NFL Prognostication Week 1

September 4th, 2008

I promised myself that I wasn’t going to play any fantasy football or do anything else this year other than just watch football, but there is now a wager at the office.  One of my friends thinks he can easily beat my record of last year (169/256 or 66%) after I told him it’s harder than what one would think.  Heck, I think he even mentioned he can get close to 75% for the season.  So the bet is whether or not he can beat my 66% from last year, the winner buys lunch.  Of course there’s another friend that wanted in on the action, and then I was asked to compete.  With that said, here are my picks for week one, projected winners are in bold:
