PrintJohn and various members of the staff here are once again competing in the annual MHR Pick'em challenge. We were all humbled last year when Guru's Wife dominated us all, winning the season by four games. Hopefully this year will be different!
You will notice the Denver Bronco game is not included. We'll just say everyone roots for the Broncos each week! Guru's wife is a Patriots fan, so her pick will be of the Bronco game. Just so homerism doesn't affect the outcome again this year.

seconded. . .
actually looks like I’m fifth to the agreeance (sic)
I'd have to go with Zappa...
Except the pack will beat the bears.
"So tell me what happened."
"Well, the last thing I remember is seeing this flash of Blue and Orange and the #22... then everything just went black..."
I am 100% with Zappa!
I wouldn’t change a thing that is how i choose my picks in the pool we did at work!
thats too bad
you may lose some money with those pick. just my opinion though
Dawkins/Hillis Bad @ss' for life
Zappa....funny you....
I still can’t believe that you took Washington over the Giants………
I guess we’ll see.
I’ll quit saying, “funny you” if you are right….
funny you…
Guardian of the Gate to La La Land!
Gonsoulin, Taylor, Little, Wright, Gradishar, Atwater, Davis, and Sharpe...
Why are they not in the Hall...I just don't understand.
I think the Giants are going to punish the Redskins
Just my take living out here
I would hope you would support who we are. Not, who we are not. Coach Norman Dale "Hoosiers"

I like Zappa’s picks. He’s got some bold picks which could get him some separation right off the bat. The question is will it be good or bad separation?
"C" is for Championship...that's good enough for meeeee!!!

Prolly somewhere in the middle. ;-)
Redskins opened up with a 16-13 win over the Gmen in Week 1 last year….I say we repeat it. :)
Verbose in style, dispersion of thought, procrastination in life.
Actually...
…the Giants beat the Redskins in the home opener in 2008 on TNF 16-7.
A man does what he has to do, and sometimes it’s not what I believe he should do. There’s no reason to use up energy hating him for it. Shoot him if you have to, but don’t hate him.
Louis L’Amour
You're right...
I’m picking the Toronto Argonauts over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers too. ;)

Guru Wife
J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets. Less Farvre means more wins. How could all to rest of you miss that one. Come on. Just because we all like old number 8, doesn’t mean his team will win.
Well didn't she win it last year
I would take it she knows something. So here is the question; Will someone dethrown her?
Week 1: @ Bengals
2009 NBA Champions L.A Lakers
2009 NBA Finals MVP Kobe Bryant
Oops. I meant to say she "did" (think she did)
Week 1: @ Bengals
2009 NBA Champions L.A Lakers
2009 NBA Finals MVP Kobe Bryant
The only pick I am uncertain about is the Jets-Texans game...I am second guessing myself, but its too late for that!

Off topic
Didn’t Guru say there may be a MHR Radio show tonight?
Week 1: @ Bengals
2009 NBA Champions L.A Lakers
2009 NBA Finals MVP Kobe Bryant
Yes he did! at the end of Tuesdays show on account od the thurs night game.
He did but I think that the Way the Ohio State game went he may not have been in the mood. Just pure speculation on my part, my mom is a buckeye and well…. let’s just say it’s gonna be a long night here! I don’t know what’s worse 35-3 or being so close 18-15? Hopefully he’ll have a show tomorrow after the game! GO BRONCOS! and WAR EAGLE!

I know how college football fans can be so it's understandable.
Week 1: @ Bengals
2009 NBA Champions L.A Lakers
2009 NBA Finals MVP Kobe Bryant
We should have started a private league pick em for all MHR members
…the dude would have smoked you all.
Okay I am kidding. Not really.
Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.
Someone did.
Here is the link.

thanks weazel
doing it against the spread is a different story!!!
(nice way of getting out of my false bravado, eh?)
Smokey, my friend, you are entering a world of pain.
zappa & guru's wife are the only team with any real underdogs???
come on guys…..at least a couple dogs are gonna slip through. Its the beginning of the season, so tons of perceptions are way off on teams…..as you are aware of this on Den, I’m surprised very few went out on a limb and picked a couple other dogs……Kudos to Zappa and Guru’s wife….I like your style!!! I like Cle & SF, but think Was and NYJ are good picks….good luck.
thanks!
I’ve been picking since I was kid back in the 90’s…my family was real into it. One thing I know from those years is that Week 1 is usually a cluster****. lol It can’t hurt to go against the grain…of course I could be dead wrong and I’ll have to play catch up.
I am SO glad football season has arrived!

I'm pretty juiced about FB season myself
One of my favorite parts is seeing the teams that were missed as winners. There is no telling what teams will surprise, although based on how much we know about the Broncs I feel pretty good. The other teams its just kinda a guess. The one thing I totally agree with is that especially in WK 1 there will be a few surprises. I think you’re picks are as good as any. I’ve been looking for dogs so hard I started believing Oak and KC could win….lol. I won’t be surprised if it does happen though…….What a great year for surprises!!
Enjoy the games!

this is cool
"Have you ever heard of the emancipation proclamation?"
- "I don't listen to hip-hop"
"Born like this / Into this"
I want to know...
WHO picked Denver in the NE v. Buffalo tilt.
I believe the 'push off' cost us 'our' SuperBowl...
I believe you 'go for the win'... instead of 'taking a knee'...
