***I also sent this invite via email to everyone who played last year.***

A few notes:

We pick the winner of every game every week.

We do not use point spreads.

The (NEW) deadline for picks each week is ...

Five Minutes Before Each Game - Games will lock five minutes before the scheduled start of each specific game. Please note - all pool members' selections will be displayed in the "View All" picks section only for games that have locked. Games that are not selected will be counted as an incorrect pick.

We predict the total number of points scored on MNF. If there is more than one Monday night game, CBS will tell you which one to use for points.

The weekly winner is the Hognosticator with the most correct picks that week. The MNF score breaks ties. There is no penalty for going over the total points scored.

If you accidentally blow it and forget to make your picks, you get the score of the week's worst Hognosticator minus 1.

The winner for the year is the Hognosticator with the highest total of correct picks. The first tie break is most weekly wins. The next tie break is smallest average percent deviation from the actual MNF scores.

The Deadman runs a separate playoff pool after the regular season champ is crowned.

Though there is no strict rule prohibiting the picking of a Redskin opponent, the practice is highly frowned upon. Doing so is very bad form and the scum bag who does so is referred to as a Hognostitraitor.

NO HOGNOSTITRAITOR HAS EVER WON HOGNOSTICATIONS FOR THE YEAR.

Back to defend my title

Bump

MODS: Please make last year's thread non-sticky. Same for survivor.

Looks like we have around 25 players. After week 1 I will try to delete a few duplicate accounts.

I plan on winning this year, ACW so pick well beeyotch!

Deadlines are amended to 5 minutes before each game. You forget to make picks and you get same score as the worst guy minus 1.

Good luck, all.

Well, 7-6 so far. Now the ones I missed:
*Us (at least we all missed that).
*STL (I'll gladly take that though. Eff them ).
*HOU (fine; I wasn't terribly confident. At least Jamaal and Kelce did well).
*BUF ( DM for being the only one to pick them).
*SD (ugh, fine, so be it).
*TEN (meh. Both teams sucked, so I took the home team ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

TEN at TB - damn it - cannot believe I did not take the better QB

The important thing here is I can't possibly finish week one worse than 9-7.

#2 in the standings, but

#1 in your hearts.

It's good to be back in the Hognostications running!

Got lucky on a few. Feel picking VIK @ 49R was pretty bad in hindsight. Overlooked an important thing or two there.

14-2 at work for $$$.

Miami losing to JAX. Either Miami's worse than we thought, or JAX is better.
Why did I pick PHI?

Same. BUF was a mistake for me too. Gotta live with CLE and JAG.

Tough week. I feel fortunate to be above .500

Oakland may be decent this year; the Jets probably aren't that bad.
Really Philly, you couldn't've done this LAST weeK?
Also missed us, but got the other 12.

Damn you PIT, BUF, OAK, ARI.

you HOU, you lousy, can't-even-beat-an-aged-ill-QB .

I can't believe it - I changed because Luck was taken out - what was I thinking?

What kind of low life picks against the Redskins?

Jerry Jones? Attila the Hun? Pol Pot? Jeffrey Dahlmer? Rocket J Squirrel?
Benedict Arnold?

How about Bowe BergSTAHL?

what a lot of fun we could have had if that game had turned out different ... OK MS - you're on my *sh$t* list now - good luck with that

Oh. Shall I send him a PM?

Just so everyone knows - Michael emailed me and asked me to change his ATL pick to WAS.



He assured me it was a mistake.



Note he still won the week and leads the overall standings by 1 over me and SJ.

Objection: CHI won that game...that was a bogus TD that should've been an INT, and that phantom roughing the passer penalty...DET stole one.
