Football season is almost upon us again, and since the deadpool went over will last time, time to start it up again.
Rules are the same as last time, except this time you have the chance to win real* cash** prizes.
Here's the breakdown, for those of you who don't know what a deadpool is.
-Each week, you pick one team. Post that pick in this thread. Picks are due by kickoff of the first game that week. Your pick is not final until the kickoff, you may change your mind anytime before then. To enter, post your week 1 pick. No late entries.
-If the team you picked wins, you're still in. If that team loses, you're eliminated.
-Each week, you MUST pick a different team. You can't pick a team you've already picked in the deadpool, once you use them, you can't go back to them.
-The last person standing wins. If during one week, all remaining players are eliminated, then instead they all remain in the contest. Their picks for that week still cannot be used again.
-No-shows: Anyone who doesn't submit a pick by the deadline will be assigned a random last-place team as their pick. Anyone who misses two weeks in a row is dropped.
The winner of the deadpool contest will receive a $10 gift card to Amazon.com. They will also be eligible for bonus prizes during the Playoff Pick-em Challenge. If the deadpool goes all the way to the end of the season and multiple players remain, everyone still in will split $20.
If the deadpool finishes early enough, it will be restarted for a second round. The winner of the second round will not win a prize, but still be eligible for bonuses in the Playoff Pick-em.
Deadline to enter is September 9th, at 8:30 PM EST!. So if you want in, have your pick posted before then. Good luck!
*well, virtual
**an Amazon.com gift certificate is kinda like cash, right?

Are all these "Go My Favorite Team!" posts first week picks? Or just a bunch of fluff?
As for me, "Whoever the Raiders are playing against" is usually a solid pick, so I'm going with the Titans,

I'm in. Last year I made it all the way to Week 17 with two other guys. I picked Denver over KC. The other guys picked Jets over Cincy.
They both finished with perfect seasons, I fell one week short.
FUCK YOU BRONCOS!!!

No, you didn't make a pick. "Go Jaguars" isn't a pick. :p

I'm going to go with my Niners getting a great start to their playoff season by creaming the Chiefs. Go Niners!
Edit: For some reason, my NFL schedule defaulted to Week 3 which is when the 49ers play the Chiefs. Week 1 is against Seattle, but the Niners will still remain my pick for this week.

He can if he wants. Your choice isn't final until kickoff.
He just didn't make it clear that was his choice. And before you get all anal on me, at least one other person -did- say they weren't making a pick there, they were just shouting out to their team.

No, I agree that you have to specifically say "I pick blah blah for Week 1" for it to count. I just like seeing people pick shitty teams in these pools in Week 1.
Take the Jags, lava!
