The Redskin Report

It’s that time of week again, where yours truly comes in and gives the TRR Props and Kudo awards for this weeks winners in the Pigskin Pick’em Contest.  As you might guess, the mood in Redskin land is much better than it was this time last week… with an excellent defensive performance, and a very decent (mostly….) offensive performance, the Redskins have defeated the New Orleans Saints (wow, who would have thought a decade ago that that would be a big win?).  So on to the Props!

There will be no Season Props this week; next week, we’ll begin giving out Season Props based on two full “keeper” weeks.  That said, it always pays to have your worst week still be decent, so don’t forget to make your picks!  This week, the Weekly Props go to Fletchskins and the appropriately named Chris Horton Hears a Who, who managed to pick up an astounding 12 points.  Following that up with 11 picks were We Want Dallas (our first yearly winner), coooooley, TheDudesRug, and Pizzatown.  Keep in mind that there were supposed to be 16 games this week… only 15 were played, with the Colts-Titans game rescheduled for later in the season.  That means we’ll have two other 15 week games that will replace two 14 week games.  So 12 of 15 is pretty astounding!  If only I had gone with our beloved ‘Skins this week and had faith!

 The Upset Pick of the Week game is San Francisco edging out Seattle in an early NFC West division game.  With San Fancisco being somewhat less than respectable the last few years, and the Seahawks being a very … well, medicro, but above average for the NFC West team, I figured the Seahawks had this game… but who knew?  Well, Fletchskins, TheDudesRug, TheDeadskins (um, what???), Terps4Life, The Shutdown Corners, and Veretax’s Picks knew, that’s who! (Who?  Is Chris Horton catching ANOTHER interception?)  At any rate, Props to them for the prescient prognosticating prowess that propelled them to pontificatedly pick San Francisco… yeah, in my mind I heard the voice of Don King do that line.

As I said, next week we begin Season Props… and the only way to get those is to pick!  So, get in it to win it, and make your picks soon.  Hail, Redskins, lets pluck the Cards next!
