New England Patriots

2. Cincinnati Bengals

Wk2 - New England Patriots

2. New England Patriots

New York Football Giants

That's 10 out of 13 who have put in their picks for week 2. :D

Cincinnati Bengals.

Week 1. Houston Texans
Week 2. Cincinnati Bengals

Just so I can get this all on one page:

Arky: PHI, CIN
Barrett: HOU, NE
Chuck: HOU, CIN
Foo'ball: HOU, CIN
HPFBob: CHI, NE
Keith: HOU, NYG
Machoneil: HOU, NE
NConroe: HOU, CIN
Painekiller: HOU, WSH
Popanot: HOU, NE
TheMatrix31: NE, ???
Warren: HOU, NE
WMH: HOU, NYG

So, there's a little more diversity this week. Still waiting on Matrix31 to chime in.

There sure are a lot of surprizibg scores this weekend. Makes things interesting.

I mean who could have possibly picked Phoenix to be 2-0.

Well, Week 2 sure thinned out the herd and if the Giants had not made a furious comeback, it would have been worse.

Barrett, HPFBob, Machoneil, Painekiller, Popanot and Warren are out.
The Matrix31 didn't make a selection but I suppose there's still time to pick the SNF or MNF game.

There could be only six survivors this week.

If my jinx beat the Patriots this year, that's not a bad way out.

Next week will be a tough one, too.

Wk 1 - Texans
Wk 2 - Giants (whew....)
Wk 3 - New Orleans Saints

Busy night last night but with seven players out, we're now down to just six:

Arky: PHI, CIN
Chuck: HOU, CIN
Foo'ball: HOU, CIN
Keith: HOU, NYG
NConroe: HOU, CIN
WMH: HOU, NYG

Week 1. Houston Texans
Week 2. Cincinnati Bengals
Week 3. New Orleans Saints

1. Philadelphia Eagles
2. Cincinnati Bengals

Now, we just need to hear from Chuck (one of the few times I'll say that).

Week 1. Houston Texans
Week 2. Cincinnati Bengals
Week 3. Da Bearss

For week 3 I'll go with the...oh wait...

That's right. I couldn't even last until week 3.

This is why we love the NFL.

Its also why I stopped gambling....... :rolleyes:

I'm in the same boat, I seem to go out in the 1st or 2nd week every year. Dang it.

That is why I do not bet.

Ya, what should happen and what actually ends up happening can be two different things (understatement alert).

If you can just pick winners straight up at a 2:1 ratio, that is very good. For example, on any given week, if you can pick correctly 10 or 11 of 16 games, that is very good. Anything less, not so hot. Picking spread winners is that much tougher.

New England (1-1) vs. Baltimore (1-1) - one of these teams is going to be 1-2 on Monday morning. Who'dve thunk it?

Cleveland, Tennessee, Jacksonville, KC, New Orleans and Oakland could be 0-3 on Monday morning. At least a couple of these teams aren't that bad..... but a slump can happen even at the start of a season.

I'm seeing several potential upsets this week.... Arizona (at home) could very well beat Philly, Seattle (at home) could beat Green Bay on MNF - wouldn't surprise me at all...

I think Seattle has a very real chance to win that game.

My father always said the dog at home on Monday Night Football was a good bet.

Yep. It used to be just about a lock until the books got wise to it. It doesn't hit at such a high rate anymore....

Well he passed 16 years ago and I am not a gambler, so most of my exposure to picking teams against the line is very old indeed. :D

Un-freaking believable.

If Steelers lose to Raiders then Chuck might win this in week 3.

Some very surprising scores already today.

I win the whole thing in week three, beeyatches. That will never be done again.

Srsly? Oh man.

Chuck, PM or email where you want me to send a shirt.

That is cool. I think that is the fastest this thing has been won yet.

Good job Chuck

Play again for kicks? I mean, we "only" have 14 weeks left......

I was thinking of doing this. If Bob's cool with it I'm in.

Congrats, Chuck.

All Bow To Chuck
 

By far the quickest tournament we've ever had. If we can get at least 10 people to participate, I'll restart the competition with no prize, same rules. Chuck is allowed to participate.

We can do this two ways:

1) Everyone starts with a clean slate - no team in week 4 is off limits.
2) Everyone must use the same list they used during the last contest regardless whether that team won or lost. That provides a small boost to the participants who lost early. IOW, the contest started in Week 1 and everyone is given one mulligan.

Choose your weapons and we'll go from there.

Congrats to Chuck.

Yes, let's do another round. Actually, sounds like you (Bob) are proposing that the original contestants are now allowed one loss - but no more? So, it's two strikes and you're out?

For example, I could post my next pick like this:

1. Philadelphia Eagles
2. Cincinnati Bengals
3. San Francisco 49'ers
4. Week 4 pick

Or maybe:

1. Philadelphia Eagles
2. Cincinnati Bengals
x3. San Francisco 49'ers
4. Week 4 pick

---------------------

i'm in a Yahoo survivor league and they allow 3 strikes and you're out. Incidentally, everyone now has a strike in that league - no one has made it unscathed so far.... Today wiped out the remaining "clean slates"....

It will be easier to manage, IMO. With many of us out after week two, we never had to pick in week 3 thus we have a bigger slate of teams to pick from.

So start from scratch is my vote. And I am in.

I'm in, prefer everyone just start from scratch,
