I have decided to revive the DU NFL weekly game prediction pool

If I am stepping on any toes, let me know.

But I'm not going to do all the organization. I'm going to let Yahoo do that for me.

So, if you want to join, go here. You will need to log in to or create a Yahoo account.

The group ID is: 23795
The password is: dusports

Let me know if there are any problems.

This will be making picks to the spread (as it was before). The low 2 weeks will dropped for overall winner.

Thoughts on weekly winner "prizes" and overall winner "prize"? Or is fame enough?

I was thinking about bringing this back, but the individual effort was taking too much time. This Yahoo set-up looks like a much smarter alternative.

Sure, count me in -- I hope I have the time to give this the attention it deserves. Thanks for bringing it back.

I thought one of these was always enough:

I have two of them, you know ...

I gave up on FF long ago because of the frustrations, but pick 'ems are easy enough.

Tired of all the offseason nonsense.

As John Madden once said, every now and then a game breaks out!

I'll check this out again later.

Heading out soon to watch tonight's game!

Given that the Thursday game was a push, that's a RIDICULOUS amount correct against the spread.

Thanks. Many were guesses, and I had a change of heart about the 49ers at the last minute. I like the Yahoo set-up a lot. You don't have to make all the picks at once. We should have done this years ago.

It's not too late. I have the league set to drop the low two weeks for the overall winner, so you still get in and win the overall competition.

Come on, you know you want to.

And, hey, if joeybee is logging out to look at sports, YOU'RE invited, too. It's all good.

I don't. But some of these close losses still make me sick.
