Week 1 is in the books, and it went much better for all of us Colts' fans than last year. A divisional win, along with a full game lead on everyone in the division makes it a pretty good week here. The only thing that could have made it a better weekend would have been for the Bills to not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Oh well, time to move on.
This year's Prediction Contest looks to be fantastic if we get as big of a response as we did in Week 1 each and every week. We had 46 people predict games Against the Spread, and 66 people predict games Straight Up (including somebody named "Your Mom", who had an impressive 1 this week. Seriously, that's pretty damn good to try and screw up every game, and almost succeed spectacularly.)
Winning the Straight Up predictions this week were 6 different people, each getting 14 games correct:
- bluegirl
- Denn
- Gmachine!
- oldecoltsfan
- shelbyjames
- zkmavz
Winning the Against the Spread predictions this week was shoein with 12 correct picks. Our favorite Patriot homer Bill Simmons got 11 correct, getting a good start to the season. Try to stay away from the bottom of this table, as you'll see one of our writers here tied for last...(hint: it's not JakeTheSnake).
This weekend I'll be making my first visit to Las Vegas, and plan on making picks on most of the games this weekend, so expect my ATS numbers to be very low. If anyone wants to give me any Stone Cold Locks, please let me know, and I'll be sure to pick the opposite :)
After the jump you'll see the results for both Contests. I've italicized the "experts" picks, so they are easier to pick out. Click on table headers to sort the columns.

It's not just your perceptions that can be wrong. Even your memory is often incomplete or possibly flat out wrong.

flippin sweet
That’s a good way to start off the season. 11!
Congrats to shoein for posting the high for the spread picks.
Hit em with your groin!

in the graphs at the end
would there be any easy way to separate out the SU vs ATS picks on each game? I think it’d be a really interesting addition to the picks post to have the site consensus listed as well.

I'll look into it
But there isn’t much customization you can do with Google Docs. Probably won’t get to it for a week or two (stupid work).
Would you rather have this feature, or the ability to see what you picked first?

I think I can remember to write down or hit back and keep the tab with the picks
I’d rather see consensus picks first if they’re possible.

week one is such a weird week
I was randomly guessing as to who would be more ready, not necessarily the better team. Seems to have worked though..

Wow.
I suck.
Now a proud annoyance on Stampede Blue, 18to88, Indy Football Report, and Phil B's blog.
Man, I need a life...
Random fact of the week from the empty void that is my mind: My chemistry class decided to have their first test on Monday, September 21, from 8:00-9:00 PM. The Colts play the Dolphins at 8:30 that same night. I don't think I can be any more ticked off right now. I think I'm going to kill someone. No, really. I just haven't decided who yet.

I guess that would mean that I suck
as well… ;-)

I should do this one of these years.
I’m already behind a week though. And overloaded with too many other football obsessive endeavors this fall. Maybe next year. I will give everyone else one last year to win.

Asterisk
I did post my picks after the Ten-Pit game. So I should really get an 11.
Unless you thought I really knew what I was doing, and in that case, please send me money and I’ll help you out for next week.

LOL
Loving your honesty shoein, and as much as I would love to be jointly in the lead (for 1 week at least) I think we can cut you some slack on this one!

prettay good week for me
damn you bills!
"Daryl (Morey, the Rockets general manager) and I were talking this morning. We both discussed how great Tracy is in the playoffs. There's very few people who have the ability to step up their games in the playoffs and he does. So we're not looking to run away from Tracy." - Houston Rockets Owner, Leslie Alexander
muhahahaha WTF?!?!

Alright! 14 picks Correct!
Wooo WhOoo! I got 14 picks correct here..much better than my other picks on ESPN or FanNation. I hope Week 2 will be the same or better!

Picks in
But is there any way to change them? I had San Diego picked but changed to Baltimore elsewhere, but on here I picked SD.

Just make sure mgrex03 sees your change,
or you could submit a new ballot before tomorrow’s game. Just make sure you note to discount the other one in the name of your new ballot.

Picks don't look good
Week 2 is surprising with unexpected teams winning. Like Jets over Pats, Texans over Titans or Bengals over Packers. I hope I at least get 10 picks correct for Week 2!
