Default Hope I can ask, I need help!

I am in a football pool at work and need help picking them. Anything will help. I am just learning football. Hope you guys/gals can help. I never win anything so it would be cool to win something for once. It is a small pool, maybe $20 dollars. Please!
Thank you


If you can't put it here, can you email it to me?

Your picks are pretty good btw. I'd definately drop San Francisco and N.Y. Jets but other then that you did well on picking the locks and the other games could really go either way.

Tampa Bay, New Orleans, and the Giants i feel is the right side of the game to back on a straight up type play. your other plays look ok to me though.

good luck bud
