Since tonyandpals is getting us entered into a group pool, we need to get on the ball about picking week 1 teams. Cross-posting from that thread:
Looks like we are going to have 5+ entries. Obviously we should have some different picks, but not necessarily completely different picks.
The best bets in week 1 to me are:
Steelers hosting Browns
Eagles hosting Jags
...
and that's it really. I could be convinced on some of the following:
Rams hosting Vikes
Bears hosting Bills
Jets hosting Raiders
Chiefs hosting Titans
but those are all pretty iffy. Maybe the Jets belong in the best bets tier but as bad as the Raiders are, betting on the Jets is not very appealing.
Let's get the nominations on the table, then vote for them. It is going to be complicated since we have to decide how many different teams we are taking week 1, and then track them all separately throughout the season.
