The 2012 ITB Suicide Contest Thread

Our favorite game is back...no not NFL football but the annual ITB Suicide Contest. Don't know if Keith has any goodies left in the closet but maybe a t-shirt will be at stake.

For the uninitiated, the quick rules for the game are that you choose one game each week where you declare which team wins. If that team loses, you're out of the contest. If your team wins, you continue to the next week but you are forbidden from choosing that team again for the rest of the game, making each week a little harder because you'll have fewer good teams left to choose from.

Obviously, whichever game you choose, you have to call it before that game kicks off and you can't change your mind after the game you select has begun (i.e. don't call Tennessee and then change your selection to San Diego at halftime of the Tennessee game.)

Here's your Week 1 schedule: (all times Central)

Wed, Sept. 5th
Dallas at NY Giants (NBC, 7:30 pm)

Sun, Sept 9th
Atlanta at Kansas City (Fox, Noon)
Buffalo at NY Jets (CBS, Noon)
Indianapolis at Chicago (CBS, Noon)
Jacksonville at Minnesota (CBS, Noon)
Miami at Houston (CBS, Noon)
New England at Tennessee (CBS, Noon)
Philadelphia at Cleveland (Fox, Noon)
St. Louis at Detroit (Fox, Noon)
Washington at New Orleans (Fox, Noon)
Carolina at Tampa Bay (Fox, 3:25 pm)
San Francisco at Green Bay (Fox, 3:25 pm)

Pittsburgh at Denver (NBC, 7:20 pm)

Mon, Sept 10th
Cincinnati at Baltimore (ESPN, 6:00 pm)
San Diego at Oakland (ESPN, 9:15 pm)

Remember, we can all see the time stamps so don't think about editing your pick after you've made it. Good luck to all.
