Yeah, I at least need that Thursday game pick in - so lets go Carolina.

Thursday:
Carolina

The rest will follow as soon as I get the time to even look at the schedule. The only one I know for sure is that I will pick the Vikings even though I have no idea what to think about their QB situation. But suck it up and pick them, they have a few months before the heart break really hits.

I, for one, think that "Bann Tann" jokes would be funny. So, there.

My picks...

Carolina
Tampa Bay
Baltimore
Houston
Green Bay
Kansas City
Oakland
Cincinnati
Philadelphia
Tennessee
Seattle
New York Giants
Indianapolis
Arizona
Pittsburgh
San Francisco

I will be quite busy during the NFL Season and am going on another mission trip to the Philippines in December

If I can manage to keep up with the NFL Schedule each week then I will play it out as far as I am able

Thursday
Carolina

Gee..what happened way back in Superbowl 50?

Hmmmmmm........

So it is a new QB.

Ok, I still have 5 minutes - I'm going with Denver tonight!

And yeah, I'll figure out the others soon.

Wow did not see that one coming lol. Ok season has started with an upset should be very interesting from this point on. Good Luck Everyone.

Nomad I see above you changed your pick. Was that 5 mins before the game?

1 lousy point! Well can't win them all.

Nomad changed his pick about 5 mins before the kickoff. I just happened to be in here and seen it. A wise move it seems.

That was some game! I hate the "ice the kicker" timeouts at the end of a game, they feel so cheap... but clearly, they are worth the trouble.

I have to say - if the NFL is serious about concussion awareness and prevention, they cannot let that many shots to the QB's head go uncalled. It got called exactly once all night, and on an offsetting penalty play at that. What a joke.

Meanwhile, they call unsportsmanlike conduct on a guy for jumping up and down after a touchdown, thus keeping the "No Fun League" moniker safe.

As the deadline was 7pm central time as stated on the previous page the pick change would normally not count but as the deadlines where not clearly posted by me I'll count it.

So the only ones that got a point then were Odyson and Nomad.

Ok to make things a bit more clear pick deadlines will be as such from this point on all based on Central time. I'll make all 15 minutes before the games instead of 30 mins to give a lil leeway in changing them.

Thursday night 7:15pm
Sunday noon games 11:45am
Sunday late afternoon games 3pm
Sunday night games 7:15pm
Monday night games 7:15pm

This is of course with everyone's ok. If you have a problem with it please speak up

It is cool with me. I am just throwing darts into the wind anyway so no problem.

I guess I just assumed the deadline was game time. My bad. I'll do better in the future. Speaking of future picks, I need to make some. Time to go look at the schedule.

And at long last, for your viewing pleasure, I present the picks of Nomad - each of them presented well over 5 minutes before game time. (See, improving already!)
