    5/8 NFL STREAK LEAGUE 2011 EDITION

    In which Peyton Manning gets an epic streak buster the very first weekend ...

    Brought to you by: Taco Tuesday, Diet Fanta, and the letter "C"

    HERE ARE THE RULES, READ THEM:

    1) Each week, pick a team that you think is going to win that weekend's game.
    [1-a] You may only pick a given team ONCE PER SEASON.
    [1-b] You may only pick a given team UNTIL THEIR GAME BEGINS.

    2) If you pick correctly, you receive points according to the following formula:

    1 POINT x CURRENT NUMBER OF CONSECUTIVE WEEKS PICKING CORRECTLY

    i.e. if this is your 4th week picking correctly, you will earn 4 points

    3) If you pick incorrectly, you receive a STREAK BUSTER. That means ZERO points and your streak is over. If you pick correctly the following week, you start over at ONE point.
    [3-a] Skipping a week/pick COUNTS AS A LOSS!
    [3-b] Three skipped weeks in a row KICKS YOU OUT OF THE POOL! No slackers!

    4) You may not pick a team for Week X+1 until Monday Night Football has been completed for Week X. So, don't pick until late Monday night or Tuesday morning.

    5) Pick a team by BOLDING THE TEAM NAME in a post with nothing else in it please.

    6) The season winner will be the person with the most points!
    [6-a] Tiebreakers are as follows:
    1. Most wins
    2. Longest season streak
    3. Fewest losses
    4. Alphabetical

    I am starting out by picking the Houston Texans to beat the Colts since Peyton has officially been ruled out.

    "Sign up" simply by making your Week 1 pick!!!

    Wins (but not points) recorded through the 4pm games. Sorry for my delays, I was in Virginia without my computer.

    2005 mofo: were you officially changing your pick from Cleveland to Kansas City? Please be honest, ignoring the actual result.

    STANDINGS ARE UPDATED FOR WEEK 1

    Also, I have added a new sub-game to the OP: the MICHAEL VICK INJURY POOL!

    Michael Vick is entering his 9th season in the NFL. He has only played 16 games ONCE in his career. He throws his body around like a moron, and our O-Line blows. Hence, it is inevitable that he will be injured this year. EVERYONE GETS TO PICK ONE WEEK IN WHICH IT WILL HAPPEN! NO CHANGING YOUR GUESS EVER, FIRST COME FIRST SERVE.

    In the off season they gained a fan whose steadfast support and die hard attitude will bring them enough good will to compensate for the loss.

    Reggie Wayne's a top bloke.
