July 22, 200520 yr With preseason games right around the corner, I figured that I'd ask about the NFL Picks & whether or not we're doing it again this year.
July 22, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 07:20 PM) NFC NORTH: Bears NFC EAST: Eagles NFC SOUTH: Falcons NFC WEST: Seahawks NFC WILD CARD: Vikings NFC WILD CARD: Rams AFC NORTH: Steelers AFC EAST: Patriots AFC SOUTH: Colts AFC WEST: Broncos AFC WILD CARD: Texans AFC WILD CARD: Chargers NFC Champion: Seahawks AFC Champion: Patriots Super Bowl Champion: Patriots Bears Record: 10-6
July 22, 200520 yr QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) i think the bears are good enough to win the division. It sucks. I don't trust the Vikings defense. As long as Grossman stays healthy than they have a good chance. They will be improved though. I like the Texans as a team that if everything falls into place they could go 9-7 and steal a wild card spot. I'm also not entirely sold on Drew Brees yet.
July 22, 200520 yr I wish I could say I'd handle it, cause I wanna, but I have a feeling I'd let everyone down ala last year.

However, this is a an inquiry into whether or not we'll be doing weekly picks this year. You pick a winner in every game, straight up. Day games are worth 1 point, Sunday night games are worth 2 points, and Monday night games are worth 3 points. Last year was a lot of fun, although most people would forget to post their picks for a particular week, and therefore were pretty much eliminated. It was basically a 5 man race between myself, knightni, danman, greasy, and cali.

Well, myself and someone else (DBAHO, perhaps) could tally everything up, check each other's numbers, and then send the figures to you for insertion on the website instead of you having to do everything solo.
July 22, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 07:41 PM) We need to do that pick a loser contest too. Definitely. I missed out on that last year.
July 22, 200520 yr I'll be happy to participate and whoop all your asses. I haven't done weekly NFL picks in a while, but I won my Mom a lot of money by making her pool picks from ages 10-18. I did win the Soxtalk College Football pickem last year, but I think that was basically because everyone gave up on it in the last couple weeks. I'd run a college football or college basketball one if there is enough interest. Edited July 22, 200520 yr by ZoomSlowik

July 22, 200520 yr QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Jul 22, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) Definitely. I missed out on that last year. That was a good time. Everybody was out in 6 or 7 weeks.

Yeah I helped Spiff won one week with some html stuff on those picks, so I'll help out again this season, since it's always good fun.
