week 1: arizona cardinals
week 2: kansas city cheifs

[dadmg]

Week 1: Philadelphia Eagles
Week 2: Arizona Cardinals over Miami. I wanted to pick a few other games more than this, but injury situations were making things sketchy. This is as good a time as any to squeeze out a Cards pick; against Miami and if they lose then its not like I made it to week 10 and was staking my survival on the Cards.

There go three or four for betting on the Chiefs...the Chiefs are always a safe bet to suck, even against the Raiders.

[Keith]

We're missing picks from jcp, painekiller, cland, and Roy P.

papabear and kravix both picked the Texans.

Fifteen other entries made it in time. Not sure what to do about the others honestly given the situation with Hurricane Ike.

This will be a pain, but I think we should let the others stay in and just play a week behind (i.e. if one of them lasts long enough, they would have to last one week longer than someone making a correct pick in Week 2).

Should there be someone to pick all 17 weeks correctly and one of the posters above pick correctly the rest of the way (16 weeks), then the winner would be the one picking 17 correct.

Thoughts? I don't want to penalize those missing a pick this week due to the circumstances, but I don't want them to float a week when 17 out of 21 of us found a way to pick before the storm moved through, too.

btw, for anyone able to read this before Monday night's kickoff, please make a Week 2 pick. TIA.

[jppaul]

That sounds fair

[sinnister]

Sounds good to me. Hope everyone in Houston is doing well..

[dadmg]

Sounds fair to me as well.

[chuck]

Who cares? This is a stupid game.

[kravix]

That souds fair to me Keith.

We could also just drop this week and the picks everyone made. That might be more fair to those that got booted this week that actually made picks over the ones that couldnt or like me made a pick for a game that didnt happen.

Sorry guys, but I haven't had power. I picked the Giants to destroy the
Rams like the the Eagles did. If I'd been able to get to a computer before today (Tuesday), they would have been my choice. So, I won't use them for next week.

1 - Pitt
2 - NYG

And while I'm here with the internet, go ahead and put me down for week 3.

3 - Buf Bills over the Raiders.
