CP, NFL Upset Special pool
Listed below is this weeks matchups with favorite team in bold and the spread that British Columbia Lottery corporation is using for their game lines. Yes I know there are way better online sites for gambling, but this site can be accessed by anyone and doesn't require people's personal info. The same teams are going to be favored and the lines are the only thing that will be different. They also always have a favorite one way or another so there is no pick'em game with them. They don't list Monday Night so I'll use a vegas site to designate the favorite. If we ever have a Monday night pick 'em game I'll designate the home team as the favorite for the purpose of this pool.
Basially pick an underdog that wins the game. Not beat the spread, but outright wins the game. You can make new picks every week, but lets see who can put together the longest streak of picking one dog to win a week. This week has a lot of close games so should allow a lot of people a chance to get a two week streak going. We can also keep tabs of who picks the most upsets in the next 16 weeks without a streak.
If there is a week where no underdogs win, we'll just carry over from the previous week for the guys with the longest running streaks.

Cincinnati at Green Bay (9.5)

It pains me, but I'll take the Raiders to beat the Chiefs. Raiders will run the ball....Chiefs run defence is tragic. Raiders win 24-13.

Well I know its a long shot (and these all are!) but I don't think that the Lions are as horrible as everyone else. Brees destroyed them last week, but I don't that Farve pulls that out this week.
I figure its go big or go home...although I will be disappointed if I'm out in week one. Should've gone with the Jets

No for this pool Philly is an invalid pick.
Unless you're intentionally trying to get your pick disqualified.
