Quote:Sammy,   what capped off the week of picks for me is that I changed my pick from Indianapolis to Houston a few hours before the game.     My hunch  proved correct for much of the evening.     From a Colts standpoint,   I was concerned that the team would have difficulty adjusting to the loss of Reggie Wayne.    Also,   the Texans were in desperation mode.    The one thing I should have made a point of emphasis is Andrew Luck's ability to make comebacks,    even when his team is being outplayed significantly.     I saw this first hand last December when the Colts came back from 12 down to win on the road in Detroit.        This is a QB that clearly elevates his team to much greater heights.         I think Luck has reached the point that he's already a top 5 NFL QB.   

 

I think I had the Colts low, and it would have been lower, but you can't put them all in the #1 spot, and then I think I had Green Bay high. That was one impossible week of picks.

 

I recall that Detroit game well, and the finish was a little comical in a way ... IIRC The go ahead Colts touchdown was Luck throwing it to TY Hilton, and then nearly beating him into the endzone. (Psst, I just knew the Colts would lose that Detroit game ... somehow they didn't, and it was every bit as exciting as I feared it would be)

 

I bought a TY Hilton jersey last year before he became popular. Had to go to NFL.com because it wasn't mass produced or sold locally. NFL.com didn't even have the upper models, they only had the $100.00 one. He just may be able to make a difference with all playmakers the Colts were counting on being on IR ... I really hated to see Reggie go down, but it happens to so many guys. I wouldn't doubt that one of these days every player will be required to wear knee braces.

 

I haven't looked at this weeks games, probably get it overwith tonight.
