looks perfect to me.. good job Maske :)

The Eagles over the Redskins?

No Mahe Mahe for you!!!!

I'm starting to think that Byron Leftwich just isn't very good.

I've always liked him, but the Jags finally cut him and now no one else wants to pick him up. Maybe it's time to admit that NFL front offices know more about personnel than I do.

Alright Mark, you kicked ass last week. BOL this week.

Eagles
Ravens
Jags
49ers
Colts
Steelers
Pats
Packers
Bengals
Texans
Saints
Lions
Seahawks
Cowboys
Bears
Broncos

YTD: 9-7
Last Week: 9-7

I think after week one we need to take a look at the credability of the game.We have a league of thugs,and now coaches cheating.I think THEY NEED TO FIRE THE COACH OF THE PATRIOTS.Peet Rose is banned from baseball for betting,in my mind that is no different than cheating!FIRE HIM AND HIS STAFF!

Please. Like this has had anything more than a marginal effect in the second half of any paticular came. This is such small potatoes. Like other countries complaining about the US. envy and self loathing are evident from all corners. If the headline had been "Chiefs caught stealing signals" would anyone have cared? No. Even if it had been the Colts or Seelers? No one would care. Most teams change signals after the half anyway. I've got the Rams and Pas and then the rest of your picks.

upset pick????????

That is as wimpy as an upset pick as I have ever seen. Pussy cat move

To Pats fan.. does your team's integrety not matter to you? if your taking a test and your teacher catches you cheating, even if it was only one problem, you still fail the test. Its not what kind of advantage you gain, its the fact that they were warned by the league not to do this sort of thing, and what do you know, they do it the FIRST GAME OF THE YEAR. You can say that everyone does it, and it may be part of the gamesman ship to have someone trying to steal signs, like in baseball. But to have someone with a camera there taping everything the D coordinator does goes above and beyond that. And the fact is that no other team has been caught or even accused of having one of their employees be there specifically to video tape the opposing team.

And remember that this was only the first game, if this had gone undedected do you think the patriots simply would have stopped after the jets game? And consider the advantage the coaches would have, especially if they play the oppent twice. There is a reason you are not allowed to keep your playbook after you leave a team, if you know what the D is coming with its almost to easy to exploit it.

Please keep picking the Eagles. I hope the Skins are developing a chip on their shoulder. Screw the Iggles!

Go Skins. 75th Anniversary..... We go 16 and O.....

Later

That's not an upset pick. The Rams are awful. Please. The 49ers are this years Cardinals, except they may actually end with a winning record.

Didn't have the guts to pick TEN over IND? Now that's an upset pick.

Quarterback Alex Smith rallies Niners for 20-17 victory over Cardinals

Alex Smith acknowledged he couldn't have played much worse in the first 57 minutes of the San Francisco 49ers' opener, which made his final three minutes even more stunning.
Yet no matter the year or the coaching staff, there's nothing surprising about another gut-wrenching loss for the Arizona Cardinals. Arnaz Battle scored on a one-yard end-around with 22 seconds to play, and the 49ers erased an inept offensive performance with an 86-yard scoring drive to cap a 20-17 victory over the Cardinals in the NFL's final opener Monday night.
Smith knew he looked terrible until leading that near-flawless march on chilly Bill Walsh Field for the 49ers, who beat the Cardinals for the first time in five tries during coach Mike Nolan's tenure.
"The win is the most important thing, ugly or not," Smith said. "I think we (showed) character to really hang in there and know we were going to get it done."
Smith finished 15-of-31 for 126 yards - 60 on the final drive. The third-year quarterback also made a key 25-yard scramble on fourth-and-1, and Battle hauled in a gutsy catch at the one-yard line before running it in for the decisive score.
"Offensively, we saved our best for last, which is the best thing I can say for us," Nolan said.
Both teams' high-priced offences floundered amid the swirling winds in the first game since the field was renamed in Walsh's honour - but the Cardinals' slip was particularly cruel, even by Arizona standards.
Anquan Boldin caught a five-yard touchdown pass from Matt Leinart with 6:40 to play for the Cardinals, who kept the 49ers out of the end zone for 55 straight minutes between Frank Gore's early score and Battle's final TD.

"The defence held up the whole game until that last drive," cornerback Eric Green said. "You can play great the whole way, but if you mess up one play, it's like you didn't play well at all."
Arizona's defence finally bent at the end, handing new coach Ken Whisenhunt a typically crushing Cardinals loss in his debut. He's the ninth straight coach to lose his first game with the Cards.
A look at the stat sheet will hurt: Arizona held the 49ers to 194 total yards, just 30 in the second half - until that final drive.
"We had a chance at the end," Whisenhunt said. "We hung in there, we fought, but we just didn't get it done. Just a disappointing loss for our football team."
Edgerrin James rushed for 92 yards and a score, and Leinart was 14-of-28 for 102 yards with two interceptions in the meeting between two long-struggling NFC West clubs with cautiously high hopes for the season.
"I'm very disappointed in myself, the way I played as the leader of this football team," Leinart said. "It starts with me getting the ball to the right guy and making the plays. I didn't do that. That falls on me. We're not going to win football games if I play like that at quarterback."
After Leinart hit Boldin to cap the Cardinals' go-ahead drive, San Francisco finally got something going two series later.
After Darrell Jackson let a 45-yard pass go through his hands in the end zone with 1:37 left, Smith scrambled to the Arizona 20 on the Niners' longest play of the game http://www.ticketwood.com/nfl/SanFrancisco-49ers-Tickets/index.php 49ers Tickets . Battle then caught a pass near the goal line with about 30 seconds left, but safety Terrence Holt knocked it out of his hands as he stretched for a touchdown.
The ball dribbled into the end zone, where Green misplayed it and Jackson recovered. Because only the fumbler can recover for his team if the ball goes forward in the final two minutes, it was placed at the one.
Battle, who promised a steak dinner to Jackson for recovering the fumble, scored on the next play.
Whisenhunt remained mystified by the rulings around Battle's catch at the one.
"I asked them, and they said they thought it was a catch," Whisenhunt said. "I went to the official and asked him, are they going to review it? He said they came back and said it was a catch. I didn't see it. I saw it on the screen. The only thing I saw was the ball coming out."
Shawntae Spencer intercepted Leinart's final pass with eight seconds left.
Gore rushed for 55 yards and an early score after sitting out the entire pre-season to heal his broken right hand. Even while wearing their cherry-red throwback uniforms, the San Francisco offence struggled without a big game from its catalyst.
"They came at us with a tough defensive scheme, but somehow we were able to put together that last drive," Gore said. "I feel we can move the ball against anyone."
Both quarterbacks made turnovers that led to touchdowns in a defence-dominated first half.
Leinart's first pass of the night was easily intercepted by Pro Bowl cornerback Walt Harris, and Gore scored on a six-yard run just 3½ minutes in. But Smith fumbled midway through the second quarter when linebacker Karlos Dansby easily eluded Gore's block for a sack. James capped the short drive with a seven-yard scoring run.
Notes: The 49ers honoured Walsh, who died of leukemia on July 30, with a halftime tribute that included a short film. The club unveiled a plaque in Walsh's memory, and the coach's initials were added to the ring of honour on Candlestick Park's facade. ... Arizona lost new C Al Johnson to a left knee injury in the opening minute of the second half, forcing undrafted rookie Lyle Sendlein into action.
