2013 NFL Pick 7 Pool

Yup, tough week. There were only two I knew off the bat.

Just sent mine; sorry for the late hour.

Shit, forgot tiebreak number. Just sent that too, second email.

Got it.

We should have at least two new people playing as soon as the pool opens up again (bronto's bro and one of my co-workers).

As a matter of efficiency, I picked the Niners. So I can be eliminated before Sunday even starts.

We've had people pick underdogs (sometimes correctly). But this week, for the first time, we've had people pick both sides of a game. Three times: Cowboys/Chargers, Cardinals/Bucs and Giants/Chefs.

All fifteen games selected, eighteen teams to try to choose seven winners. No one picked the undefeated Patriots or the 3-0 Dolphins. Or the 2-1 home dog Lions. Am I putting too much thought/effort into this game? (So far, a lot more amusing than I expected.)

I think most of it is due to the tough matchups - there were a ton of 'easy' picks last week (49ers, vikings, broncos, seahawks, saints) that we don't have this week.

My buddy who took the Giants is a die-hard fan, and he only took them because he couldnt make up his mind on the seventh team to pick.

For future reference, I allow re-buys if you lose on Thursday.

Mine are in. Thanks, Keg.

I nearly picked da Raduhs on that basis. Well, except for the die-hard part. I am taking them and the points this weekend. Yeah, just when I thought I was out…

The 'team most likely to destroy this week's Pick 7 round' is looking like the Browns, as of early 2nd half, early games. Everyone but Pruitt and Bronto has the Ben-Gals.

Pot rolls over again...

howard · Post by **howard** » Sun Sep 29, 2013 3:47 pm

That was ugly. Steelers and Bears pick off Bronto and Pruitt. The Browns massacre the rest of us.

howard · Post by **howard** » Sun Sep 29, 2013 3:59 pm

In the spirit of disclosure, I did not throw down on the Raiders (Matt Flynn scared me off). But I did bet $50 on the Lions, so I got that going for me.

Always happy to lose on the Steelers!

See Mike Tomlin after the game?

His head just may explode soon...

I am now accepting picks for Week 5.

Seems like another tough week...

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Tue Oct 01, 2013 3:04 pm

Pot should be 195 simoleans.

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Fri Oct 04, 2013 3:40 pm

bump

still missing quite a few picks...

Steve of phpBB · Post by **Steve of phpBB** » Fri Oct 04, 2013 3:58 pm

Shhhh.

howard · Post by **howard** » Sun Oct 06, 2013 2:24 pm

When I go 0-7, (for which I am strongly on track), I assume I will be the first. Looks like I picked the wrong week to stay on the Patriots' jock.

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Sun Oct 06, 2013 4:00 pm

Pot rolls over if the Broncos lose.

kranepool · Post by **kranepool** » Mon Oct 07, 2013 10:49 pm

I'd blow a goat for a rollover.

howard · Post by **howard** » Mon Oct 07, 2013 11:01 pm

Roy taken out by a dominating Raiders' win in the early hours of Monday.

Bronto, in the clubhouse, practically counting his money, needing only the Falcons to handle the J-E-T-S.

Not to be. Rollover. Goat has been ordered.

ETA: Don't feel bad, Bronto; every card had the Falcons picked.

Next week currently has six games with spreads of 8 or more. J'ville down to +27.5 at Denver.

Holy crap, I had no idea I had the other six right. Son of a freaking bitch.

Pot is up to $260 this week.

DEN -7000

I like it.

I'll bet you a dollar.

Counter offer: I'll give you Jacksonville +50,000, but you gotta bet $1,000.

Tempting...

But no...

I won't be able to update the spreadsheet until I get home, but my buddy (Matt) took the Giants again...

If I really thought you had $500,000 (or that you were serious about parting with it), I'd take that bet and hope Peyton Manning gets in a car wreck this week.

kranepool · Post by **kranepool** » Thu Oct 10, 2013 5:47 pm

For $500k, I'd drive to Denver and personally run him over.

But seriously, intoxicated Ryan Leaf on the Broncos could beat the Jaguars.

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Sun Oct 13, 2013 1:46 pm

Everyone who took the Texans is on their way to an early exit.

howard · Post by **howard** » Sun Oct 13, 2013 2:56 pm

I thought I needed to trust either the Texans or the BenGals. Wrong choice (at least Cincy has a shot at winning in regulation, tied with a minute left.)

howard · Post by **howard** » Sun Oct 13, 2013 3:34 pm

A week with plenty of big favorites, Bronto picks 1 point road favorites Eagles. Steve picks seven point dog Rams. They are the only two who survived to the late games. Both need Niners and Seahags; nether picked either of the prime time games. Steve 42, Bronto 47 for the tiebreak, which is where this is likely headed. Hex hex hex come on Titans. I mean good luck fellas.

I'm sorry, 'pool. You picked the Lions. A natural mistake on my part.

Apologies to kranepool. He is also tied, with the bold pick of the Lions as 2.5 road favorites. Colts and Bolts combine for 55 or more points tomorrow night, he takes the pot.

Steve of phpBB · Post by **Steve of phpBB** » Sun Oct 13, 2013 7:21 pm

What are the chances that a monsoon hits San Diego tomorrow night? I need a low score.
