+++ NFL Picks / Week 1 +++
Hi everybody. Welcome back!
Let's play all the NFL rookie quarterbacks in their first pro starts: Andrew Luck (Indianapolis), Robert Griffin III (Washington), Brandon Weeden (Cleveland), Russell Wilson (Seattle) and Ryan Tannehill (Miami). Might be the only time we only see them start all together too. Can they beat the spreads? And why is Seattle the favorite?
Great game Sunday night -- Peyton Manning, in his Broncos debut, vs Roethlisberger and the Steelers. Two good divisional games Monday. That totals 8 games.
Let's add Green Bay / San Francisco. It'll be my winner's pick from 2011. It's also the marque match-up on Sunday (Week One and I'm already breaking my own rules).
Please post your picks in the order I have presented below. Picks are due Sunday by 1:00 pm EST.
For a recap of how it all works, please refer to this thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/120418620
Special thanks to JonLP24 for tracking records this year.
