No, you pick one team to win every week. And you can only pick that team once. Pick a new team each week.

You don't want to pick all of the good teams early in the year, because it will leave you with shit teams at the end. Got to play the match ups and what not.

Yeah, which sucks, but we're all in the same boat. Except for AHarrigan or something, who was on the ball and the only one to join before the season started, ha.

Weeeeoooooo I'm tied for 11th. I kind of have an idea of what I have done now... I guess for every team that's eliminated you get a point if you guess correctly?

You get a point for every week that you correctly choose a winner. As the season goes on, it gets harder because you can only use each team once, meaning that anyone you have already picked can not be used again.

I think I had tried to join this group but must have screwed up somehow. Anyways I'm 4-0 on my entry that nobody can see.

I can't remember my picks. So each week is going to be a surprise for me.

(I'm sure I can find it, but I would just rather live on the dangerous side of life.)

yah, I don't watch much football. I watch the superbowl and maybe every now and then I'll watch a seahawks game. Brother in law is a huge seahawks fan. I have been getting more into football lately though.
