Just ponder them for now. I just need the New England pick before the game Thursday. Will figure out a system for posting everyone's picks.

If anyone wants, they can post their picks now. You can do it however you want. For example, you can say, "all underdogs", "all home teams except pitt...", etc. My powers of inference are formidable.

Also you can just list the odd numbered teams you want to pick and I will infer the missing even numbered picks.

$5 per week, winner take all. In case of a tie, winners will split.

Any grave errors in the list of games, of course notify me and I will correct. Anyone can change their picks, as long as it is before the game(s) in question.

Here are my WEEK 1 picks: "THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT DrMARK PICKS." I am serious.

By the way Dan, where was that picture taken and did you pay those girls to pose with you?

DanL said...

Those girls bought ME the beer. One wanted to give me a backrub right there in the bar. They were fawning all over me. They begged to babysit for little john. Two of them actually almost came to blows fighting over who got to sit next to me.

Internet stardom has its perks.

That was taken at Mary Ann's in Cleveland Circle.

OK - here goes. Went out for breakfast and Tom explained how point spread works. I thought it was something entirely different! My aim is to win this pool and show everyone how it pays to be smart in doing these things! Where do we send the money?
PS Loved my photos - you will pay! Love Auntie Vanda

Looks like a tie between Anne and DrMark with 2 games left. Someone will have to check that. Both with 5 losses.

Last night I had "family dinner" and Tom & Vanda, Lul, Mum & Dad were here. Tom was going over all the scores and coudn't believe how badly he had done. Dan, you had the right idea, just the wrong Doc.
