Naked Paul Toast’s Insights

We have a football pool at work. Costs $20, 11 people are in it. At the end of the season first place gets 70%($154), second place gets 20%($44), third place gets 10%($22).

It’s done really well. All online. You enter your picks via a web page, When the games are over, login to see how many you got right and where you are in the standings. The guy running it doesn’t take any vig., all the money goes back out in prizes. He just loves doing it.

Being so close to the beginning of the season everyone is still clumped together. I’m in third place with a record of 31 correct picks and 16 incorrect picks. Picking is straight up, no spreads, no confidence points. Just pick the winner.

My picks for this week are:

Philadelphia at Chicago - Philadelphia
Buffalo at St. Louis - Buffalo
Cleveland at Cincinnati - Cincinnati
Atlanta at Carolina - Carolina
San Diego at Oakland - San Diego
Washington at Dallas - Dallas
San Francisco at New Orleans - New Orleans
Arizona at NY Jets - New York Jets
Houston at Jacksonville - Jacksonville
Denver at Kansas City - Denver
Minnesota at Tennessee - Tennessee
Green Bay at Tampa Bay - Green Bay
Baltimore at Pittsburgh - Pittsburgh

If anyone has any inside information, let me know.
