Note: This round of the deadpool is over. Not Sure has won. Again. If you want to get in on the second round, find the appropriate topic.
I said I would. So I will.
A deadpool is a very simple concept. Each week, you pick one team. If that team wins, you stay in. If they lose, you're out. Each week, you pick a new team.
As a prize? I dunno. Maybe Syd still has some pop tarts?
Rules and regs:
*Each week, you pick a team. Picks are due just before the first game that week. You can't pick a team that you've picked in a past week.
*If your chosen team wins, you stay in. If they lose, you're out. You can continue picking teams if you really, really want, but it doesn't count.
*If you don't pick a team one week, you automatically get assigned a random team that has the worst record. Miss two weeks in a row, you're out.
*If during a week, all remaining players are eliminated, the week doesn't count. All people eliminated that week are back in.
*When one person is left, they win. If there's enough time left in the season, we start over again.
Note that the unofficial "picks from the grave" doesn't have to follow these rules.

Awesome, and I love it. (And, I assume you mean the first week of regular season...)
My pick: Dallas Cowboys.
Yes I risk leaving early (I would pick the Cardinals, I think, if I wanted to play it safe.) But its the first game of the season and I'm a diehard fan, and my life has no meaning if we lose the first game of the year, so Cowboys it is.)

I may seem like an ESPN homer but why not start a group on ESPN. It's called the eliminator on their and no one would have to send you picks and we could see where everyone stands.

I'm more of a hands-on person. And I see no reason the picks need to be secret.
Besides, here, I can set my own rules and keep some more control over things.
And I actually come here every day anyways, I don't want to have to slog through ESPN's site.

The first week is such a crap shoot since you really have no idea how anyone will be...but I'll go with the New England Patriots, I think Brady will come back big! So far two picks...and both users pick their favorite teams!

Count me in...pick to come when the season is closer....I was just looking at the schedule, why the hell does the season start so late? First Sunday games aren't until the 13th.

And I'll go with my Lions like I did last year. (We all know how that went)
It was just a friendly suggestion Satsui. Silly Rabbit internet is for kids.

Looking for an early exit, huh?
Hey, you make a suggestion, I explained the reason why I didn't take it. No malice intended.
I'll pick my team later on. Just a note, you can change your mind until the deadline.
And man, I didn't know it was a month away. Nuts.

Normally, I'd go with my 49ers, but they still haven't signed Crabtree and they're going up against Arizona, so I'm not so sure about that pick.
So, with 4 weeks left in the preseason, I think I'll wait a few weeks to see how teams look before making my pick.

Thought I forgot about this, did you?
Deadline to enter is September 10th, at opening kickoff. There are no continues, my friend. And don't even think of using turbo, or I'll know.
And I'll go with the Jets. They lost Favre and are playing the Texans. Two bonuses.

So your picking a team that has a rookie QB, One decent reciever and an alright running back...against Andre Johnson, Steve Slaton, Owen Daniels, Walters, Davis, and Schaub? You better hope the Jets D shows up.
Also I'm changing from the Lions week one to the Cowboys.
If anyone wants a sure pick go with Baltimore over the Chiefs.
