Okay everybody this is it, (not the michael Jackson movie,) the 1st Annual PoP NFL picks pool. We are starting mid season, so everybody has an idea of how good or bad these teams are at this point. There are no prizes for this thing, it is more for bragging rights. This is open for everybody and there will be no weeks dropped because it is mid-season. All you have to do is pick the winner for each game. You have 2 goals, 1) Do better than the evil Canadian known as Brian Cross, the tyrant of flapjack mountain and ruler of the death star. 2) talk as much trash about one anothers lack of swami type predicting skills, or in the case of Mr. Wang and Mr. Decay, just talking trash about them. It should be fun.
There are no Thursday games yet, so picks are due before kick-off on Sunday. Point totals will be calculated each week and the person with the highest grand-total at the end of the season gets bragging rights. (unless someone decides this is a worthy thing to put prizes up for, but it's not like PoP has a store and tons of merch to float our way, so maybe we'll have a trophy designed for the winner to place in their signature. (another contest for designing that I guess.)
**Also because this is mid-season there will be two, games featured as tough calls of the week, these will be worth 2 points instead of 1, that should make this a little more exciting** (Denoted by **)
