I'm crushed! After two good NFL weeks of accurate game picks (10-4 and 11-3, with 8 games where I actually picked the correct point-spread and 3 games where I actually picked the correct SCORE!), I have been blown away. I lost 5 games so far, with the Monday night one still to go. I still have faith that Seattle won't let me down (and drop me to 8-6). Two nice things did happen this week, though. 1) I correctly picked all of the Big Ten winners (not so difficult, in retro- spect). 2) My favorite team, the Chicago Bears, continued their winning ways. I find it interesting that seven unbeaten teams entered this third week, and only two will walk out of it (Chicago and the winner of Monday night). This could be a very close year all around. Go, Seattle (my early pick for Super Bowl winner. I may have been premature, as they don't look as good as I thought, but the season is still early)!!! Robert A. Ekblaw
