Work football pool..Opinions on my pick.
Ok so it's a suicide football pool. We are allowed to pick a team only once a season. No point spreads. Two losses and we are out.
I am going to pick Steelers over the Browns.
I see the spread is 6.5 but since we don't use the spread it shouldn't matter. What does everyone think?

Re: Work football pool..Opinions on my pick.
i see the browns are home, which makes this a tough pick
steelers are a better team, but it's the first week and all the home teams are gonna be amped for the opener

go with your gut
i don't want to tell you what to pick and then you lose and the steelers win
but IMO, jags will take that game - even though it has the potential to be a knock down dragout

Sorry but I can't imagine you'd want my picks. I base on which co-worker I last spoke to & where they're from.

Re: Work football pool..Opinions on my pick.
Steelers over the Browns.. for sure. But suicide pool makes it complicated.
I think the only lock this week is New England (over the Jets).
The only upset Im picking for the week in our pool (which is a 16-point allocation pool) is the Ravens over the Bengals.. but its an emotional pick as DH and I are big Ravens fans

Sorry!!! 
I absolutely HATE HATE HATE New England... and everything about them...
But they are a monster this year... and the Jets.. not so much.
The only comfort I have is that Im convinced they won't go further than the first round of the playoffs... you heard it here first.

Re: Work football pool..Opinions on my pick.
don't let the Jets fool you either
we're not monsters, but we can hit you on a dime
highly likely that the pats will win, but there's no guarantee

 I used to make my picks based on which city I'd been to or wanted to go to. Came in 2nd.

All good picks. I am going to have to sit down tonight while my wife is at grad school and do some research. By doing research I mean playing Madden on my 360 and playing some teams against each other.

My 360 name is seank1980. Exciting right? It used to be seank80 but I got banned with my original xbox so now Micro$oft thinks I am someone else.
There have been plenty of good suggestions so far and I will have to ponder them for a bit more. I have until tomorrow afternoon to get my pick in.

Re: Work football pool..Opinions on my pick.
here's the deal on Sunday's Jet game
i am not naiive enough to think the game is in our bag
There's a very good chance we will lose. The Pats are superhuman
That said - it's all about HOW we lose
remember, it's the home opener, so the crowd and the players will be juiced
if we go out there and play competitively and lose a close one, then we can say we played well, but got beat by the better team.
if we go out there and get blown out, then that's a problem - even in week 1. Winning the AFC Championship, making a playoff run - lives and dies with the Pats. If we can't play competitively with them at home, we have problems
There's a very real chance that we go 0-2 the first 2 weeks. We have a VERY tough schedule.
