I'll post the list when I get home, and then post it every week too. I'll post a list with the spreads, in case you want to use that info to pick.

Ok, so I use this website for my spreads (different websites may vary by a point or so, but this is a website most of the bookies use 
)
Also keep in mind that this is how it stands when I post it, someone could get hurt on Friday or something and the spread for that game may change at the last min. so if you want to check right before you send here's the link: http://www.covers.com/sports/nfl/nfl_main.aspx
Cowboys v. Giants (h) - Giants favored by 3.5
Colts v. Bears (h)- Bears favored by 9.5
Jags v. Vikings (h) - Vikings favored by 4
Jets (h) v. Bills - Jets favored by 3
Dolphins v. Texans (h) - Texans favored by 12
Patriots v. Titans (h) - Pats favored by 6
Rams v. Lions (h) - Lions favored by 7
Redskins v. Saints (h) - Saints favored by 9
Eagles v. Browns (h) - Eagles favored by 9
Falcons v. Chiefs (h) - Falcons favored by 3
49ers v. Packers (h) - Packers favored by 5.5
Seahawks v. Cardinals (h) - Seahawks favored by 2.5
Panthers v. Bucs (h) - Panthers favored by 1

Ok, so people who are unsure how to play (DP!) and are thinking about it... the spreads (the points that teams are favored by) do not count. Your team does NOT have to win by that amount, you just simply have to win.
However, some people like to look at the spreads and see which teams are heavily favored to win, and therefore pick those teams. A big spread does not always guarentee a win, but this will tell you who is suppose to do better. Also I put who is at home with the (h), and who is away, because sometimes teams are more likely to upset (win when they're not suppose to) while they're at home in front of their own fans. A low spread (anything less than 3 points), means the teams are pretty evenally matched.
So it's up to you how you want to play, but there are some ideas! Good luck!

It sounds too complicated for my little brain. Mainly cos I know nothing about American football which instantly makes it more confusing for me.

Yeeeeeah, it would be impossible to do the pool this way with College.... Maybe if you only did top 25, and had to include the points... but it would still wouldn't work quite right.

everyone's gotta PM or post their picks by saturday, and I'll post everything on Sunday AM before the games.
My pick will always be public, but everyone else's I'll keep private in case they're using a stratergy.
My pick this week is the Lions.
Come one peeps! Let's get some more before it starts!
OK so you only pick one team ?

Yup one team, any team to win to "survive" to the next week. Straight win, no tie, no points. Then you can't pick that team again for the rest of the season. So every week it is a new team to win, until you lose and you're out. Last one standing takes the pot.
