Not that I know of, but it would be nice to find one. Maybe we can do an online one and everyone pays up at the TOTV luncheon on the 18th (or mails their $$ by that time). Payoff could be done via mail if the winner(s) aren't in TV. It would be awkward, but doable. Probably too late for this weekend's playoffs but could be done for the Conference playoffs and the SB itself. Hey, this might be fun!

Green Bay Packers, may be a high scoring game, but GB has the second best offense in the league so in a shoot out they will win.
New England Patriots will be an easy win.
San Deigo Chargers are on a roll, this is still a toss up, I like Rivers and Turner but this one could go either way.
New York Giants, they are on a roll, and Dalles just didn't show up for their last game.

nitehawk, I don't know of any pools. You can join this one for fun, but you start tied for last at zero points.

May modify my Green Bay-Seattle pick near the end of the week after seeing what the weather in Green Bay is going to be like. Also watching injury lists.

No. Just would like to get some more points. I usually do or have done really poorly when I have been in various sports office pools and the like. They had them and I played while I worked at Information Access Company in Belmont, CA. That was a long time ago though when the Niners were one of the hottest teams.

Unless there is a local clunb or group, I know of no pools. Usually the pool is only on the Super Bowl itself.

Muncle 01-09-2008 04:44 AM

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 
I really hate to go with all the favorites, but I can only imagine one upset and I don't like them. So:

Indianapolis
New England
Green Bay
Dallas

Boy it hurt to type that :barf:

JohnN 01-10-2008 04:01 PM

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 
My picks,
Seattle, Indy, New England, Dallas,

subject to a last moment change, depending on weather and injuries (got that from Taltarzac LOLOL)

Good luck, DickY.

I changed my picks to New England and Green Bay, but you may be right about San Diego and New York. Wonder if a certain blonde will be in the stands in Dallas? :joke:

JohnN 01-10-2008 09:16 PM

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 
Taltarzac, green bay or seattle now?

Bubbalarry is the only one outstanding as of now.

Looked at the weather. Looks pretty cold Saturday for the Seahawks who do not seem to play in many stadiums like the ones Green Bay plays in. So, I predict Green Bay will win. Also do not want to **** off my neighbors who are big Green Bay fans even if I do not know if they read TOTV.

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 
Ok, here's my pix from the shy :redface: lady who doesn't know the shape of a football:

Indianapolis
Dallas
New England (final outcome could be weather related)
Green Bay (but if the weather is bad, it could be Seattle as GB doesn't run the ball well)

Oops!! Did I say that?
Noooooooo these are my brothers picks.

JohnN 01-11-2008 07:13 PM

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 
Kathie1 and Time for Tee, you're both starting out a week behind, but.. anything is possible
good luck

As I explained to kathie in a message, I believe that she is a ringer.

I would not be one bit surprised if she wins it all.

Watch her very closely.

Good luck to everyone especially to KathieI says the guy with the same picks as her. :joke:

redwitch 01-12-2008 03:36 PM

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 
After careful consideration, I'm changing my picks.

I like Favre and GB is playing at home but I gotta go with the Seachickens.

The rest stays the same:

The Pats (yuck, yuck, yuck -- have never forgiven them for beatin up my beloved Fish in the blizzard playoff)
The Cowboys (American's team my royal rear end!)
Indy just cause ... um, I don't hate them?

JohnN 01-12-2008 07:12 PM

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 
still no 2nd weeks picks from jim16q or Bubbalarry, since this is for prestige and not cash, I'll give til game time, otherwise 0 points for the record

redwitch 01-13-2008 12:31 AM

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 
Well, that'll teach me to switch my initial picks. At least I like Favre and GB!

KathieI 01-13-2008 01:12 AM

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 
Red, "at least" doesn't count. See the "shy" one who knows nothing bout the pointy ball game picked the right team. That is Tal and I!!!! Let's see what happens in a little while with the next game. Good luck!!! May the best man win, but win what --- nothing!!

KathieI 01-13-2008 12:49 PM

Update after the games yesterday:

So far, the favorites have come in but this is like a horse race, not much fun when you pick all the favorites but we'll see how today goes.

My Dad says, no fair, picking favorites is easy, we should be working with the point spread... Gosh what's he talking about? ??? I'm having a hard enough time keeping the names of the teams straight. :dontknow:

Can't believe I'm even watching a "football game", have I lost it completely or is my life that boring right now? Scary folks.

Kathie :redface:

KathieI? I am with you. Only watched some of the football games yesterday. Still not that much of a football fan. Never even been to a NFL football game.

My guesses so far have turned out right. Beginner's luck. Let's wait and happens with Indy vs. SD and Dallas vs. NY games.

The Packers-Seahawks game was fun to watch though from what I saw of it. Felt a little synchronicity from the finale score too. 42-20.

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 
Oh, sure, blame me! Why not? My daughter does all the time ... the best was when she was 6 and wanted to go to the park. It was raining. Did you know I can cause it to rain just so I don't have to go play in the sand? It's so nice to be omnipotent ......

NOT!

KathieI 01-13-2008 08:52 PM

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOT
 
Red, you can't make it rain??

What kind of a witch are you?

Kath

Taltarzac 01-13-2008 09:30 PM

Re: Super Bowl Playoffs & Picks - or Who is the best football handicapper at TOTV ?
 
Would have liked it better if the score had been the other way around rather than San Diego 28 Indy 24. Guess I am no longer in the lead? :dontknow:

I think I will go with New England though if they now face the SD Chargers. Depends on the weather and injury lists though.

JohnN 01-14-2008 03:52 AM

Per Kathie1

So far, the favorites have come in but this is like a horse race, not much fun when you pick all the favorites but we'll see how today goes.

My Dad says, no fair, picking favorites is easy, we should be working with the point spread...
================================================== ===

Kathie1 fyi, underdogs have won 4 of 8 games to date, so much for the favorite theory
