No One

Picks

2 - New Orleans (no chance in hell, troy godamalu)


And in the Part Duex...

6 Participants, no one eliminated.

5 - New Orleans
1 - Dallas (Smackie)

Smackie was in the throws of one of the roughest sports weekends he could remember and at 9:30 AM he was faced with the decision to risk $100 on the AZ Cardinals and money line (he's a Steeler fan, for those unaware) or put his $100 in the pool at risk.  Smackie figured if he was going down, maybe he'd take the Cowboy's down with him.  The things he does for sports....

Teams coming off a bye week are 3-9 this season.  I know they changed the practice schedule rules, but this is still pretty shocking.

Discuss.

looks like we lost seth again.  first round it was cleveland, this time it's kansas.  not that anyone could blame him for the pick: at home vs. winless miami seemed pretty safe...

edit: of course smackie is going to point out how this was, in fact, a completely stupid choice

This is the complete text of an actual email conversation I had with venerable on Tuesday, Nov 1:

Venerable

Ask your wife?.

Smackie

Every time Venerable has to part with his $105, which I make him do in person in front of his wife every year as part of our annual ritual, she destroys him for taking the Chiefs and asks how much money have they cost them every year.

True Story.
