Big stakes are present. The Baltimore Beatdown staff is selecting teams and battling it out for a chance of Chipotle burrito deliciousness. Week one was set yesterday and my excitement for regular season football infused with the Baltimore Beatdown Podcast and also cold beer & wings spaced the writing. Baltimore Beatdown's week one Pick Em!

Currently everybody except Yitzi has 1 correct answer as he decided upon favoring the Steelers in last nights match-up. Everybody boo Yitzi please. There is no group sitting at a 50-50. The biggest splits are 5-3. The upset special can easily be the San Francisco 49ers ruining everybody's Minnesota Vikings pick. Another upset being Green Bay Packers losing to the Chicago Bears. If this happens expect Brian to laugh in everybody's face.
Baltimore Vs. Denver is a 6-2 split with Nathan & Kyle being the non-believers. Maybe the optimism of the other staff wants Baltimore to win, or Kyle & Nathan are having PTSD from last time Baltimore visited Mile High...shivers.
