BR.com You Pick'em S2 Week One

[AwakenTheDemon]

Welcome to season two of BaltimoreRavens.com You Pick 'Em. The main difference from the first season is that, due to time constraints and increased number of participants, I have moved the picking system itself to Yahoo. However, I will still do weekly recaps and previews in their own thread, like last year.

A few notes:
- No weeks will be dropped this season.
- The deadline for picks is now five minutes before each game.
- Although, you must enter your picks on Yahoo, if you want to share your picks with the rest of us here, you may.
- I cannot make changes to your picks.
- You must join the Yahoo group and make your picks there for them to count.

You can change your pick for each game until 5 minutes before the game begins. I just cannot change your picks for any reason.

[AwakenTheDemon]

That reminds me, make sure you all say goodbye to Nurps. He's going up there to watch among the Jets fans and it's likely we will never see him again.

[/quote]

No I have used Yahoo Pickem for 2 years, and all it counts are wins and losses. So no need to worry about spread... I'll post my picks on here soon I'm thinking there may be some upsets this week so I'm taking my time, especially one upset that I think could happen and that is the Chiefs beating the Chargers and I'm battling between that game and a few other games when it comes to upsets.

Lock them in on Yahoo for sure. However, it's up to you if you'd like to post your picks here. It's purely optional.

He should make a big sign that says "you're still not the highest paid"!!!!!!

[AwakenTheDemon]

Did you join the Yahoo league, Wardy? I was actually surprised when I didn't see you signing up.

[PuRock]

Why is everbody posting their picks in here? Aren't we doing the yahoo thing?

[AwakenTheDemon]

Yeah, Pu. The Yahoo group is where were doing our picks. However, I said that if people want to post there picks to facilitate conversation, I wouldn't mind. The Yahoo group is where they count though.
