2002 Football Pool

[Stop Laughing]

Are you ready for some football? Baseball been boring you to death? This pool should helo you out! Here's the schedule for week 1, I'll leave out the Thursday games since it's hard to get everyone's picks in before Thursday here (especially when I post the schedule on Wednesday ), and anyone that wants to get in but doesn't know how it workd, here's how it's scored:

For each game, you have to pick the winner, and then put a point value on it, from 1 to however many games there are (max is 16 this year, it'll usually be 15 or 16). Each number can only be used once, and all numbers then of course must be used. If the team you chose won, you get those points, if they lose or tie, you get 0. The tiebreaker is total points on the Monday night game, closest wins.

And we begin with Week 1's schedule (15 games, Thursday's San Francisco at N.Y. Giants game is skipped; all times are Eastern) :

SUNDAY'S GAMES
Arizona at Washington, 1:00 pm
Atlanta at Green Bay, 1:00 pm
Baltimore at Carolina, 1:00 pm
Detroit at Miami, 1:00 pm

What should be expected from Week 1? The Rams losing? The Panthers winning for the first time in 364 days? How about the game winning interception by the Saints in Tampa Bay's end zone? Kansas City winning on Cleveland's flat out stupidity? The Bears may have been the only team that actually did what was expected: another come from behind win.
