*MARKRVP WINS* NFL Last Man Standing Pick 'Em 2007

[ChadTower]

I have run this the last two years and it went pretty well.  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.

[ChadTower]

Jacksonville over Tennessee

[Jeff AMN]

Denver over Buffalo

Man, there are no sure picks this week. All the games are pretty good match ups.

[ChadTower]

I was thinking the same thing.  Hard to find a sure winner this week.

[JamIt]

I'll take Pittsburgh over Cleveland

[shardian]

There are definitely no easy picks - to many question marks on pretty much every team. Having said that, if I go out in the first week I'm going out supporting my team.

Green Bay over Philadelphia at lambeau.

[abrannan]

Seattle over Tampa Bay

[Zero_Hour]

As Dennis green so eloquently put it, "They are who we thought they were!"
San Diego over Chicago

[JONTHEBOMB]

Minnesota over Atlanta

[markrvp]

Dallas Cowboys over New York Giants

[mccoy178]

Indy over Saints

[Bond007]

Minnesota over Atlanta

[Cakemeister]

New England over Jets.

[tommy]

Giants over Cowboys. Romo with two interceptions. 

[ahofle]

Denver over Buffalo too (can we use the same pick as someone else?)

[ChadTower]

Denver over Buffalo too (can we use the same pick as someone else?)

Yes, there is no rule saying only one person can choose a given game.

[Hoopz]

Pats over Jets.

This week's games are tougher than normal.  Good teams playing good teams and bad teams playing bad teams.

Michigan over App. State.... Oh wait a minute, you wanted NFL and winners...   

[ChadTower]

OT prediction:  either tommy or markrvp goes out quick.   

[boykster]

Seattle over Tampa Bay

[Chris G]

I'll go with Indy in week 1.

[Dmod]

Pittsburgh over Cleveland

[sportswizdan]

The "DEFENDING CHAMPS"  pick is:

Seattle over Tampa Bay

Shardian, I love your pick! The Lambeau mystique will return this year!!!

[ChadTower]

So when the Bucs roll, all previous champs will be eliminated.

Sweet!

[alomar721]

Pittsburgh over Cleveland

[Dartful Dodger]

Dallas over NYG

Do we keep editing our our original posts, or do we create a new one each week?

[ChadTower]

Neither, just reply in this thread.

[Malenko]

colts over saints.

I forgot about this thread, game just started, its 0 - 0 so I hope Im not DQ'ed

[ChadTower]

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.

You're not eliminated yet since there are more games in Week 1.  You cannot pick this game, though, as you didn't meet its deadline.

[chopps]

seahawks over bucs

figures I pick a team that wins.... and wins 41-10. This game was the only one this week I had an confidence in picking.

Try number 2,I flipped a coin and got heads, so Arizona over San Fransisco.

[RTSDaddy2]

Mike Vick, Mike  ....who cares? Thank god he's gone....

and I'll take Atlanta over Minnesota.

[markrvp]

So long Tommy, and thanks for all the laughs! 

[boykster]

Week 2:

Denver over Oakland

[boykster]

So long Tommy, and thanks for all the laughs! 

And oh DAMN our game moderator is outski in week 1......

[shardian]

So long Tommy, and thanks for all the laughs! 

What's funny about the Giants is that there are a ton of quality QB's out there and they get a 300 lb dude from Kentucky to be their backup.

[ChadTower]

And oh DAMN our game moderator is outski in week 1......

Yeah, that ain't right.  Obviously the game still runs, though.  I'll update the thread when I have more time around lunch today. 

Ever seen that 300lb dude throw in practice?  He looks like he could put a football through a bank vault door.

[Malenko]

wow so everyone picked right except chad and tommy ? (my second pick still pending)

[shardian]

Ever seen that 300lb dude throw in practice?  He looks like he could put a football through a bank vault door.

I watched him when he played for Kentucky fairly regularly. He can only operate out of the gun. Being that he is bigger than the dudes that tried to tackle him on that run, he should have went head first and plowed them over for the first down. Instead he did a crappy slide.

[ChadTower]

Being that he is bigger than the dudes that tried to tackle him on that run, he should have went head first and plowed them over for the first down. Instead he did a crappy slide.

Being that if he gets injured they're down to a third string QB (if they even have one), sliding is the intelligent thing to do.  It's more important to keep a bit conservative when you're almost out of bullets than it is to keep shooting for every possible inch of field position.

Here's a new suggestion:

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.

Week 2 - Chicago
