So last week wasn't our greatest week. Clark's 11-5 record led the way, but Miniaci and his 6-10 week pulled us down to 55-41 (57 percent) on the week. Ouch. That puts us at 123-69 (64 percent) on the season. Still better than Clark's final grade in Math 22, but not good enough. Give us a break though. Early season picks are hard because you never really know how good anyone is. You can't tell us you really thought the Bengals were going to beat the Packers. Can you? No excuses though. We don't do that here. Let's get to the picks...

Clark (21-11)

Ravens over Browns, Redskins over Lions (settle down Rorabaugh), Texans over Jaguars, Falcons over Patriots, Packers over Rams, Giants over Bucs, Jets over Titans (welcome to 2009 Tennessee fans), Eagles over Chiefs, Vikings over 49ers, Saints over Bills, Bears over Seahawks, Steelers over Bengals, Raiders over Broncos, Dolphins over Chargers, Cardinals over Colts, Cowboys over Panthers

Miniaci (18-14)

Ravens over Browns, Redskins over Lions, Texans over Jags, Falcons over Pats, Packers over Rams, Giants over Bucs, Titans over Jets, Eagles over Chiefs, Vikings over Niners, Saints over Bills, Seahawks over Bears, Steelers over Bengals, Broncos over Raiders, Chargers over Dolphins, Colts over Cardinals, Cowboys over Panthers

Rorabaugh (22-10)

Ravens over Browns, Lions over Redskins (That's right, I said it.), Texans over Jaguars, Patriots over Falcons, Packers over Rams, Giants over Bucs, Titans over Jets, Eagles over Chiefs (only because the Chiefs REALLY suck), Vikings over 49ers, Saints over Bills, Bears over Seahawks, Steelers over Bengals, Broncos over Raiders, Chargers over Dolphins, Colts over Cardinals, Cowboys over Panthers (damnit)

Oplinger (18-14)

Ravens over Browns, Redskins over Lions, Texans over Jaguars, Patriots over Falcons, Packers over Rams, Buccaneers over Giants, Titans over Jets, Eagles over Chiefs, Vikings over 49ers, Saints over Bills, Bears over Seahawks, Bengals over Steelers, Denver over Oakland, Dolphins over Chargers, Cardinals over Colts, Cowboys over Panthers

Gentile (24-8)

Redskins over Lions, Packers over Rams, Vikings over 49ers, Patriots over Falcons, Jets over Titans, Eagles over Chiefs, Giants over Bucs, Ravens over Browns, Texans over Jags, Bears over Seahwaks, Saints over Bills, Steelers over Bengals, Raiders over Broncos, Chargers over Dolphins, Cowboys over Panthers

Rung (18-14)

Redskins over Lions, Packers over Rams, Vikings over Packers, Jets over Titans, Patriots over Falcons, Chiefs over Eagles, Giants over Bucs, Ravens over Browns, Texans over Jaguars, Bills over Saints, Bears over Seahawks, Dolphins over Chargers, Steelers over Bengals, Raiders over Broncos, Colts over Cardinals, Cowboys over Panthers

The Roster

Mug

Dave Miniaci is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports chief. He has previously been sports night chief and a sports copy editor. He has also covered men's rugby, men's track and field and field hockey. He is from New Jersey and is a big Devils fan and proud of both, and he doesn't care if you hold that against him.


Mug

Adam Clark is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports editor. He previously covered fraternity and sorority life, crime and courts and was the Collegian's summer 2009 news/sports editor. His favorite athlete died on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 and his favorite football team is coming off the worst six-year stretch in NFL history. He does hold it against Dave Miniaci that he's from New Jersey.


Mug

Dan Rorabaugh is a senior majoring in sports journalism and minoring in English. He is the sports copy desk chief, and was previously a reporter for the men's rugby, men's cross country, men's volleyball, women's soccer, women's basketball and men's lacrosse teams. Last year, the impossible dream happened - one of his favorite teams, the Phillies, won a championship. Now if only the Eagles could catch some of that magic, he might be able to actually find peace with sports.


Mug

Michael Oplinger is a junior majoring in media studies and political science and the Collegian's assistant sports copy desk chief. He previously covered the men's tennis and men's volleyball teams. Even though he enjoyed the Phillies' World Series victory, he misses the days of Jose Mesa and David Bell.


Mug

Eddie Gentile is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in history. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's tennis team, the Lady Icers and the Penn State baseball team. Gentile is your stereotypical Philly fan - he considers every game a loss until they actually win... and even then he'll probably still be moaning. Go birds.


Mug

David Rung is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in kinesiology. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's swimming team and the men's rugby team. Rung isn't as die hard about pro sports as his sports staff brethren from Philly and Pittsburgh, but he does take pride in being a Red Sox fan before the bandwagon started.
