Rules copied from Shin.


The rules are simple.

1) Each week, pick one NFL team who you believe will win their game. If they win, you get a point, if they lose you get diddly-squat.

2) The catch: You may NOT pick that same team again for the rest of the season.

3) You do not have to make your picks for the entire season - this is a week by week game. You can place your pick by posting the team name on thread as long as they have not played yet. Even if you wait until Monday morning, you can still take your chances on the Monday Night game.



Also, even if you come to the game late, you can still put your name on the leaderboard! Join in whenever. There are 17 weeks of action, and in the past even people leading the game have forgotten to make picks, gotten 3 in a row wrong, etc, so you never know.

NEW - In the event of a tie, the person who submitted a pick in the most number of weeks wins. (This only applies if the number of weeks participated is not the same.)

NEW(DOUBLE UP): TWICE THIS SEASON YOU MAY OPT TO CHOOSE TWO TEAMS FOR THAT WEEK, INSTEAD OF ONE. IF BOTH PICKS WIN, YOU GET TWO POINTS INSTEAD OF ONE. YOU GET ZERO POINTS IF ONLY ONE PICK WINS. YOU GET LAUGHED AT IF NEITHER PICK WINS.

NEW(MULLIGAN): ONCE THIS SEASON YOU CAN OPT TO REUSE ANY TEAM YOU PICKED TO WIN BUT LOST. THE MULLIGAN ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE YOUR NORMAL WEEKS PICK PLUS REUSING A PREVIOUS LOSING PICK. YOU GET ONE POINT PER CORRECT PICK. THERE IS NO PENALTY FOR NOT GETTING BOTH RIGHT AS IN DOUBLE UP. FOR EXAMPLE, DURING WEEK 6 YOU CHOOSE THE PATRIOTS AS YOUR STANDARD PICK. MULLIGAN LET'S YOU REUSE THE PACKERS YOU PICKED TO WIN DURING WEEK 1 BUT LOST.

NEW(CATCH UP): DURING WEEK 11 ONLY YOU MAY PICK THREE TEAMS FROM YOUR CURRENT UNPICKED LIST FOR THAT WEEK AND GET ONE POINT FOR EACH CORRECT PICK BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE 4 POINTS OR LESS AFTER WEEK 10.

BLACKBALL REMOVED.

If you guys can, try to bold your picks and include the week it's for.

For example -

Blah blah blah. I think so and so is very gud at foooseball.
Blah blah
week 1, Rough Riders

More blah blah blah.

It makes it easier to spot picks.

Yeah. That was nuts. Instead, we have every single person with correct picks, including 2 points for 12 and I for using one of our seasonal <double up>. Braven was the only one to pick wrong, with the Steelers losing to Tennessee.


WEEK 1 RESULTS
12 gets 2 points for Rams/Colts.
Brujah 2 points for Pats/Colts.
Ben, Tatts, Stalker 1 point for Pats.
Tapper, Vengy, Franco 1 point for Colts.
Daser 1 point for Rams.
Braven 0 points for Steelers.


Before I edit the original post, everyone please note that the last edit was at 10am EST, therefore before games began on Sunday. I didn't realize I had only edited in my picks, and didn't post them in a seperate post.

Will edit in points tomorrow. But for now.


Brujah and 12 : 2-0
Tapper, Tatts, Vengy, Franco, Daser, Ben, and Stalker : 1-0
Braven : 0-1

I don't feel good about using my other double up just yet. I'm not feeling many of these picks but as I picked this team to make the playoffs I will go with

Baltimore
I don't know what I'm doing but it sounds good.

I want to go against the grain this week. I have a list of 12 teams I think will win this week, some by bigger margins. Some by smaller margins.

The Eagles for me, please.

Tough week. I checked for any surefire way to use my double, but apart perhaps from lining up NE as my second choice there's nothing much out there that I'd bet 2 points on.
