6-2, 5 wins in a row, woooooo!
And yet all I hear about is lackluster Cam Newton.

TOP-10
Bookworm-9
Ryder-8
Steehl-8
AE-7
SWA-7
KF-5
I believe these are correct. The only way Bookworm has a chance to tie is to change his pick to the Eagles. He will still lose of course. (Bear Down!) Top wins! (Well unless Bookworm changes his pick. And for some reason Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs and Matt Forte get hurt. So I think it is safe.)

Well, I was hoping to have three issue free weeks in a row, but unfortunately it didn’t work out. I saw two things yesterday. Instead of calls officials got wrong, these were both calls officials didn’t make. I’m not sure which kind angers me more.
In the Packers/Chargers game, there was one play I saw where a defensive San Diego player was lined up nearly a yard over the line of scrimmage when the ball was snapped and somehow there was no offsides flag thrown. I really don’t know how he got away with that, it wasn’t like he was just a little over, he was way over.
And in the Ravens/Steelers game, Ray Lewis made a clearly helmet to helmet hit on Hines Ward, but no flag was thrown. But a little while later, they flagged the Steelers for the exact same thing. Actually, it wasn’t the same. It was another helmet to helmet, but this one was clearly an accident. In cases like this, accident or not you throw the flag. That’s not the problem. The problem is the Lewis one wasn’t an accident, and it even took Ward out of the game. How can you call one but not the other?

Just to be fair the Ravens should be taken out of AFC North, maybe the Steelers as well.

So will Bookworm change his pick to the Eagles so there is some excitement? Can't hurt you Bookworm. If Bookworm does change it make yer tie-breaking picks.

I’m not changing. These are the picks I make for my real life pool, which I can’t change even if I wanted to.

Oook. But then you can't win.

I haven’t won lots of times. I’m still tuning my picking strategy. The last two weeks in a row I’ve lost on the tiebreaker in my real life pool.

Da Bears are going to win. And once they do they win the next 5 and are 11-3 going into Christmas. Even if they do lose this game and to the Packers on Christmas. We still have 11 wins. Playoffs!

He has impressive stats, sure, but I'm tired of hearing he is the greatest rookie of the season when his actual win record (you know, the one that matters) is 2-6, and ANDY "RED RIFLE" DALTON is 6-2 and barely gets any credit for having two more wins at the HALF WAY POINT of the season then veteran Carson Palmer could get in the entire season last year.

Yeah I somewhat agree Top. But don't for two reasons. 1 Carson Palmer had to deal with Chad and T.O. You don't wish that on your worst enemy. 2 Cam is beasting for my ToO fantasy team.

I agree sort of, one of the key reasons that the Bengals are winning is their 4th ranked defense. Another reason why Cam Newton is so popular, because he is shattering rookie stats. Also at least stat was he is like the 3rd best QB. By wins then he is no where near the top and Alex Smith is second.
