RotB Preseason Pick'em: Week 2 Results & Week 3 Picks

by Hawkwind on Aug 25, 2009 6:30 AM MDT

Another week of preseason football is in the books and the winning teams are as unpredictable as ever. Through Saturday's games* it's hard to tell if people are really good at picking winners or really bad at picking losers. To clarify one last time, pick the winner of each match-up as per the normal Pick'em League rules. The "spin" on the Preseason Pick'em is that the prizes go to who has the worst winning percentage. Truly I tried to pick the opposite of who I thought was going to win this past week, but I still ended up an 11-4 record. That would be a great record in the regular season but it's CardsIrish's 5-10 record that I should be envious of. A couple of folks were late on their entries for Week 2 as the first game kicked off at 7:30 PM ET. Your posts are time stamped and that's my basis for determining whether it was in on time or not.

Remember, you need to participate in a minimum of two weeks of the Preseason with Week 4 being a mandatory participation week to qualify for the Preseason Pick'em Prize Cache (Cardinals Super Bowl collectible and a David Boston jersey from the dark recesses of my closet...'cos he's a winner!).

*Week 2 standings only compiled through Saturday's games. Monday's Ravens-Jets game will be accounted and the records adjusted and reflected appropriately in the Week 3 standings. You'll be reading this only if the autopublish takes place because I'm in the middle of nowhere without internet access Monday night.

Wow preseason pickem

Some of us apparently have waaaaayyyyyyyyy too much free time.
OK , so as one of the above I am basing my picks on which mascot would win in a no holds barred cage match to the death. I have consulted Mr. Vick for his expertise in the area of killing animals and here is what we came up with.
