Wizard Of Vegas NFL Pool 2011

With the Wizard's permission I have decided to head up the official WOV NFL Pool 2011. Any one can participate and all are encouraged. There is no charge and the only prize is bragging rights, unless the Wiz wants to autograph a book or something. The web site below is the place to go. The pool is already set up in there. When you go to the site just click on join pool. The proper pool ID is shown below along with the password. You will then need to create a password and Userid to login in week to week to make picks and to check on your progress. The site is really great at tracking your progress and showing results. You can also get automatic emails to remind you to make your picks if you forget. If you miss a game or games it doesn't matter you can still participate, it merely reduces your chances of winning the overall at the end. So lets all get out there and participate and have some fun.

The pool password is stinky23.

Also if you have any questions or problems feel free to post them in this thread and I will do my best to answer or solve them. Remember the first game is tomorrow night so your picks need to be in by then. All picks are with the spread by the way and the spread does not remain live (change during the week).

I'd like to add that I endorse this as an official WoV "thing." My thanks to thlf for getting this going. One thing that may scare some off is the site asks for an Email address. However, I think you can put in anything, just remember as that serves as part of your logon.

The winner will get a mystery prize from me, but mostly bragging rights.

Ok. I'll let my strategy out in advance:

Always pick the Steelers
Always pick whoever plays the Cowboys
All other picks at random.

Yes, I know the spread renders the first two parts meaningless. I understand the concept of "spread" that far anyway...

The main purpose of the email address request is to send you reminders to make your picks. Don't fear, I used this site last year and never got anything from them other than the reminders. Also your email address is never shown anywhere to anyone else. Just use a different name as your ID. It would probably be nice if everyone used there WOV name so we all know who is doing what.

I am in, and will be using my coin-flip picks. If I win maybe someone out there will see it and write an artice about it.

Yes, but will it beat my pick a few teams and then "randomly" click method.

If I get the 52% needed to beat the vig I will be amazed. But I have always wondered and decided to say "why not" this year. One less thing to do before I die. And easier than getting Erin Burnett to go out with me.......

Ok everyone today's the day. Get signed in and start pickin. Nareed I here your fantastic strategy but I don't see you signed in yet. We have eleven people so far but I always see far more experts than that on here. Let's see who can beat the Wiz at his own game. Remember it's totally free and now the Wiz say's there is a mystery prize involved. Is it a house, a car, a personal dinner with da man himself? You won't know if you don't try. Go to the top of this thread for the website and sign in instructions.

Ok I have decided to give you all a little heads up. I am taking New Orleans to cover the spread tonight against GreenBay in the opener. I do not know who the Wizard picked but I'm even willing to give him this fantastic pick for free.
