NFL Picks Week 3

[SlavikSvensk]

We get 6 games a week now here so manage to catch at least some gigs permitting been a huge fan for 20 plus years though so pour over web sites and god knows what else for most of the info.

nice...follow college as well?

also, do you read bill simmons?

[SlavikSvensk]

Nothing wrong with that. I find american uhm 'handball' ;) the most entertaining out of all the US sports. Cant stand baseball or basketball

baseball is great, but it takes a lot of patience. basically it's anachronistic, pace-wise. like cricket.

[massplanck]

hence why i hate cricket.

Me neither unless I'm there at the game or it's the playoffs or finals. Then it's the best of the best and not some boring game with half-assed scrubs. I do have to say the same about football(the non-American kind) though. It all has to do with what you were raised on and are used to. My family is all from farm and oil land out in west Texas where American Football reigns supreme. Entire towns turn out to high school games on Friday nights. It's part of the social fabric out there because it's desolate and there's no other town within 40 or 50 miles with anything else to do. I was raised to be a Cowboys fan since I was an infant. Church would let out at 11:45 instead of 12:00 so everyone could get home to catch the beginning of the noon game. I could name the entire roster of the Cowboys from the age of 6(including non-starters). I was the king of my school yard because my grandfather worked with one of the Cowboys(Jay Saldi) from their 1977 Superbowl team in the off-season. He had gotten me a football signed by their entire roster including the coach Tom Landry. I still have it and it's worth a pretty penny.

No College games mean nothing here to be honest with the allegiance thing there a bit of a hard watch to be honest.

Simmons I do read but his picks suck as bad as yours :)

[SlavikSvensk]

nah mine are worse. he picks by spread, not out and out winners, so a few work. and if i'm not mistaken, yours weren't exactly nostradamus-esque either :;

but we'll see next week :)

Not counting tonights game I think I was 10-5 this week not nostrodamus but better than yours :) Im up for a predictions league though If only to show someone from the UK who has never even played the game can predict better than US people brought up with it ;)
