Not sure if it's "fair" or not, but I based the overall standings on winning percentage. Is there a better way? I'm open to suggestions.

Here are the games for Week 5:

Baltimore @ Detroit
Chicago @ Cleveland
Miami @ Buffalo
New England @ Atlanta
New Orleans @ Green Bay
Seattle @ St. Louis
Tampa Bay @ NY Jets
Tennessee @ Houston
Indianapolis @ San Francisco
Carolina @ Arizona
Philadelphia @ Dallas
Washington @ Denver
Cincinnati @ Jacksonville
Pittsburgh @ San Diego

1. I think winning percentage is adequate for our uses.

Here are my picks! (I am sure I will not be as successful this week - door is open!)

Baltimore over Detroit (I have no faith in Harrington)
Chicago over Cleveland
Buffalo over Miami
Atlanta over New England
Green Bay over New Orleans (Favre looked great in the second half this week)
Seattle over St. Louis
NYJets over Tampa Bay
Houston over Tennessee
Indianapolis over San Francisco
Carolina over Arizona
Dallas over Philly
Denver over Washington
Cincinnati over Jacksonville
San Diego over Pittsburgh

Yes I know I have mostly road teams winning...I just picks em!

[Mojambo]

2. Dallas over Philly? I like that pick.

The Cowboys can get to the QB and McNabb isn't totally healthy. Good call.

I'll be along with my picks in another day or so.

[Stephist]

9. 57% Accurate

Baltimore @ Detroit-Detroit
Chicago @ Cleveland-Cleveland
Miami @ Buffalo-Buffalo
New England @ Atlanta-Atlanta
New Orleans @ Green Bay-Green Bay
Seattle @ St. Louis-St. Louis
Tampa Bay @ NY Jets-Tampa Bay
Tennessee @ Houston-Houston
Indianapolis @ San Francisco-Indianapolis
Carolina @ Arizona-Carolina
Philadelphia @ Dallas-Philadelphia
Washington @ Denver-Denver
Cincinnati @ Jacksonville-Cincinnati
Pittsburgh @ San Diego-San Diego

3. Percentage is good for me.

Baltimore (Harrington won't stand a chance against that D.)
Cleveland (Chicago could easily win this if they had any semblance of an offense.)
Miami
New England
New Orleans (Yes, Green Bay sucks that bad.)
St. Louis
Tampa Bay
Houston (They're due, they're at home, and the Titans are just not doing anything.)
Indy in a laugher.
Carolina
Philly
Denver
Jacksonville
TOUGHEST PICK OF THE WEEK: Pittsburgh. What a toss-up. But I think the Steelers having a bye week after a tough loss and San Diego coming off an emotional win makes it ripe for Big Ben and his crew.

4. Don't believe the hype ... Cincy is getting smacked down this weekend...

Baltimore @ Detroit
Chicago @ Cleveland

New England @ Atlanta

Baltimore @ Detroit = Detroit because Boller is awefuller

New England @ Atlanta = New England
New Orleans @ Green Bay = Green Bay
Seattle @ St. Louis = Seattle
Tampa Bay @ NY Jets = Tampa
Tennessee @ Houston = Tennessee

Kitchen, you're damn good at this.
P.S. Percentage works for me.

6. LOL

Not bad for a GIRL, huh?

:rofl:

[Tafiti]

11. Hey...

...you forgot to make a pick on the Carolina/Arizona game.

Or are you going way out on a limb and calling a tie!? :D

[dr.strangelove]

7. Even though I am in last, percentage seems the best way to do this

Buffalo over Miami
New England over Atlanta
New Orleans over Green Bay
Seattle over St. Louis
Tampa Bay over NY Jets
Houston over Tennessee
Indianapolis over San Fran
Arizona over Carolina
Philadelphia over Dallas
Denver over Washington

[nickinSTL]

8. my picks

I'm comfortable with percentages...and pretty happy to be around the middle of the pack. :D

Baltimore over Detroit
Chicago over Cleveland
tough to tell on this one...Cleveland's only played a couple of the best teams and one of the worst...doesn't give a real clear picture of how good they really are...and I'm a Bears fan :shrug:
Miami over Buffalo
Atlanta over New England
not sure on this one...but the Pats haven't impressed me that much so far this year
New Orleans over Green Bay
after last week...it'll probably be this week that GB gets a win...oh, well...
Seattle over St. Louis
Tampa Bay over NY Jets
Tennessee over Houston
Indianapolis over San Francisco
the 49ers just dropped their QB for a rookie...can't believe they'll get a win in the rookie's first game...and that against Indy
Carolina over Arizona
Philadelphia over Dallas
Denver over Dallas
Cincinnati over Jacksonville
San Diego over Pittsburgh

[nickinSTL]

15. ouch...my results before the Sunday night game...

5-7

and the Sunday night game isn't going my way, either.

Wow, the Packers sure got that win this week... :wow:

[Mojambo]

16. I'm having an okay week.

If the Jaguars hang on I'll be 10-3 going into Monday night.

Damn Vinnie Testeverde. I'll always hate that bastard.

[Mojambo]

14. Guess I'd better do this now

Didn't have time to do much research at all, but here goes.

Baltimore @ Detroit
Chicago @ Cleveland (They both suck)
Miami @ Buffalo (Holcomb is just good enough to win a low scoring game)
New England @ Atlanta (I'll admit, I really have no idea here. New England should respond)
New Orleans @ Green Bay
Seattle @ St. Louis (I really don't like Seattle's chances, but I'm rooting for them so I gotta pick them.)
Tampa Bay @ NY Jets
Tennessee @ Houston
Indianapolis @ San Francisco
Carolina @ Arizona
Philadelphia @ Dallas (Philly is banged up and Dallas can get pressure on McNabb)
Washington @ Denver (I just don't think Washington is for real)
Cincinnati @ Jacksonville (See Washington above)
Pittsburgh @ San Diego (Total toss up)
