NFL Football WK 16 2008 Picks Updates

Well, at least I’m off to a positive start this week!  Yay Colts!

UPDATES: 5-4 so far at the end of the early games this week.  Seven games to go and it’s not looking pretty for me.  Can you believe the Steelers gave it up to the Titans?  Me either!  I’ve always thought of the Titans as paper tigers, given their soft schedule this year.  Well, I guess they showed me!  Harumph!  And can I just say how happy I am that My Beloved Patriots stuffed it to the NFC West Champion Cardinals?  That’s 2 weeks in a row we’ve had 40+ on the scoreboard.  It’s a nice feeling. 

UPDATES: Yikes, I’m 8-8 this week.  And I did a little counting and found I’m 8-9 on the Monday night games.  (WK 1 was a double header.)  Not a great year for me, stats-wise, just 151-88. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

• There are no longer any teams with only a single win or loss.  Last week, (WK 15) the Titans lost and the Bengals won.
• The Lions remain the only winless team, going into WK 16.  They have now tied the old Buc’s record of going 0-14.  The Buc’s did it their first season in the league, when seasons were just 14 games long.  (Last year the Dolphins got to 0-13, before winning their first game.)
