Hello Footballers,
Week 6 was quite a doozy. Somehow the Cowboys managed to pull it out on the road and outsmart the Pats. Maybe they really are as good as the guys on the local sports talk seem to think.
Big props to Calvin, Whoosie and Dana for their perfect guesses. Hopefully a 5 out of 5 takes away a little of the sadness of a Bears loss to the dreaded Packers for Whoosie and for Dana she’s one step closer to catching Charlie. And nice work to all the people who got 4s this week. Some of those big scores helped people to move up.
Charlie H. holds on to his lead, but Calvin and Bill are now right on his heels. One week of upsets and we could have a lot of reshuffling at the top of this thing.
Coming up with the choices for week 7 was tough. There are soooo many games with double digit spreads. I can’t think of another time that we had a 12 and a 15 point spread in the same week. And, I try to pick games that aren’t just the battle of the losers, but this week, the only close games were from teams that were mediocre at best. I tried, folks, I truly did. Here’s what we have to pick in Week 7:
Panthers v Giants
Eagles v. Raiders
Colts v. 49ers
Get those picks in by end of day Friday. This weekend I am working at an early polling location, so I my email timing may be wonky, but I promise to get it out to ya.
For your viewing enjoyment, here’s two photos from our Milwaukee contingent. One is of Paige playing flag football (and clearly dominating the play) and the other is of Bill and Whoosie out having a beer and enjoying the gorgeous weather this past weekend at a bar near their new place downtown.
And, since the Steelers have a bye this weekend, I don’t have a cheer this weekend. Just have a good one, everybody!
