And we’re back!
WEEK ONE.
After that looooong long Offseason, it has returned. There’s nothing quite like Football Season.
We made it!
As usual, this year comes with its share of storylines.
Will Seattle repeat, or is the LAR the inevitable Champ? Can the old Bmore Coach work his magic in New York? Is Kansas City done or are they Winning The AFC (again)?
Those are intriguing questions, no doubt.
And since we are a football pool, we get to put all thouse question to the test.
I dunno about you, but I couldn’t wait to get this thing started!
And judging from the field to open the season, I think we all agree.
There’s just nothin’ like Football.
So let’s get it going.
How This Works
For you new guys, our concept is simple: pick who you think is gonna Win on Gameday. The person that gets the most right Wins!
Our main rule around here is NO SPLIT POTS!
We have us a series of tiebreakers to determine a sole Winner, ’cause that’s how we roll (click here to check that out).
Sheets are due on Thursdays. I put out this post detailing the field & publish the picks for all to see about an hour or so before Kickoff. Updates happen after each round of games.
The Monday Night Game decides the week’s champ ¾ of the time.
Once a Victor is determined, the post declaring The Winner goes up after The Monday Night game. Then, Tuesday morning the new sheets are posted and we do it again.
It’s easy. You’ll get the hang of it.
(Sorry. Got long winded. Let’s get back on track.)
This week’s field is 61 players deep. That means we’re shooting at a pot of $305 right off the bat.
Pot’s right.
EDIT: Nick B chose Buffalo. The change has been made.
Here’s the field:
Alright. That’s everybody in the mix.
You can scroll through the sheet with your finger if you’re viewing through your phone. You can also click the link to download your own copy to keep score OR you can chill, enjoy the games & peep the updates (because I do it).
Either way, we’ll all know what’s what together.
It’s all on the up-&-up; there’s no bullshit. If you Win, everyone following will know.
Cool?
FOR THE WEEK
- the pot is $270
- there are 54 players
- There are no unanimous picks this week, but the majority like Detroit and LAC. It’s pretty evenly split (no clear favorites). That’s early season for ya.
- it’s Week 1, so there really isn’t an underdog pick of the week since no one’s played. Once we have some results, this’ll be a regular feature of our program.
- Likewise, being that this is the 1st Regular Season Game of the year, there is no reining champ.
- Lastly, let me take a moment to recognize Dave J. This man KILLED IT last season! Seriously; the guy used the pool like an ATM! I’ve never seen somebody Win so much! How many time did you Win Dave—five, SIX, Seven times??? Unbelievable. (real question is how many you got in ya this year?)
Okay, that’s it. I’ve rambled enough.
The next update is after the game.
Enjoy tonight’s matchup. As always good luck.
