The Week One picks sheet has now been posted and can be found at the menu bar link at the top. Week One looks to be really challenging. Just looking at all the difficult picks, I think reaching 20 Points would be a great accomplishment for the week. Please note that there are no games this weekend (September 2). Week One NFL games start next week and will be played from September 6-10. For this first week (and most, if not all weeks), the Autopicker has been turned on for the Thursday night game, but feel free to e-mail in your pick if you wish to change to the other team. There will be two games on Monday night, which means the Over/Under has been moved to the Sunday night game. Please do not forget to turn in your Week One picks by Saturday night September 8 or Sunday morning September 9 before kickoff (if you prefer).
I have also updated the Current Players page (under Club Central on the menu bar) with everyone who has signed up to play this season. So have a look at who will be joining us and competing against us for the Club Championship. Some of the codenames there (and below) are just temporary placeholders as club members make a final decision on what they want to be called this season. Personally, I’ve been debating between Fearless Tuna, Low Fat Tuna (my sister’s idea), and Papa Tuna. Head to Head Weekly and Pro Bowl Team Weekly will start in Week 2, so if you have a preferred team to be on and a team name, please let me know. Below, note some of the past accomplishments by this season’s club members:
