Ha! It's Back! RealJohnBoy's A2K NFL "Pick-Um" Game!

Lmur wrote from Ireland to tell me he will play again this year. He wants to do his part to stop Spendius from the UK, which has dominated Ireland for 900 years.
That would put us at 20 players so far indicating an interest.

@realjohnboy,

If you would like to play, all you have to do is predict the winners in these games (+ the final score in the last game). How easy is that?
Post your picks right here on A2K for all of the games before the kickoff of the game on Thursday, September 9th.
It's a simple game for simple people.
I thought I would attract some of the new philosophers on A2K. None yet, though.

Browns
Vikings
Broncos

@lmur,

Imur: I just happened to notice on your picks you made some errors. At the top of your picks you picked the Bengalas and on the bottom you also picked the Patriots.

Also on the bottom of the list, where you have to pick the final gamre scores, you picked the SF 49ers, but the game is between the SD Chargers and the Chiefs.

@Ragman,

lmur: Sorry...but I misread. Your picks were for week #2, not week #1.

@ossobuco,

... bet one of them is the pesky Steeler's game, huh?

@Ragman,

Osso (snicker, snicker) has Cincy over NE and Houston over Indy. What does she know?
She's a girl.

@realjohnboy,

I'm considering killing off Cincy; well, and a few other teams, but not yet.

@ossobuco,

The smart guys (sports experts) have Cincy-NE closely matched at 54% in favor of NE to -Bungles 46%. However, my feeling FWIW is that the home opener for Pats is certainly a must-win in terms of being the table-setter. Despite his unpopularity, 'the Hoodie' is one of the best there is at getting his team ready for game #1. The question is how porous is Pats D in relationship to Bungle's D?

I think that NE is indeed overrated.

@Ragman,

I read some decimating stuff, as in NE has vulnerabilities too.
I remember from other years that there are big surprises in the first games (well, hey, the rest too, but especially the first) - - the trick being to figure out what the surprises will be.

@ossobuco,

So, you're saying the first game has been less predictable statisticallyaccording to recent history?

1 Reply

@Ragman,

Yes, I'm saying that, it's what I remember, but, y'know,

never trust me.

It's probably look up-able.. re how espn/si folk (etc) did..
