Cool Thanks for clearing that up...

Good luck..
If you find "free play blackjack" play that shit. It's the best deal in Vegas when it comes to gambling.
It's at the janky casinos usually.. Not the big ones.

Terrible week for me. Damn.
Just curious, how do you guys make your picks? Do you just go off your instinct/knowledge of the teams, or do you actually look at the odds or whatever?
I just go off my gut, but perhaps I shouldn't be

I mostly go with the experts on TV. The odds are not always good because they're just designed to balance the betting; not pick the winner. Sometimes I go with hunches, or follow a team that's hot. I take N.E. every week, even if Brady's sister is the quarterback. This year I don't know if I'll even pick the Bears once.

I go somewhat off knowledge, but like Brian I listen a lot to the experts. Especially this early in the season, I'm still getting a grasp of who is playing for what team. I didn't even know Bradford was a Viking. Plus the experts are up to date on injuries that I don't know about. Sometimes I check stats and research past meetings and what not. I'm easily spending an hour on my picks every week, not just rushing through them and going off my gut. So far so good, but we got a long damn way to go.
Tonights pick is kind of tough. The Bears D is iffy and I hear they're missing a key player, but I feel like their offense had a couple bright spots last week. And the Eagles looked good last week but it could be a fluke, we don't know if that new QB is for real. But if Brian is afraid to pick his own team I should probably be wary as well.
Edit: I miss the expert prediction videos that came with the pickem on the ESPN site. Does anyone know what show that was and how I can watch it?

According to the pick distributions on our yahoo site, I'm taking the dogs on Cincy-Denver and Jacksonville-Baltimore. An I'm taking N.E. with no clue who's lining up behind center.

He asked if he could, but wasn't sure if he'd be allowed to because he didn't have a trade rating. (I never had a trade rating till recently Dety gave me one for paying. I believe I'm 0-3 on here when it counts). You said you had no objections and asked if any of us had objections. Nobody responded.

I guess I didn't do as bad as expected. The other contenders must have made as many wrong picks as me. I still maintain I will take the patriots to win every game and the bears to lose every game. If I change my mind on the Bears I will let you know ahead of time,

Fucking Saints at home. I thought I would have learned my lesson last year, but no I have to pick them again because they're at the dome. What's the definition of insanity? Repeating the same actions and expecting a different outcome.
I'm still keeping my basic strategy. Patriots to win and Bears to lose every week.

I was tied for first, but I shit the bed at 7-7. I don't know how long it takes the website to update the standings. The Saints continue to screw me for 2 years no matter how I pick them. And the Bears won (let's throw away that draft pick boys). Unless they go on some roll, I'll still pick them to lose every week. Detroit must really suck. Probably a lot of people made the same wrong picks as me in the upset games. I could not stop myself from picking N.E. with the 3rd string QB hurt. I didn't watch it but I heard Brady would be allowed in the stadium and on the field, the second the game was over, but since they were getting blown out I don't know if he did.

So do you change your pick on Carolina Tampa now that Cam's out? Their both 1-3 and desperate for a win. I wanted to change my pick but Tampa's point differential is so horrible. I hear that Jameis Winston of Tampa is very promising but there has got to be a lot of different things wrong with that team, not that Carolina doesn't suck too. The analysts are now saying that Cam has to change his style or he'll have a short career.

I just changed my picks away from 2 big home favorites. If one wins it's a push. If they both lose I have to stop coming home from drinking and drinking some more and watching ESPN. Maybe I should have put on a movie. If Jerry Jones decides to put Romo back in I'm fucked.

Actually I did switch against the 2 favorites G.B. and Seattle, then I switched back 2 hours later, so as long as I did those 2 in tandem, it was going to be a push either way. I got back into a tie for first, so I'm happy. I started thinking Seattle cause they were at home.
And the Colt's pay Andrew Luck to win the Super Bowl, and they can't win a game. I guess their defense blows. It's hard to be a great QB without a defense doing their job.
I don't know what's wrong with G.B. or Pittsburgh, or a lot of other teams. And whoever argued with me that the NFC East isn't relatively good, compared to usual at this point in the year (I said it at game 3), now it's game 6. Do you U want to argue now?

And idk what's up with Green Bay. I'm going to the game against the Bears on Thursday, so hopefully they look better then. They usually win when I go, so hope that continues.

This sucks. Once you get behind in the picks you have to shoot for upsets to get back in it. Didn't work out at all this week for me.

I don't know. I played about 8 years of confidence pools and came in 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. At the beginning you can take favorites, but as time goes on if you're not in first or 2nd you have to take calculated risks, because the guy in the first has little reason to.

So a tie in terms of our competition, means nothing; it never happened. In real football this could get interesting.
Anybody know what happens if the whole season for us ends in a tie. There's all these weekly tiebreakers. But I don't know?

Hi Dety You're the administrater of the pickem league right. For 48 hours I have been unable to make picks or see our group standings, just the national info. I have jumped through every hoop yahoo asked me to, including having them send me access codes to my phone 4 times. Everything comes up invalid. Any way you can help me. I think this is related to an automatic update Windows did a couple days ago. (But I'm a computer dope). I have tried using different browsers, but no luck, and no luck talking to a real person at Yahoo.

I may be mistaken, but you don't HAVE to give them your phone number.
I've used this account as my primary email address for about 7 years and just recently its been asking for my # as a backup/security thing, but I just click "no/I'll do it later" and that's that.

Just in case it needs to be said, Dety or whomever made the league, thank you for doing it. I know your choice of site is being bashed now, but there's no way you could've foreseen this. So, yeah, I hope you're not taking the site bashing as a personal insult.

This year we have a lot more people with a chance to win. By this time last season I think the disparity was much larger between ranks 1 and 5. Should make for an exciting finish. Week 10 is a super hard one for me. A lot of toss up games which can help those who have fallen a little bit back.

I fucked my self this week. I have 3 internet mouses/ mice and no matter how many times I change the batreries, they don't work. I try the 3 USB plugins and none of them work. I swear the next one I buy will have will have a cord they; they seem to last about 3 years. It's probably this piece of shit laptop I'm using.
But any of you have used a lap top without a mouse know what a hassle it is (or maybe it's my computer).
So I'm putting in my picks and every time I have to scroll down, my picks are changing. So I realize and try to check everything before I confirm my. Well I fucked up and confirmed with KC losing. So I have no one to blame except myself and this piece of shit HP notebook.
Two weeks ago I had a healthy lead and then picked liked shit, maybe 5, wins. This week I could have had 10, assuming Monday, but I guess I'm looking at nine. I shouldn't complain, I'm a contender,

I got too confident and went for a couple dumb upsets that didn't work out, now I'm pretty much out of it. I should have just kept doing what I was doing, gaining 1-2 points back a week. Now I have to get even more crazy with the upsets...

Schlong has that rule in his journal, even though it's, I'll be polite and just say I think it is an unintelligent rule. I'll pay, like I always do but this is the last time.

Didn't see you posted in this thread before I posted in NFL . I agree the rule is stupid. I won't accept your payment even if you insist, we tied in real points so accepting from you isn't right and we both know it. I'll everyone else tomorrow.

That's been the rule for the past 3 (4?) years now..
I don't recall who came up with it, but it was agreed upon then and I just kept it that way every year when I made new threads. Just copy/pasting the rules from the previous year.
I know it may not be the best, but it was we kept doing. If someone would've questioned it earlier in the year and we all agreed to it, we could've changed it... Obviously that's a moot point at the moment, but it could've benefitted or hurt anybody. That's just how it shook out in the end...
