NFL Last Man Standing Pick 'Em 2011 ROUND 2 - Make your picks!!!!!!!!!

[Hoopz]

I ran this last year and Chad ran it the first few years.  I was going to post it next week, but I'm bored at work today and may not have time next week to do it.

Rules are simple.  Choose one game each week.  Pick the winner.  If you are wrong you are eliminated from the game.  Last man standing wins.  I will keep track of everyone's picks each week and display them by editing this post.  

When making a pick, highlight it in the post, so that they're easier to pick out.  I don't want to miss anyone's pick.  If you don't know how to highlight it, copy somebody else's pick and change the color name if you want.

A pick must be made every week.  Failure to make a pick results in elimination.   Picks should be posted in this thread so that people have the ability to double check my work.

You cannot pick a game with the same team two weeks in a row.  If you pick the Rams over the Titans in week 2, you cannot use either the Rams game or the Titans game in week 3.  Having everyone help with this will eliminate the possibility of a mistake on my end on this item.  You can pick a team multiple times over the season.  

Entrant pool closes an hour preceding the game you want to pick.  That means that if you want to pick Thursday's game this week you must do so at least an hour before the game starts.  Forum timestamps will be binding.

Good luck to all.  My personal goal is to make it out of Week 1 this year.

Nice! Thanks for running it again Hoopz!

[Malenko]

One suggestion, City is the deciding factor. If you say Dallas Texans, you picked Dallas not Houston. One year I said St.Louis Cardinals when I meant Rams and heck broke loose.

[ChadTower]

I LOLed pretty hard seeing tommy is still eliminated every year during the preseason.

I'll make sure that I read the items instead of just copying them.  That should help eliminate any problems.  If not, we'll handle it.

He picked the Pit Bulls to win....   

[javeryh]

I'm in.

[yotsuya]

I'm in.

[Mikezilla]

Im in as well.

[Vigo]

Count me in as well.

[Donkbaca]

Can't you set this up in yahoo and have them manage it for you?  Then all you would have to do is post the link to the private group here...

[hypernova]

Two years ago I lasted until at least halfway.  Last year?  First round exit.

[Hoopz]

Two years ago I lasted until at least halfway.  Last year?  First round exit.

I was out last year in the first round also.  I probably average getting to about the 3rd week.  Then I usually make a risky pick.  No idea why.

A few "easy" ones to pick from in week 1.  For now, I'll take:

SD over Viqueens

[Cakemeister]

I thought the Dallas Texans were the Kansas City Chiefs. That's confusing.....

I need to look at the rosters before picking....

[Dervacumen]

This will not be pretty.  I'm in until I forget I was part of the in crowd.

[markrvp]

Week 1 is tough... almost all of those games could go either way.  I think if somebody is brave enough to pick the Cincy/Cleveland game and gets it right they should get a special prize.

I'll take:      Arizona Cardinals   over   Carolina Panthers

[BadMouth]

  Pittsburgh Steelers over Baltimore Ravens

(crap, just re-read the rules and realized that I couldn't pick either team next week.  The plan was to pick Baltimore next week if I survived week 1  )

[Vigo]

Yeah, week 1 is tough....especially since some shoe-in teams did struggle during preseason.

As much as I want to take SD over the queens, I know I will be tapping into the Vikings losing quite a bit this season (if I last). I want to be sure to change things up when I can.

I'm going with New England Patriots over Miami Dolphins.

[Dartful Dodger]

Arizona Cardinals   over   Carolina Panthers

[ChadTower]

NY Jets over Dallas

[markrvp]

NY Jets over Dallas

Hope you're wrong on that one ;-)

[ChadTower]

Don't think so.  Neither team has changed very much.  Dallas was 6-10 last year.  Jets were 11-5.  This is a no brainer IMO.

[Dartful Dodger]

NY Jets over Dallas

Hope you're wrong on that one ;-)

I hope he's right.

I have the Jets defense on my fantasy team.

[Dervacumen]

Don't think so.  Neither team has changed very much.  Dallas was 6-10 last year.  Jets were 11-5.  This is a no brainer IMO.

As much as I hate the Jets, you're on the money.  So is the pick over the 'fins.  Which leads me to my first pick, but I may go to hell for this since I'm an avid Fin Fan.  I'm still flying my colors, though.

New England Patriots over Miami Dolphins

[Zero_Hour]

This is always a fun game to lose 

Atlanta over Chicago

[JONTHEBOMB]

Vikings are going to stink this year.  I hope they get a few wins, especially against those Green Bay slackers.

San Diego over Minnesota

[jimfath]

(sigh) Since I'll be at a backers bar watching this, I'll bite.
Cleveland over Cincy

[markrvp]

(sigh) Since I'll be at a backers bar watching this, I'll bite.
Cleveland over Cincy

That's the way I would pick it too, i just couldn't put all my marbles on that game.

[hypernova]

Philadelphia Eagles over St. Louis Rams

[ahofle]

San Diego over Minnesota

[Malenko]

In an effort to have more fun this year, and probably be eliminated FAST, I'm gonna try to pick only close games

Baltimore Ravens over the Pittsburgh Steelers

[J_K_M_A_N]

I gotta try...

Minnesota Vikings over San Diego Chargers

My Queens are going to kick ass this year. (I girl can dream can't she?)

J_K_M_A_N

[Cakemeister]

I've got to go with my Texans:

Week 1: Texans over Colts

[JMB]

New England Patriots over Miami Dolphins

[Flake]

CLE over CIN

[wp34]

This is a good week to skip the Bears.

New York Jets over the Dallas Cowgirls

[Vigo]

What, nobody has the cajones to pick on the Packers-Saints game? 


Well...neither do I....

[wp34]

What, nobody has the cajones to pick on the Packers-Saints game? 


Well...neither do I....

Me neither.

[Malenko]

What, nobody has the cajones to pick on the Packers-Saints game? 


Well...neither do I....

I think Baltimore over Pittsburgh is Ballzier.  Fine, I pick the Packers too.

[Hoopz]

I think Baltimore over Pittsburgh is Ballzier.  Fine, I pick the Packers too.

Updated with your second pick.  Picking either of those four teams to win their respective games does take a big pair.

[chopps]

week 1:  Packers over Saints
