Did anyone (even in Washington) pick Seattle? That's got to be the upset of the year (until KC knocks off the Packers).

But, really, that's what I get for picking the Cowboys <sigh> And how come the Giants didn't massacre the Dolphins? I don't even want to hear about the Saints.

don't worry, I have missed a week and a half that way, and in fact last nights game after being warned there was a game earlier in the day. This kind of thing is why I am awful at fantasy sports participation.

I'm chagrined rather than worried. I knew there was a game yesterday, I just kept forgetting it through the day. I didn't even watch it. "The Big Bang Theory" was on around the 3rd quarter when I got home, and then "House" was on (by my calculations, Gregory has to burn someone alive, eat their intestines, and shoot himself in order to keep up with the "isn't House outrageous" meter, BTW).

New here. Just registered and entered the pool.

A couple of questions. Do we have to pick the entire board? Or can we just select certain games?

You'll want to pick the other 10 games since there is no penalty for missing. Of course by entering late, you are realistically playing for the glory, so feel free to do it however you like. It would still be something to pick six games a week ATS and get 100% correct.

Also, just for the record, I would expect the select group of 6 picks to go either 4 wins and 2 losses, or 5 wins and 1 loss. There's always that game that loses in the final seconds that causes a slight variance on the numbers. I expect to go around 75%-80% winners on the picks for the year. 85% is what it has done so far this year, starting with week 6. I just starting tracking this particular group of stats since that week.

I would like to ditto Nareed's comment. Don't forget there is a game tonight so get your picks in.

I went 12-1 last week in the Suncoast pick the pro's contest. It's the best i've done so far this year but still not good enough to win any cash. Winners were all 13-0 and there were over 100 of them. Their contest is not with the spread just straight up winners so its quite a bit easier.

Well. A lousy 3 wins and 3 losses last week on my select plays. Frankly embarrassing, but not the end of the world.

The numbers have been better so I hope this coming week shows it 'cuz i hate to look like an ass. I would fully expect to make up some ground and go 5 and 1.
Anyway, for the record, my select picks are:
Cincinnati -3.5
Miami -3.5
Tampa Bay -.5
Carolina +2.5
Denver -3.5
Seattle -6.5

Carolina is not getting enough points vs Michael Turner and playing their 3rd string linebackers IMHO and I live here and have been doing well taking the Panthers and the points. 4 I'd take.

Hey Cat. Thanks, I'll keep an eye on it. I'm currently not going to the window with this stuff since the data that I use is newly developed. Still testing but it is yielding promising results so far so I've got to stick with the pick.

Also, I'm not so sure that Michael Turner is playing very well the last four games. He's picked up just 1 TD and averaged less than 4 per carry. Nonethless, I certainly wish you luck.

Thanks again.

Latest results. I scratched and clawed my way back into the top ten. This has been an extremely difficult year. Lots of upsets and lots of close calls. I feel happy to even be above 50%.

You are absolutely correct and you have every right to complain. My deepest apologies. I saw that too and clicked right past it the first time. Sorry again.

Not sure what EnvyBonus' total was, but mine was 32 and actual score was 23. I am sure it will work itself out over the next two weeks though so I am not that worried.
