Many otherwise prescient contestants in the NFL 2009 IDYFT Pick'em were shut out like the Rams. This should encourage anyone who missed the intro "Week One" to jump in and post their picks in the comments below. The prize is quantifiably salubrious!

I am also introducing a new weekly pick, something for the lottery lovers out there. Do you Smell a Shutout? If you desire, pick a shutout every week, but only if you're very sure: only about 3% of games are shutouts. This pick is not compulsory. If you're right you get +2, if you're wrong it's -1.
Next week's contests provide some intriguing picks. Several injuries will diminish a few teams ... but which ones? Speaking of injury, here's a bonus question: in which week will Brett Favre miss a game? Look closely at their schedule to see who might knock him out for the following week. "None" is a viable answer.
Week Two
1. Your Shoe-in? (+1 or -3)
2. Surprise! (+3) This week's underdog list:
Lions, Bengals, Rams, Texans
3. Your Favorite Team Wins/Most Disliked Team Loses (+/- 1)
4. Smell a Shutout? (+2 or -1)
5. Clash of the Titans (+/- 2):
Baltimore Ravens at San Diego Chargers
Bonus Question:
6. In which week will Favre miss a start?

Just so everyone knows, a shut-out smells like when your toaster oven catches on fire from reheating too many meat lover's pizzas.
I would have thought it might smell like burnt leg hair after you rub paper matches in your pants together in your sleep, and set yourself on fire.
1. Minnesota wins
2. Texans
3. Washington will drunkenly and savagely destroy the Rams.
4. Hells, no.
5. Balmer Raven.
6. Brett Favre doesn't miss starts. He may only play the first play of every game after week 8, but he won't miss a start.
