Thread: Upset of the Week: Week 8

Lot of close looking games this week. Tough call.
I'm going with Cleveland to beat Chicago and send them into a tailspin...

I'll take the 49er's to shock the Colts.

That would be hilarious. Although, with Alex Smith at QB they might be able to give them a run for their $$$

Probably wishful thinking on my part, but I have a feeling.......might just be the Chipotle I had for dinner last night.

I'm sticking with Atlanta over the Saints, with the Saints defense being the week link. They won't generate turnovers and Turner will grind them away on the ground.

If the Saint's defence is their weak link then the whole league is in trouble...;-) They've been playing lights out lately. Sharper especially.
That being said, I think that's the best upset shot for the week.

Broncos over the Ravens.

Mine as well! Not just saying it because I'm a Broncos fan, I'm actually betting the game + the points.

Egirls shock the world by beating the New York football Giants.

I think the Chiefs can actually beat out the bye week without a loss! It'll be tough but I know they have it in them to come out of the bye week without another tally in the Loss column.

In a real game, I will say Cleveland over Chicago

i cant see it as being an "upset" when a 6-0 team beats a 3-3 team regardless of what vegas has to say about it.
and i keep thinking at first glance we have all the players and attitude to beat the ravens down at their house....then i look at things like the fact that there 3 losses have been by a combined total of 11 points against 3 very good clubs.
and the fact that they are fighting for their playoff lives.
then i say....so where the bolts....and it was their house.
then i think about when they were 3-0 and had been mentioned as the best team in the nfl......then
i say damnit the broncos are better than any of the so called experts think......then.....well you get the point.
i know one thing this is gonna be a great game to watch and i'm STOKED!
i am going over to missoula,mt. to visit my daughter and i got a room at the marriott with a 42" lcd tv and a mini fridge (beer will be required for this one) and i hope there are no unsuspecting travelers trying to nap on the same floor as my room ...cuz it might get kinda LOUD !

GO BRONCOS 7-0

GO BRONCOS 7-0

I'm saying upset soley based on odds makers having us as a underdog in this game.

If that happens it's good for the Broncos draft pick!

But, I wouldn't bet on it. The Bears defense is their weak link right now. That team looks a lot like the 2008 Broncos -- can score but can't stop people from scoring. Their WRs aren't as good as the Broncos, and their defense isn't as bad as Denver's was last year, but it's the same dynamic.

Cutler is taking more chances because he has to, and throwing INTs as a result.

In the three games they won, Cutler played conservatively and didn't make mistakes. In their three losses, the defense gave up big plays and then they need a desperation play. That doesn't work out well for anybody for very long -- just as it didn't for Denver last year.

I wish Cutler well in his career, just NOT this season when the Broncos are counting on that draft pick!

i know i even pointed out earlier that the 2 teams are statistically a dead heat with the home field 3 points factored in.....it will be a bruiser of a game!
and may the best team win......the broncos !

Wow. Just wow.

I've seen some delusional fans, but that one just made me sit back a bit and think. Wait a second. Did I just read what I thought I did?
