14 players so far.  I believe the first regular season game is Thursday night.  Get your picks locked in prior to the Steelers and Titans game this coming Thursday.

Bang the Chains is in and ready to rock.  McManus, is your highest confidence pick Green Bay over Chicago?  If not, then you must be slowly turning into a Bears fan   :)

I am guessing you have the Bears for 16.  You will see the thunder and fury of my picks once they are locked in. Just to give you a little preview of the beatdown you are going to get this year, I have the Titans for 16 and the Raiders for 15.

19 players to date.  All weeks count, so if you plan on getting in do it soon.  Just over 24 hours to kickoff.  J. Cutler is already doing some trash talking.

Hey JDunk, get back in the game.  It is a long season and there are bag weeks for everyone. My pick of the Packers last week was brilliant.

ah, crap. There was something weird going on w/ Yahoo last week, and it refused to register 3 of my picks. I think I had two of them correct, too.

I was doing pretty well but this is a severe blow to my hopes of that $100,000 prize.  ;) oh well, ez come, ez go.....

At least it was a bye week with lower scores. I have seen people come back from that.

Only 112pts last week for the current leader? That's pretty weak.

I had a gut feeling on the Steelers not showing up (throwing in the terrible towel if you will) and only put a confidence of 10 on that game which gives me an advantage on the top 3.  I think this is the week I make a big move on the leaders......

And I've got Washington with confidence 4 while everybody else has NYG.  If Washington wins, I'll be just 11 back and still gaining Tom.

Is it panic mode yet?  Crazy pick time?  Or can you stay the course and pass up 5 other players?

if Vikings win tonight, this will be a tight 4 man race to see who wins. #1 will only be 7 points ahead of #4.
Going to be interesting.

Here are the final standing for Pro Football Pickem.  I went 14-2 the last week to take the overall lead for the first time.  Doug and Dan both were champs for 3 weeks.  I think that the Wizard (Tom S) would have finished at or near the top if he would have got his picks in. We will run this next year and have people put up a disc if they are interested in getting in.

I am pretty sure the Steelers are responsible for you trailing by 32 points.  I am joking.
