I'm picking both 10-0 teams to lose. Like characters say in bad movies to justify a bad plan, "It's crazy -- but so crazy it just might work."

Hackers were attacking the server, which is common during U.S. holidays. If anyone is trying to post picks and SportsFilter is incommunicado, you also can email me. I'll add this to the rules.

Current Standings
SportsFilter is holding an NFL Pick 'Em contest with a first prize of an NFL Official Game Ball.
Tommytrump stays in first but the lead narrows to 5 points. Grum@work and myself score 19 each to top the week. In the cherised Costanza, Bender breaks away from the pack to trail by 12.
Two players got 9 points by hitting their locks exactly: Goddam on Seattle by 16 and myself on New England by 7. Only one lock was broken this week: NoMich on Oakland.
Exact margins hit: Arizona by 3 (Grum@work, Tron7, Rumple), Dallas by 10 (Grum@work, Jagsnumberone), Jacksonville by 6 (Tommytrump), New England by 7 (Grum@work), Indianapolis by 3 (Irish627) and Baltimore by 3 (Ufez Jones).
