2012 NFL Football Pool
We haven't gotten very much response about doing a football pool this year, but I thought I would start one here and see who wants to play. Tim Cathey has run it the past two seasons, and I will still defer to him if he wants to do it again this year. If not, I can keep track of the weekly standings. Here are a few rules to start:
Let's have each round be worth a little more than the previous one, as we did in the past: Wild card- 1 point for each correct pick Conference semi-finals- 2 points Conference finals- 3 points Superbowl- 5 points. Let's get all picks in at least one hour before first kickoff. So for this week, noon Saturday is the deadline. Let's also say no edits allowed, unless they were allowed in past years. And if we can get at least 5 or more players, there will be a prize for the winner. Leon will donate a deluxe Net54 T-shirt to the winner. So just post in this area, and unless I hear from Tim I will keep track of the point totals and post the standings on the Monday after the games. Good luck to everyone, and let's get a few more players. |
My picks for this weekend:
Bengals Saints Giants Steelers |
i will play along
wildcard picks.....
saints steelers texans falcons |
I'm in. I lost last year (or came in 2nd, however you want to look at it) on the total points in the Super Bowl. So, I'll play again.
My picks: CINN NO NYG PITT Good Luck, Phil P.S. GO PACK GO! |
NO
NY PITT TEXANS the prize is what makes this all worthwhile, thanks Leon :D |
That's the spirit. Keep those picks coming.
I should add that in case of a tie for first, Leon will tear the T-shirt in half and give one piece to each winner. Just specify if you would like the left side or the right side. |
I'll be the different one and pick tebow ... he's due.
NO DEN NYG HOU Thanks Barry and Leon! Rob :) |

If there is a tie then I will give a T-shirt to each winner. Please no conspiracies :D.

Why the Denver love, the guy cannot throw a football.
Rawn |
Great game for the Giants....Atlanta became the first team to finish with 2 points in a playoff game.
|
Denver will be lucky to reach that much.

49ers (too much defense and just enough offense from the 49ers)
Patriots (would love to see Tebow pull this one out) Ravens (I've never been to a playoff game, and if Tebow can work another miracle, the AFC Championship will be in my backyard. I'd love to go to that game!) Packers (even though JPP has declared a win for the G-men) |

Isaac, please let me explain something, If you throw the ball deep enough times, the receiver can adjust to a ball thrown somewhere in their general direction. He cannot throw a 7 yard slant pass because there is not enough time to adjust to the 6 yards he missed by.
Think of it in baseball terms, an outfielder can run 150 feet to track down a fly ball, but a third baseman is fortunate to move 5 feet to his right to snag a liner. Rawn |

You said he couldn't throw and you were proven wrong. Rather than admit you were wrong, you try to turn the situation around and make excuses. Let me ask you this. What does Tebow need to do to prove to you that he can throw? |

David, ever hear of David Clyde? He could throwand throw amazingly hard, but he could not pitch. To me it's just physics, ten feet off target at 21 feet compared to 15 feet off target at 90 feet leaves more time for the receiver to get to the ball. Pitt'e defensive backs also played a horrible game. Troy P gets to the wrong place faster than anyone else in football.

fwiw
49ers
Patriots Ravens GO BIG BLUE! (giants) |
Week 2
Packers
49ers Patriots Ravens |
Didn't play the WC round. So I guess I'm a late entrant...
Packers Saints Texans Patriots Can I get some extra points if I pick the Texans in OT???? |
If the Texans win in OT I'll give you a gold star...but no extra points.:(
Sorry you missed the first round, as you can always use the points. |
