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.

Thanks Zikaris, I will do that. I am going to put in another. Thanks for you help. I picke most of those just reading this site.

bigboydan · 09-07-2006, 05:51 PM

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

darkghost · 09-07-2006, 05:59 PM

Are you playing the Saints & the Giants on the ML, BBD?

bigboydan · 09-07-2006, 06:06 PM

I'm not sure as of yet bro. although, I am considering it.

sportsfreek2184 · 09-07-2006, 09:33 PM

the giants moneyline is not appealing to me

Zikaris · 09-07-2006, 10:20 PM

I just can't see the giants winning that game. Definately play the saints ! =)

darkghost · 09-08-2006, 01:33 AM

I like the Giants. I do NOT like the Saints.
