    Default Football Pool

    The NFL season officially starts on Thursday, September 6th followed by a full slate of games on Sunday the 9th.

    Anyone interested in making picks for bragging rights? I can setup a system for handling all our picks if enough people are interested. Also, if enough are interested, we can make a 'small donation' in the beginning and the winner at the end of the regular season takes it all! We can have a vote on who handles the donations.

    Post here if you're interested. I'll start scouting out a way to handle the picks!

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    My grandfather, grandmother, and my mom are all gone, so I will have to "rekindle" an extended family relationship to get any info. I will try, though.

    I would like to have at least 10 participants but I suppose I can have just as much fun wiping the floor with just a few.

    Let's give you a little test on pre-season:

    Ny Giants vs NY Jets - 8pm tonight

    And since it's only pre-season, give me your thoughts on how the first stringers perform!

    Preseason.....not really my thing, i'll bet you i've watched a total of 1 quarter of preseason football this year but i'll give it a crack anyway.

    Eli Manning does not impress me, I don't think he gets Shockey involved early and enough...........Always liked Chad Pennington although he is injury prone, the Giants D is aging, Jets D is decent............I give edge to Jets tonight.
