rofl @ people actually picking the cowboys.

[Drinin]

Tough week. Where's the guaranteed winner (for my survivor pick)? I'm leaning towards Baltimore, but I don't trust that offense to score more than 3 points.

[TheEschaton]

Browns over Dolphins, duh. Miami isn't gonna win a game this year.

[Anebriated]

Cowboys D is too suspect to give them a chance imo. Easy pick = Pats. Id say Titans > Bucs should be pretty solid too if the teams continue to play the way they have.

[Solkern]

Tough week. Where's the guaranteed winner (for my survivor pick)? I'm leaning towards Baltimore, but I don't trust that offense to score more than 3 points.


baltimore is my fav team, it's sad isn't it?

If we could actually get into the end zone on a constant basis, we'd be going places

[TheEschaton]

The Bucs have been playing damn good, and the Titans are very up-and-down. Wouldn't put my money on the Titans in a survivor type pick.

[Solkern]

Young is the X factor, and ina close one, i'd put my money on him to come through in the clutch

[Skeeter]

Figured I'd jump into this. I have some free time.

Tough week. Where's the guaranteed winner (for my survivor pick)? I'm leaning towards Baltimore, but I don't trust that offense to score more than 3 points.

I went with Baltimore in my survival league since this is one of the few weeks I feel confident I'll be able to use them with at least some confidence while leaving some big dogs for later on in the season.


PS: This is a terrible week, if it weren't for Cowboy-Pats it would be a horrendous week.

Yep change whatever you like up to kickoff. Anything stamped past that is fuxored.

If you make a change for a 4pm/SNF/MNF game don't edit the original make it in a new post. Anything edited past 1pm becomes garbage.

Nicely done snapp...err xyelin.

[Sean of the Thread]

I don't get it.

[TheEschaton]

By picking Miami, you are SNAPP-ESQUE.

[Sean of the Thread]

Ahhhh.


Yeah I've got some serious dogs going today.

[Sean of the Thread]

FFS I HATE the Bucs.

Every single time I pick against them or bet against them they win. Everytime I pick them or bet on them they lose.

I'm going to non-fatally stab one of their bus tires or something.

[Sean of the Thread]

HA HA YES! GO MY LITTLE BLUE TITANICS! Tied up.. now very likely I'll at least get a fucking push out of this.

[Sean of the Thread]

OH THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS.

I didn't check but I BET that augie took the bucs too.


*Wow just went back and looked a lot of you took the bucs. Kudos. I still hate them. Yes I hate my team. Fuckers.

Got my push on the books .. my team gets another win but got fucked in all my pools. I seriously waited until the last fucking second hoping the line would move to +3 1/2. The fucking juice was @ -145 as it was.

Uh uh :)

[Tsa`ah]

Chicago loyalty is killing me.

[Solkern]

Chicago loyalty is killing me.

:D

[Brattt8525]

Closing in....

[Tsa`ah]

Closing in....

Don't hold your breath ... you'll suffocate before the 2 minute warning.

[Tsa`ah]

I'm not one to declare victory before the fat lady has had a chance, but clearly Dallas' record was the result of a cupcake schedule.

I'm surprised they were able to squeeze in 10 points against NE.

[Brattt8525]

God a first and 20 and they give it to Barber to run....so close to the end zone? damn Barber sure as hell earned his paycheck avoiding getting nailed in the end zone

[Solkern]

not even close lol

pats ftw

[Brattt8525]

Everything aside I think they played pretty well. I don't think they were *outclassed* at all.

It was actually a good game to watch.

[Daniel]

40 something to 20 something wasn't out classed?

[Stunseed]

Da Bears.

[Solkern]

40 something to 20 something wasn't out classed?



I'd call a 21 point loss being outclassed

[Tsa`ah]

21 points would count as outclassed ... that's a blowout.

[Tsa`ah]

Da Bears.

I really wish. I keep picking them out of loyalty ... this week they have given my my only loss so far.

[Anebriated]

Anyone else see that the cowboys seem completely outclassed so far?

Been saying it for a long time, the cowboys are being overrated. Hopefully this will knock em down a peg of two in the eyes of the "believers".

As for me, Im pretty happy so far with the games. Won 1 bet and lost 1 so far. Have to wait for monday night to see the outcome of the game. I cant remember how many times Ive said this(cant be many at all) but GO GIANTS!

I only did it because Daniel posted about being outclassed. You guys had no coverage for Peterson today.

[Tsa`ah]

I only did it because Daniel posted about being outclassed. You guys had no coverage for Peterson today.

Griese was on, we just had 4 fucking turnovers, Ron Turner, no fucking running game ... and an inability to convert shit.

With 2 fucking games left this week, Griese was only bumped down to the 2 spot by Brady ... and only by 7 yards ... no fucking reason why Chicago should have lost that game.

Personally ... and maybe it's just me ... but Turner should have been shit canned about the same time they benched Grossman.

[Solkern]

I've thought for a while they were overrated

they trash talk so much, now look at them, fucking smoked by the pats

pats, colts > the rest

[allen]

I cant remember how many times Ive said this(cant be many at all) but GO GIANTS!

I live close to philly and you're the only person in the area that I've ever heard say that, but don't sweat it, the gmen will pull it out

[Anebriated]

Yeah it pains me to say it too, especially living with 2 Giants fans... Ill go right back to my usual hatred when the bet is over with(especially if they lose).

[Sean of the Thread]

Greasy is good.

[Kembal]

Holy crap, I got smoked this week. At least I called the Saints winning though. :)

Going overseas tomorrow, so not going to be able to make picks for week 7. :(

[Solkern]

make your picks now

[Tsa`ah]

Looks like Tenn, Tex, Arizona, Cinn were the common Achilles this week.

I half expected NO to pull the upset ... still upset over Chicago losing to a 54 yard boot ... and Ron fucking Turner.

10-2 this week tied ... with Augie of all people.

[Latrinsorm]

Annnd the full recap:

10-2: Tsa`ah, Augie (going to the tiebreaker)
9-3: Apathy
8-4: Anebriated, Drew
7-5: chillmonster, Ardwen, Eschaton, Atlanteax, Skeeter, Alfster, RichardCranium (with an inexplicable finish near .500), Drinin, Sergey, Silvanostar, Bobmuhthol
6-6: Latrinsorm, Solkern, Snapp, Kembal, Stunseed, Brat, Bisco, Sean2
5-7: Celephais
4-8: Gallows Thief, peam

[Anebriated]

Man, this year is killin people who were pickin great last year.

[Latrinsorm]

Mm, not really. As of last week, the only people who had dropped off were Eschaton (56% last year), Alfster (57%), RichardCranium (55% and who's due for a few 12/14 weeks), Solkern (61% over 6 weeks), and Bob (53% over 6 weeks). The average % for people with more than 200 picks is 57.5%, for reference.

[Sean of the Thread]

I had a rough week. Tried to gain some ground with doggy picks... :(


What was my percentage last year Eric?

[Latrinsorm]

62.8%, unless you're late-changing some of your picks from last year. :)

[TheEschaton]

What's my percentage right now? I need to pick this shit up.

[Solkern]

did you take into account my changed pick for the redskins and packers game?

Yeah I should be 7-5

I changed my pick to the packers over the redskins :P


Can I change a pick before the games start?

if so, i'm taking the packers over the skins

[Latrinsorm]

Fair enough.

Eschaton: 54% before this week, 56% career. I reckon the dropoff is due to you being markedly less Catholic and therefore markedly more hated by the Lord, WHO WILL STRIKE DOWN UPON THEE WITH -2% NFL PICK'EM.

[Apathy]

Annnd the full recap:

10-2: Tsa`ah, Augie (going to the tiebreaker)
9-3: Apathy


I'm going to change my tiebreaker to 38 then.

[Latrinsorm]

I'm going to change my tiebreaker to 38 then.lol, I didn't even notice you had picked the Falcons. (I thought only Snapp had.) Good work though, I dunno what we would have done if the Falcons won and the combined score was 46 or lower.

[Drew]

Slow and steady wins the race.

[Celephais]

... Hmm, since changes up till the game are allowed (and I see no reason for them not to be), couldn't a few of those "already eliminated by picking the same tiebreaker as 1st place" individuals change their pick? I know it would suck to change your pick based on another person's, but it's not like we have closed ballets to begin with... Hell Sean2 is always holding out till the last minute, to look at my picks (and take the opposite).

[Apathy]

huh?

Heheh. Seriously tho you can change anything you want up to game time for our "pc league". We all agreed on that last year.


And as for the last minute... you should the time stamps on 90% of my bets. 1 minute before kickoff rofl. I have to scalp the lines or I'm not trying.

*I suggest hedging this parlay.. it even has a great middle oppurtunity. Make a bet for half of what you would win from it on ATLanta at +5 1/2.(a lot of books have it at +5 1/2 now) AT the very least you're guaranteed half of the parlay's winnings. Good opportunity to middle it and hit both however. Most 5 teamers pay out 20/1. Giants lose your parlay is dead but you get the win for half on ATL. Best would be if ATL loses by 5... you win both.

Either way you're guaranteed half. These are my favorite plays! It's hard to pass up a guaranteed profit in this world.

[Daniel]

I only did it because Daniel posted about being outclassed. You guys had no coverage for Peterson today.

Adrian Peterson is a freak. The bears are definitely stinking up the show this year. However, at least our offense is now producing, and aside from fucking some ridiculous plays I'd say we're definitely on the upswing.


Hopefully we can recover and salvage the season.

[Sean of the Thread]

I can see that happening.

[Sean of the Thread]

WHAT A FUCKING stressfull MNF. Garbage teams seriously. I don't think I've seen someone play as bad as ATL did tonight this entire year.

[Sean of the Thread]

Glad the parlay hit for you! It was clear by the half that NY was the play.

But if you're gonna get serious about this new little hobby of yours HEDGE HEDGE HEDGE ALWAYS.

[Anebriated]

I was feeling confident about that game all week, didnt want to stop short of what I thought theyd do. Hence my second bet on that game alone.

edit: i know its not the safest play, but gotta take risks sometime.

[Sean of the Thread]

Yeah was small money on it so no biggy.


To me it's all about the profit tho. Every fucking dollar.

[Doughboy]

WHAT A FUCKING stressfull MNF. Garbage teams seriously. I don't think I've seen someone play as bad as ATL did tonight this entire year.

I guess you didn't watch the six Dolphins games this year. Be sure to check out next week's fiasco. I think they play Tom Brady and his Patriots....

[Solkern]

I guess you didn't watch the six Dolphins games this year. Be sure to check out next week's fiasco. I think they play Tom Brady and his Patriots....

Should be a close one

[Drew]

Don't count out the Dolphins, as much as I want them to lose, they always play the Patriots close. Although the second game is the more likely upset by far.

[Celephais]

Having the same tiebreaker doesn't eliminate someone, so I'm not really sure what you're talking about.

10-2: Tsa`ah, Augie (going to the tiebreaker)
9-3: Apathy

If Tsa'ah, Augie and Apathy all picked the Falcons Apathy would effectively be eliminated, because if Apathy went 10-3, that would mean Tsa'ah and Augie went 11-2. So if Apathy decided to take the Giants, just because the leaders did not choose them, they'd be giving themselves a shot when they had none.

In that same situation if we take Apathy out of the equation and both Tsa'ah and Augie went with the Giants, and Tsa'ah had 20 points and Augie had 35 ... at the last minute Augie might as well change her tiebreaker pick to 21 points... because instead of having the win at 35+ points, she'd have the win at 21+

[allen]

only a fool would of picked the falcons

[Latrinsorm]

So if Apathy decided to take the Giants, just because the leaders did not choose them, they'd be giving themselves a shot when they had none.Right, Sean2 already did that this year (ironically, taking a win from Apathy iirc).
at the last minute Augie might as well change her tiebreaker pick to 21 points... because instead of having the win at 35+ points, she'd have the win at 21+Yes, that would also be an example of gamesmanship that is not expressly forbidden. What confused me was how you said changing the tiebreaker would de-eliminate someone, when what you meant was changing the MNF game.

Right, Sean2 already did that this year (ironically, taking a win from Apathy iirc).Yes, that would also be an example of gamesmanship that is not expressly forbidden.

Yeah I fucked that up... I guess I see the MNF game as a tiebreaker game, so changing their "tiebreaker game" pick.

Pretty dick move... but well I'm not surprised that Xyl would do that :yes:

Don't count out the Dolphins, as much as I want them to lose, they always play the Patriots close. Although the second game is the more likely upset by far.

It really wouldn't surprise me one bit if the Dolphins beat the Pats. Who was it that they beat mid season last year that was undefeated? The Bears?

And I forgot: CONGRATS AUGIE!! :D

Can we get an updated YTD standings?

[Latrinsorm]

I'll do ytd standings after weeks 8, 13, and 17.

Of course the Dolphins just traded their one live body on offense Chambers, so good luck there

Chambers is like Randy Moss with less talent. Gives up on plays, doesn't play hard, drops passes he should catch. Maybe he'll turn up his level of play in San Diego but every year with the Dolphins he would just make a few spectacular catches that got on Sportscenter but never played consistently or hard. I don't know any Dolphins fans who like him.
