Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the start of THN’s official 2009 Hognostication season. It’s been a long off-season but it’s time to see who the best hognosticator is for the 2009 NFL season. Congratulations go out to our reigning 2008 Hognostication Champion Skinsjock!
I will be managing this season’s pool and will keep track of the weekly results along with the season-to-date totals. The weekly winner will be decided by the most wins and the tie-breaker will be determined by who comes closest to the total points (with out going over) in the MNF game. This is a 17 week pool and the champion will be the hognosticator with the highest total season wins.
I will start a weekly hognostication thread in the “Around the League” forum each week so you can enter your picks there. Please have picks submitted by 9pm on Fridays. If there happens to be a Thursday night game than those picks must be entered prior to kick off.
You got game? Then play, but let me warn you that this pool has a history of hognosticators that can blow the so called “experts” out of the water.
My week 1 picks:
Tennessee @ Pittsburgh: Pick Steelers
Miami @ Atlanta: Pick Falcons
NY Jets @ Houston: Pick Texans
Jacksonville @ Indianapolis: Pick Colts

As the unofficial 2008 co-champion* and career co-champion** hognosticator, I welcome all challengers.

** 608-326 (609 counting Pittsburgh over Tennessee) is tied with RiC for the all-time lead.
