This was the hardest week to make picks since the opening weeks of the season. Players were sitting out of games, hot teams turned cold, and somehow a team went 15-1 with backups. The teams that sat players were almost all that were guarenteed playoff spots. The list includes Indy, SD, Philly, NE for the last quarter, and Atl. San Deigo some how stopped KC and won. Indy, Philly and Atl. just took their losses, and NE pounded the 49ers by starting everyone including Brady until late in the 3rd quarter. The worse thing this week was the hot teams or heavily favored teams just choked. The Vikings were suppose to stomp the Redskins and came up very short compared to what the score says. Buffalo lost to the Steelers' backups in what was a meaningless game for Pitt. Carolina lost to N.O. which is a huge upset to me, for Carolina came into the game just dominating teams and let the Ain'ts to beat them at home. The most amazing game this week was the Steelers @ Buffalo game. Buffalo came into the game extremely hot, had a good defense, and ran the crap out to McGahee. They were upset to find out that the Steelers have a lot of good backups that could beat most teams. To me, the Steelers have an attitude that they will win every game, and they do. Big Ben, Bettis, Ward, Burress, and most of the defense sat out of the game. Bledsoe played like he did when a Pat., and the Buffalo Defense just didn't come up with enough big plays. What a week.
