I don't think the odds are that good, I'll have to be extremely lucky alone to just pass you and Prozema. DJ does have week 17 to look forward to, a week you never know what will happen.



Right now this game feels like a poker tournament.

Me hoping someone busts out before I run out of blinds sitting on the bubble...

ONM, you are one of the most interesting personalities on this forum. Your posts are frequently "orthogonal" to the tone and direction of the thread but that's kind of a good thing in small doses. I'm not sure what you are like in real life - you might be a radiation-deformed mutant living in your mother's basement or maybe just a strait-laced normal guy who goes bonkers on social media - but, in any case, even in a forum with some pretty exotic fauna (our leader juggles on a unicycle!) you pop out.

At times I don't understand some of your references, but thanks for making me laugh. And . . . um . . making me feel like a titty twister.

Same, tough week. Random coin flips would be a great tool this time. I can tell DJ is going to run out of luck though(2/5). I like the Browns, the Bengals, and the Bears, the key is the orange.

Ed,

Does your program account for an inaccurate line? Seems like you said this before, but I can't remember the details. If someone picks a team, regardless of the line they list, the program assigns win/loss/tie based on your overriding lines, correct? Or does it read the values each person uses?

In two weeks, Gregg Williams has won 1/3rd as many games as Cleveland Browns HC as it took Hue Jackson 2.5 seasons to win.

Hi Babs. Correct. It accounts for an inaccurate line.

The grading program uses the line that was posted for each game. If a player picks a team and lists a different (inaccurate) line, that different line is ignored.

For that reason, a player doesn't have to list the lines at all, both for the spread and the totals,and my grading program will handle that pick just fine. For example, this week someone could just list "Cowboys" and the grading program knows that is Cowboys +7.

I believe Mission requests the line be listed with the pick, which is of course why we all do it.

If I see an inaccurate line while reviewing everything, I change it.

Damn I made too many weeks of drunk picks to make up for them.

33-24, if I go 4/5 the last 6 weeks, 57-30, 65.5%. :(

The two dastardly duo leaders may fall to my level though. ;)

Is anyone not playing anymore, I see there were 4 skip weeks and Mission disappeared with some revisionist history, are the other players still competing or are they blaming it on defaults here on?

The last 2 weeks have been VERY busy for me. I haven’t officially stated it yet, but Bruce and I finally quit our jobs a couple months ago to full time AP. This past week+ was a trip that got extended due to an amazing find that call for missing flights and ultimately getting chased out of casinos :p. Stories will be told eventually on GWAE, but needless to say we also had delays and missed flights and layovers in new cities to check and an EXHAUSTION that required lots of sleep.

So I apologize to all for my lack of participation recently, but that’s why I set up a default “just in case” things happened.

I’m not sure what changed, but my defaults should have went 3-2 this week. Are we no longer allowed to do defaults or was there a limit put on them? I’d find that NOT the same rules I signed up for...

Sure hope the full time AP works out.

This is my fault, Romes should have the following Picks this week:

Romes:
Jets -7
Buccaneers -3
Packers -9.5
Colts -3
Bears -6.5 Confidence

I know I did it, but my edit must not have taken, for some reason. After that, I copied over from the official thread to this thread.


I’ll update both lists accordingly.

This upcoming week (Week 11) has some really intriguing games and close match ups, the best week of the year so far in my opinion.

Only two games opened at over a TD, (Saints -7.5 vs Eagles and Chargers -7.5 vs Broncos). All other spreads are tighter.

The most intriguing game is Monday night. Rams opened at 1 pt home favorites over the Chiefs, at this time it looks like it's climbed to 2.5. But it's the over/under that really drew my attention, 63.5!! I can't recall an NFL game having such a high total.

Rams are only technically at home. Game is being played in Mexico. For those thinking about betting, google the current field condition (it’s bad from too much soccer on field recently) and altitude (comparable to Denver).

There are reports today that the field is in such bad shape that the game may be cancelled or moved to LA.

The idea of Mahomes, Gurley, Goff etc stepping into a divot or slipping on mud and tearing an ACL doesn’t appeal to the NFL.

might see this line go off the board until a decision is made. If the game is moved to LA it might move in favor of the Rams by a few points.
