Meh... I think I probably only picked one underdog (NO - they have to win eventually, right???). I think it's safe to say the consensus will be exactly my picks minus NO. Unless the idiot Dallas fans unite.

Talking Poker 10-11-07 04:05 PM

Just looked up. LOL that everyone else picked ALL the favorites.

You sure you couldn't do this on your own Invig just by opening a newspaper?

Invigilator 10-11-07 04:25 PM

I don't believe in newspapers. They are the tools of the devil. :D

juiCe[3x] 10-11-07 04:29 PM

For anyone that watches football regularly, all the picks look easy this week.

Talking Poker 10-11-07 04:30 PM

Yup... if we had a few more people picking, pur group picks would match the vegas lines every week, for sure.

Reel Deal 10-11-07 04:36 PM

I did take one dog... KC. Just don't see them losing 2 in a row at home.

juiCe[3x] 10-11-07 04:39 PM

I don't even look at the vegas lines ever if thats what your suggesting. I thought GB was an underdog this week but you said we all picked the favorites so guess not.

Talking Poker 10-11-07 04:51 PM

Oh, I don't know either. I just kind of assumed. When I was making my picks, I thought it was pretty obviouys who the favorites would be.

How in the world could GB at home be a dog against a beat up Washington??? I'd guess they are about a 7 point favorite.

All I was saying is that the more people you have picking, the more often the favorites are going to be picked (by the group), which SHOULD end up matching the Vegas lines exactly. It's just a probability thing.

juiCe[3x] 10-11-07 04:54 PM

Alright, my bad then, read your post wrong.

Talking Poker 10-11-07 06:34 PM

I just checked - Intertops has the Packers -3. That surprises me a little bit. I still like the Pack against that spread, but what do I know about sports betting? :o

Other spreads I like after a quick glance:
Houston + 6.5
Cleveland -4.5
Saints +6.5

I wouldn't touch the Cowboys +5.5 vs. Pats game.

Man, a gew weeks ago, who would have thought STL would be getting 9.5 vs Baltimore??? I wouldn't touch that game either.

redbank09 10-11-07 07:25 PM


picked a few dogs, so i def wouldnt go by my picks. im just trying to hit some lucky ones.

redbank09 10-11-07 09:13 PM

who is going to be playing in london?

Invigilator 10-11-07 10:45 PM


this is my basic pick list

Invigilator 10-11-07 10:51 PM

Since this week has a lot of locks, no one took me up on prediciting to beat the consensus. So, my second set submitted will take the unanimous picks, but I will go with the dissenting picks where there were any

We'll see how that goes. :cheers:

My votes for upset of the week (don't count these for your picks, it's just fun to look at some underdogs):

Miami over Cleveland - I think Miami is going to have success against the browns pass defense and with the Zac attack back should be able to stuff Clevelands running game too.

Carolina over Arizona - Testaverde's going to play on Sunday (I just have a feeling about that) and have a miracle comeback game. If their defense can keep it close Vinny should bring it home in 4th quarter (caveat: if he hasn't succumbed to arthritis by then).

Invigilator 10-15-07 06:12 PM

Big Game
 
Okay,

I put in a second set of picks that went with the decenting pic where it was not unanimous. That sheet is tied for first in this weeks pool going into tonight.

As I understand it, REGARDLESS of who wins, I take down the pool if the combined score is 30 or less. I tie if the combined score is 31.

I guess I am watching tonight!

Fildy 10-15-07 06:15 PM

Who Plays tonight?

juiCe[3x] 10-15-07 06:20 PM

Falcons and Giants

Invigilator 10-15-07 06:45 PM


Oh yeah,

The only reason numbers come into a win/loss pool, is because we have to pick the combined Monday night score for a tie breaker.
