Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome to the Annual NFL Guild Pick of the Week 2011. We will be selecting the winners from 5 NFL games. After you have selected the winning team your choice is final. You must post the teams you are selecting here. Do not PM me your choices. If you don't post here who you are selecting I won't know. Remember that this guild event is free. We will keep a record of your wins and the person with the most wins or perhaps win percentage not only gets the bragging rights, but 5000 gold. Or maybe more if I can actually access the guild account...

The NFL Guild Pick of the Week will be closed 30 minutes before kickoff of the first game.

After last weeks picks I went up to give Nyuupyon a handshake at mid field, but she untucked her shirt, shook my hand too hard then slapped me in the back with brutal force. What is with Handshakes now a days? Anyways, on with the picks.

Chicago at Tampa Bay- No better way for the Bucs to bounce back than with a huge win over division rival New Orleans Saints. With a win over the Saints and Falcons the Bucs are back in first place of the South after suffering a humiliating loss the week before. Chicago sits comfortably in 3rd place in the NFC North. Which is where they will most likely remain for the rest of the season.
WINNER- TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS

Denver at Miami- The Tim Tebow Era finally kicks off! With a bye last week to help him prepare, and the 0-5 Dolphins coming off a brutal Monday night game against the Jets, I think this is the ideal game to bring Tebow in and see what he's made of. Still not completely sold on this guy being the future in Denver, but he's better than Orton right now, and I think he can rattle off a couple of wins before the season is out.
WINNER- DENVER BRONCOS

San Diego at N.Y. Jets- It was ugly, but the Jets won and got back into the thick of things in the AFC East. San Diego is 4-1 and coming off a bye week. But this team isn't nearly as good as their record says. Of the teams with only 1 loss or better, the Chargers have defeated teams with a combined 9-17 record (.346 winning percentage. Worst among the teams who qualify.) I think the Chargers season is about to make a turn for the worst.
WINNER- N.Y. JETS

Indianapolis at New Orleans- A Superbowl rematch! But one with much much much less spunk. Manning is out, the Colts are a disappointing 0-6. Painter to Garcon is a good/fun QB to WR combo to watch. But this franchise is looking at a rebuilding year after this season is done. And it may be led by a new Head coach, and maybe Andrew Luck on the Roster
WINNER- NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

Baltimore at Jacksonville- What can I say? The Ravens are hot and a top contender in the AFC, the Jaguars... See Indianapolis above. I give much credit to Blaine Gabbert and his play. He's had at least 1 TD pass in his last 4 games, and looking at his supporting cast that's saying something. I just feel sorry for the poor kid and what he will most likely suffer from while dealing with the Ravens Defense.
WINNER- BALTIMORE RAVENS
