BRB 2011 Pick 'Em Week 1 results and awards

Greetings all, here are the standings, results and awards for week one performances in the BRB Pick 'Em league after the jump!

"Should've Put Money On It" Game of the Week: 30 of 31 pickers chose New England over Miami

"We Know Nothing" Game of the Week: No one wins it this week because 0 out of 31 pickers chose Cincinnati to upset Cleveland which obviously means we know nothing.

Sippin' on Battle Red Drank: Sixteen people put the maximum 16 points on Houston to destroy (I mean beat) the Colts

Hidin' Out In the Back of the Meeting Hall: peytonsyurdaddy and Jamkel were the only ones foolish brave enough to pick the Colts over your Houston Texans. Of course we all know peytonsurdaddy as a great contributor to our blog even though he's a Colts fan. Not sure if the same can be said for Jamkel or if he was just going for the next award on our list!

The Rex Grossman "F**k It, I'm Goin' Deep" Award: We have our first multiple award winner of the season and it's Fuzion's Follies who put down 16 points on Buffalo to defeat Kansas City who was a 6.0 point favorite. Honorable mention goes to Optimistic Pessimist who put down 15 confidence point on the same outcome. Great job guys!

The David Carr Misguided Faith Award: Since I'm new at this I hope I'm awarding this award for the right purpose. Optimistic Pessimist wins this one since he was the only person to put down a whopping 16 points to pick Miami to beat the Patriots. If I got the definition of this award wrong sorry :( If I got it right then I say Good try OP!!

The Charley Casserly Decision Making Award: This one goes to BarryfromTexas with a week one record of 6-10. I'm sure he is just trying to lull everyone into a false sense of security before unleashing (insert your favorite thing here) on all of us!
