And you need to break out the scoring for each team.

Can it be unlocked, or is it too late to join the ESPN standings? If that's the case, I will post my picks here, as we've done since the beginning.

They ARE public once the games start.

thanks

Click on the username for the picks.

Good call on the Cardinals, BTW.

I picked the Cards.

10-6 first week. Not bad.
Someone got 13! :shock:

Someone overall got all 16! :shock:

Someone, somewhere, will get a perfecto every week, but in the past seven years here at THN (this is year eight), there has only ever been one, and that was in a bye-shortened week. :shock:

Mediocre week at 10 - 6 for me but I never do well on the first week of the regular season based on preseason speculation.

Disappointing results from NYG, Buffalo, Carolina, and Oakland. I expected better from them.

I gambled with Kansas City knowing it would be an upset and lost. No regrets here.

The list of yellow HOGNOSTITRAITORS who screwed themselves with THE CURSE is limited to only one traitor who picked against its own team:

Happy returns ATX.

Gah, this week's gonna be even tougher. Only a few real locks: NE, Houston, MAYBE NO and NYG

Deadskins · Post by **Deadskins** » Sun Sep 16, 2012 9:52 pm

Rough week. Lots of upsets.

Did that make it to your resume yet?

You gave away who the one was.

And yes, of course it's on my resume, right under the section that talks about my spending all day on a Redskins fan site.

Right on Houston and NYG (barely); wrong on NE and NO. Any given Sunday...

Well, you do bring it up over and over and over. You're way more impressed by it then I was.

Rough week when the best poster only gets 10 wins. :oops:

Deadskins · Post by **Deadskins** » Mon Sep 17, 2012 10:34 pm

Wow, I didn't think that many of you would be picking the Falcons too. I know they're at home, but still, it is Peyton Manning.

I thought the score would be a lot higher.

My picks are in and I am just trying to stay in the hunt at this point.

Good job by SkinsJock so far with an early lead.

tribeofjudah · Post by **tribeofjudah** » Fri Sep 21, 2012 3:07 am

My RULES:

#1. I will never pick against the SKINS....no matter what (unlike some people)

#2. I am realistic and will chose for NFC east teams as I see fit....BUT NEVER AGAINST THE SKINS

SkinsJock · Post by **SkinsJock** » Fri Sep 21, 2012 9:51 am

Thanks RiC - it's VERY early :roll:

and

it's very simple - just pick the teams that you think should win ... and never pick against the Skins

I picked Carolina based on the past 2 games by BOTH ... Carolina did not play as well as they have and the giants were able to take advantage

the Panthers are capable of a much better game than we saw last night - the giants were in the right place at the right time

the eagles will kill the giants next week if that group shows up :twisted:

Deadskins · Post by **Deadskins** » Fri Sep 21, 2012 11:05 am

I went with Carolina too. I thought they had a good chance until the game began. :twisted:

Winning over everyone else over 17 weeks is way more impressive than one fluky week

Some of us should know. We have won this thing in the past. BUT ... what is the point????

Just self-promotion?

We make comments as we go along and it is early but every week counts.

The best way to argue in this thread is to walk the walk. You chose not to do it this season. So, there is hardly a justification to talk the talk.

Those who do not put up should shut up.
