Here we go again guys! The 2018 NFL season is one week away and it is time to get the gears in motion for our annual football picking contest. Are you ready for some football?!? You know the drill...I post the upcoming week's schedule of games and you pick the team you think will win each game. No late picks. Once the game has started, it is too late to put your pick in for that game. Remember there are Thursday night games during the season. I had to chase down quite a few of you last year for your Thursday picks. Make sure you pick every game. Help each other...if you notice someone has missed a game let them know. I cannot be on here 24/7 checking everyone's picks so I may not catch your mistake in time. Good luck to all and as always, this is all in good fun and spirit. No fighting or trolling allowed. I haven't decided what this year's prize will be for the winner. Cannot wait to see what fanciful names jabe comes up with this season. Here are the winners of the last five years with that season's winning record: 2017: Bong-Man, the chase, Strider tied at 175-81 2016: Junior - 171-83-2 2015: apantherfrommd - 163-93 2014: jb126 - 177-78-1 2013: jb126 - 164-91 2018 NFL Season Week 1 Schedule THURSDAY SEPT. 6 TIME (ET) Atlanta @ Philadelphia 8:20 PM SUNDAY SEPT. 9 Buffalo @ Baltimore 1:00 PM Jacksonville @ NY Giants 1:00 PM Tampa Bay @ New Orleans 1:00 PM Houston @ New England 1:00 PM San Francisco @ Minnesota 1:00 PM Tennessee @ Miami 1:00 PM Cincinnati @ Indianapolis 1:00 PM Pittsburgh @ Chargers 4:05 PM Seattle @ Denver 4:25 PM Dallas @ Carolina 4:25 PM Washington @ Arizona 4:25 PM Chicago @ Green Bay 8:20 PM MONDAY SEPT. 10 NY Jets @ Detroit 7:10 PM L.A.
