Football kicks off this Thursday night. This will be the first time in 30 years that I have not joined my old work buddies football pool. Hooter passed away last October and nobody wanted to start up his pool-just won't feel right with out Hooter. Anyway the point of my post- I did pretty good in his pool winning a couple of times and always finished in the top three. I found this web site that made it all happen. So if any of you guys like to bet the games or play in a pool this might help. www.thepredictiontracker.com/prednfl.htmlHere is site that shows what games will be played on tv in your area 506sports.com/nfl.php?yr=2020&wk=1

I'm assuming you are talking Fantasy Football. I wish I followed the individuals enough to make it worthwhile, but I guess I'm a more pedestrian NFL fan. I know which teams are hot or cold, and generally why. But beyond that, I would have no idea how to handle a team in a pool. Wish I did... it would probably be fun.

Yes, Straight up wins. It was all on paper till they shut down the print shop we worked at in 2009 and then He moved it online to Yahoo

His league would do it all by mail. Once a week, they would use the box scores from the papers and send out their stats on a weekly basis via mail to another one to get checked. He loved it and had the patience for it. I don't know what he'd think of having it fully automated. Towards the end, he was at least able to send out stats via e-mail.

My sister runs our family football pool (pick the winner of each game but the line is included and it's confidence numbers 1 thru 16 or however many games played that weekend). We have been doing this for 15-20 years and I texted her yesterday telling her that the season kicked off on Thursday. She had no clue. None. I'm about to fill out my picks.

I've done pretty well using some different online handicapping sites. Feels like cheating a little, but I figure half the other people are doing it so what the hell?

I used to feel a little like it was cheating -but it's just information and a tool to use to help make your picks- We had players that would always choose the Raiders and one guy that always picked the Rams, those teams would never win more than 5 games a year.

I've used the one you posted the last couple of years. I've used this guy's site for a few seasons and did well, too: gtdsports.weebly.com/Sometimes he's not good about updating his picks so I stopped using it.

The Rams game was a good one- can't wait someday when I can go see a live game at the new stadium. I still have a few games to watch on DVR. Not as hyped up as previous years for the start of the season but it wasn't too bad. Not sure how I feel about the fake crowd noise -it messes up with the levels when you wear headphones. I'm hoping the Monday night announcers don't suck

That SoFi Stadium is unreal. They had some aerial shots of it... holy shizzle! I'm sure it has a 'love it or hate it' thing going on but I thought it was really cool. The Bears comeback win was unexpected and [pardon the baseball talk] then the Cubs starting pitcher, Alec Mills tossed a no-hitter! Whatta Sunday!!

They almost built that stadium within a mile from my house in the hills surrounding Diamond Bar and the City of Industry. The Raiders were supposed to play there and it caused such a stink that all of the surrounding towns held protests. The developers said they would build an on-site state of the art jailhouse to hold all of the rowdy Raiders fans.

It was a fun game to watch-I had problems with my ISP crapping out on me between halftime and the 3rd quarter but other than that it was fun to watch. I didn't have a dog in this fight but I found my self rooting for the Browns and still cheering for the rookie QB on the Bengals.
