Colts Authority NFL Picks Challenge: Beat the Writers
Hello Colts Fans, thanks for stopping by. We are bringing back the NFL Picks Challenge this week, and we want to see your picks. Are you ready to take us on?
Last week, the staff members fared very well picking games with records ranging from 7-7 to 11-3, and top bragging rights going to Josh Boeke, and Marcus Dugan (yay, me). The highest score among readers was “gizzardfanny,” with a very respectable 9-5 record.
There are some intriguing match-ups around the league this week (not the least of which is Colts at Jets), with very few games that look like a lock. So, if you have what it takes – or if you just want something to do, get into the comments, and let your football prediction skills shine. You could win…well, I don't have a prize budget, but you could win the right to brag about winning, or to do a Donald Brown victory dance.
Of course, you can leave out your Thursday Night winner, as the Titans have already finished proving that anyone can win on any given...Thursday. That also gives you a leg up on the writers, since we ALL picked Pittsburgh.
Here's a quick chart of how the staff did last week, and who everyone picked for Week 6. We're still waiting on, ahem, someone.

Here is a list of the Week 6 games if you need a point of reference. You can type your picks in the comments or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. , whatever works best for you.

PIT at TEN Well we all know how this one ended. Hats off to Hasselbeck and the Titans. |
|
DAL at BAL Flacco is coming off an ugly game, but has had a good season. Then there's that defense. |
|
CIN at CLE Brandon Weeden. Period. |
|
STL at MIA The Rams had a nice win with very little offense last week. Can they win like that on the road? |
|
IND at NYJ Sanchez, Tebow, Sanchez...As Ted Marchibroda used to say, "I like our guy." Go Colts. |
|
OAK at ATL The Raiders' have beaten Pittsburgh, but good luck stopping Atlanta. |
|
DET at PHI Philly has struggled. The Lions have really struggled. Get ready for turnovers. |
|
KC at TB Believe it or not, it's not Vick and the Eagles who lead the league in turnovers, it's the Chiefs. |
|
BUF at ARI Arizona had trouble on offense last week, but the Bills aren't playing much defense in 2012. |
|
NE at SEA Seattle is good, and they're at home. But they're playing the Patriots. |
|
NYG at SF NFC Championship re-match. Eli(te) versus Smith. |
|
MIN at WAS One of these teams has been tough on defense. The other is the Washington Redskins. |
|
GB at HOU Remember when the Texans were awful? I guess nothing lasts for ever. |
| DEN at SD 101 rating, 1,499 yds, 11 TDs and 3 INTs. 2-3 record. One of these things doesn't match. |
Good Luck choosing your Week 6 winners, and have an awesome weekend.

@gizzardfanny I can't blame anyone for being biased against the Patriots (I don't even like capitalizing their team name). Even so, I couldn't help picking them. I'll still be hoping for an upset by the Seahawks.
