Our first round fizzled when we didn't get a pick from kmccoach last week. So it's time to start Round 2.

A quick recap of the rules: Pick one NFL team that you think will win this weekend. If that team wins, you survive to next week. If your team loses, your eliminated from the round. The last player standing is the winner.

During the course of the round, you may not pick the same winner twice (i.e., if you pick Cincinnati this week, you may not pick them in a subsequent week until a winner has been declared--and if you pick Cincinnati at all, we'll probably all laugh at you.)

Ties will be broken ein favor of the person whose picks have won by the most total points in the round.

If the pool gets reduced to only two players, we'll ask them to submit their picks by PM just to make sure the leader or the later poster doesn't have an advantage. If both players select the same team, we'll ask them to pick again so that we're not just keeping time and can move the pool along.

C'mon in--the water's fine!

 

[Mike]

Raiders over the Chargers.

 

[Steve Mehs]

I've gotta think about this one

 

[Timco]

The Bengals are off this week, so I can't pick whoever they are playing.....

I will take Green Bay over the Redskins.

 

[Mike]

I was going to take the Bengals opponent too. Angels fans must think the same.

 

[Mark Lamutt]

Cleveland over Houston for me.

da bears

 

[Steve Mehs]

After thinking about it, I'll say the Miami over the Bills.

 

[kmccoach]

Maniacal: Sorry about last week. I just started a new job and haven't spent a whole lot of time on the net.

 

[Maniacal1]

kmc, I'm glad to hear that it was something positive that kept you away. I hope the new job is going well. Thanks for checking in, and I hope you'll jump back in for this round.

I'll take the Bears over Detroit.

 

[Charles Oliva]

Okay let's get bold.

Houston over Cleveland




BTW: Ummm Steve.....the Pats don't play this week.

 

[Steve Mehs]

oops I mean the Fins

 

[Ric]

I'll jump in and take the Bucs over the eagles

 

[John Corn]

kmccoach, Congratulations on the job!!
Hope you find time to start playing again.

I'll take the Dolphins over the Bills

 

[Maniacal1]

Eight men started, and two men survived.

Congratulations to Mark Lamutt (21 points) and Timco (17 points), the only two players to come up with a winner this week.

Mark and Tim, I'll ask you to send me your picks by PM for next week. If you happen to pick the same team, I'll let you know and ask you to pick again.

And for the rest of us, Round 3 may just start real soon.

 

[John Corn]

:lol: what an ugly week, for most of us anyways.

Timco has a good week going on his week 7 predictions as well. :righton:

 

[Timco]

How does it go? "Even a blind squirrel can find a nut every once in a while". That's me, a blind squirrel

 

[Steve Mehs]

Ouch what a weekend! Congrads Tim and Mark

 

[Maniacal1]

Tim and Mark have made their picks for Round 2, Week 2 (NFL Week 8):

Timco thinks Tennessee will beat Cincinnati.
Mark LaMutt thinks San Francisco will beat Arizona.

Maniacal1 thinks both Tim and Mark will survive to square off again next week.

 

[Maniacal1]

Timco and Mark LaMutt both picked winners this week. In the tiebreaker, Mark now has 31 points, and Tim has 23.

Gentlemen, if you'd PM me your picks for next week whenever you're ready, I'll post them. And again, if you happen to pick the same team, I'll let you know and ask you to pick again.
