sometimes even good picks don't work out and you want a second chance.  there was nothing wrong with picking of jacksonville (at home) over tennessee in week one, it was perfectly legit pick and definitely favored by bookies.
 
 on any given sunday...

David Garrard over Vince Young.  That's what you picked.  Remember when Jack Del Rio went ape shit because the Jags didn't pick Brady Quinn at his bequest.  He was telling you something - that the QB situation in Jacksonville is worse that any one imagines...fortunately for him, this week the other team had Joey Harrington.

that was the one the bookies got wrong, and it was painfully obvious to most people ... tennessee ended the year red-hot, no one really knew if vince young was the real deal or not (he is), and jacksonville is full of question marks ... but more important than jax's shortcomings is that the titans may be the real deal ... i couldn't believe how many points the jags were getting in that game

yeah, it's pretty easy to second-guess professional odds-makers after the fact

I thought it was high-rollers only.

I'd like to point out I've been rather helpful to newbies who ask questions... but really, being nice to others is its own reward!

[vansmack]

Well, what are we hearing?
 
 There's definitely interest in at least a $100 pool.  Is there much interest in another $5 pool?
 
 Cast your votes....

Second guessing?  Did I pick that game that despite the fact that they were the biggest home team favorite in week one?  I did not, and that's why I'm still in the pool.  Guess that means I first guessed, doesn't it?

[sweetcell]

i'm definitely up for another $5 pool, maybe even a $25 pool... but $100 is outta reach at the moment.  got a bunch of concert tickets i need to buy first

you would have had to pick the titans to be able to say that.
