I can’t believe that I forgot to post the results from last week’s NFL action and it’s already Thursday! Last week was insane with 21 of the 23 competitors registering winning records. There was an eight way tie for first place with Zoner Sports taking the weekly title in a tie-breaker.

GrandmasterB registered a record of 11-3 for the week. The biggest disappointment of the week had to be the Vikings coming back to beat the Packers 28-27 in the closing minutes of the game. Wait! Check that! The Browns checking out in the fourth quarter against Denver was a bigger disappointment than Green Bay losing. I thought for sure that Brady Quinn would win his debut as the Browns starting QB, but it wasn’t to be. I didn’t move up the ladder this week, but I also didn’t drop in the standings…so I guess that’s good.

Here’s how last weeks standings came out:

Call me butter baby, cuz I am on a roll! After a slow start to the 2008 season, I have finally caught a groove and I’m picking improving my record each week. Last week I went 10-4 losing on some a few upset games and one that I knew I should’ve gone the other way on…no worries though, a 10-4 record is nothing to sneeze at.

I had every intention of picking the St. Louis Rams over the Cowboys, and it cost me a shot at a tie-breaker for first place this week. For some stupid reason I also picked the Dolphins to beat the Ravens…that one had me kicking myself. Congratulations to this weeks winner Mac G’s World with an impressive 11-3 record. There was a four-way tie at 10-3 going into last nights game with Mac G being the only member to pick the Pats over the Broncos. After last weeks performance, I have moved up into the #9 spot just one game behind The Sports Dollar, Don Chavez and The Blue Workhorse. LOOK OUT YOU THREE! I’M GUNNING FOR YOU!

I can’t believe that I forgot to post the update for the pigskin picks yesterday. It was another crazy week in the NFL and another week where the NFC East; the so-called powerhouse division of the league laid an egg. The early season favorite Dallas Cowboys managed to lose what should have been an easy win against the Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have emerged as the class of the NFC West this year with a surprising record of 4-2.

I did manage to finish the week with an 8-6 record after tanking during the early games and only managing to hit 4 of the first 8 games. With another “winning” week under my belt I managed to crack into the top 10 with an overall record of 52-36 (.590). I keep waiting for that one breakout week, but with the uncertainty within the league that could be awhile before that shows up. Congratulations to Yep-Yep for winning the weekly competition with an impressive 10-4 record…NICE JOB! Here’s how the rest of the competition faired for the week.
