All good, as the season goes on ill start to show win% based on total picks submitted which is nice for people who miss a week, start late, or for whatever reason skip picks some week.

also you may still be able to beat solkern...

[Suppressed Poet]

Anebriated, thanks for putting this together & keeping up with it.

[Anebriated]

no problem, outside of my kids, sports are my passion. I also use stuff like this to mess around in excel and practice different formulas and ways to scrape data which comes in handy at work.

Mhmmm…

Or you were waiting on that final injury report & the latest inside scoop on Swift / Kelce situation before locking in your picks. Well played sir.

[Anebriated]

I was ready to comment on how we should all be waiting to see injury reports before making our picks before I realized that you meant Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift and not the true combo of Jason Kelce and D'Andre Swift

[Suppressed Poet]

Anebriated we can be all cordial and friendly both now and after, but just know that the week of November 5th when the Cowboys play the Eagles and/or when the Rangers play the Phillies in the World Series (God willing)…I’m going to be like:

[Anebriated]

Im with you, we can be friends now but in those times you are basically Seran to me.

[Solkern]

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

[Solkern]

Wow, I’m the only one that picked the ravens?!

[Anebriated]

I'm pleasantly surprised by last nights game. Eagles were missing both starting safeties and their slot corner against arguable the best passing offense in the league... Took the Dolphins here knowing that id be happy to lose that pick if by some miracle it happened. Turns out if you stop their run and keep their offense off the field for 36 minutes they arent as potent.


edit: also that kelly green looked amazing, they need to bring it back full time.

This was legit the best I have seen Eagles play this season. They made one of the best teams look regular.

I still hate them though.


edit: also that kelly green looked amazing, they need to bring it back full time.

I hope not.. they need to keep the new color.. the old color reminds me of the Randal Cunningham/Reggie White eras.. and I hated them both.

[Suppressed Poet]

I was watching the Rangers, but catching the Eagles game highlights this morning…I agree.

Solkern: Every so often I guess your wild gambling pays off. Ravens embarrassed the Lions.

[Anebriated]

I thought I couldn't want the kelly green any harder yet here we are...

edit: yeah the Lions looked like they forgot how to play football yesterday. Ravens came out and looked like they should have looked all year. Credit to them for playing well. Im just salty because I bet the Lions.

[beldannon5]

I think this may go down as my worst week of picks ever lol

[Anebriated]

I think most of us will say that too haha. Solkern will probably have his best week.

[Solkern]

It was the smart pick, the Lions have played nobody good, except the chiefs who were depleted because of injuries and just barely won. They were overhyped big time. The Lions DC is infamous for being horrible against mobile quarterbacks and the ravens are now 16-1 against the NFC. Was an easy pick.

[Anebriated]

yeah but Baltimore wasnt what we would qualify as a good team either. They looked like it yesterday but there was nothing ahead of time to indicate they would suddenly look like they put it together.

[Solkern]

Top 2 defense, top 10 offense, is not good a good team? Other than two fluke losses, they’ve been legit. They been doing this under a complete revamped offensive scheme and new OC, they just started putting it together last week.

Who have they played?

[Solkern]

Who have they played?

Bengals, Browns and now lions.

Browns have the number 1 defense, ravens dropped 28 on them.

[Anebriated]

09/10 Houston W 25-9 Home
houston has looked better than expected but took a few weeks to hit their stride

09/17 Cincinnati W 27-24 Away
do i even need to say it?

09/24 Indianapolis L 19-22 Home
Rookie QB and middle of the pack team

10/01 Cleveland W 28-3 Away
Dorian Thompson-Robinson was in at QB

10/08 Pittsburgh L 10-17 Away
Terrible team and you still lost

10/15 Tennessee W 24-16 Neutral
Terrible team

10/22 Detroit W 38-6 Home
First good win. although by your own admission they havent played anyone good so maybe it wasnt that good of a win?

I don’t think the lions were that good, I’ve already stated that. :D

[Anebriated]

in which case the Ravens still haven't played a team with playoff aspirations this year aside from the Bengals who have been the biggest disappointment in the league.

[Suppressed Poet]

The Ravens are about as good of a football team as Jada Pinkett-Smith is to being a wife.

[Anebriated]

We have a 3 horse race for the win this week, all with 6 wins. Everyone has the 49ers tonight. Anyone with 5 wins(everyone else except me because I went against my Eagles...) want to switch their pick and go for the hail mary? Going to come down to tiebreakers this week.

Solkern - 52
Suppressed Poet - 46
Parkbandit - 53


I would also argue that Neveragain taking the Patriots was more impressive than Solkern taking the Ravens. The only two instances of lone wolf picks this week.

[Suppressed Poet]

A 3 way tie with 6 wins…lol. It was a strange week in the NFL.

[Anebriated]

very weird week. There are only 12 games so far this week compared to 14-16 normally on weeks with byes which didnt help. Was definitely a "this is why they play the games" type week. Bills, Commanders, Bucs and Packers all came down to the 2 minutes or so and a real chance to end with either team winning.

Actually I’ll change my pick to the Vikings.

Was an easy pick. They were trash talking Belichick all week, OG had a point to prove.

Weather played a bigger factor than anything. High winds all weekend fucked both college and NFL games.

Tranny. :rofl:

If this were for money or serious competitive play, I’d take issue with changing picks & would advocate for a rule that they are locked in once Thursday’s game starts. Since it’s not, that’s fine by me.

[Anebriated]

Ive never had an issue with it, the game hasnt started so why shouldnt people be allowed to adjust?

just like changing a fantasy football roster, if they announce a QB is out the day of the game why should everyone be penalized for the information that wasn't available thursday?

That said we probably should put a limit on that. Say an hour before game start. That way you dont have someone last second coming in and doing what you could have done tonight by changing your tiebreaker to 51 and trapped Solkern at 52 with PB at 53. it would have been hilarious though.

Yeah I’m not trying to make things complicated or put up a fuss. I’m cool with it. It’s all in good fun here. It’s a smart move by Solkern because his tiebreaker number was sandwiched between mine & PB’s.

To answer your question though, I don’t know if you play fantasy football through the ESPN app but it works the same way. There is a deadline to set your roster for the week before Thursday game. If your QB that plays Monday night gets in a bad car wreck or something between Thursday - Monday, you are SOL. That’s just what I’m used to.

Solkern just decided he wanted to lose. Vikings are not beating the 9'rs.

Theres definitely a cutoff but I definitely make moves in every league im in minutes before games start. There have been times I found out last minute that my guy was out and I had no backup and I have been able to grab a FA who plays a later game and get them into the lineup. I dont know what kind of league you play in but Im in leagues on ESPN, Yahoo and Fleaflicker and I do a DFS league on draftkings. None of them block moves like you are saying.

I only have experience with ESPN app & my winning team: A$$n’TDs.

Maybe it’s my league’s rules? I’m in with these weird mostly Koreans since 2009 or so, as I got introduced to them through my (at the time) work colleague. We used to have live draft parties before Covid. They’re all lame now & it’s all remote. Anyways, I believe you…that’s just been my experience that picks are locked for the week after midnight eastern time Thursday. I just assumed that’s how they all worked.

[Solkern]

I’ve never heard of any league locking in picks, every league I’ve been in you can change anything up until kickoff.

[Solkern]

Solkern just decided he wanted to lose. Vikings are not beating the 9'rs.

You were saying?

[Suppressed Poet]

You were saying?

You can have it.

THE TEXAS RANGERS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! WOOOOT!!!

[Solkern]

THE TEXAS RANGERS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES!!! WOOOOT!!!

With so many close games and upsets, I just felt like the 49ers were gonna fall flat.

[Anebriated]

Wont lie, I thought the Vikings would keep it close. From the betting angle almost 90% of the money was on the 49ers and the line went from -7 to -6.5 which is very uncommon. typically means the team that was the underdog would keep it close if not win outright.

congrats on the Rangers SP! Im sweating out another day of a series that we should have put away in Arizona. Nervous too now because even if we do win we havent played well against the Rangers and wouldn't have home field anymore(we would have vs the Astros).

Thank you sir. Good luck tonight. Philly is the better team against the Diamondbacks, and I hope they win so we can talk mad shit during the World Series. We’re undefeated on the road so I’m not as stoked about the home field advantage, but trying to score game tickets now.

[Neveragain]

This didn't age well.

[Realk]

because baseball came into it. I'd rather face Philly than Arizona.. we did nothing against the Dbacks this year.

[Realk]

Phillies are the better team, might as well have to play against the best.

[Suppressed Poet]

Also, for some odd reason, Dallas as a city just seems to struggle playing against Phoenix in any sport. I don’t know why.

Rangers tickets for the World Series start at $582 for nosebleed seats in case anyone was wondering. Ouch.

[Realk]

582 dollars is the drop in the hat, it's the 200 dollar parking that will kick you in the backside.

[Anebriated]

Should Philly win I’m sure this will become a thing but the regular season started with Philly vs Texas for our teams. Would be a nice ironic finish, though hopefully with a different result.

I had not even thought about that, Texas did start the season there yet the media kept saying we havent played anybody to prove ourselves. Yet here we are with Texas and Philly now.

582 is cheaper than what i saw it was 635 or something for some standing room only tickets.

I’ve got a rich uncle-in-law that threw out he would buy tickets and take us to a game if the Rangers made it. We’ll see what happens. I’m a casual baseball fan. That’s just not worth it to me.

having a rich uncle is better than the drunk uncle. going out to the watch parties at globe life was pretty affordable though. I dont ever think i'll open my wallet enough for a world series game no matter how much I love the sport.

Philly was not a good team until mid summer. After the standing ovation for Trea Turner we played at a 100+ win pace. previously was like 70 win pace.

I do not keep track of the NL that closely. Harper chirping the starting rotation being shaky. a good utility player isnt much to brag about. not being hostile at all cause i hope Philly does win this afternoon.

[Anebriated]

not really sure what you are referring to there but all good. Focused 100% on tonight. ill be drinking early and often to get through the night...

go Phillies

Hey on the bright side, Dallas is coming to the city of brotherly love to kick some ass on November 5th.
