Hilton Contest Top 5 Picks - Week 4

[GM]

Contestants go with the chalk big time. Also, both sides of NE/Buff and Indy/Jax show up in the top 5....odd..... :shrug: Personally I think the consensus will be wrong this week and the dogs will bark....

Most picked:
1. NY Jets -5 ..... 126
2. New England -5? ..... 106
3. Indianapolis -4 ..... 99
Tie 4. New Orleans -3 ..... 92
Tie 4. Jacksonville +4 ..... 92
Tie 5. Baltimore -4? ..... 89
Tie 5. Buffalo +5? ..... 89

Least picked:
22. Tennessee -3 ..... 40
21. Cleveland +2? ..... 41
20. Cincinnati +3? ..... 42
Tie 19. San Diego +3 ..... 49
Tie 19. Kansas City +4? ..... 49
18. St Louis -3? ..... 50

(I'll never figure out why this contest will list 2 teams tied for 4th, and then two tied for 5th. Someone should let them know that when there is a tie for 4th, the rest of the world considers the next two teams to be tied for 6th).

 

[GM]

By my count the consensus Top 5 each week has gone 8-7 thus far. The #1 consensus pick is 2-1.

New contest leader this week: Joe Perry. His 5-0 week moved him to 12? out of a possible 15 pts for the season (83.3%).

That's crazy!!...Not sure if it scares me or not!!

I absolutely love the Titans this week. (In that purely plutonic kinda way!).
Intersting how the top 4 have all got conflicting plays!! (Considring there are 14 games and all!)

 

[GM]

I agree .... Tenn looks VERY good to me this week. Tenn off two losses against quality teams, now take a big step down in class. SD has played vs average to poor teams...beat the poor team, lost to the average ones. This should be the best team SD has faced yet. Even if McNair somehow doesn't play...this is where the Titans get back on track I think.

BTW, thanks for the email MrC. Haven't gotten around to replying to it yet, but will...thanks for sharing that info!

I was all set to pound Tenn until I looked at their injury report...

OUT

TE Erron Kinney (Calf)
G Zach Piller (Biceps)
FS Lance Schulters (Foot)
DE Juqua Thomas (Ankle)

QUESTIONABLE

OLB Rocky Boiman (Knee)
WR Tyrone Calico (Knees)
MLB Rocky Calmus (Back)
C Justin Hartwig (Ankle)
QB Steve McNair (Sternum)

I think I'll have to pass.

 

[GM]

I'm not too worried about the Tenn injuries. From what I have heard Calico WILL play. McNair being out plays into my First Game After The Injury Theory (bet on a team the first game they are missing their star).

Whether he plays or not, I think the Titans are FAR more capable than SD. Bad teams find a way to lose, and I think this weekend will be no exception for the Bolts. Hate taking road favs on the opposite coast, but at worst I see a push here.

of course NE plays Buff and Indy plays Jax.
