Done. Been training all summer to get to week 4.

[fandandy 3,311]

Thanks and in Hopefully Skids can make it past week one this year.

 

Also, are we gonna do a Pro Football Pick 'em?

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Hmm, might be hard to get people in and set for pick 'em in time with tonight's game...unless we decide to start from Week 2. If so, what other settings does everyone want (drop lowest week, confidence vs spread, etc)?

[fandandy 3,311]

Good point. Last year it was confidence vs spread. I thought that was fun.

Are both starting week 2?

Are both starting week 2?

 

Just the pick em (since the survivor pool only locks 5 minutes before each team's game time and thus people can still take any team but NE/KC before Sunday if they join late).

[nzoner 936]

Well that was fun

[fandandy 3,311]

Well that was fun

I was watching bits of that game and thought I had picked Houston. Luckily I must have changed my mind and picked the Steelers.

Be careful, I win both of these things with great frequently, (although not lately). I'm also the only Geek to ever go all 17 weeks without getting eliminated.

[supermike80 1,285]

I went like 3-13 but got the Steelers right

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Remember to set your confidence. A couple other people had the Texans covering last night, but I was the only one who actually got points for it.

[cyclone24 1,805]

It's confidence AND against the spread??!!

 

 

Yep I'm out.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,566]

never done this before, but got 77 so far this week, kinda fun

[fandandy 3,311]

Poor cdub. He got almost all correct but didn't set his confidence points.

[TommyGavin 788]

Having a Thursday game turned me off to these pools.

[fandandy 3,311]

Why? How hard is it to remember to pick a winner Thursday? I think these are fun and I'm prolly gonna win.

[TommyGavin 788]

 

Habit ? For years and years set aside some time in a Friday to do all my research. Fantasy, betting. Don't think of it all week until Friday.

 

I'm hard pressed to set fantasy lineup for Thursday's game. Hate the Thursday game.

[edjr 5,547]

am I winning?

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Meh, worst case you set Thursday as your lowest confidence and go about your routine after. You don't have to make all of your picks before the first game of the week.

[Voltaire 4,554]

Oh, good grief. I didn't realize this was a different variation than the method that we always used previously. I' d gottei so many marked wrong thatI'd gotten right. I just chucked a good twenty+ points.

 

I don't know if my heart is in it but i'll continue to plug in, at least for a while.

Sorry, no one was specific in saying confidence OR spread, just the one person who said confidence AND spread. If people want to start it over with one of those things specifically I have no problem remaking it.

It's probably better this way but we'd never done it like this and I didn't realize there had been a change.

[nzoner 936]

Same here,just got back from vacation and checked my scores

[fandandy 3,311]

Well, that was easy. Two years in a row. You guys kinda suck at this.

[Voltaire 4,554]

i use to feel the same way, was winning both this and pick em routinely. Congrats.

 

The one year, I'd won all 17 games, three weeks of playoffs to include the Baltimore upset of Denver, but lost SF to Baltimore in the Super Bowl.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,566]

someone needs to make a move in my direction

 

sadly when I bet against spreads for real money I suck, but here, I am at like 75%

 

11/14 this week

[fandandy 3,311]

I'm doing awful in the pick em', that's why I felt compelled to brag of my week 5 victory. If i were a professional gambler I would out of work and hungry.
