930 Board Survival Football Pool

I gotta say, this first week is tough. There just aren't any studs playing cheesepuffs. Heck, the widest spreads are 6.5 (Titans @ JAGUARS and PATRIOTS @ Jets), and it's not hard to imagine either of those going to the underdog.

What really floors me is that the Chargers (at home) are 6-point favorites over the Bears.

Seattle has the lowest week 1 winning percentage in NFL history.

Maybe true but:

Seattle has won three of its last four season openers and holds a 6-1 all-time advantage on Tampa Bay, including a 23-7 win last Dec. 31, which clinched the NFC West title.

Yes, I am aware. Thanks.

Why do i have a feeling vansmack is just bidding on something on ebay :D

Now I know who the rich people on this list are. They probably all went to good colleges, too.

If you have $100 to blow on a suicide pool, 6949, then:

1.) I don't feel sorry for you for being an Eagles fan.

2.) I don't feel sorry for what you're going to catch from Matt Leinert.

Brian

don't confuse willingness to gamble with wealth. ever been to a casino? ain't all rich folk there.

BTW, is your "They probably all went to good colleges, too" some sort of an indictment? going to a good school is a bad thing? people of less priviledged origins don't want to, and/or never do, go to good colleges?

EDIT: in order to get in on the walalce pity-train, i've just joined the side bet. seems only fair, given that i've been pitying brian for a some time now.

which reminds me… when is the boardie roadtrip to atlantic city? ha. we obviously all have a gambling problem… however, the $100 sidebet is a bit rich for my blood. I'll stick to the nickel slots. Thanks.

You can see each week's deadline on the "my picks" page.

If you haven't picked for this week yet, you have about 19 minutes left.
