Who's in for the Pick'em this year? NO ACTUAL FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED. The rules are simple:
-Pick a team
-Say whether that team will WIN or LOSE each game of the season
-I take it from there
Who's in? Paging the usual suspects: @Calamity Panfan @Gumchum @smol Kat @steeze @March @Auron @Heroine of the Dragon @glux and anyone else who would like to join.

Given my recent move to Nashville, I think I will be doing my pick-em for the Tennessee Titans for the second year in a row. Hopefully they treat me better this time.

We've done a weekly pick-em as well before, but last year it kinda fell apart completely. Would there be renewed interest in that?

[steeze]

Si.

[Marilink]

Giants otra vez?

[smol Kat]

Sure. I figure if I go back to the Ravens I'll be more engaged in this all season.

[steeze]

ohhhhhh yeeeeeahhhh.

[Marilink]

Sure. I figure if I go back to the Ravens I'll be more engaged in this all season.

Noted, Kat will be Ravens again

[March]

[Marilink]

The AFC North is Ravens, Browns, Bengals, and Steelers. So you’ve got the Ravens going 4-2 in the division.

[I am nobody]

I actually hate the Pats too since people don't stop talking about them here, but the internet told me they're good and I think "South Beach Sadness" means I can't pick the Dolphins to do this backwards

WWWW WWWW WWWW WWWW

This way, in the worst case event that they actually do go 16-0 and I have to hear about it for the next four months, at least I also win an internet competition.

[smol Kat]

[Marilink]

Much love, Dyl.

I imagine that back-to-back Meadowlands has to have happened in years when a team plays both the AFCE and NFCE, right? Chances are pretty low, though.
