Pigskin Pick em Week 1

Post by raffensg64 » Sun Aug 31, 2008 4:04 pm

Alright, fellas....it's that time of year again! Time for all to compete in our in-house football pool, have some fun, and maybe earn yourself some bragging rights (that's all you're gonna get, no money involved!). We'll list all games except Thursday night games, so folks have until Sunday to get their picks in. The tiebreaker is the MNF game, just pick the combined score and the closest wins. I don't anticipate a lot of tiebreakers this year simply because we're listing all games, whereas in the past we only used the 10 best. Here we go.....

Bengals @ Ravens
Jets @ Fins
Chiefs @ Pats
Texans @ Steelers
Jags @ Titans
Lions @ Falcons
Seahawks @ Bills
Bucs @ Saints
Rams @ Eagles
Cowboys @ Browns
Panthers @ Chargers
Cards @ 49ers
Bears @ Colts
Vikes @ Packers (MNF Tiebreaker)
Broncos @ Raiders (MNF)

My picks:
Ravens
Jets
Pats
Steelers
Jags
Lions
Bills
Saints
Eagles
Cowboys
Chargers
Cards
Colts
Vikings
Broncos

MNF Tiebreaker: Vikings 27, Packers 20, Total 47

Hey Shawn, get Week 2 for me, then maybe we can have someone else do Week 3 and so on, the rotation we talked about last year.

Good luck, gents!

Let me preface this by saying I do not follow football at all. I'll watch the Falcons and the GA Bulldogs and that's about it (out of loyalty more than anything).

So, having said that, here's my picks - expect me to fail epically in this hehe...


Bengals @ Ravens
Jets @ Fins
Chiefs @ Pats
Texans @ Steelers
Jags @ Titans
Lions @ Falcons
Seahawks @ Bills
Bucs @ Saints
Rams @ Eagles
Cowboys @ Browns
Panthers @ Chargers
Cards @ 49ers
Bears @ Colts
Vikes 17 @ Packers 10
Broncos @ Raiders (MNF)

I think you're all misguided picking the Vikes. Rodgers will do real well.

Alright, I'm a cheesehead in denial, and still love #4, but I stand by what I said. The Packers are going to do GREAT this year.

That's my only pick. :bounce:

I think the winner of the previous week should be responsible for kicking the next week off. That way we can keep this thing rolling. Just an idea.

What a wild week one! The Falcons cruised over the once-potent Lions, the Chargers were upset by the Panthers on the final play of the game, the Titans outlasted the Jags, and the Bears crushed the Colts at their new house. I am definitely looking forward to Week 2! It'll be a challenge!

Anyways.....it looks as though three of us, raffensg64, Ipodrodder, and Chris da Stupid made it into the MNF tiebreaker with 9 correct picks, pending the outcome of the Denver/Oakland game. Chris was eliminated when the Raiders lost. Ipodrodder picked 37 points and I picked 47 points in the MNF tiebreaker (Vikes @ Pack), giving me my first victory of the 2008 season when 43 points were scored. You guys are too gracious!

Stay posted for Week 2 games. Shawn should be posting them in the next couple days!

If you see any discrepancies in my scorekeeping, please give me a holler.

P.S. Any volunteers to post Week 3? If not, I'll get it!
Raff
