Someone is jumping on the Chargers bandwagon.  Don't wanna say "i told you so..."

[Phishfan]

How funny is it that the night before the results came out the #2 team on the list lost?

They were playing another top 10 team... at that team. Probably not surprising if that results in a close game.

[Dave Gray]

The results don't seem to be correct.  I voted PIT at #8.

I'm actually surprised by the love the panel has for PIT.  They have won games, but haven't looked great to me in a few weeks.  The only Top 10 difference for me is a swap of the Chargers and Titans at the last spot, which I'm fine with.  One more win and I'll be with the Chargers as well.

[AZ Fins Fan 55]

Who left the Ravens off the ballot completely and why? Not judging just want to know the reasoning behind it.

[Sunstroke]

My PT for this week was:

1)  Pittsburgh Steelers
2)  Baltimore Ravens
3)  Indianapolis Colts
4)  New England Patriots
5)  New York Jets
6)  New York Giants
7)  Kansas City Chiefs
8 ) Green Bay Packers
9)  New Orleans Saints
10) Atlanta Falcons

The results don't seem to be correct.  I voted PIT at #8.

This boggles my mind... No matter how cynically I look at the Steelers, I can't find any way to justify dropping them out of the top 5.

I just don't think they're that good a team.

In their last 4 games, they are 2-2.  One of those "wins" was a loss to us, and the other was a squeaker to Cincy (that they probably should've lost, as well.)  Right now, I think that they are 7 better teams than the Steelers that beat them head to head.

They are correct, 4 is a typo.

Look at the total points.  I can't remember the last time a #1 team secured that spot with 88 total points.  One reason are rankings like yours, you can see your ranking that made a direct impact on that point total.

[Dave Gray]

Maine, how many people participate in the contest each week?

[Spider-Dan]

They are correct, 4 is a typo.

The point totals may be correct, but I know I voted BAL at #4, yet the list says BAL's low vote was #3.

As long as the point totals are accurate, I'm not too concerned about the high/low... just putting it out there.

Here's an interesting note: with the BAL correction, I either set or tied the high/low for seven of the ten teams:

PIT (high)
PHI (high)
IND (high)
BAL (low)
GB (high)
NYJ
NE (low)
NO
NYG
ATL (low)

I also set the high mark for NO.  So I guess I'm a bit out-of-step with everyone else.

[Dave Gray]

I just don't understand all this Pittsburgh love.  Maybe this week will prove me wrong.

[Brian Fein]

Pittsburgh lost to the Saints.  The same Saints that lost to the Browns. 

This week, Pittsburgh will lose to the Patriots.  The same Patriots that lost to the Browns.

Maybe the Browns should be #1?

[fyo]

Maybe the Browns should be #1?

If the Browns beat the Jets this week, sure. Maybe not #1, but I'd catapult them into the top 10.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

I just don't understand all this Pittsburgh love.  Maybe this week will prove me wrong.

From your lips to gods ears. I am rooting for Dave to be proven correct.  I have not alterior motive,  I just want to see Dave proven correct.
