[joeybee12]

4. I think Philly is falling apart...I mean, they're so bad....

the Cowpies might win this division!

[Auggie]

[Forkboy]

Last week was a tough one. :)

[brendan120678]

Indianapolis / 13 / ST LOUIS -- Indy
CINCINNATI / 1 / Chicago -- Chicago
Green Bay / 9 / CLEVELAND -- Green Bay
PITTSBURGH / 4.5 / Minnesota -- Minnesota

New Orleans / 6 / MIAMI -- Miami
DALLAS / 4 / Atlanta -- Dallas
NY GIANTS / 7 / Arizona -- NY Giants
Philadelphia / 7 / WASHINGTON -- Philly

[joeybee12]

11. I have a feeling the Jets were 3-0 solely due to the "thrill of new management" factor...

...and the past 3 games were more like they'll play the rest of the season.

[JonLP24]

9. Logged on for this

Friday is picks day..

San Diego
Indianapolis
Cincinnati
Green Bay
Minnesota
New England
(Tough, is it going to be San Francisco D or the one that showed up against Atlanta?)
I'll go with Houston given that are at home but this is a real head scratcher.
Oakland
Buffalo
Miami (#1 rush offense)
Atlanta
Arizona
Philadelphia

Now I prepare for my first losing week. :scared:

[Auggie]

10. I don't expect Mike Singletary

to allow that type of sloppy play two games in a row.

FYI: There have been changes on the O line and Michael Crabtree will play. But don't change your pick on account of what I say -- it is a head scratcher.

[JonLP24]

12. I'm aware of Crabtree likely starting

Didn't know about the O-line though. The offense wasn't what I was mainly concerned about but it was the defense. Really if San Francisco plays their normal D they will win. Houston has weapons on offense and a good O-line which is key. Though I lean to San Francisco based on defense. San Francisco shouldn't have many problems against the Texans D especially with Gore back and I really can't decide which is why I gave the edge to the Texans based on the fact that they are home.

[Auggie]

13. That's probably the right thing to do

It's dumb, but I hate betting against the 49ers

[JonLP24]

18. I don't think it's dumb

I never pick against the Cardinals. ;) I forget San Francisco came off the bye so they should be readily prepared. It will certainly be a tough game for both teams. No clear winner. :hi:

[JonLP24]

31. It looks like San Fran. benched Shaun Hill and put in Alex Smith and he throws a TD

Interesting given Hill's record as a starter for the 49ers but he isn't real effective. Nice to see Alex Smith come in there and do something for them.

[JonLP24]

32. Alex Smith mounting a comeback

2 touchdown passes now. 21-14 Houston.

[madinmaryland]

14. Here goes....

After only three last week, ugh!!

KANSAS CITY
Indianapolis
Chicago
Green Bay
PITTSBURGH
New England
HOUSTON
OAKLAND
CAROLINA
New Orleans
DALLAS
NY GIANTS
WASHINGTON

[joeybee12]

15. So, last week was your best week so far? n/t

[madinmaryland]

16. I was the winner a couple of weeks ago.

:D

[joeybee12]

17. Oh that's right...no one else played that week!

:evilgrin:

[JonLP24]

19. Standings

By winning percentage. Minimum of 3 weeks otherwise BOSSHOG is in first place with his 10-6 record after his only week(1) of play. Even though Bill McBlueState has the highest I give first place to Condem for his impressive record for every week of play.

Rank (Record) PCT Weeks Played
1. Condem (52-38) 58% 1,2,3,4,5,6
2. Bill McBlueState (26-18) 59% 3,4,5
3. brendan120678 (34-26) 57% 2,3,4,6
4. Auggie (49-41) 54% 1,2,3,4,5,6
5. JonLP24 (49-40) 55% 1,2,3,4,5,6****
6. Forkboy (45-44) 51% 1,2,3,4,5,6*****
7. Angleae (36-38) 49% 2,3,4,5,6
8. joeybee12 (20-26) 43% 2,3,4
9. madinmaryland (18-26) 41% 2,5,6
10. BOSSHOG (10-6) 63% Week 1

****JonLP24 did not make a pick on Seattle/St Louis week 1 so since Auggie did he gets the edge.
*****Forkboy did not make a pick on Tennessee/Pittsburgh week 1. Also I made sure to count the Denver/Cleveland pick as you were correct in that one. :hi:

[Auggie]

21. +1000

Wow -- thank you, JonLP24. I was thinking of doing this but wouldn't have done it as well or complete as you have. This rocks.

Condem, Bill McBlueState, and brendan120678 -- you have been awesome.

[JonLP24]

23. Thank you

I recently started bookmarking all of these threads and I was planning to do it when the season was over but I decided just to do it to see where we were at. Good thing though as I was adding up well over 100 games and so forth. It would've been a mess to do this at the end of the season with nothing to reference and counting all the weeks and picks.

At first I was going to rank them simply by wins but when I got to brendan and Angleae I realized it wasn't going to work. So I thought up the winning percentage idea and now it seems more logical to do triple digits like in batting average but I rounded the third number if it was 5 or higher to the 2nd number. For example .555 would got .56 under my system.

I double checked everyone and the ones with fewer then 6 weeks I triple checked to make sure I got the weeks right and to make sure I didn't miss any of their picks. mad and joey I quadruple checked because joey had 2 higher picks then mad with the same amount of weeks and I checked to figure out why which is week 3 had more choices then week 5.

[Forkboy]

22. Cool.

I need to have a couple good weeks in a row to get safely above .500

[JonLP24]

24. It looks like that Denver/Cleveland pick paid off after all

:toast: to being higher then .500. :hi:

[Angleae]

20. Hopfully I'll do better than the past couple of weeks.

San Diego
Indianapolis
Chicago
CLEVELAND

[Condem]

28. Wouldn't miss it for the world, guys.

Woke up late after celebrating last night's buzzes beater in East Lansing. Man, IC was just smoking. The bars all emptied out. Everyone in the street. Amazing. Brings a tear to this old man's eye, to tell ya the truth.

[JonLP24]

27. I should copy off you Mr. First Place

:hi: :)

[givemebackmycountry]

29. A weekend without my Broncos on the field - we'll still be 6-0 come Tuesday -

I want the Ravens next weekend.
We owe those bastards one...

Here we go!

San Diego / 4.5 / KANSAS CITY -- Kansas City (ever been to Arrowhead? I have... smells great, tough as nails to play at)
Indianapolis / 13 / ST LOUIS -- Indy
CINCINNATI / 1 / Chicago -- Cincy
Green Bay / 9 / CLEVELAND -- Green Bay
PITTSBURGH / 4.5 / Minnesota -- Minnesota
New England / 14.5 / Tampa Bay (At London) -- Patriots (lock of the week)
HOUSTON / 3 / San Francisco -- Houston
NY Jets / 6 / OAKLAND -- Da' RRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSS!
CAROLINA / 7 / Buffalo -- Bills
New Orleans / 6 / MIAMI -- 'Fins
DALLAS / 4 / Atlanta -- Falcons (How 'bout dem Cowpies!)
NY GIANTS / 7 / Arizona -- Cards
Philadelphia / 7 / WASHINGTON -- Redskins (Go Iggles?)

[JonLP24]

30. I nearly picked Kansas City because of Arrowhead

I have watched A LOT of Broncos games in my life and I have RARELY seen them beat Kansas City at home. One of those times was in 1996-1997 playoffs. That was a great game there that went down to the last play.

[givemebackmycountry]

33. I was at that game....

After, in the frozen Arrowhead parking lot was not a happy scene.
But, I had 30 Broncos fans partying with us and we got a lot of shit but no one messed with us.
We even had Chief fan drinking Tequila shots with us.

I wanted to fly to Pittsburgh the following week, but we couldn't find tickets.

What a year for Broncos nation.

[Auggie]

34. WEEK SEVEN RESULTS

First: issues and such

Ties: We had one this week: S.F.@ Houston. I'm not planning on counting them in standings. Anyone thinks otherwise let me know.

Ties will be indicated by "P" (Push).

Thanksgiving, Thursday night and Saturday football: To include or not? It's been my intent to post picks on Friday mid-day in order to get the latest line and account for injury reports/other game info while giving everyone a weekday to respond (some of us have actual lives to live on the weekend; others prefer to post Saturday and Sunday morning). This will have to change if Thursdays and Saturday games are are included. Not all of us will be able to see the Thursday game and the match-ups will be less than stellar. I'm leaning towards omitting Thursday and Saturday games but will be happy with what you folks want.

If you want to pick Thursday and Saturday games, what would be the ideal day to start the thread? Wednesday?

[JonLP24]

35. WTG Condem, Forkboy!

I don't have a problem with not including Pushes in the standings. I don't see it as having any effect as everyone is awarded pushes.

If you ask me Thursday's games that is tricky, I can get them in Wednesday but I don't know about others. Thursday's is good for Saturday picks if there is no Thursday game.

Do you want to rank the total standings? I can have them done for the next time you post a picks thread same style. I'm wondering how to do a cut off for percentages. I'm thinking if you play half the weeks you qualify for a percentage and you can be ranked on that. For odd number weeks like Week 7 I'll go with the smaller number so for 7 weeks of play -- to qualify for a percentage you just need 3 weeks of picks. 8 total weeks, 4 weeks played. 9 total weeks, 4 weeks played, and so forth.

[Auggie]

37. It would be cool to have updated standings

if you have the time. Could be weekly, could be every few weeks, once a month. Up to you.

Mucho thanks for offering. Your suggestion sounds fine.

[joeybee12]

38. I'm #1! I'm #1!

Actually I think I'm #7!

[Forkboy]

39. A push goes to the house and is considered a loss.

But I have no problems not counting it as one. :D

[madinmaryland]

36. Heh! The giants and the Deadskins lost.

:D

6-6 is fine!
