Pick Totals / Update for Week 1

"Lions Fever '09!!" [New Orleans] --Taylor~G

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen, and join the "Pick-Against-the-Lions Pool," or as it's also known, Ducey Pool 2009. While two straight 0-16 seasons seems highly unlikely, anything better than 2-14 seems equally unlikely after this Sunday's performance. Choose wisely and ride the paper lions all the way to the playoffs.

"Looking to repeat!" [Arizona] --Schoenstein

Even though it was a relatively predictable week, with all 5 of the most-picked teams turning in a win, there was still a tiny bit of damage, including former solo-winner Schoenstein. He and the Cardinals have stumbled out of the gate. But never fear, no one has ever won the pool without a loss. Even the mighty Schoenstein had one loss when he won it. Yes, the good news is that everyone is still in the pool and still very much alive...

CURRENT STANDINGS
586 people in the lead
32 people in the not-lead

That totals 618 paid players, assuming the dust has settled and all faraway checks have made their long, slow journey across the Old West on the Pony Express.

Remember the pick deadline is SATURDAY MORNING!! It can sneak up on you, so plan ahead. Load in a few picks in advance. It is a lot less painful to forget to CHANGE a pick than it is to forget to MAKE a pick. Last year there were 99 No-Picks for the regular season. That's just about 1 out of every 6 entries. So be warned, it can happen to you.

Also, you cannot repeat a pick during the regular season. A repeat pick will count as a loss for that week. Your previous picks should be listed on your picks page, so don't forget to double-check them before you click on the "submit picks" button.

"Let's get it on!" --Roberts~E

By all means, let's.
