Strider Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 It's that time of year football fans! Preseason is finally over and Week 1 of the 2017 Regular Season begins next Thursday. We have been doing this for five years now, so everyone should know the drill by now. If any newcomers wish to join in the contest, please do...the more the merrier. No worries about the point spread. Just pick the team you think will win the game. Please remember to get your Thursday pick in before the Thursday game kicks off. All the other games for the week can wait until Saturday...Sunday morning before kickoff at the latest. Walter Junior was the Regular Season winner last year. Mrs. W won the Playoff Pool. Spread the word to your friends and neighbors. Let's get a good crowd of participants this year and let's have some fun! Of course, if your team signed Jay Cutler as QB, fun may be hard to come by. Best of luck to you all. Week 1 Thursday, Sept. 7 All Times E.S.T. Kansas City at New England 8:30 pm Sunday, Sept. 10 N.Y. Jets at Buffalo 1:00 pm Atlanta at Chicago 1:00 pm Baltimore at Cincinnati 1:00 pm Pittsburgh at Cleveland 1:00 pm Arizona at Detroit 1:00 pm Jacksonville at Houston 1:00 pm Tampa Bay at Miami 1:00 pm Oakland at Tennessee 1:00 pm Philadelphia at Washington 1:00 pm Indianapolis at L.A.

LedZeppfan1977 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Well I am still into baseball far more at this point and will be as long as my boys are still kicking. Looks like your Angels are going to be in the fight too Strider. You would be better served wearing the Dodger blue. OK< football. Week one. I have bought into tow eliminator pools. Here are my picks for the week one winners NE Buffalo Atlanta Cincy Cleveland (upset hunch) Detroit Houston Tampa Tennessee Washington Los Angeles Rams Seattle Carolina NY Giants Minnesota Los Angeles Chargers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it's somewhat time consuming. Your insight was spot on. Miami game is not going to be played in Miami. Not that their fans are worth a shit anyway I mean, they never draw or sell out. I would play the game in Tampa and honor the Dolphin fans that have tickets. Or Jacksonville? As they are on the road. But the travel from Miami is at least a 6-7 hour drive to those cities. I think actually 6 ish to Tampa. The 75 to the 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZeppfan1977 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Bet Us, a reputable sports site, has a buy in Eliminator contest in football, $10, $25, $50, $100 buy ins. I won last year a share of the pool. Paid good. And with a "Mulligan" as I had one loss in last week. If you join, its Bet Us, 888-512-3887. Please us me reference number 566039 so I can get some points. You do have to join and make one deposit. $50 minimum. They will give you a bonus. All sports available. Hockey and baseball and soccer are my favorite to bet on. $5 parlays that pay good. Now that Taylor has been announced to start the Bills went from 7 point favorites to 11. No respect for Jets. Pittsburgh is only team being picked more than Buffalo so far. I think Atlanta is the stone cold lock of the week. I used Bills and Carolina in my $10 and $25 buy ins.

Strider Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Yes, the Tampa Bay @ Miami game has been postponed to Nov. 19 due to Hurricane Irma. Don't worry, your picks for that game are not locked in stone. You can change your pick the week of the game if you so desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabe Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Toronto East is Buffalo. Toronto Southeast didn't quite provide the ring to my ears, and Syracuse West... well. This is all to propel our buddy Rick's team deep into the post season. Glad to read jb126 is with us! This place wouldn't be the same without her.

This place wouldn't be the same without her. Glad you explained that cause I was thinking New York all the way. Toronto is often used to represent New York in films, since it is cheaper to film there. So, New York could jokingly be called Toronto East.
