[Solkern]

I can't believe cinci is favored over baltimore

how lame

[Drew]

Cincinnati.

They have to start winning sometime and Baltimore has to start losing sometime. It's beyond me how such an awful team keeps winning but they do.

[Latrinsorm]

The disruption in pickem caused by Thursday night games would be a lot more palatable if I could watch them. Harumph!

[RichardCranium]

2 weeks in a row Thursday night football has fucked me out of my picks. God damn NFL network.

[Latrinsorm]

I'm all for tossing out Thursday picks altogether (while noting that I was completely right in the Ravens having an inflated record). It's just annoying.

[Drinin]

Pfft, my vote is to leave in the thursday night games, but since I'm not the one keeping track of the records . . . eh, I don't really care.

[Latrinsorm]

It actually makes it harder to keep the records if we start doing (in effect) 15 game weeks, but the reason I say toss 'em is because I'd rather more people get a chance to pick so the trembling at my eventual (fictional) domination will be all the more manifold.

[Solkern]

HOLY SHIT! dude titans kicker just NAILED a 62 yard FG to take the lead with 7 seconds left! NICE

[TheEschaton]

We came SO fucking close to beating the Chargers. That would of been upset of the year.

-TheE-

[Sean of the Thread]

It would have?

[RichardCranium]

It would have if you like the sorry ass Bills.

[TheEschaton]

Good work barely beating the Lions, jackass.

rofl Bills.

Week 6

Lions 20, Bills 17

[TheEschaton]

There's a difference. You guys supposedly have "one of the best" teams in the NFL.

It's not one of the best? How many superbowls have the bills been to this decade let alone won?

[Latrinsorm]

Ok Mr. Miami Is the Worst Team in the League.

The Titans have to have the record for fastest turnaround ever. 0-5 to beating the Colts? Not too shabby.

[Sean of the Thread]

Miami isn't the worst team in the league?

[Latrinsorm]

I'm not sure how anyone can watch the Raiders play and think anyone but the Raiders are the worst. Andrew Walter is tied for 2nd in the league in sacks taken and he's only played 8 full games.

Even throwing out the Raiders, the Lions and Cardinals are much worse than the Dolphins. There was a stretch when the Dolphins were just terrible, but they've been on a tear since the bye week.

[Stanley Burrell]

Bah.

Stupid red uniform.

[Latrinsorm]

The Raiders just gave up -5 yards of passing to the woeful Texans... and STILL managed to lose. Good call, X-man.

Standings!

RichardCranium: 11-2
Drinin: 10-4
Sergey: 9-4
Drew, Solkern: 9-5
Alfster, Latrinsorm: 8-6
Apathy, Peam: 7-7
Augie: 6-7
Eschaton, Ardwen: 6-8

The remaining picks are such that RichardCranium is guaranteed a win. Bravo, and congratulations on tying your sum of Weeks 10 and 11 combined. :)

I look forward to tabulating Xyelin's picks tomorrow around 6PM. It's a good thing you took the extra time this week, bro, I'm foreseeing a near-perfect score.

[Sean of the Thread]

<----quit playing tho I was obviously in the lead.. pwning you guys bored me.

[Latrinsorm]

<----quit playing tho I was obviously in the lead.. pwning you guys bored me.Mhm.

[Sean of the Thread]

Do the numbers lie? I THINK NOT.

Honestly I was way too busy with NCAA shit this week to be worried about a silly nfl forum pool.

[RichardCranium]

I'm back bitches.

[Drinin]

Thanks Cleveland for the playoff spot. And thanks Tennessee. Out of the guys in my division in our company pool, I was the only person who picked the Titans to win.

[Latrinsorm]

Do the numbers lie? I THINK NOT.You currently hold a lead of 4% over your nearest competitor, which is hardly dominating.

Bob Costas is an unbelievable douchebag.

[Sean of the Thread]

4% IS DOMINATING in sports picking. I still stand by my withdrawal from the competition so it's moot now.

[Latrinsorm]

It doesn't bother me if you don't make the 3/4 eligibility requirement. :)

[Apathy]

Overall?

[Sean of the Thread]

<----overall UP TO THIS POINT.


what is this 3/4 eligibility bullshit I haven't heard about until now?

[Latrinsorm]

If people haven't played for 3/4 of the games or more, I don't count them for the % listing. (That's why you're at the top of the list instead of 4th, incidentally.) You have 11 weeks, which is less than 16 * 3/4 = 12.

[Apathy]

Damnit I meant what were the overall standings.

And Seany, 1 week a season does not make...or something like that.

[Latrinsorm]

[TheEschaton]

I think I would be happy beating the resident Pats fans, RichCranium, and Sergey. Got some work to do on the latter. And maintain my lead on Drew, the resident DOLPHINS fan <vomit>.

Latrinsorm isn't including my 3 picks from thanksgiving which I got correct. I think you're behind me once those are factored in.

[Ardwen]

you're missing a pats fan....

whom you are behind heh

Ardwen
Pats fan!

[RichardCranium]

Coach Ditka says Saints FTW.

Tru.

[TheEschaton]

You're not obnoxious about it, Ardwen.

And I went 2 of 3 on the Thanksgiving picks.

-TheE-

[Latrinsorm]

Yeah I didn't factor in your picks of Thanksgiving games, Drew, good call. You leapfrog Eschaton and RichardCranium with those taken into account. I threw in those games for Xyelin, Augie, and Drinin also, but there were no resulting changes in position.

[peam]

You guys are lucky I forget about this thread 90% of the time.


Peam: 70.45% (3)

Riiiiight.
