Hi, nana.
You know I'm always in for picking games.
As far as TS being around all season--wouldn't eBay just pick up the whole thread
and plop it down somewhere else?..and hopefully let us know where?
09-07-2016 02:12 PM
O.k then, I'll start us off, since the first game is tomorrow night there's no time to lose.
HEAR YE HEAR YE! TS 2016 NFL PICKS CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY UNDERWAY!
Very simple rules, I'll post the Week 1 games in the next post, and you can copy it. Picks are for game winner only, no points spreads. You can make your poicks by using BOLD or ITALICS on your team choice, or just list your winners. Play either just for the week or hang around all season for the year's total. In either case, the prize is unparalleled prestige.

Hi everyone. I played here with you at the end of last year (with a different ID).

Carolina at Denver...QB Mark Sanchez is now with the Cowboys, so the Broncos are going
with some no-name QB until Paxton Lynch is ready.
More picks before Sunday.
Yay, nana! I was starting to think we weren't gonna play this year. As usual, I'm having
technical difficulties--I'm posting this from a public computer--so I hope to have things
resolved before too long. (I have Vista and am running Internet Explorer 9, which eBay
informs me they no longer support...but I'm told by the Microsoft site that I have the
current version for Vista, so..?) My previous post was the last one I could manage.
Also...
Here's hoping blackbird shows up before Sunday's kickoff!
09-08-2016 07:06 AM
Hopefully T.S. will survive one more season. I'm a bit pressed as always, but I'll join you guys for the post season.
Some say that that's the easy time, since historically the home teams wins over 75% of the time in post season, but in the last few years, that hasn't been the case.
09-10-2016 07:44 AM
Carolina at Denver…Broncos 21, Panthers 20--stupid FG kicker!!
Green Bay at Jacksonville…hunch pick; Jags are loaded on defense
Buffalo at Baltimore...Rex Ryan wonders why McDonalds calls their burrito a ‘snack-wrap’
Chicago at Houston…this is supposedly Jadeveon Clowney’s breakout season--we’ll see.
Cleveland at Philadelphia...needy Browns used 5 of 14 draft picks on receivers (??)
TB at Atlanta…Falcons lost both games vs. Bucs in ‘15, but had better overall record
Minnesota at Tennessee…Bridgewater tore his ACL, so Vikes acquired Sam Bradford
Cincinnati at NY Jets…Bengals started strong last year, winning first 8 games
Oakland at New Orleans…the Raiders drafted a guy named Jihad
SD at Kansas City…in 2015, Bolts were 4-12; Chiefs won 11 straight before losing to NE
Miami at Seattle…unfriendly venue for Adam Gase in his debut as an NFL head coach
Detroit at Indianapolis…rumor has it that nobody on Colts’ defense scares anyone
NY Giants at Dallas…rookie QB Dak Prescott starts in place of injured Romo
New England at Arizona…Tom Brady sits at home, feeling somewhat deflated
Pittsburgh at Washington…uhh, could go either way
Los Angeles at San Francisco…Lambs lost several good defensive players to free agency,
then used 5 of 6 draft picks for offense; I saw Jared Goff
play here at Cal…great passer, but seems kind of frail
physically. The 49ers had 11 picks and really spread them
around, position-wise. Chip Kelly might do better than
some expect.

Week 1
Carolina at Denver I would have picked the Panthers b/c they want to get even, and the Broncs are w/o Manning. This is was a textbook example of BARELY losing the game.
Green Bay at Jacksonville
Buffalo at Baltimore
Chicago at Houston Da Bears stink this year.
Cleveland at Philadelphia
Tampa Bay at Atlanta
Minnesota at Tennesssee
Cincinnati at NY Jets
Oakland at New Orleans Raiders have improved the last couple seasons. Saints look like they've lost ground to me.
San Diego at Kansas City
Miami at Seattle
Detroit at Indianapolis
NY Giantts at Dallas
New England at Arizona Cards should take the NE Cheaters sans Brady.
Pittsburgh at Washington
09-11-2016 02:27 AM
Lambs at 49ers Niners suck this year and will be 5-11 at best.
09-12-2016 02:12 AM
blackbird made it in time!...glad one of the regulars is still with us.
Also welcome back to big.crybaby (you used to be cloak*and*swagger, right?)
Participation in the NFL Picks thread is UP a staggering 33% from last season. Boo-yaw.
Some interesting games on Sunday...the Raiders, with less than two minutes remaining vs.
the Saints, scored a touchdown--and instead of kicking the extra point and sending the game
into overtime, elected to go for the two-point conversion and the lead. They got it. The Saints
missed the long field goal attempt as time ran out....Speaking of missed field goals, Chandler
Catanzaro (Cardinals) joins Graham Gano (Panthers) as two kickers who will not be receiving
Christmas cards from me this year...
09-13-2016 07:05 AM
Welcome back Blackbird! The week 1 data for the Big Football Database (The BFD) has been entered and rechecked. CyyBaby and I tied at 11 wins, and Mark and Blackbird were just one back at 10. Good scores, looked to me as if home team was a big factor this week.
I'll have Week 2 up in plenty of time for Thursday's game.
