Great minds think alike I guess, except for the fact you didn't pick the Panthers, for shame. So how about you tell me your picks this week and the score so I can send it in to Machina. I'm actually sort of going to pick my games off of the espn power rankings.

SK is in the League now, woot!

I actually did this for the first week, combined with a few expert picks, and my own thoughts on the teams' play style. Mostly because I haven't payed any attention to football other than the Eagles, and it will take a few weeks before I can figure out how each team is really playing.

I'll be posting my picks probably on Friday or Saturday in this thread. I think it's better to post & pm, that way everyone can see what you picked.

Woot, I won the first week! Though, I had 11 wins before the last 2 games and I lost on both of those, haha. The Raiders let me down! I have to pick against them this week. Go 49ers! (though they'll probably lose, I still picked them )

Week 2 Template:


Titans at Cincinnati
Green Bay at Detroit
Oakland at Kansas City
NY Giants at St. Louis
Indy at Minnesota
New Orleans at Washingotn
Chicago at Carolina
Buffalo at Jacksonville
San Fran at Seattle
Atlanta at Tampa
Baltimore at Houston
New England at NY Jets
Miami at Arizona
San Diego at Denver
Pittsburgh at Cleveland
Philadelphia at Dallas

Total score for San Diego/Denver game = 35

edit: I also pm'ed my picks btw

@Onyx - Ok, I'll give it some thought and we'll do it next week. I would prefer something simple like predicting the division winners and wild cards like you suggest, and getting 1 point for guessing each team correctly and 1 point for getting a seed number correctly (so a max of 24 points).

The post-season matches themselves will be dealt with like any other week, and I don't really want to overlap that with picking the winners/losers of those matches now, so I think we'll just keep it simple and do the above.

@Bardic - I'm a Raiders and a Dolphins fan, I got no love for the Broncos :P. The reason for the Denver pick is its possible implications on the AFC West (possible 0/2 Chargers and 2/0 Broncos :o).

@nextgreatchamp - That's what I intend to do (just like last week). Each week I'll post mine here and I won't edit them after they've been posted, so anyone can note them down as soon as I post them up if they want.

 

Fair nuff. Though AFC West hasn't really brought any challengers to the superbowl in years. I think the last one was the Raiders in 02. Probably the weakest division out there =)

I didn't really check out any of the power rankings or anything. I just based my picks off of how I think they'll do. Sometimes I'll make a pick based on how a team plays in Madden 09, haha. Last year I pretty much only played with the 49ers in my games, but this year I've been trying out more teams to get a feel for them, hehe

You doubt the inferiority of the NFC West??? (Though the Seahawks still manage to do ok) Oh and Go 49ers!

I cheated a bit and looked at the expert picks on ESPN.  Only 3 of them have picked minus the Accuscore.  I had trouble with a few of the games because I had no clue.
