Not as easy to pick the winner as you think is it. Obviously looks like non of us make a living on betting.

I'd a starved to death! :bl:

JohnR 11-24-2015 05:43 PM

So I want to clarify, I have not bet against the Pats in years so I don't know how my pick was for Buffalo last night - something is sneaky :nailem:

nightfighter 11-24-2015 06:02 PM

Yeah, sure..... Thought it was a ballsy pick, but given your lead, was not a bad idea. Nice grouping for the weekly bottom threesome.....:btu:

Some observations;

NFL does not have its chit together, especially with officiating
Quality of the product is lower than I can remember
Cincinnati was not worthy of being undefeated as long as they were and will be exposed as their schedule is not pretty.
Phillip Rivers is a fraud. Tired of hearing he is an elite QB
Kicking game is playing a much larger part in determining winners, esp extra points
Could these games be rigged???? Certainly feels like it.

Hahah - really - I don't bet against the Pats. Ever anymore. Superstition.

9 games out of first with 6 to go. What a screwy season, that 3 and 4 total is killing me!

piemma 12-14-2015 05:13 AM

Well, I got really busy last week with family and work around here getting ready for the Holidays. I missed entering my picks. If you miss entering you go 0 for 16 so I am out of it after being in 3rd place for awhile.

You guys carry on!

Swimmer 12-14-2015 10:18 AM

thats what happened first week with me, 0-16, ....

Thank God its just for braggin' rights. If there was money involved I'd be kicking myself.

Guppy 12-15-2015 05:17 PM

And we are not playing against the spread. If we were our win loss would be about 10 %.

Got what I needed tonight.... all but two of you picked opposite me. Just happens to be the Bucs for me, but the team hardly matters. From here on in it is all about picking the upsets, AND winning the games that the leaders/majority don't pick. Risky, but its going to be live or die by the sword for the rest of the season if you want to make a move....

nightfighter 12-18-2015 07:41 AM

And last night the strategy cost me.....

beamie 12-18-2015 07:48 AM

Let's see, one game closer to Nightfighter......nice.

You are absolutely correct though. In order to catch up, you have to take a gamble and try to predict the upset otherwise you will never catch up. Any given Sunday!

Well, I guess picking TB didn't work, did it? LOL

Nice picking, John.... you are in the zone. All season.

Might be my best week and I made these picks on December 12th before going on the cruise :laugha: and last weeks results. :smokin:

tysdad115 12-20-2015 07:37 PM

I took the Giants as my "upset" pick..damn they came close.And Miami apparently left their D in FL as for my SF pick ? Well that was obviously an acid flash back.

I think JohnR is hearing footsteps......

JohnR 01-11-2016 06:07 PM

JohnR has breathing on his neck :eyes:

Won the regular season, will loose in the playoffs

Swimmer 01-12-2016 08:54 PM

Wish I didn't miss that first week.

What team ever claims that? Best of luck, regardless

nightfighter 01-17-2016 04:28 PM

Yeah, I agree, Chuckie. Tastes the same as 18-1

Doing a last minute flip on this last game..... Need to take a chance to move up and can't be rooting against who I want in the AFC Championship game.

Tunabreath 01-17-2016 05:04 PM

Great playoff games so far, that Green Bay vs Arizona game was unreal.

nightfighter 02-08-2016 03:18 PM

Tunabreath and JohnR in a tie for the crown! Congrats guys!

I forgot to put in my pick yesterday, it would have lost anyway. Red was the only one who picked Denver. Thanks for running it Bob.

Was a lot of fun. Hope to have more playing next year.

Swimmer 02-08-2016 04:12 PM

Forgot to pick yesterday, chit. Picked Denver in every other venue but here
