide/elimination pool if I didn't have to especially AT the Bucs.

                        The Ravens over the lowly ass Browns, and the Pack over the lowly ass Rams (Snake is 2-0 on his suicide betting against the Rams so far, so it seems a good pick) look better. The Giants are tough, but I dunno if I'd go so far as to pick them "for sure" to win (the Giants that is)....although they do look the class of the NFC along with the Vikes (maybe) so far after 2 weeks, Guinness. Just saying.....Some were saying the Bucs would win 9 this year. IMO that's not a safe bet. They (the Giants) "should" win. I don't see how the Browns or Rams do. Those IMO are the safer bets for a "sure" win.
                        Snake's Twitter comments would be LEGENDARY.........if I was ugly or gave a shit about Twitter.

                          OK. Revised, here's my list of picks to WIN this week. Pretty confident in this one (looked at spreads, injuries, and gut-instincts as many of these games are gonna be close either way in week 3):

                          Atlanta Falcons @ New England Patriots PATRIOTS

                          Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens RAVENS

                          Green Bay Packers @ St. Louis Rams PACKERS

                          Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans TEXANS

                          Kansas City Chiefs @ Philadelphia Eagles EAGLES

                          New York Giants @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers GIANTS

                          Pittsburgh Steelers @ Cincinnati Bengals STEELERS

                          San Francisco 49ers @ Minnesota Vikings VIKINGS

                          Washington Redskins @ Detroit Lions SKINS (changed this one...LIONS need to win a game again till I feel confident EVER picking them to win)

                          Chicago Bears @ Seattle Seahawks BEARS

                          New Orleans Saints @ Buffalo Bills SAINTS(changed this one....Bills are tough, but NO is beastin' lately)

                          Denver Broncos @ Oakland Raiders RAIDERS

                          Miami Dolphins @ San Diego Chargers CHARGERS

                          Tennessee Titans @ New York Jets (changed to JETS...tough as hell lately)

                          Indianapolis Colts @ Arizona Cardinals (changed to CARDS...at home...gonna be close)

                          Carolina Panthers @ Dallas Cowboys COWBOYS

                          Went with the RAVENS as an elimination/suicide pick. No doubter there AT ALL.

                              I have 3 picks in a $ suicide pool. This week I took Baltimore, Packers and Philly. Kinda wishing I wouldn't have taken the Philly pick now.
