Every win = 1 point. That easy.

Dude, it's the exact same thing, except in your idea you don't count losses.

Plus, it's fun to add stuff like Games Behind (like in actual standings), showing the records for each game, all of that. It just seems to fit football. which, as opposed to soccer or hockey, relies on wins/losses over a points system for standings.

Very true.

If this was the Constitutional Convention, I would be knocking my fist on the table. Oh, I love History...

As do I, as do I...

Hehe, I'll join at the beginning this year.
Count me in.

Hey Rob, you're back! Glad to have another old PS2 guy back.

How do we know you'll stick around the whole time?

Because my computer won't crash this time around :p

My picks for week 1.

Cowboys over Giants
Bears over Colts
Falcons over Chiefs
Eagles over Browns
Saints over Redskins
Lions over Rams
Patriots over Titans
Jaguars over Vikings
Jets over Bills
Texans over Dolphins
Seahawks over Cardinals
Packers over 49ers
Panthers over Buccaneers
Steelers over Broncos
Ravens over Bengals
Raiders over Chargers

My picks:

Cowboys @ Giants - Giants (Don't trust Romo or their WRs, and how can you bet against the SB champs?)
Colts @ Bears - Colts (Hopefully Luck surprises in his debut.)
Falcons @ Chiefs - Falcons (This could backfire, but I think Matty Ice and Co. will get it done.)
Eagles @ Browns - Eagles (This is not biased.)
Redskins @ Saints - Saints (Even though the Redskins added some to the offense, I don't see them beating Brees and that offense.)
Rams @ Lions - Lions (Stafford/Megatron will lead the way to a win. Sorry sjax.)
Patriots @ Titans - Patriots (It's the Patriots. Locker likely won't be able to keep up with their offense.)
Jaguars @ Vikings - Vikings (Ugh, I liked the Twins-Royals comparison. Neither will compete this year, but what the hell, let's go with Minnesota because of AP.)
Bills @ Jets - Jets (Could probably go either way, but I don't think the Jets are bad enough that they'll lose to the Bills. Could happen though.)
Dolphins @ Texans - Texans (Provided Schaub and Foster are alive by Sunday, the Dolphins don't stand much of a chance.)
Seahawks @ Cardinals - Cardinals (See Vikings/Jags. I'm going with Cardinals because I think Larry will be beating the Seattle secondary all day.)
49ers @ Packers - Packers (It's the Packers. But this'll be a pretty good game.)
Panthers @ Bucs - Panthers (Another tough one. I think Cam will impress.)
Steelers @ Broncos - Steelers (Hard to pick against Peyton when he's healthy, but not when he's facing the Steel Curtain. Provided Rothelisberger and the offense get some points on the board.)
Bengals @ Ravens - Ravens (Dalton-Green connection should be fun to watch but I think the Ravens are an overall better team.)
Chargers @ Raiders - Chargers (Raiders could pull off the upset, but I think Rivers gets it done here.)

You didn't do the Jaguars Vikings game.

Or the Jets-Bills

Sorry about that. Updated.

I'm going to change it up the formatting a bit to what we did last year. I think it'll be easier for sjax to read.

Cowboys @ Giants: Giants (Pshh)
Dolphins @ Texans: Texans (If anyone picks the Dolphins and they win, they get a cookie)
Patriots @ Titans: Patriots (If anyone picks the Titans and they win, they get a cookie)
Rams @ Lions: Lions (Matt Stafford is Young QB!)
Redskins @ Saints: Saints (Oh, c'mon, Payton's suspension isn't that big of a blow)
Eagles @ Browns: Eagles (Will the Eagles prove themselves? Well, they're going up against Cleveland, so I hope they can turn in a competitive game at least)
Falcons @ Chiefs: Chiefs (Upset alert! Arrowhead is a tough place to play, and Jamaal Charles is due for a big return to the stage)
Bills @ Jets: Bills (Fred Jackson! Fred Jackson! Fred Jackson!)
Jaguars @ Vikings: Jaguars (Vikings... suck)
Cots @ Bears: Bears (With all my Bear-hating, they're still good enough to beat the Colts, barring a lot of Luck)
Seahawks @ Cardinals: Seahawks (Marshawn Lynch is a beast)
Panthers @ Buccaneers: Panthers (Cam Newton > Josh Freeman, and other than that I'm just sort of taking a leap of faith)
49ers @ Packers: Packers (If anyone's going to stop the Packers' offense, it's the 49ers. But the Packers will come out on top... probably)
Steelers @ Broncos: Steelers (Peyton won't lead his team to victory... yet)
Bengals @ Ravens: Ravens (Bengals are getting better, but the Ravens are still the team to beat here)
Chargers @ Raiders: Raiders (Meh)
