IDYFT NFL Pick'em: Week Ten

With my Maritime Metaphor run aground on the quixotic coral of the 2010 NFL season, perhaps it's best to find dry land. It could offer a chance for a round of miniature golf, this shoreline before me.

A few got the bonus question of the highest combined score: 52, by both Houston/Chargers and Packers/Cowballs. Hilariously, Green Bay almost took it by themselves.

We'll be trying out a new schadenfreude-flavored bonus question, in honor of Wade Phillips, wherein you pick the biggest suck loser in the NFC and AFC for +2 each. Nail them both for an extra +3 bonus. It's called Son of a Bum.

Standings
1. Ryan: 31 pts (+6)
2. Jess: 30 pts (+9)
3. Adw: 27 pts (+4)
4. Lefnut: 21 pts (+2)
5. Big BM: 20 pts (+2)
6. MuMan: 19 pts (+4)
7. Barnyard: 17 pts
8. Greg A: 16 pts
9. Miwcar: 13 pts (+4)
10. Josh: 7 pts

Week Ten
1. Your Big Shoe-In? (+2/-4)

2. Your Little Shoe-In? (+1/-2)

3. Surprise! This week's underdog list: (+3)
Buffaloaf, Dallas, Carolina, Cincinasty

4. Your Favorite Team Wins/Most Disliked Team Loses? (+1)

5. Clash of the Titans: (+/-2) New England Patriots at Pittsburgh Steelers

Bonus Questions +2
6. Which game will have the lowest combined score?
7. Son of a Bum: pick the biggest loser in the AFC
8. Son of a Bum: pick the biggest loser in the NFC

Define "biggest suck loser".

Literally, the team that loses by the largest margin.

Figuratively, I mean the Cowboys and all their ilk.

Ok, because if I was asked to define the biggest suck loser college football last week, I'd pick Colorado. They blew a 28 point lead with 11 minutes remaining in the game. They allowed 35 unanswered points in the final 11 minutes: now that's what I call big suck!
