Is the deadline really Sunday at 1:00? Regardless of Thursday or Saturday games?

If you want to pick the Thursday or Saturday game, then you must do so before kickoff of that game.  However, I've never thought it was wise to force folks to pick the Sunday games by 8:00PM ET on a Thursday.

This is how it has been for a few years now.  What is your concern?

No concern really.  I just couldn't remember what we had done in the past.  It looks like the issue two seasons ago was that one of the Yahoo pages indicated the deadline was 1:00PM Pacific Time.  That was an error and it was fixed.

Looks like we've got 21 people this year.
8 people in the $100 pool.
3 people in the big boys pool - Seth, GGW and Smackie

And dammit, I had Houston all week until Foster was out. Now they're drubbing the Colts with Ward and Slaton...

The price of beer just went up too.

Lets see how the rest of the day plays out and decide soon.

For real. I'm a Bengals fan, and today's game at Cleveland is one of the few I was confident they would win this season.

Why wasn't everyone else picking Houston? Without Manning, Indy is a 3-13 team at best.

I thought Cleve was a sure thing with the Bengals having a rookie QB and bad preseason.  Thought Colt Mccoy would have a big year.  Guess that just shows I suck at gambling  ;D

WHY?!?!  Are you FROM Cincinnati?

When the team you picked is playing against a team with a rookie quarterback....and that rookie quarterback gets knocked out at half time...and BRUCE GRADKOWSKI(!) has to come in...and you STILL lose then that, my friend, is just not your year.

P.S.  The Colts should bring back Jeff George.  He's still available.  And as we know, the buzz word for this new decade is "closure."

The amount of research I put into this week was probably more than the last 4 years combined. I really didn't feel confident about this week at all.  I had Houston for most of the  week and then got nervous about Fosters leg.  I had KC and Cle at one point but ultimately settled on AZ once they hit 9.5 points.  Damn that was close....

If New England loses tonight there will only be a handful of teams left.
