Title: *CAKEMEISTER WINS* NFL Last Man Standing Pick 'Em 2008 Round Two
Post by: ChadTower on October 22, 2008, 09:23:47 am
Congratulations to J_K_M_A_N for winning 2008 Round One... since J_K_M_A_N declined the prize, instead suggesting a second round of the game, here we go again.  Round Two.  Fight!

I still have the prize so this round the winner will receive one (1) sealed copy of Outlaw Volleyball Red Hot and one (1) sealed copy of Outlaw Golf 9 More Holes of X-Mas.  These are fully playable Xbox "demos" that were sold only at Blockbuster for a short time a few years ago.  I will also add something decent for Round Two when I have the chance to poke around my basement this week so the winner this time gets the prizes for both Round One and Round Two.

<placeholder for a pic>

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.

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.

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.

I could have picked a couple this week but I went loyal and picked the Bucs.  I didn't think there was a chance they'd lose to the Cowboys this week.  I'm more annoyed with that then I am with being knocked out of this game.   :P

I sorta like having the dinner time game be a blowout.  Makes it easier to pay only some attention to the game.

...unless you're a Lions fan.  Then, realistically, you should be numb by now.  Have fun with McNabb under center next year.

Look at the line Vegas had.    Obviously, the whole cloud with the Williams' status for the game no doubt impacted the team going into the contest, no matter what anyone says.    Add to that Ferrotte's sad play and it was a nail biter.

I was guessing you'd pick against Detroit.  That should be a sure thing and I wanted to take that game, but the little voice in my head is saying that they can’t lose them all.

I was thinking the same thing about the Lions. This is their better chance to win a game of the two left.

I don't feel particularly good about picking the Broncos. I might change it.
