Week 3 Prediction Games

And we're back for week 3. I continue my slow leasurely stroll through the bottom of the rankings, ready to pounce on the mid level folks. Watch your back!
Once again, thanks to virtually everybody for following the formatting rules. We had one late entrant who didn't for one game and wasn't given credit for it. So, make sure to follow the rules. Since people have been doing such a good job with the formatting, I've moved the rules to the bottom of the post. Keep up the good work with the formatting and all will be well in the world.
On to the second week of games! The matchups have started getting rather interesting. Normally I don't care about the Raiders, but they get a rather surprising 2-0 Broncos team (although Denver hasn't exactly had the roughest of schedules so far). Atlanta gets a big test at New England and our division-mate Cardinals get a tough home test against the Colts. I'm pulling for the Colts in that one.
Also, just a reminder that as always all times listed are pacific.
49ers @ Minnesota - Sunday 9/27 10:00am
Carolina @ Dallas - MNF 9/28 5:30pm
Indianapolis @ Arizona - SNF 9/27 5:20pm
Atlanta @ New England - Sunday 9/27 10:00am
Washington @ Detroit - Sunday 9/27 10:00am
Denver @ Oakland - Sunday 9/27 1:15pm
IMPORTANT NEW RULE
Up until now, folks have just posted their scores in any particular fashion, although howtheyscored has made requests for a specific format. Given the amount of time and effort howtheyscored has to put into determining the final results, I am implementing a requirement for how to format your scores (based on the spreadsheet howtheyscored has created). If you fail to follow this format, any incorrectly formatted scores for the week will be disqualified. The format is "Team A @ Team B: A score - B score." That basically is visitor @ home: visitor score - home score." Here's an example of how to do it:
Using Atlanta @ New England below, if you think New England will win 24-14, here's how it HAS to look:
Atlanta @ New England: 14 - 24
If you think Atlanta will win 24-14, it needs to appear as this:
Atlanta @ New England: 24 - 14
If you'd like you can bold the winner (Atlanta @ New England: 14 - 24), but that is not required (although probably a good backup in case you reversed the score by accident.
If you make a mistake in the formatting I'll reply to your score reminding you to correct it. To correct it, simply reply to your picks and post them in the correct format. Do not post your scores again at the bottom of the thread. I'll make sure and include these directions each week so people do not forgot and lose out on points. As I mentioned above, we're doing this to make howtheyscored's life easier in figuring out the scores. The # of regular commenters has increased dramatically since last season, so we're anticipating a greater # of prediction contest participants. While this is a new rule, I don't think it's all that difficult for folks to follow it.
If anybody has any questions at all about this, or anything related to the contest, let me know (ninersnation@gmail.com) and I'll answer them.

Going to be a Rough Week (up-sets galore)
49ers @ Minnesota – 23 – 20 (best game of the week! Keeping my fingers crossed)
Carolina @ Dallas – 31 – 26 (keeps my Cowgirls New Stadium curse in play)
Indianapolis @ Arizona – 21 – 24 (Indy is just not looking that good)
Atlanta @ New England – 23 – 20 (neither is N.E.)
Washington @ Detroit – 13 – 20 (would ruin my prediction of Detroit breaking the all time losing streak)
Denver @ Oakland – 18 – 20 (both teams suck, but can’t believe that Denver will be 3-0)

Attached
1. (SF-MIN) Favre is due for one of Favre’s infamous melt down’s as he doesn’t do well playing in the Metrodome and even though its a home opener game, a defensive TD is the difference in this one.
2. (CAR-DAL) If Dallas doesn’t pull this one off after last weeks embarrassing loss for the home opener, Jerry Jones hires a firing squad to take out the team starting with Romo
3. (IND-AZ) Peyton and the Colts will have the ball for more than 15 minutes.
4. (ATL-NE) Brady is going to throw it up to Moss for a few this week; Taylor and Galloway score the others. Brady is due for a Brady-like game ) the rust is off this week). I think Atlanta playing away will be out of sink and NE will have too much momentum in this one.
5. (WAS-DET) This is one of those “who cares” games, but I think Zorn just doesn’t have the mojo gion for this one. Rookie Stafford gets his first NFL win this week and Calvin Johnson has a big day.
6. (DEN- OAK) I think that Oakland’s D will be hungry, look for Seymour to have a nice game against a struggling Broncos offense. This will be much like the opening game against San Diego, only I see Oakland taking this one this week and handing the Miracle play Broncos thier first loss.

He always played in the Metrodome as an opponent
Some claim he doesn’t do well in domes. Here are the highlights from his last game at the Metrodome that he won. The Superbowl was in a dome as well.

Favre's last game against SF and career stats in the Metrodome
Against SF: 20/31 – 65% Comp – 137 yards – 4.4 per – 0 TD – 1 INT (Hardly stellar)
Career numbers in the Metrodome: 64% completion rate – 283.2 yards pg – .9 INT’s – 2.1 TD’s… (not as bad as I thought, but certainly not anything to sweat over).
Foot note: Favre’s longest pass this year was 21 yards which Percy Harvin caught at about 8 yards and racked up 13 yards on the YAC. I don’t see Favre bombing a 40 yarder in this one (at least in the air). I still think there’s doubt in his arm both by him and his coaches. I look for them to keep ’em short.

What adjustments did you run
for playing with a torn biceps tendon and for record as home versus away? Given the way he throws in practices and in the preseason, I doubt anyone worries about his arm.

I would if he was the Niners QB

oh I thought it had something to with your stat "analysis"
You know, the one that includes playing injured and as the visiting team rather than the home team. Did you look up Favre’s stats versus the 49ers?
Re the arm: Dr. James Andrews says not to worry and Favre says he feels fine.

I’d be more worried about Shaun Hill, who has intercepted 5% of his completions in 2008. (rounded up)

BOLD PREDICTION
Predicting the NFL will change the schedule, picking the 2 teams who get the de facto bye week, and picking the score correctly should be worth 100 points.

I see a lot of people picking Detroit this week...
I mean, sure, Washington played down to their opponent’s level against STL, but I don’t expect that to happen two weeks in a row.
Also, the Lions are still awful.
My pessimism goes to the point of suspecting the sincerity of the pessimists.

They are still awful and, really, I only even predicted them out of some completely irrational “they have to win eventually” sort of logic.
This is why I will no longer be in second place after these games are actually played.

At least with Detroit you have “They have to win sometime.” I don’t know how you can justify picking the Raiders, though.
As for Indy, I’ll take them in a shootout any day of the week, at least.

A lot of Analysts are picking Detroit too
I just don’t buy into the they only have a chance to win vs this team arguments analaysts make. I remember (sometime in the 90’s) when the 0-10 colts didn’t have a chance vs the Packers who were vying for Home field Advantage at the time. However the colts won a stunner (I remember it was high scoring game) for their first win of the season. I’m thinking Green Bay may have been un-beaten at the time, I just remember how much of an upset it was and how happy I was for it. Would be around the time we were having problems with Packers in the playoffs so always liked to watch them lose ;)

Good memory
’97 I believe. They were the first team ever to defeat the defending champion three straight years in the regular season.
Redskins have such a good defense but they don’t score points. That’s the main reason Detroit has a legit shot. But wouldn’t most Redskins players hear all that talk and be even more determined to not be the team that the losing streak ended against?

you WANT to pick Carolina?!
you would actually have the Cowboys lose at the expense of a 49ers draft pick position? there’s something wrong with your priorities when you hate your rivals worse than you like your own team. i hope i never have to say this again, but i will be rooting for the Dallas Cowshit this weekend.
I take full responsibility for my irresponsibility.

I’m always fine with a Dallas loss. However, if they do win, the draft pick does help to ease the sting.
Context, people. More context is good. Less context is bad. If you're willing to be reductive, then you're willing to be wrong.
