Six-Pack Pick'em Challenge: Week 2

Post by APB »

Image

That pretty much sums up the collective pick performances from week 1... :lol:

I thought Packer fans were supposed to be knowledgeable!?! Maybe @Raptorman is right?? Maybe we are in over our heads as football experts??

...although I guess we'll never know since he's not participating. ;)

Anyway, a few players managed three measly correct picks to take week one top honors. I won't bother listing them all here...except to say I was among them. ;) :aok:

And the upset picks? Not a single one of us picked an upset winner. Ugh.

Anyway, it's a new week and new picks! Hope, once again, abounds!!
The rules are simple:
Choose a winner from the four select games of the week
Choose a winner from the Packers matchup
Choose an upset winner from any weekly matchup
The upset pick can be from the previous five games already in play or any of the other weekly NFL matchups on the schedule, so long as your chosen underdog victor was listed as a kickoff dawg. For reference, a listing of Vegas odds can be found here.

I will maintain a cumulative tally of correct choices with the winner declared at the end of the regular season. You'll get a mulligan for two weeks, be it forgotten picks or a bad week, but the rest are on you. The winner will be declared at season's end for the participant with the most correct picks. In the event of a tie, the participant with the most correct upset picks will be declared the winner.

Need motivation? The winner will receive a special gift from the Packers Pro-Shop from the Mod Team. See? Us Mods aren't all bad...
Now, on to the picks!

The Four:
NY Giants @ Washington Commanders
Cleveland Browns @ Jacksonville Jaguars
LA Rams @ Arizona Cardinals
Seattle Seahawks @ New England Patriots

The One:
Indianapolis Colts @ Green Bay Packers

Your upset:

Good luck to all participants!

The running scores are below. The first column under each week indicates total correct picks, the second column your upset pick score.

Well I do manage the pick-em at my Vikings page so I can be a bit busy. But I'll play.

I will eat these words if I have to but I love the Bengals as a dog this week. For more reasons than 1.

Just kidding I'll never eat my words so anyone who tries to hold this old man accountable can $%@# right off. Week 2 baby let's go!

Picking Bengals at Chiefs... Ya, make sure you at least take the spread, but with chase on a snap count and Higgins hurting... Old Man Pizza might want to reconsider. ;)
