One bumping – we’ll be closing this out this afternoon at some point before kickoff. I’m also going to take this opportunity to change my pick…I’ve reconsidered the Steelers’ chances, and will now be going with the Manning Bowl: Giants over the Colts, 24-17 ---

\*\*Giants \*\*30 over Colts 24 Fox will be incredibly happy over-playing the Manning Bowl. This will be the only downside. ---

Well, I guess **rexnervous** and **Stratocaster** can fight over my spot. Stupid no-LT bolts with their ridiculously impressive backup RB. On the plus side, now there is no chance that we will be forced to endure 2 weeks of Manning Bowl bruhaha. ---

I would complain my prediction didn’t make it up there either… but my precious Manning bowl choice got knocked out… Maybe my hopes of a Ravens/giants bowl still continues? ☹ ---
