1. GIANTS: The loss to CLE is still unacceptable but the I can accept the loss to PHI |
 |
2. PANTHERS: must win vDEN because road trips @NYG and @NO are tough |
 |
3. TITANS: only giving up 2 TD’s a game but @HOU, vPIT, and @IND is a rough way into the playoffs |
 |
4. STEELERS: defense is 1st in points allowed, 1st in total yards, 1st in rushing against and 1st in passing against |
 |
5. COLTS: the quietest 6 game winning streak goes vDET and @JAX and will be 11-4 going to TEN |
 |
6. BUCS: how happy is Matt Ryan to face an upset Monte Kiffin defense |
 |
7. RAVENS: 2nd or 3rd in every defensive category and they’re vPIT next, anyone else see a 3-0 game |
 |
8. CARDINALS: if the defense starts scoring as well, this team is even scarier |
 |
9. FALCONS: I don’t know if they’re making the playoffs but that last game vSTL will come in handy |
 |
10. JETS: what a waste |
 |
11. COWBOYS: I’m the only one who thinks Romo is a winner…yes, even Jessica is doubting |
 |
12.PATRIOTS: for them to win the division despite two road games remaining |
 |
13. VIKINGS: look out for CHI, @AZ, vATL, vNYG is just too tough of a road to win a division |
 |
14. BEARS: since I’m the only one with the onions to say these things early, congratulations on your division championship |
 |
15. DOLPHINS: look at their schedule and then tell me who’s going to win the East |

 |
17. SAINTS: with 5 teams between them and the 6 seed, do I really need to write anything? |
 |
18. BRONCOS: they’ll lose @CAR and @SD if SD wins out, so vBUF is for the division |
 |
19.REDSKINS: : Hey Zorn, isn’t it amazing how Campbell played great when you were giving Portis the ball and he’s not now? |
 |
20. TEXANS: this team gets better every year just to become irrelevant in that division |
 |
21. BILLS: maybe you were confused by the whole punt on 3rd down thing |
 |
22. CHARGERS: @KC is easy but @TB while DEN is vBUF will ice the division…for DEN |
 |
23. 49ERS: same record as GB and they fired their coach |
 |
24. PACKERS: NFC Championship game with Brett, drafting in first hour of draft without him |
 |
25. BROWNS: this whole franchise is a waste of time |
 |
26. JAGUARS: I wonder if the players that have quit will quit cashing their check too? |
 |
27. CHIEFS: so Carl, without Marty or Vermeil, you’ve done nothing |
 |
28. SEAHAWKS: Is Jim Mora really going to make that much of a difference? |
 |
29. RAMS: this team has offensive weapons and is still terrible…meaning they’re 3 years away from competing |
 |
30. BENGALS: : it will be interesting to see how they do next year when the cancer is gone |
 |
31. RAIDERS: for the first time in my career, no e-mails from Raider nation for a whole week |
 |
32. LIONS: how’s your baseball team, your football team, your college football team?…at least the Wings are the #2 seed right now |

The top spot in both Doug and Wolf’s NFL Power Polls is in agreement. After that there is not a lot similarities between the two polls. The Titans finally lose a game, at home nonetheless, and Wolf keeps him right where he has had them for the past six weeks. Doug punished them a little bit more and likes both New York teams in his Power Poll. The guys, of course love to give their disagreements while talking about their Power Polls.

The Click Chick has moved into a tie for first place in Chick Picks. By next Monday she will be either be up a game or down a game as she was the only one to pick a road underdog this weekend. Wolf has dropped back two games while Doug is supposedly letting Gayle hang around.
Still disagreements and still no change at the top of the NFL Power Polls. The hometown Cardinals are on the outside lurking around as #1, or #2 depending on whose poll you look at, come visit the desert this Sunday. Next week’s polls are sure to be shook up. The week by week look at the polls can be seen here.

Chick Picks [21:06m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (184) Power Polls [4:38m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (178)The Click Chick joined Doug & Wolf to make the Chick Picks. The college game picked this week was a little off the wall. The Click Chick went against her alma mater, and she hopes her pick is wrong because of it. The NFL games had everyone taking the “Cheese Heads” but the Sunday night game had Doug ending up mad at Yoda because he didn’t like the game.
In Doug & Wolf’s Power Polls there wasn’t much change at the top because the top teams in the NFL keep winning, convincingly.

|
1. TITANS: : very difficult stretch before Thanksgiving but they give up only 11 points a game |
|
2. STEELERS: they’ve earned this spot but they’re about to lose it…injured team goes through vicious stretch vNYG, @WSH, vINDY, vSD |
|
3. GIANTS: 1st in rushing offense and 5th in rushing defense…the next break in the schedule is @ MIN and that’s after Christmas |
|
4. BUCS: every time I try to move this team down, they win…@DAL this week and I’m dying to know what that means |
|
5. PANTHERS: if they just would have shown up against TB the poll would be much easier…I don’t think anyone realizes the number one scoring offense in the NFL is coming (yea, it’s AZ) |
|
6. BILLS: every game they win just sticks me in the back when I knew to pick them as the AFC #6 seed and I choked |
|
7. REDSKINS: I’m not happy with a weak performance vCLE, only one more joke before MNF vPITT |
|
8. JAGUARS: just do what you’re supposed to do and you’re 6-3 (vCLE, @CIN, @DET) before your home showdown vTEN…suspensions drop them in the poll |
|
9. PATRIOTS: offense looked great against bad defense but I’m still shocked a Belichik led defense is allowing 313 a game |
|
10. CARDINALS: as the weeks go by, the BUF win will be bigger on paper than the DAL win…win @CAR and you’ve arrived |
|
11. COLTS: completely unacceptable for this team to be 32nd in rushing and to be embarrassed by GB before @TEN, vNE, @ PIT |
|
12. COWBOYS: and we all fall down |
|
13. EAGLES: after scoring 23 in the 4th v SF, finished with a brutal stretch to start the season at 3-3 and still have 5 games in the gift category remaining…only three teams average more points per game while the defense is up to 7th, this team ain’t bad |
|
14. CHARGERS: it’s really rather simple win in London and you’ll catch DEN in the West, lose and you won’t…it’s only your entire season |
|
15. JETS: both SD and DEN are on the East Coast so whoever handles road has leg up…DEN @ NE and SD on the East Coast of Lake Erie |
|
16. BRONCOS: remember when Marshall and Royal were all the rage after they both had 100 yard games in week 1 & 2?…they’ve had 1 combined ever since |
|
17. PACKERS: very impressive versus vINDY but the stats say you can’t run and you can’t stop the run, that says the beat down @TEN is coming |
|
18. FALCONS: big congratulations to this franchise for their 4-2 record, too bad they’ve only got two wins left |
|
19. BEARS: two bye weeks, one this week and one vDET next week…they’re not real good but no one else in the North is either, I think it’s Orton in the playoffs over Rogers |
|
20. RAVENS: in a four-way tie for the 6th seed which is good, tied with NYJ, INDY and JAX which is bad…BTW, AFC North plays the NFC East this year and BAL still has all four of those games left |
|
21. SAINTS: see number 14, just ignore the whole DEN part and concentrate on the “win in London” part and the “your entire season” part |
|
22. VIKINGS: you ever walk out of a meeting and think, “that was a waste of time?”…well it’s something like that |
|
23. RAMS: fire your coach, win two straight…get adjusted to your new head coach, lose 3 straight |
|
24. BROWNS: 30th in offensive scoring and yards…Winslow is just offensive |
|
25. DOLPHINS: if I pull off the prediction of a HOU 3 game winning streak, you’re taking me to Vegas |
|
26. RAIDERS: it’s not PC but since he won’t sell and he won’t relinquish control, this team will not succeed until Al Davis is dead (12 teams in a row from the west have lost the 1p ET game on the other coast, are you predicting OAK to end that?…me neither) |
|
27. TEXANS: if I pull off the prediction of a HOU 3 game winning streak, you’re taking me to Vegas |
|
28. 49ERS: Last week I wrote: I thought Tommy Bowden would last longer than Nolan…so I was only off by a week, I’d say that’s impressive |
|
29. CHIEFS: they’re actually worse than the bottom three but the W over DEN keeps them “high” |
|
30. SEAHAWKS: after watching SEA, WASU and UW this weekend, I now know why the Sonics left |
|
31. LIONS: ranked 22nd in passing yards, I didn’t think you cared but they’re worse than 27th in every other stat so I tried to find a positive |
|
32. BENGALS: have you ever seen a really ugly couple and thought, “I’m glad they found each other?” check out the last game on the Bengals schedule |
The Click Chick went with the Texas Longhorns and they prevailed against the Oklahoma Sooners at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday. All three of them took the Panthers and they didn’t even score a touchdown in Tampa Bay. She did take the Ravens who did not show up in Indianapolis Sunday afternoon. The Chick Picks this week have the Click Chick staying with those Texas Longhorns. And the pro game there is no difference. All three agree on home teams.
Once again Doug & Wolf’s NFL Power Polls have disagreements. Especially at the top of the poll. Doug didn’t even want Wolf to be able to finish the segment he was so dissapointed in Wolf’s choice.

1. TITANS: : stay focused @KC and then the big boy vINDY on Monday night |
|
2. STEELERS: how do you move up during a bye week?…when 1, 3, 4, 5, 8, and 10 all lose |
|
3. GIANTS: the division lost @CLE, vSTL, and @AZ just to show how good NE was last year…and yes, I recant on picking an ’07 and ‘08 6 game winning streak before it happens |
|
4. JAGUARS: enormous win @DEN, now relax through the 4 week bye (vCLE, @CIN, @DET) |
|
5. COLTS: they’re baaaack!…@GB is must win because you won’t have winning record against the next three after Lambeau (@TEN, vNE, @PIT) |
|
6. COWBOYS: remember those big slides at the fair that you went down in the potato sacks?…not only did STL keep WSH even with DAL but they also got their first win out of the way before hosting DAL |
|
7. BUCS: TB is not really that good but with the DAL slide underway, the schedule sets up great until after Thanksgiving…5th in scoring defense doesn’t hurt |
|
8. PANTHERS: it’s very simple, either their O-line gets healthy and they win the division or they won’t be able to control the clock vNO or protect vAZ |
|
9. CARDINALS: this team makes their debut in the power poll with win @CAR |
|
10. BILLS: so far West Coast teams fall apart for 10a West Coast time starts…BUF will need every advantage v hot SD |
|
11. CHARGERS:can not be understated the importance of winning one of @BUF or @NO…5 of last 8 @ home and one road game is @KC |
|
12. EAGLES: stats don’t make sense…6th in team defense but 12th in scoring defense, normally that means bad punting or high turnovers but their 3rd in net punt and 2nd in +/- (either they’re living a lie or they’re ready to break out, how’s that for analysis?) |
|
13. PATRIOTS: only in top half of rankings because of win @NYJ |
|
14. JETS: on a nice run but still only tied with NE and down the tie break…@OAK and vKC will push them into top 10 |
|
15. BRONCOS: both SD and DEN are on the East Coast so whoever handles road has leg up…DEN @ NE and SD on the East Coast of Lake Erie |
|
16. SAINTS: every week I praise them they lose and when I rip them they win…giving them no praise for beating OAK doesn’t matter because they’ll lose @ angry CAR either way |
|
17. PACKERS: it’s sad that winning @SEA doesn’t mean much…win vINDY and @TEN and they’ll shoot up the poll |
|
18. FALCONS: a wonderful story and season, too bad a 3 game losing streak is about to start |
|
19. BEARS: I don’t mind squib kicks but why not squib it down the middle? |
|
20. RAVENS: nothing new here…1st in total defense and rushing, 27th in scoring |
|
21. DOLPHINS: bad team with a lot of heart |
|
22. VIKINGS: how do you drop with a win?…beat DET by two when new QB runs out the back of the endzone on a boot leg |
|
23. BROWNS: even if you gave me three guesses who would win MNF |
|
24. 49ERS: I thought Tommy Bowden would last longer than Nolan |
|
25. TEXANS: vMIA, vDET and vCIN would be a 3 game winning streak for anyone else (I wrote this last week…could it really happen?) |
|
26. RAIDERS: it’s not PC but since he won’t sell and he won’t relinquish control, this team will not succeed until Al Davis is dead (every week I think there’s no way I could prove this statement as fact any more than I did the week before, only the part in parenthesis continually is proven wrong) |
|
27. CHIEFS: whoever gets Gonzalez goes to conference championship game |
|
28. SEAHAWKS: the offense has injuries to the WR’s, the defense has injuries to it’s cervix |
|
29. RAMS: simply unbelievable |
|
30. REDSKINS: you and I both know they don’t belong here but you have to endure a one week suspension after losing to the Rams |
|
31. LIONS: I’m embarrassed to admit this but I know just how Dan Orlovsky feels |
|
32. BENGALS: just remember all you AZ fans that think you have the worst owners, the last time the Bengals won a playoff game, their next game was against the Raiders…the LA Raiders…the LA Raiders and Bo Jackson |
Last week was a little rough for everyone on Chick Picks, no one went 3-1 let alone 4-0 (they added a bonus game because they all agreed on the first couple of games, looking back, someone should have went out on a limb and stood by themselves). This week Doug & Wolf caught up with the Click Chick and there are some differences of opinion in the Chick Picks. First, just out of spite, Wolf went against Doug. And then Doug agreed with Wolf on pick number two because, well, he picked this team to be 9-2 after Thanksgiving. The last game brought much trouble for Wolf, even changing his pick in the end. The Click Chick, she made her picks with her normal process of elimination while also making sure Wolf’s ego wasn’t damaged. She multi-tasked by picking games and getting ready for her TV show.
In Doug & Wolf’s NFL Power Poll they of course disagreed. Doug can’t believe that Wolf looks at the poll being correct in the long run but not getting changed on a weekly basis. Doug barely let Wolf talk when talking about teams four through two. Imagine this, those were the teams they disagreed on.
| Doug | Wolf |
| 1. Giants | 1. Giants |
| 2. Titans | 2. Cowboys |
| 3. Redskins | 3. Titans |

1. GIANTS: : Wow! Defense-2nd in points and passing, 6th v rush…Offense 1st in points, yards, rushing…Team @CLE and vSF (now do you know why I picked a 6 game winning streak? |
|
2. TITANS: two bye weeks…one at home this week and one at KC next week |
|
3. REDSKINS: you proved you’re one of the best teams in the game, now don’t let up with the joke part of the schedule here (vSTL, vCLE, @DET) |
|
4. COWBOYS: one of those “big games” if you lose vAZ and get no credit if you win |
|
5. PANTHERS: the next three games (@TB, vNO, vAZ) will prove if CAR is good |
|
6. STEELERS: I hate putting PIT ahead of PHI but winning @JAX was huge |
|
7. BILLS: would have stayed in the power poll if they could have made it closer v AZ and now BUF hosts SD—who’s looking to save their season—after bye |
|
8. BRONCOS: first time DEN punched someone in the mouth…might make power poll if they beat JAX |
|
9. BUCS: this offense is a joke |
|
10. BEARS: only Chicago team playing in October…suddenly @ATL is a real game |
|
11. EAGLES:One of the better teams in the NFL…worst team in the NFC East |
|
12. PATRIOTS: enormous game @SD…loser might miss playoffs |
|
13. JETS: need to get to 6-3 before vicious stretch @NE, @TEN vDEN |
|
14. CARDINALS: I see this team hosting a playoff game |
|
15. RAVENS: will make the playoffs if they win @INDY, won’t if they don’t |
|
16. JAGUARS: need to decide if they’re a contender or not…@DEN is a good place to start |
|
17. COLTS: BAL is a great opponent to prove the offense accomplished anything during the bye |
|
18. DOLPHINS: first time in three years they go into a game knowing they’re the better team…how’s that taste HOU? |
|
19. FALCONS: I didn’t think MIA or ATL would be .500 after Labor Day…do you have the guts to guarantee a loss vCHI or @PHI? Neither do I |
|
20. VIKINGS: OK, once and for all, is this a good team or not? |
|
21. CHARGERS: it’s such a simple question, do you want to save your season vNE or hand the division to DEN |
|
22. SAINTS: my HS JV basketball coach used to say, “Don’t piss down your leg, seize opportunity”…I think NO needs his number |
|
23. PACKERS: truth is Rogers played a good game but Brett threw for 6 TD’s last week and GB lost vATL this week |
|
24. 49ERS: with two straight NFC East games, I don’t need to waste anymore time here |
|
25. TEXANS: vMIA, vDET and vCIN would be a 3 game winning streak for anyone else |
|
26. RAIDERS: it’s not PC but since he won’t sell and he won’t relinquish control, this team will not succeed until Al Davis is dead (the existence of this team is a black mark on the NFL) |
|
27. CHIEFS: the only positive thing to say about this organization is the fans |
|
28. SEAHAWKS: do you realize Holmgren would have been a HOFer with a good season and now he’s just out? |
|
29. BROWNS: lost again (really they didn’t I’m just getting a head start on next week’s poll) |
|
30. BENGALS: so how many teams are going to be lining up to sign Marvin Lewis next year? |
|
31. LIONS: some teams feel like they have to prove it’s not their fault after a coach or GM gets fired and the players play hard…the Lions’ players don’t subscribe to this philosophy |
|
32. RAMS: OK, tell me the truth, did you take bye plus the points? |
