Chad's ran this since he started it but he isn't interested in running it this year. I'm going to run it for us.
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.
Good luck to all.

and thank you Hoopz for taking this on :applaud:

I meant to post this earlier so thanks for bumping the other thread. Chad and I had exchanged messages last week so I knew I had to get it done.
I don't mind running it since it gives me something to do after I pick the wrong team in week 3. ;D
EDIT: Or I get eliminated in Week 1. Some tough games to chose from.
-
Thanks for running it this year Hoopz! I'm looking to improve on my runner-up finish from last year!
There are a lot of tough games this week. I'll go with the local boys.
JMB: Week 1 NE Patriots def Cincy Bengals.

That was way too much coding.
EDIT: Prize this year is 1 Year subscription to game room magazine. My treat (if no one wants to chip in, lol)

I love NFL Last Man Standing. Thanks Hoopz

To make your text GLOW, click the button that is fourth from the left and has a Glowing GREEN G. That adds code and you put your text in between the ][ brackets. Like:
THIS
If you want to change the color, type a new color name instead of red like:
THIS
If I can do it, you can too! ;)

San Diego beats Kansas City
Sweet. Turquoise is an option. Is there a list of available colors?

Living in Indy, I can say that I'm not convinced that the Colts are as good as they've been in the past. I honestly think the Texans can beat them this week. I did notice that no one picked the Colts to win this week. It's definitely not a gimme.

Week 1
GIANTS BEAT CAROLINA

Well, I'm out.
Good luck to everyone else. :cheers:

Bump for anyone who wants to get in before the early games today. Remember that you only need to pick a winner five (5) minutes before that game starts. So someone can still get in tomorrow if they want to pick one of the two games on Monday night.

You guys suck worse than jackass Pete Carrol. :lol
First week is just practice, right? To make sure everyone knows how to highlight their picks? Anyone?

we could do double elimination? I'm down for a first week do-over (and my team won!) as long as everyone else is.

Nope it's cool. If we get done early, we can run another one like Chad did last year.
I last longer at sex than I do at these stupid Pick Em games! :P
-
Somebody please e-mail me when the do-over starts :banghead:
-
Thanks Malenko! Great idea. I'll split it with you (unless others want to throw a few bucks in).
I just realized I never got around to sending out last year's prize. :banghead:
Could the winner contact me? That item isn't around anymore but I can find something appropriate to the hobby to send out.
-
NO over SF
-
GREEN BAY over Buffalo
I don't care about double elimination or whatever you guys want to do - week 1 was rough. I'm in another pool and 1/2 the pool is out because of the 49ers.

week 2 :Green Bay over Buffalo

I think I will take
Packers defeat Bills
but with all the "interesting" playing this year I dunno
Anyone see a strong offense / defense combination this year?
I watched the Seattle game ('cause I live there) and the seahags did not dominate... Short fields all day, and don't get me started on the Ravens 3rd and forever and the jets keep drawing a foul, come on! :badmood:
-
Philadelphia Over Detroit
-
Philadelphia Eagles OVER Buffalo Bills
When I was still alive in this, I cared enough to copy your coding. Now that I lost, too much work.
:P

I think it's hard to say who is strong this year on both sides of the ball after one game. This week should tell us if NE is a top team, where Tenn is at, the deal with Houston, how bad the Dolts are etc. And that's just the AFC.

Just an FYI to everyone, the prize wont be a gameroom subscription but rather a digital archive and possibly a tote. Also, if I win whoever comes in second will get the prize. And no worries Hoopz, I'm gonna cover the cost of it.
-
So do I start McFadden (vs. STL) or Nicks (@IND) this week? I can't decide and Michael Bush (the other Raiders RB) is going to be a gametime decision whether he plays. If McFadden is the primary back for the whole game he should have another good day. Nicks has been out this week as far as practicing but he is definitely playing and the Giants will definitely be throwing it around. I can't decide!!!

Week 2 - Seattle over Denver

Well, that didn't work out so great. Have fun guys. Hopefully there will be a round two. :)

wow.. i didnt think it looked that bad.. :dunno i was mostly just seeing what colors actually worked... guess im a bit of a diva :laugh2:
-
Some closer games than what may have been expected but only one pick caused a member to join the rest of us losers on the sidelines.
Some burning questions:
Is KC really that good?
Is Seattle really that good?
Is SF really that bad?
WTF is up the Chargers?
Yes, all four of those teams affected my fantasy teams. ---daisies---!
-
My Raiders almost beat the Cards... I'm glad I didn't pick that game, though. :banghead: Miss a 32 yard FG with 4 seconds left...
-
Cowboys won, ordinarily I'd say that's a good thing, but it means we're stuck with that kicker and quarterback.
:angry:
I'm guessing the kicker goes before the coach but it could be a toss up.

Malenko : Jets over the Bills

Well, I'd hate to be a stickler, but someone has broken the rules:
WEEK 2
GREEN BAY over Buffalo
I don't care about double elimination or whatever you guys want to do - week 1 was rough. I'm in another pool and 1/2 the pool is out because of the 49ers.
WEEK 3
NE over BUF
I always wondered...did anyone ever pay attention to this in past seasons, or was it more of an honor (or more likely a pay-attention-to-it system). I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't the only time it was accidentally done.
I didn't want to rat you out, javeryh! Honest! :police:
-
TEN over DEN
-
Saints over Falcons
:banghead: I'm out
-
hyper: Good catch. I try to look at it but I missed it obviously.
javeryh - I'm leaning towards eliminating you from the "competition" unless the others decide to give you a pass. I don't want to be an ass about it and I feel bad because I should have caught it before the games started which would have given you a chance to pick another game.
I'm not going to ask anyone to post their thoughts about what we should do. I don't want anyone feeling pressured one way or the other. They can PM if they want to say what should happen. This is all for fun so I hope nobody gets all worked up about it.

Perhaps select the hardest game(s) to select as a group, and have him pick one? Of course, you'll have to come to an agreement quickly.
Baltimore vs. Pittsburgh possibly? New England vs. Miami? Those seem like particularly tough picks in my eyes.
-
New Orleans beats Carolina
and I am fine with a pick 2 situation

Week 4: Green Bay over Detroit

Wait, what are the rules? Guess I should learn to read. Usually when I play suicide pools it's pick a winner and you can never use the same team twice. If I'm out I'm out and if you want me to pick 2 or 3 games this week I can do that too. :-[

hoopz is running it, but I think picking 2 is fine. because if you win, theres 4 teams you cant use next week. I made a mistake last year with the losing team (I picked the right winner but typed ST.Lous Cardinal instead of Rams) and had to pick 2 games, so I think its quite fair.

So I can't take the Jets, eh? But the best strategy is to take whoever is playing the Bills! So if I am understanding the rules correctly, I picked NE over BUF last week so those are the only 2 teams I can't use this week?
OK, here goes:
Green Bay over Detroit
New Orleans over Carolina
and I'll even throw in a
San Diego over Arizona
-
I will take all three picks and that's what we will use. Good luck with three games.
I appreciate your willingness to do this javeryh and everyone's willingness to not get their panties in a bunch. I'll update everyone's picks when I get time.
AND EVERYONE QUIT USING A DARK COLOR ON A DARK FONT! :dizzy: I try and read those and it always looks like you're picking the Rams to win. >:D

that means you can't pick any of those 6 teams to win or lose next week. So thats like 12 games you cant pick from (unless they play each other) and next week and next week is the first week of byes, just take the first two and we'll call it square. No one picked the baltimore pittsburgh game
-
No one picked the baltimore pittsburgh game
And that surprises you? I only suggested it as a penance-type pick for javeryh if others agreed. Though picking three is a good way to earn your keep.
Good luck to all, especially javeryh.

yeah - next week will be the real challenge but I'm willing to go with three games.
P.S. Next week will not be a challenge because I'll go with IND over KC. ;D

That's the only sensible pick this week. I'm not allowed to pick New Orleans over Cleveland so I'll go with:
BALTIMORE over Buffalo
-
If you both keep your picks at Baltimore (said with a Scarface accent!) over the Bills, do I need to even update the games picked? If you both win, you pick again next week. If you both lose, you pick again next week.
:P
-
there should be a tie breaker pick, they could keep picking the same teams for infinity :p
-
I think next week we'll sort out the men from the boys
Who are you gonna pick
:soapbox:
Jacksonville at Dallas ? Should be a cakewalk for Dallas but Dallas is playing really badly this season
Buffalo at KC -- nope can't choose that one
Houston at Indy ? Houston beat Indy in Houston but can they do it on the road?
Green Bay at Jets ? Jets --- this will probably be my pick next week but still....?
JaveryH ... any thoughts on next week?

I'll share my thoughts but since I lost in week 1, take them with a grain of salt.... :hissy
KC at home would be a good one. Bills are terrible. I bet we could get 11 guys from the boards here to suit up and beat those punch of turds.

yeah - it's also why I got in trouble for my original strategy of picking whoever is playing the Bills! Next week looks tough. The only sane picks are probably Dallas (which is actually insane sine they are 1-4) and Tennessee. All of the games look pretty even!
-
Duh... I knew that about the Bills. I was just testing you guys! ;)
-
Updated for weeks 6 and 7. You guys got lucky that Baltimore came back. Then again, since you both had them to win it didn't matter that much.
I like Malenko's suggestion that if you both pick the same team to win, you have to pick a 2nd game to be the tie breaker if your first choice loses. Thoughts on that?

I like Malenko's suggestion that if you both pick the same team to win, you have to pick a 2nd game to be the tie breaker if your first choice loses. Thoughts on that?
I'll pick any amount of games although I have a feeling we will be making different picks this week. The match-ups are tough and Dallas isn't a lock to win now that Romo is out.

I shouldn't have said "lock" - I meant best bet since Jacksonville is really really really bad (but I guess so are the Cowboys now). They are still 6.5 favorites as of today, on the road, without Romo. Still, the biggest spread of the week is the Kansas City/Buffalo game. If it was in Buffalo I'd say it was a trap game since the Bills have the ability to win at least 1 game this year and Kansas City is an up and coming team (and up and coming teams always lose games they "should" win and win or hang real close in games they "should" lose). Too bad we can't pick that game. If we stay away from Dallas since they are in complete disarray the next biggest spread is the Jets -6 against Green Bay! That is insane. The match-ups this week are crazy.

When there's two people left, whoever posts their pick first has dibs on that game. The other player should have to pick a different game.

Hey Javeryh I don't mind if we pick the same team week after week myself.. I wouldn't mind a super bowl showdown!
Week 8 PATRIOTS over vikings
Good Luck!

Patriots are a 6 point favorite. Ballsy pick there. :lol
They aren't here to show their balls. Just to get to the next round.
And that game is hardly a lock. Both of those teams are up and down this year. Shoot, it could be a tie which would screw him too. :D

I am still undecided!! I'll take the JETS over the Packers for now but I'm likely to change before game time. If Tavaris Jackson plays I might look at the Patriots but even that's a toss up - the Vikings have to be desperate.
