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. As always my goal is to make it out of Week 1 this year. And the winner does receive forum rep points.

Is this going to be another one of those years where the Cowboys start off terrible out of the gate, pull a few out of their ass, get me all excited, slime their way into the playoffs and then Romo chokes again? Preseason performance thus far indicates Yes.
Why would this be different than any other year?

I know they have like 5 quarterbacks including Bradford, Sanchez, and Tebow. I think Kelly got Tebow to turn him into a running back if he even makes the cut.

My pick won (Carolina over J'ville), my team won (Arizona over Dem Saints), and Game Night last night was a success. Too bad Mrs. Yotsuya was "too tired" last night, or this would have been a great weekend!
Yeah, all you need is one of your wife's coworkers to punch you in the face if you want to be surprised with that thing she normally refuses to do. Decide if whatever you're into is worth it, bro.
Had to love ESPN deciding the Aggie game was so non-competitive that they needed to air LSU vs Mississippi State on two different channels.
Also loved the "don't turn that dial, folks, this game isn't over!" BS during the Texans game.
Broncos game was entertaining.
Old Man Romo and Old Man Whitten pull another one out of their ass in the 4th quarter. That game was one of the ugliest season openers I've seen. And proof positive that numbers lie when it comes to quarterback ratings.

Gotta love it when Percy Harvin and Tom Brady were both on my teams bench this week...

When the Giants went for the FG (the safe thing) instead of going for it on 4th, I knew they would give up the TD and lose. You go for it on 4th and don't get it, Arlington still has to go 75 yards just for a FG and 99 for a TD. They deserved to lose.

Apparently I'm in minority opinion in that I don't think that was a terrible play call. Giants field goal forced Dallas to go for a touchdown.
Yeah, but they only had to go 3/4ths of the field to get it (since it got returned to the 28) and they still had a full minute and a half to do so. If they Giants don't get the TD, Dallas gets the ball back on the one with way less time to get downfield, plus you have Romo pinned in the endzone.

The play before that is what cost them -- If he had just taken the sack that would have taken 35 seconds off the game clock and Dallas would not have had the time to go down the field the way they did - then kicking the field goal would have made more sense but when they threw the third down ball away and left the time on the clock it would have made more sense to go for the TD rather than kick the field goal -- figure worse case they don't get it and then Dallas has to go down the entire field and probably run out of time and lose or get a field goal attempt and tie it rather than the TD and the game goes to OT.
By throwing the third down ball out of the end zone rather than taking the sack and then following up by kicking the Field goal they take out the Tie option so Dallas has to go for the goal line pass play rather than tie it with a field goal and leaves them a couple extra downs with those 35 seconds. Just bad clock management and decisions that wound up costing them the game.

The issue with Phil Simms, if I can recall the rants correctly, won a Super Bowl and got kicked off his team, got his son the starting quarterback position on a college team over a better alternative, and says ridiculous things along the lines of, "he dropped that pass because the second knuckle on his left ring finger wasn't properly flexed, a mistake I never would have made." I just try to keep my head down and my mouth shut.

He actually got pissed at more than a few QB's that got attention. He's mellowed, but I remember that distinct attitude from him that he is the guy with the rings and that is all that counted.
Ah... I'm really only paying attention during Cowboys games. If I have another game turned on and the crowd noise gets intense enough I might quit jerking off and look up from my iPad for just long enough to see the guy run into the end zone.
Aikman's inspires all kinds of weird reactions out of people. I've heard things like,
"I don't care that he's gay."
"He's out of it most of the time."
"He gives nuanced and insightful commentary."
"He wishes he could get back in the game."
I'll say this for him. He'd take the hit if it meant completing the pass. And that pass went where it was supposed, even if the receiver didn't. I still call him Robo-Throw to irritate people.

The whole batted ball thing is stupid. Ball was going out anyway, and if he would have just grabbed it and took a knee it would have been a touch back. Now you know why I'm starting to hate the NFL. Also, cowboys should have beat the packers in the play offs last year. That was a catch.

Gotcha. I figured as much but just checking. Proximity plus division rivals helps. Atl actually having a good team for the first time since Billy White Shoes Johnson played helps too.I'm assuming it's the Saints. What's wrong with them?
I know that we're no Chicago/Green Bay, or Kansas City/Oakland, or Dallas/San Francisco....
But people forget that Atlanta and the Aints hate each other with a PASSION.
Perhaps you recall last year when the Stains Plane rolled into Hartsfield Jackson it was egged by an airport employee.

I initially typed "Da Bears are who we thought they were" when they gave up that TD with like 20 seconds left, then changed it to "Da Lions" when they gave up that tying FG. Then James Brown came on the air and said NFL rules prevented them from showing us overtime, so I figured at that point you could crown both of their asses.

Pagano and the GM reportedly have been at odds for a year or more. And Pagano isn't under contract after this season. That play last night isn't going to help.

I haven't really heard anything but the marketing powers that be have been shoving him down our throats HARD this season. I haven't seen anything like this since the Michael Jordan commercial breaks in the 90s. Trucks, groceries, soda, aluminum siding. One after the other.
