when does this NFL business start - this weekend?
also, I have to pick the winner of a game, if i do i go through to the next round, right?
I can't remember who i picked, but some website said they would win.

This is so great it was worth joining. I'm gonna root for the Titans now because I want you to win and pwn the "experts"
Maybe we should have a cricket pick 'em next time [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I alomst took Indy. I should have. No way the defending champs lose at home to open the year.

Instead I'm pulling for Detroit. Why? Because I'm an idiot.

[/ QUOTE ]

Easily the worst pick that anyone in the pool picked.

I didn't really need confirmation of my idiocy, but [censored] you [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I actually stand corrected. At least you took a favorite. The worst pick of the week actually goes to kokiri who took Tennessee over Jacksonville.

Sorry, I won this last year going 10 or 11 weeks in against maybe 25 people. For some reason, I am very cocky and arrogant about my chances, even more so than I normally am.

In. What percentage of POGgers will remain after week 1?

[/ QUOTE ]

That's really impossible to say as it's not only dependent on the people choosing the game, but the actual games themselves.

[/ QUOTE ]
Yeah, that's what makes it a good question.

[ QUOTE ]
Assuming the top two games (in my opinion) pan out as they should, I would say 80-90% will move on.

[/ QUOTE ]
Incidentally, claiming that 80-90% will win "assuming the favorites win" is kinda crazy. I could predict that 100% of POGgers will move on if there are no upsets this week. But that'd be retarded.

For the record, the correct answer is ~60%.

You already annoy me.

No love for Pittsburgh playing against nobody?

I'm really surprised to see only one person picked DAL over NYG at home. They are also like a -6 favorite if I recall correctly, not that Vegas lines are the be-all end-all

Giants will win, so more of you should have picked Dallas

That's a trap game. Pittsburgh hasn't proven anything to anyone since a mediocre season last year, they are on the road against a slightly improved Browns team... I just don't like going against anyone at home opening week

Seatte, Minnesota, Jacksonville and Dallas were better picks than Pitt IMO

Also, FWIW, I think Dallas wins by 20 points on Sunday

Seriously, if you follow like 3-4 rules pretty much by the book, you'll probably finish in the top 10% about half the time.
