+++ NFL Week 1 Picks +++

[Auggie]

Welcome back to D.U. NFL picks.

:hi:

I'm pshyched.

We bet the spread as published by www.footballlocks.com. I'll try to have them up by noon Thursdays, E.S.T.

In order for everyone to have time to think/research their choices, and also because official injury reports are usually released Friday, Thursday games EXCEPT FOR WEEK ONE will not be included.

I don't see any reason to change anything from last year except to not count ties, or pushes, in the standings (last year they counted as a loss).

Please post this weeks picks before kickoff Thursday evening.

The winner gets Sports Forum bragging rights, whatever that's worth. JonLP24 did a fantastic job tallying results last time and I hope he offers to do it it again.

So without further ado, away we go...

if you are wondering.

Same way as last year. Half of weeks played gets on the percentage side of the standings. Odd number weeks than the smaller half will be used as a marker for winning percentage.

29. So, as a Vikings fan, not only did I have to watch them lose last night

but I had to see one of my picks go down the tube because of a missed PAT? Are you frickin me? I imagine there are a lot of people out there who put real money on it (and not just the hopes of DU Sports forum fame and glory) that are pretty pissed about them missing the spread because of that.

[Auggie]

30. The Saints missed two field goals

The score could easily have been 20-10.

Hang in there...

[Auggie]

31. And the winner is...

chollyblocker

With an incredible record of 10 wins and 4 losses. Congrats!

Special mention to mitchreject and fivegan for finishing 9-5.

:applause:

Tampa Bay/Cleveland and Arizona/St. Louis were both pushes, so they won't count in standings

Thanks for playing. See you Thursday.
