Pick 'Em Week 1

Since SP did so incredibly poorly in the week 1 of the Blogger Deathsport Pick 'Em challenge, I fully do not expect him to comment on the week that was.

But, seeing as I did a little better in my "unofficial" picks, I thought I'd add a little posty post so that fellow lurkers can let Mr. Skin Patrol know exactly how they feel about him ruining the good name of their favorite Redskins blogsite.

Anyway, here's a re-cap of SP's picks and the lines used:

DEN (-3) @ BUF (O/U 36.5)
Pick: DEN

KC @ HOU (-3) (O/U 37.5)
Pick: KC

TEN @ JAX (-6.5) (O/U 38)
Pick: JAX

ATL @ MIN (-3) (O/U 35.5)
Pick: MIN

NE (-6.5) @ NYJ (O/U 41)
Pick: NYJ

DET @ OAK (-1.5) (O/U 39.5)
Pick: OAK

PHI (-3) @ GB (O/U 43)
Pick: PHI

PIT (-4.5) @ CLE (O/U 36.5)
Pick: PIT

CHI @ SD (-5.5) (O/U 43)
Pick: CHI

TB @ SEA (-6) (O/U 41)
Pick: SEA

CAR @ STL (-1) (O/U 42.5)
Pick: STL

MIA @ WAS (-3) (O/U 34.5)
Pick: WASHINGTON BEYOTCH

Monday games
BAL @ CIN (-2.5) (O/U 42.5)
Pick: BAL

ARZ @ SF (-3) (O/U 45)
Pick: ARZ

By my calculations, that puts SP at a 4-10 record for week 1.  He didn't even get the Skins right, but it was a push (thank god for him, eh?)  The ARI/SF game ended up being a push as well, for a total of 14 games.  He picked DAL, MIN, SEA, and PIT correctly.

And my picks were:

And, by my calculations, that puts me at a solid record of 9-5.  I missed (badly) on the NO and OAK picks... bought the hype of STL's Jackson and JAX's Gerrard.  And then got hosed by the Back Judge in the CIN/BAL game in this challenge and in FF (why not let Heap get a TD?)

Anyway, expect another post about this from Post Game Heroes... but until then, use this to give SP some well-deserved grief.
