Hmmm, it seems like Teuf's AWOL, doesn't it? I don't know where he lives in real life. Maybe he's one of those poor folks dealing with Ike's aftermath?
Anyway, I was bored, so I took a stab at compiling the Week 2 NFL picks.
Here is what I counted as winners, based on info at NFL.com, in case anyone thinks I messed up:
CHI @ CAR: CAR
BUF @ JAC: BUF
OAK @ KC: OAK
IND @ MIN: IND
NO @ WAS: WAS
NYG @ STL: NYG
GB @ DET: GB
TEN @ CIN: TEN
SF @ SEA: SF
ATL @ TB: TB
MIA @ ARI: ARI
NE @ NYJ: NE
SD @ DEN: DEN
BAL @ HOU: CANCELLED
PIT @ CLE: PIT
PHI @ DAL: DAL
Based on that, I think FireCrazy won, although there's a little bit of controversy. What was Teufel Hund's vote for PIT @ CLE??? He foolishly hates the Steelers, but was he saying so in his picks because: a.) he recognizes their mad skills and thus was being forced to pick them to win against his will, or b.) he thinks no one that evil could win and so absolutely couldn't bring himself to pick them against the Clowns--er, Browns?
I lean toward NOT giving him credit for picking the win (sorry, pal!) in fairness to FireCrazy , but I think we need a consensus and/or input from Teufel. Thoughts?
Here are the results I got, with the correct picks shown. Everyone, please check your own to be sure I didn't make a mistake:
Winning picks:
CAR, BUF, OAK, IND, WAS, NYG, GB, TEN, SF, TB, ARI, NE, DEN, PIT, DAL
Non-winning picks:
CHI, JAC, KC, MIN, NO, STL, DET, CIN, SEA, ATL, MIA, NYJ, SD, CLE, PHI

Cetric GL: 8 IND, NYG, GB, TEN, SF, ARI, PIT, DAL
Tyrtle: 9 BUF, IND, NYG, GB, SF, TB, ARI, DEN, PIT
Yanta: 8 OAK, IND, NYG, SF, ARI, DEN, PIT, DAL
Maximus Neximus: 8 BUF, IND, NYG, GB, TEN, SF, DEN, PIT
Techthys: 8 CAR, IND, NYG, TEN, TB, ARI, NE, PIT
I'm happy to throw the payment books on my single vendor at the house shown in my signature later this evening after work, if Teufel hasn't already done it at his house (I haven't checked lately.) Or if someone more well-known, and perhaps therefore more trusted, wants to volunteer, that's fine, although I won't cheat anyone. I think we should all try to pay before the deadline for Week 3 picks, which I think will again be noon Eastern time this Sunday, since the first game for Week 3 is again 1:00 p.m. Eastern, according to NFL.com.
