The "Upset Special" thread

Post by Punu »

I have this thing I do with my buddies every week... We pick one upset.

Pick one and if you get it right... well you get respect... take it. One time I picked 3 weeks in a row, crazy.

This week I say

Niners over eagles.

Talk some trash, do whatever, but just post your upset special before anything else.
=================================

Carolina at Tampa Bay

Chicago at Minnesota

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

Green Bay at Detroit

Jacksonville at Indianapolis

N.Y. Jets at Buffalo

Tennessee at Miami

Washington at Houston

Baltimore at Cleveland

N.Y. Giants at Seattle

Philadelphia at San Francisco

St. Louis at Arizona 4:15 p.m.

Denver at New England

I like this idea, but IMO you have to pick one of the following to qualify as a real upset:

Tennessee
Cleveland
San Fran
Or the unspeakable...Houston

I pick Cleveland.

Mine was the 49ers over Philly, too. But I'm tempted to say "Redskins over Houston" :oops:

Not many upsets this week but if I had to have one, it would be: Tennessee over Miami

This is the right thread to show that a Texans win would be an upset. But if you REALLY want to give it a try, why not join us here?

The 4 guys who hognosticated a NE win over the Bengals should get a lot of points for that "upset"!

good job guys :up:
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance
Snyder's W/L record = 45% (80-96) - Snyder/Allen = 41% (59-84-1)

Chaddukes 1-0 !
Punu 0-1
Gay4pacman 0-1
Dangerfield 0-1 (pick one a week, but thanks for participat'n bro)
Irn-Bru 0-1
Joe Texan 0-1 (Texans over SKINS? Hahaha)
Nuskins 0-1
Redskingush 0-1 (close one for titans and phish)
SkinsJock, was Cinnci favored over the Pats that week? Let me know.

Anyway, we only have one call that was correct!
Good Job Chaddukes…

Try again this week, overall record for upsets that are even near .500 at the end of the season means you’re a bad ass in football knowledge.

Attaining a 3 weak streak means you’re a football God.


That's respect, plus I'll change my sig respect'n the winner as soon as a 3 week Skid happens...(sorry that's all I got, but respect counts for something!) :up:

--------------------------------------------------------------
NEW RULE, YOU MAY NOT PICK THE SKINS... We'll leave them
out of this.

Week 5 Spreads

Indy favored by 18.5 over Tenn
Vikings favored by 6.5 over Lions
Saints favored by 7 over Bucs
Rams favored by 3 over Packers
Pats favored by 10.5 over Dolphins
Bears favored by 11 over Bills
Carolina favored by 9 over Browns
Jags favored by 7 over Jets
Cheifs favored by 4 over Cards
Niners favored by 3.5 over Raiders
Eagles favored by 2 over Cowboys
Chargers favored by 3 over Steelers


Keep in mind they do not have to cover the spread, they have to
win out right, I'm just posting the info to make it easier for ya.


Hope this feeds some of your gambling urges so you don't have to spend your money on those bs sites!

Good luck!

Thanks for the kudos Punu, but I was only pointing out that 4 THN hognosticators had picked the Patsies and they were the underdog to the Bungles - I was not one who did!

I will try and find one this week :wink:

Same old TRO, wait until later in the season. Someone will come up with a upset weekend and you can pick all you want until then can we just get one game.

If you get them all right you get NOTHING - you'd still be under 50% for the week in Hognostigations

In that case, my upset LOCK OF THE WEEK is Jets over Jags.

Going 6/6 for my upsets will just be the icing on the cake. :wink:

The Jags ran into something special last week. But I can see upset and New York in the same sentence this week
