We're doing this little pool type game in my office, and it seems like fun, so I figured I'd start it up over here and see if anyone is interested. It's not as much maintenance as a fantasy football league, or even a survivor pool, but it seems like every year we do a thread on predicting the outcome of the NFL season, and this is something very similar to that. Basically it's a points total game, pick the most of each category right, and at the end of the year you win. In the spirit of fairness, anybody who edits or posts their picks after the season kicks off on Thursday, Sept 8th, will be DQ'd.

Sam Bradford was extremely impressive without any legit WR's. Also, as much as I would love to pick the Texans over the Patriots in the AFC game, I think this is New England's year... again. edit- I wanna give the Titans an honorable mention for worst record in the league. If Chris Johnson holds out, and the team can't glue with Hasselback or Locker, I see them tanking or sucking to the maximum.

I think the Eagles stumble, maybe because Vick gets injured. Too much parity for the Packers to repeat. And I'm just ready to see some new blood in the playoffs and Superbowl.
