14 of 16 Home Teams won this weekend...

Crazy. According to Sabermetric research, home-field advantage is often due to easily swayed referees and overall referee bias. Add into the mix a group of average schmoes, and bam - 14 of 16 home teams win.

Just a theory, but an interesting one. If this needs to be moved, my apologies.

Well, I don't know if we were the victims of some sort of bad-reffing home-town thing, but I do think it's significant to note that we have had to open with two road games. Against two dome teams on artificial turf. I for one am glad to see our boys back on natural grass and am anxious to see Bob in front of the home crowd.

There are times when it's gone the other way, too.

He's going to love it.
I can't wait to cheer for him

Well I certainly would have been better off picking all home teams (or even flipping a coin for that matter) than I was with my own picks in the NFL Pick'em.

I was only one game better than you this week at 9-7, so I would have too. Crazy week! Let's hope the trend continues this week...

I was really disappointed in the Ravens. With all the Eagles' injuries, Baltimore should have been able to win this game.

Again Flacco comes up short.

Refs took away a TD for a very ticky-tack offensive PI call. I don't think the real refs would have called it...
