| NFL "Pick The Winners" Thread Week 1(Deadline: THURSDAY, September 4th, 7pm Eastern) Welcome to the ninth season of the NFL “Pick the Winners” game here at the Sports board!  For those who have played this game before, you know how the drill goes. If you are new to the game, it’s pretty simple. During each week of the season, there will be a thread posted with that week’s slate of games. It is your job to pick the winner of each match-up and place a point value on it. This week there are 16 games on the schedule. You would allocate your points from the game you are most confident in (16 pts.) to the game you view as a toss-up (1 pt.). *You may not place the same point value on more than one game. It should be in decreasing value from 16 to 1.* At the conclusion of each week, we will add up the total points and crown a “Pick the Winners” champion. Over the course of the season, we will keep a list of the weekly champions and a running point total for each participant. At the end of the season, the person(s) with the highest point total and/or most weekly championships will be crowned the season winner. Sounds pretty simple, right?  So, join in! If you have any questions, feel free to ask here.Week 1 Games Washington at NY Giants (Thursday) Tampa Bay at New Orleans Cincinnati at Baltimore Detroit at Atlanta Houston at Pittsburgh Jacksonville at Tennessee Kansas City at New England NY Jets at Miami Seattle at Buffalo St. Louis at Philadelphia Carolina at San Diego Arizona at San Francisco Dallas at Cleveland Chicago at Indianapolis Minnesota at Green Bay (Monday) Denver at Oakland (Monday) __________________ "We learned more from a three minute record than we ever learned in school." | |||

| Wow! We're in our ninth season of this game?  I can't believe that I started it *that* long ago. Time flies by... I'll be back in a few days with my picks. __________________ "Government, even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one." | |||

I'll make my picks later. I haven't played this game for the past couple years. I'll have to check all the matchups and see what I like. __________________ I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death. -Nas | |||

| I'll pick later but I just want to point out that we have no idea what will happen with the NO/TB game right now with the hurricane (meaning it could be postponed) so you might want to pick low there. | |||

| If the season opener is not playable in New Orleans, they will probably play the game in Tampa Bay. Conversely, the game that was scheduled to be played in TB later in the season would be played in New Orleans. That would be my guess. __________________ "Government, even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one." | |||
