We'll follow the same format as the football pool back in the old UJ.

- It will be a spread pool.

- Each week we will pick 5 games against the spread.

- Wins, losses and pushes will be tallied. In the event of a tie at the end of the pool, pushes will be used as the tiebreaker.

- Every Tuesday I will post the spreads to be used for that week.

- Every Tuesday I will post an update of the pool standings.

- If you wish to pick a Thursday game you don't need to make your other picks at the same time. You can edit those in later. Don't worry, I'll be paying attention.

- The pool will run all the way to the Super Bowl.

- Obviously, we won't be able to pick 5 games each week during the playoffs, so we will pick every playoff game.

- The winner of the pool will receive this magnificent, fully engraved trophy that you can use to impress your friends and pick up hot MILFs!

Hawk's upset specials are Pittsburg, Green Bay and NY Giants. Not that I would bet those, but those are all likely upsets

Of course, and you need to straighten up your desktop.

The problem with those upsets is two new coaches, and the New England factor.

I think Pitts will be very good this year, but not week 1 Foxborough good.

I credit all of my selections to me not knowing what I'm doing.

Personally, I think you know what you're doing. (as far as the Arizona pick, that is)

So do the rest of you want to concede the season to RD and me?

This is precisely why you don't sit your starting Quarterback for the entire pre-season. (rookie head coach mistake)
Aaron Rodgers came out rusty and had to be saved by the defense.

I listen to quite a bit of sports talk radio during the day and one caller said that he bets all the unders on each game for week 1, precisely because the offenses are not yet in sync due to inactivity in the preseason
I've heard that one before, and it's a valid point.
But when your week 1 opponent is one of the best defenses in the league AND a division rival... why the hell didn't Aaron Rodgers take a single snap in a pre-season game! That was just stupid.

I recall having to quote people's picks in the old UJ to make sure they didn't alter their picks. Any reason to do so here?

Not sure, If anyone quotes you, you are set.

Anyone is free to edit their picks all they want up until the games start. Once the games start your picks are locked in. I will be recording everyones picks after the 1:00 games start and then checking them again after the 4:00 games start to log everyone's final picks.

We'll follow the same format as the football pool back in the old UJ.

- It will be a spread pool.

- Each week we will pick 5 games against the spread.

- Wins, losses and pushes will be tallied. In the event of a tie at the end of the pool, pushes will be used as the tiebreaker.

- Every Tuesday I will post the spreads to be used for that week.

- Every Tuesday I will post an update of the pool standings.

- If you wish to pick a Thursday game you don't need to make your other picks at the same time. You can edit those in later. Don't worry, I'll be paying attention.

- The pool will run all the way to the Super Bowl.

- Obviously, we won't be able to pick 5 games each week during the playoffs, so we will pick every playoff game.

- The winner of the pool will receive this magnificent, fully engraved trophy that you can use to impress your friends and pick up hot MILFs!

I think I'll wait to start making picks until week 3 (check out the off season trends) like I've done every year for the past 6 years. Will that mess with your limited math comprehension skills? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'd say start picking this week or fuck off for the season.
