Remember that you are not forced to make a chioce on every game. If you have no opinion on a game or two, just leave them blank.

I am shocked at how many favorites are being picked this week.
The only road teams I took were Atlanta, Carolina & Houston.

You shouldn't be suprised that mostly favorites get picked. Maybe NoChance has a number on this one. Most of those voting are squares. The principal square kneejerk is picking favorite when given a pointspread line.

I took San Diego on the road, but I'm not playing it very heavy at all. I'm playing Carolina pretty heavy on the road though. Otherwise I'm feasting on all of the home dogs.

Yeah, I'd expect it from the general population but not from the voters here.

Re: NFL Week 9 Poll
 

I actually think *many* of the favorites have good value this week.
