Pundits are at it already

[SoonerPatriot]

who did he pick for this week?

He picked the Patriots. He was the only one at ESPN.COM besides Simmons.

I want every pundit except Boomer Esiason picking the Colts.

Based on the early results America thinks the Pats will win.

lets all get on that poll and register our votes for the colts!!! I think it's actually a good luck charm!!

I hope the team doesn't take that attitude. The Colts are always tough and the league will be pulling for them like usual. Then if we get past the Colts, we'll play the Saints, another sentimentally favored team with a damn good offense. If the D plays like it did today, we should do it. But don't assume it's already our's.

I'm just a fan, so I'm allowed. And as I alluded to, I've got $3400 on the line.

rememebr last time troy brown broke a patriots receiving record and was flagged for a personal foul.

any idea who didn't play in that first indy game except for rodney?

plus the defense finally slowed manning in the 2nd half.

QB 16 M.Cassel, T 65 W.Britt Not Active DB 26 E.Wilson, TE 45 G.Mills, LB 58 P.Woods, G 61 S.Neal, G/C 71 R.Hochstein, TE 82 D.Graham, DL 90 L.Smith, DE 91 M.Hill


I'd say Dan Graham and Neal could have had a good amount of effect on protection and run offense.

If I'm not mistaken Sean picked the Chargers 'officially', with the hedge/disclaimer that if the Pats won he wouldn't be surprised...

Way to play it safe Sean!

Well he was one of the 2 ESPN analysts to pick the Patriots over the Chargers, so I'm afraid that means your going to lose on Sunday.
