Welcome to the boards Shep. This contest is an elimination thingy so it is for those that "survived" last week.I think Falguys has a contest here that can be entered at any time (not sure though).
I'm a HUGE IDIOT! I was looking at week 3 schedule where Pitt plays Cinn. Good thing I double checked it.Week 2 I am changing my pick to Buffalo.GIGhope im not making a big mistake here....Pittsburg...GIG
Though "never" is something I don't subscribe to, I generally agree with your first 3 assertions (see my commentary and pick of the Raiders earlier). However, assertion #4 is pretty meaningless for week 2 of the season.BTW, you might note that TB/Car is a division matchup.Let's walk you through this
1: Never pick a game you predict to be close - narrows me down to 10 games
2: Never pick a road team - down to 7 teams
3: Never pick a division matchup (especially NFC North) - down to 4.....
4: Never pick a team that hasn't won all year - leaves just 1 team!!!

Am I crazy for picking Tampa so early? Maybe.
But the way I see it, in a few weeks, some teams will emerge to be really good, and some to be really bad. We'll know more about that later. So for now, I'm playing it safe.
arghhhh.....i guess i missed that one.Though "never" is something I don't subscribe to, I generally agree with your first 3 assertions (see my commentary and pick of the Raiders earlier).

I guess you have no picks this week. *LOL*
Just pick the Raiders and be happy. Then we can wave goodbye together at the busload of Viking folks after Kordell has one of his once a year shockingly good games.arghhhh.....i guess i missed that one.Though "never" is something I don't subscribe to, I generally agree with your first 3 assertions (see my commentary and pick of the Raiders earlier).

so i'll change my pick to..... oh nevermind. screw the rules. anyone see that article in ESPB the Mag about how no one can win the Super Bowl? Yeah that's kinda how I feel now.
and to defend #4, I think that applies even in week 2 (but certainly not 1) because I don't want to pick a team that I haven't seen any evidence of goodness yet....
Oh well
