Okay guys we've got alot of work to do to erase the memory of last week! Yikes! Here's hoping we have better luck in Week 3.

If you missed out on Week 1 or 2, you are invited to join in this week. For those who have played, the rules are the same. And for those who would like to play its really quite easy. Each week, I will post the complete schedule of NFL games for the coming week. You simply predict the winner of each game. We don't need no stinkin' point spreads here! Here's how you do it:


1. Pick the winners in EACH game.

2. Predict how many points the team you pick to win the designated Game of the Week will win by. This week, its the Bills at Broncos, as selected by last weeks winner, Theo. This will be used for tiebreak purposes.

3. All picks are due by kickoff of the opening game of that weekend. Thankfully, there are no games until Sunday. So your picks are due by 1pm Eastern time Sunday.


4. Picks MUST be submitted either via the Private Message function or E-mail. My email address is geolovevikes@yahoo.com. I must ask that you do not post your picks here. That way I can ensure picks are submitted before the deadline. Please include your Outsports nickname with your picks! Any questions, email me.

Only 14 games this week, as the Raiders, Steelers, Jaguars and Ravens have a bye week.


Here are the games:

Sunday 9/22

1. Jets at Dolphins
2. Browns at Titans
3. Saints at Bears
4. Cowboys at Eagles
5. Colts at Texans
6. Chiefs at Patriots
7. Panthers at Vikings
8. Seahawks at Giants
9. Chargers at Cardinals
10. Packers at Lions
11. Redskins at 49ers
12. Bills at Broncos (TIEBREAK GAME!!!)
13. Bengals at Falcons

Monday 9/23

14. Rams at Buccaneers

Happy picking!

Why is the Bills-Broncos game the tie breaker?

Just over 24 hours to enter this week's contest!

I decided to allow the winner from the previous week to pick the Game of the Week for the next week's game. Theo picked the Bills-Broncos. And the way this and last season have gone, its as good a choice as any. Last week, many wondered why Philly-Washington wasn't GOTW, and it ended up being a blow out.

Anyway, more picks from:

PCC
JoeinPhilly
AubieinBham

Hey George! When ya gonna post your summary of this weeks picks?

Just so I can't be accused of any monkey business, here are my picks:

1. Dolphins
2. Browns
3. Saints
4. Eagles
5. Colts
6. Patriots
7. Vikings (last chance, Ticey boy!)
8. Giants
9. Chargers
10. Packers
11. 49ers
12. Broncos (by 4)
13. Falcons
14. Rams

(Edited to take Chargers instead of Cardinals)

PCC, the Broncos-Bills game is the tiebreaker because I won the pick'em last week and I got to chose. Additionally, I'm a big fan of ED McCaffrey and the Broncos, and personally will find this game the most intriguing followed closely by the Bears/Saints. When you win the weekly pick'em, George will oblige and let you pick the game of the week. Until then, tell George how badly you think the Broncos are going to whip up on Bledsoe and Co.

Theo, get real! Just because you have the hots for Ed McAffrey (my fantasy football WR) doesn't give you the right to pick the game of the week! LOL!

Bill, I have a feeling there are quite a few guys here that would back me up on this one!
