Members Dave Bryce Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 So, KSS football fans - are you ready for some football survival pool? For those of you who've never participated in or heard about one of these, the rules are simple: Each week, you pick one team to win. No point spreads, just a win.

Members Miket156 Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 Dave: I'm in. I sure hope I do better than last year! I got eliminated the FIRST week. Mike T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dave Bryce Posted August 31, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 Originally posted by Miket156 I sure hope I do better than last year! I got eliminated the FIRST week. Don't feel badly - we lost around half the players in Week 1 of the previous year... Week 1 is the toughest one, because you just don't know what anyone's gonna do yet. I made it to Week 2 last year, and was eliminated by taking Pittsburgh for what would be their only loss of the freakin' regular season... dB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rabid Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 I think those of us that chose Miami (Was it Miami?) last year should get a free pass for the first round. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the year before last, I believe... Yes, it was Miami, and they got beat by the Texans, if memory serves. I was also a victim of that game. No one would have taken Miami in Week One of last year, with the Ricky Williams thing 'n all. dB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members steadyb Posted August 31, 2005 Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 The rest of week one looks too unpredictable to me, and I don't want to use the Seahawks or Patriots in week one, even though those would have been my other week one choices.

Members Dave Bryce Posted August 31, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2005 Denver, Houston and Carolina all look pretty good to me (in addition to the Rams, of course). I also think Chicago may have a good year, and don't think they'll have a problem with the 'skins. dB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Magpel Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Man, week one is tough! It's dangerous to pick beofre the final preseason game, but I'll do it anyway: WASHINGTON over chicago, in a mighty defensive struggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dave Bryce Posted September 1, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 Originally posted by SirGarrote is it ok if we NEVER pick our home team? (lions ) Actually, a good strategy is to find a team to bet against...nothing wrong with picking the same loser every week - it's only the winner that you can't use more than once. dB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antematter Posted September 1, 2005 Members Share Posted September 1, 2005 I'm in! Not sure who to pick yet. Maybe Denver, or Carolina, or St. Louis or Green Bay... Excellent opening week of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John, you've brought up an important point regarding the rules: are we still allowed to change our minds right up until deadline time? If so, then I'll take Minnesota at home over Tampa Bay. Otherwise, I'll wait. Best, Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
