My results are correct.

[UMFan83]

Can I join? Obviously I won't be able to compete in the overall, but it would be fun to compare

 

Edit: And I'm not trying to change your rules or anything, but I think it would be fun/interest if everyone put in their "Lock of the Week" along with their picks. Optional obviously

I didn't ask for permission, I just threw my picks in there, and they've begrudgingly agreed to post my record as long as I keep taking last place.

[Andy]

My lock of the week is whoever I pick in Survival Football, I guess.

My lock is whichever team is playing the Raiders.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

My record for week 2 is 9-7 and 8-8 for week one making me 17-15 on the season so far.

[Mark_R]

Anyone can pick, mos def. Its also a good tool to see how much you'd lose in Vegas ;)

 

I'll bold a few top confidences (probably 3 per week) and italicize one lock...

[UMFan83]

So where do we make our picks? This thread?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I put my picks in the NFL thread, but I can repost them here if needed.

Thanks, Soccer. I've been way too unmotivated the last few days to get to this :D

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

We might just want to drop ties from the record. They don't matter and when one person gets a tie, everyone does.

 

And wow...I should have laid some money down on my picks for this week!

I agree on dropping the ties from the score. I'll fix my post above.

 

And your feeling about laying money down this week was the same feeling I had after my 12-4 Week 2. But then I went 4-8 this week and realized that's why I don't bet.

[SouthSideRyan]

Figured it'd be easier to throw my picks in the actual thread.

 

Indianapolis Colts (-9) @ New York Jets

San Diego Chargers (-2.5) @ Baltimore Ravens

Minnesota Vikings (+1) @ Buffalo Bills

Dallas Cowboys (-9.5) @ Tennesee Titans

San Francisco 49ers (+7) @ Kansas City Chiefs

Arizona Cardinals (+7.5) @ Atlanta Falcons

Miami Dolphins (-3.5) @ Houston Texans

If I had bet on every one of my picks for the season, I'd probably have broken even so far.

[UMFan83]

...well after I 1-13 week, I've decided that I am not going to Vegas anytime soon until I learn how to gamble.

[TruffleShuffle]

Well, I have a good winning percentage anyway. Spending the last two weekends in Italy wasn't really conducive to making picks.
