I think my record making Falcons picks speaks for itself.

Actually not keeping a tally. I think I've made about 6-8 predictions and been wrong once. Perhaps someone who is following the selections will know; otherwise, you can use the search function.

By the way, my view is getting stronger as the week progresses. Vick is definitely playing (and its even possible their backup DT Lake, who dislocated a shoulder last week, may play). And the Bears are more beat up than I thought. They may be missing their starting right guard and a starting linebacker, in addition to their top 3 safeties. Atlanta should be favored in this game. More on the injury situation later.

No thanks, I figured you might know.

Sygamel, since you're a supporter, do you happen to know off-hand?

Well you've just made the often faulty NFL wagering assumption that a player who starts a game (Vick) is healthy enough to play well throughout and/or even survive the full 60 minutes.

I wasn't trying to be a smart ass if thats how it came out. Actually, by looking at some of my old posts, you'll not only see how I've picked but begin to get a sense of my rationale. I may just be getting lucky, ut I think I'm pretty good as assessing this team and its matchups.

Re: Falcons @ Bears: Opportunity Knocks
 

I wasn't trying to question the validity of your picks or your analysis, nor did I think you were being a smartass, I was just asking if you had an overall tally of how you were doing with your picks this year. No more, no less.

Ok...Sounds good.

Another factor I forgot to mention (and this one has 2 caveats). DeAngelo Hall is returning punts now for the Falcons. He's a little inexperienced in the pros at this (although he was an phenomenal college punt returner), but he looks like he may break a big one every time he catches one with any kind of room. Don't be surprised to see special teams play a big role in this game and Atlanta, under Joe Decamilis, is frequently one of the best in the business. Caveats are these: I don't know jack about the Bears punter and punt coverage; and despite the general good quality of the Falcons kicking and punting units, the punt return teams get a ridiculous number of block in the back and holding penalties (which obviously would neutralize any big Hall returns).

I guess my point is: watch DeAngelo this Sunday -- he's a difference maker.

If I recall correctly, I'm personally 0-2 on betting your Falcons picks.
