OK folks, this is an awesome idea inspired by thefix and explosivo.

Here are the rules:

Each week you submit your picks for the weeks NFL games.

We are picking only the winner, not against the spread.

The tie breaker will be based on total points scored in the Monday night game.

Picks must be submitted and "50 cash" donated to Sonny by 1 hour prior to kick off of the first game. So if the first game starts at 1:00 est on Sunday you picks should be in by noon.

Either myself or thefix will tally the scores each week and list the winner on Tuesday.

All cash bet will then be donated to the winner by Sonny on Tuesday.

This should be a lot of fun. Good luck to everyone. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask on this thread or pm me.

You can also make picks just for fun, but if you don't donate the cash, you can't win the cash.

Check out my picks below to see a blue print of how to bet.

St. Louis over New Orleans
Pittsburgh over Miami
Indianapolis over Green Bay

Ok folks we've got a slight problem. When donations are sent to me, I do not receive a memo telling me I have received an X point donation from Y user.

Thefix says he sent me 50 points and I believe him but I can not confirm this.

Any Ideas?

Rick we could use your help here. :confused:

^^^^^ i'll donate 50 points to you again and put a link of my conformation page. just take my 50 points off next week. hope this works.

i couldnt get a link put i did copy and paste this.

Betting is back. Thanks guys

Ok folks, I've thought about it and decided we will be using the honor system. I will "bank the cash regularly so i can keep track of who payed. Just let me know by pm or on this thread when you have donated the 50 points.

So far we have Sonny, Queen City, and Thefix paid for this week.

Have you paid yet Explosivo?

Tell me when you add College Football to the mix.
Once you do I'll be ready to lay down some REAL points on UT! :P

I'll tell you what Dr. I will give you the opportunity to support your Longhorns every week they play this season. This will be a side bet if you agree to it.

Texas plays Rice this week which is a monumental mismatch. You can take Texas -39 for 50 points if you'd like. Let me know.

lol You're going to have to break this down for me.
I'm not familiar with football betting.

Ok, It's simple.

If Texas wins by 39 points it's a push and we both keep our cash.

If Texas wins by more than 39 you win 50.

If Texas wins by less than 39 I win 50.

If Texas loses, Hell will freeze over. :eek:

Alright, I have faith in my team.
I'll bet the 349 I have in my pocket right now that Texas will win by 39 or more points.

349! I said 50. I'll tell you what, we'll make it an even 200 ok?

349! I said 50. I'll tell you what, we'll make it an even 200 ok?
Nah, let's make it 300.
I'll even front you the extra points so you can bet 300 as well.
How does that sound?

There you go.
I gave you 300, now you have no reason not to match the bet. :)

Nah, let's make it 300.

Heh

Ok, sounds good.

Good.
Now what do I do?

Good.

Now we wait until Saturday and see what the score is. If Texas wins by more than 39 I pay you, If they win by less than 39 you pay me.

250, but people have until Sunday morning to get their picks in so I'm hoping to at least double or triple that amount.

Rick should lock this thread saturday night so no one can cheat and change picks

^^^^^ he should people are going to want to cheat

^^^^^ he should people are going to want to cheat

You are the official scorer. What you should do is print each persons picks Sunday morning and score those so if some one tries to cheat it won't count. I will do the same as a back up.

We've got 5 people right now and there are 3 or 4 other people who said they will make picks. I'm hoping for a minimum of 10 participants.

I (thats right, ME) win all the points in the pot, so to speak :p (Did the "chicken" call draw ya'll out??) :D

sonny asked me yesterday but I was looking under the betting thing, not the forums,lol I am silly, so what did you think of the Toney fight? Wild man huh? Pumps up the audience

sonny asked me yesterday but I was looking under the betting thing, not the forums,lol I am silly, so what did you think of the Toney fight? Wild man huh? Pumps up the audience

Other than being a bit boring, the fight was alright. I try so hard to like Toney, but the way he disrespect's the crowd and the other boxer's really get's on my nerves, and I sat there wishing somebody in the audience would flatten him out. Sorry, but it's the truth!

Come on chickens..place yer bets :D :D

May I play the game too? I would like to play the game, because it is probably a fun game. Tracylee, you said chickens. It sounds funny. I just sent Sonny 50 points. I am not certain how to play this game. I will try my best.

i wrote down everybodys picks it is 10:30 eastern time saturday
no more people can enter...sorry.
the pot is at 450 points

Unless you know a little about American football, you might not want to try. But if you want to be in the next one, all you do is go over the new posted list of NFL team's playing and give your pick's as to who you think will win each game. Then for Monday Night Football you pick a winner and how many point's you think will be scored in the entire game between both teams. Hope I'm not confusing you :)

Tracylee, I read your post carefully, and I think I understand. You wrote the words very good. I know nothing about football, I never watch it. I saw you were asking people to play, so I thought I would try. If I play, I will just try to guess. I will try to pick the correct cities.

THat's pretty much all you can do..guess. There is never any guarantee who will win anyway. They will put up next week's list soon and you just pick a winner from each game and your in! Good luck :)

Berfore my wife understood football better she used to enter and win her office pool all the time by picking the team with the guys with the nicer butts. :) So it just goes to show anyone can win.

bigdlb12, you need to give a guess at the total score for the washington - Dallas game.

Interesting technique! I like that :D

Sonny, you said want to be a member of my club. I hope you still want to be a member. Very few people get to be a member. I also want to play your football game. I will write you very soon, and I will introduce you to the club, and explain everything to you. I will talk to you again soon.

i wonder what that club is? Taty, Winter, Nictf cker and Sonny...sounds like fun

Myself, Taty, Winter and the wife sounds a lot funner. :D :D

Gators win today?

Yeah, 20-3 over Kentucky. It wasn't an overwhelming win, but I have to give credit to both defenses. Also, once again Chris Leak was outstanding, and receivers/backs dropped some wide open passes. We just got a #1 Gator jersey for my son and a Gator cheerleader outfit for my daughter which they wore today at the club. They were pretty cute.

I miss college football. It is much better than the NFL. I watch as many games as possible,but it's hard to keep up. Unfortunately, Saturdays are spent on Pop Warner,Softball,Baseball and Soccer fields for me. I can't follow my beloved UCLA Bruins, except for in the paper and sportscenter. When those damn kids get out of my hair, Saturdays will be the "don't bother Dave zone"

Might be a bad idea to buy the kids Gator stuff, they might start robbing liquor stores..lol

Powder blue would be much better

GOOOOOOO GIIIIIANTSSSSSSS!!!!

With 7 finals in jose is the early leader at 6-1

So far I've got 6 right and 2 wrong...not bad :confused:

jose is 7-1

jose is 7-1

Well, if GreenBay doesnt get the act together my number's are gonna get worse anyway!! :mad:

The Seattle game is looking like a blowout.

Yeah, it look's like Jose is gonna win this time...oh well :(

Not so fast my friend.

Not so fast my friend.


Considering that GreenBay is getting slaughtered and you said Seattle was a blow out, it sure doesnt look good; unless there's someone else that was close to my pic's and they're doing better :confused:

Well, GreenBay is trying to make a comeback, but my Seattle call was a very, very bad one.. :D

There are 2 Sunday night games and a Monday Night game as well.

Indy-green bay is over barring a miracle.

GO SEAHAWKS!!!!!!!!!!! I betted against my team.

Unofficial Update:

Jose 10-1

Sonny, Marvdave 8-3

Thefix, Queencity, tracylee, bigdlb12, dodge 7-4

Explosivo, Yoko 6-5

wow, I'm not looking so good. The way they looked today I guess I'll have to stop picking my Bengals.

wow, I'm not looking so good. The way they looked today I guess I'll have to stop picking my Bengals.


I have that problem too sometimes. It's hard to paick against my favorite team even if I think they will lose. The good news is there are still 14 weeks left to make picks on so I hope nobody gets discouraged.

with only three games remaining thefix,sonny and the leader jose are still alive. my remaining three picks are different from jose which makes it still possible to catch jose. sonny can also tie because two of his three remaining picks are different form jose's.

for thefix to tie jose = washington,miami,and oakland must win.
for sonny to tie jose = oakland and washington must win.
for jose to win = any loss by washington or oakland

Oakland baby!

Come on Steelers get your heads out of your ass and put these guys away!

Well Oakland aint gonna lose, but I have faith in Dallas being up for the big Monday night game and pulling it out.

I'd already have this damn thing locked up if The Cardinals won like they should have. 3 turnovers in the red zone is just unacceptable.

Am I out of it already or what?

well, it was fun anyway. I couldnt keep up with it as well as I wanted to cause my daughter has strep-throat. Good luck to the front-runners! :)

It's going to come down to the Monday night game, as it should.

It's going to come down to the Monday night game, as it should.


You will lose, I must break you

I can't wait. A match up of two of the greatest coaches in NFL history.

I think if Washington wins we will be tied and it comes down to who was closest in the points.

damn steelers if they hadnt won id still be in. i will win next week :p .if washington does win it will be whoever is closet in points in which i favor sonny. jose it seemed for a while you had it locked up :D

I went with my heart and bet on the Cardinals and to top it off they actually should have won that game

^^^^^ that was an ugly game. cards should have won but too many mistakes hurt them

Pass interference on who???!!!

Cough, cough, bullshit...

lol

Hey congrats jose, 500 points on the way.

Dont feel bad theres always next week.

Dont feel bad theres always next week.

Yup :cool:

That was a great goal line stance.

Pass interference on who???!!!

Cough, cough, bullshit...

lol

Hey congrats jose, 500 points on the way.

Exactly! Dallas interfered first...ah well, football would be boring (fair) without those good 'ole officials. What did you think of Parcells challenging the first down in the 4th? I thought it was stupid; at best they would have moved what, a link? and got it anyway and it cost the Cowboy's a timeout.

I crashed and burned in the afternoon games; I was holding my own till the 4 pm games began. What a bitch!! :mad:
