Each year for the past few years my 2 brothers, my nephew Austin, and I pick 8 teams each near the beginning of the NFL season. We use the following rules to score throughout the year:
Win = 10 Points
Shutout = 5 Points
Score 30+ = 3 Points
Score 40+ = 4 Points
Wild Card Win = 20 Points
Quarter Finals Win = 40 Points
Conference Finals Win = 60 Points
Super Bowl Win = 80 Points
Our first round is auto-selected with our favorite team and the loser from the previous year gets to start the picks in the 2nd round. This simple fantasy set-up makes for a fun NFL season and since we don't have prizes for the winner we don't get overly down if our teams lose.
Last night we got together for some unique Estacada cowboy food (have you ever tried beer- battered fried avocado?) and made our picks for the 2008 season. Here they are:
Grady:
Seahawks
Packers
Rams
Patriots
Jets
Bengals
Chiefs
Redskins
Royce:
Vikings
Chargers
Eagles
Cowboys
Browns
Titans
Falcons
Lions
Aaron:
Bills
Steelers
Saints
Panthers
Bears
Texans
Buccaneers
Dolphins
Austin:
Colts
Giants
Jaguars
Broncos
Cardinals
Raiders
Ravens
49ers
Since we missed the 1st week we'll start the scoring in the 2nd week. I'll be posting the scores on this website.

Thanks for putting this on here. It'll be nice to see it online.
How about those Bills? Sorry the Vikings were victims to Peyton Manning comeback magic. Hope Austin doesn't rub it in too much.
