The DP dot com Football Pool

ouch

If I haven’t completely turned you off to watching some football games this season I was hoping that we could start a weekly football pool on the site. I will give the winner some cool shit at the end of the season. Prah’lee something from my apartment that I can’t use or be bothered with. It will be new to you so whatever…

Check it, we won’t use spreads or over/unders here. Straight up outright wins is all you need to predict. I’m not looking at every game just the ones that I think we care about. Here’s week 2’s lineup…

BUFFALO BILLS @ MIAMI DOLPHINS

Neither of these clubs are considered championship caliber, but neither wants to begin the season 0-2. I predict the BILLS.

DETROIT LIONS @ CHICAGO BEARS

Even though the BEARS whupped on BRETT FAVRE and the Pack I am going with the road team again. LIONS in a close one.

N.Y. GIANTS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGLES

N.F.C. East is the toughest division in the NFL. The EAGLES soared last week against HOUSTON and I think they will keep flying high when the GIANTS come to town. GIANTS lose and go to 0-2.

OAKLAND RAIDERS @ BALTIMORE RAVENS

The Raiders are worse that I thought. I expect RANDY MOSS to be in jail before the season is over. RAVENS roll.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ ATLANTA FALCONS
Ron Mexico has always had a tough time with Tampa, but this Tampa team couldn’t crush a grape in fruit fight. FALCONS get the win.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS @ DENVER BRONCOS
K.C. is the medicine that the BRONCOS are looking for to get their first win. HERM EDWARDS should keep the renovations at his new home in Johnson County to a minimum. BRONCOS stampede at Mile High.

WASHINGTON REDSKINS @ DALLAS COWBOYS
Dallas and Washington will both be desperate for a win this weekend. I predicted that the COWBOYS would be 12-4 this season and not 4-12. I need this win badly. COWBOYS scalp the ‘SKINS.

That was easy enough. What are your picks?

    7. Cowboys

  7. Shonquayshah says:

    not that i am all off into the pros, but here’s my pick and =reasons shy
    miami=still warm and they should do good in warm weather
    chicago=hard to say who is more ghetto, but im’a give it to the bears(they are my faves from the 80’s, anyone remember the super bowl shuffle? ish was wack, but they WERE un____wit’able!
    philly=when ever was giants not synonamous(sp) with wack-ness?
    RAIDERS= west coast love, i am originally from LA and we never had a better team than when they were in LA!
    atlanta=ron mexico would be needing to win so as he can afford a lifetime supply of valtrex (tee-hee! just kidding)
    denver=cause they are playing at home and used to the high a** altitude
    dallas=because i heart dallas penn + i live in texas now and these people are on some other ish when it comes to football and quite frankly, if i don’t root for the cowboys, i might get put out of the state! really…it’s scary (fiday night lights y’all!)

  8. Shonquayshah says:

  9. Fin says:

    Tampa (Go Bucs!)
    Denver
    Dallas

  10. Amadeo says:

    1) Bills (c’mon Lindell)
    2) Bears
    3) Eagles (even though I’m sick of hearing about T.O. in reference to every play McNabb makes
    4) Ravens (after what they did to the Bucs?!?!?!)
    5) Falcons
    6) Broncos (Without Roaf L.J. ain’t doing so good)
    7) Cowboys (this might be a heart pick cause Bledsoe is my fantasy QB)

  11. EL-A FROM THE D says:

    mia(ROSS)/chi(COM)/illy(ROOTS)/b-more(R.DeVAUGHN)/atl(KAST)/denv(KOBE??)/dallas(THE D.O.C.)

  12. LM says:

    All home teams…

    DOLPHINS
    BEARS
    EAGLES
    RAVENS
    FALCONS
    BRONCOS
    COWBOYS

    I’m a ‘Skins fan so I won’t mind being wrong, but I want to win whatever prize you’re putting out so I defer to my betting gut.

  13. S Dot says:

    DP:

    This is what I got for you

    1. Miami
    2. Bears
    3. Eagles
    4. Ravens
    5. Buccaneers
    6. Broncos
    7. Cowboys

    Redskins=most overrated team in NFC. Let me get this straight…they’re a “Superbowl contender” with a banged up Portis, a reckless safety (Sean Taylor), a brand new, complex offensive coordinator (Saunders) and…oh yeah….MARK F*CKING BRUNELL AT QUARTERBACK! Plus, my Iggles aren’t going to cough up 2 wings to the ‘Skins this year. Daniel Snyder better hope Tom Cruise’s voodoo can get them a W versus Dallas this week.

  14. mrkamoji says:

    Damn most picks are pretty consistant, not too many upsets being called. I do like that they are a lot of EAGLES fans out here though.

    Buffalo
    Chicago
    E-A-G-L-E-S
    Baltimore
    Tampa – after last week the gotta bounce back.
    Denver
    Dallas

  15. Candice says:

    Bills
    Bears
    GIANTS (who did the Eagles beat, Houston? They’re a damn JV squad)
    Ravens
    Falcons
    Broncos
    Cowboys

  16. prynsex says:

    Go Bengals!

    And opposite of what everybody else picked.

  17. Shonquayshah says:

    e-la from the d…i hear you! crazy!

  18. Candice says:

    How bout my Giants now? Yeah they sucked ass for three quarters but I keep telling you folks…the EAGLES will break your heart every time! LOVE IT!
