It's That Time: Lombardi Handicappers League Season Four (FOOTBALL PICK'EM)

[Guynemer]

Panthers a three point favorite over the Lions.

Mortal lock of the millenium: Carolina. Marty Mornhenwig (or however the hell it's spelled) couldn't find a victory if it got down on its knees and started blo...

um...

You get the picture. And I apologize for that.

[Ming]

I was actually surprised to see the spread that low.
Now granted, the spreads are based on what the "betters" are doing, and not what real experts think

So either the betters think that Carolina is almost as bad as the miserable Lions, or the Lions aren't as bad as they looked last week...

I also thought that this was the "lock" of the week... but you never know... on any given Sunday... blah... blah... blah...

(-Jrabbit finally exhales) TG for the crosswind inside the Atlanta dome...

...and too bad Cinci and Detroit don't play this year. We may never know who's worse.

[SlowwHand]

I'm consistent as I can be at least.

[-Jrabbit]

Woo-hoo!

Not the worst, not the worst!

[SuperSneak]

Way to go, Mobius!!!!!

[Chris 62]

I had 9, Drake 9, Sloww is binging up the Slacker's rear, only 5 right.

Some guy named Lazer had 13, and only MOBIUS and some guy named Orioles failed to pick.

Slickerpickers are beating us guys, time to pick up the pace.

Some GIRL named Orioles. Cut her some slack...

[SlowwHand]

Cut her some slack for not picking?
What in the world has her gender to do with not picking?
That's ok. Tell her I appreciate her making my score total look better.

[Guynemer]

It's official. The Lions are a karmic plague on the Detroit sports scene, payback for the godlike Red Wings. Hockey season is almost here...

[reismark]

Can I say something? I actually think the Lions have a chance to pull an upset this week, if they plug Harrington in finally, since Green will probably have to sit out...

[Guynemer]

Actually, you may not be off the mark on that. It's the home opener at the brand new stadium; the Lions have a history of rising to the occasion, such as their recent successes on Thanksgiving (last year notwithstanding).

A Lions' victory Sunday? Hmmmm...

Green Bay 34, Detroit 2. The safety counts as a moral victory.

[-Jrabbit]

Tough week.

(* -Jrabbit makes offering to the gods of Vegas, then bows head in prayer *)

Heck, I'll try anything once.

[SuperSneak]

Reismark--
I have not been online all week due to a job change...I hope you'll honor these picks, as I thought I'd have until 10am to pick...check out the time stamp...no game has kicked off yet!
I don't know if this is acceptable, but I'm posting before the first kickoff...thought I had until 10am....Sneak
