you are playing "against" everybody else so if you know what somebody else has you could ride their picks and pick the same. all picks will be shown soon. i'm guessing probably after the start of tomorrow nights game.

oh yea..i'm in

Can you tell I'm a noob at this?

I'm in,
and I find that I'm already fretting my first pick

...maybe reconsider??

...this is pool is relatively easy, but I remember why I quit picking all the games (or even parlays) in the NFL!

Is this straight up or against the spread listed?

Straight up. You have to pick a winner every week, and you can't pick the same team twice. It would be so much harder picking against the spread.

That's what I thought, but wanted to make sure.

Thanks.

You might be nuts, if you're saying that out loud while you're typing it.

FUNNY!..I tried, again, after I click log in I get The page cannot be displayed!!

whatever, I chose a game that I'm confident will turn out the way I need it to. Just figured I'd save that team to win another week.

Good for the division my Broncos are in.

Bad for this pool. I'm out, thanks to Carolina.
