Just making this easier for myself to find next time:

You can get the current lines in the same format that Mission148 uses by going to here. Copy all the text (ctr-a, ctr-c in windows). Then go to here, and paste (ctr-p) all the text in the box and click submit. If you did this right now, you would get:

I haven't done mush error checking, so you might want to double check.

A couple of games don't have lines yet because there is no over /under, so my program leaves them blank.

Good work. I went 4-1 this week and would have gone 5-0 if not for that pick six on what was essentially the final play of the game in the Broncos - Jets game.

Mission hasn't even yet opened the message with this weeks picks. Hope he's okay.

Everything's fine, I'm sorry, I had a minor emergency at the hotel Saturday night and wasn't anywhere near a computer yesterday. I'm going to post the Picks later tonight, and as always, will be happy to send a screenshot of the PM of any Picks if they are disputed.

This week will also be my BYE week.

Mission, you have Terapined listed twice, with slightly different picks.

The first listing has him with the Bears, Dolphins, Panthers, Bucs, and BENGALS. Note that the Bengals played the Panthers so this entry would result in a double forfeit for those two pics, if this entry is correct.

The second listing, which for the moment I'm going to assume is the correct one, has him with the Bears, Dolphins, Panthers, Bucs, and RAIDERS.

Here's what I have for the current standings:


Name Wins Losses % Owes
Wizard 23 6 79.31%-
Steeldco 17 7 70.83%$8.48
SodaWater 20 10 66.67%$12.64
VCUSkyhawk 16 8 66.67%$12.64
Wudged 22 13 62.86%$16.45
Terapined 18 11 62.07%$17.24
JohnZimbo 18 12 60.00%$19.31
YouCanBetOnThat 18 12 60.00%$19.31
MWalz9 18 13 58.06%$21.25
StrictlyAP 20 15 57.14%$22.17
KMUMF 17 13 56.67%$22.64
RDW4Potus 17 13 56.67%$22.64
Aluisio 19 15 55.88%$23.43
Mission146 14 12 53.85%$25.00
Buzzard 10 9 52.63%$26.68
10DollarBri 16 16 50.00%$29.31
EdCollins 16 16 50.00%$29.31
Miplet 15 15 50.00%$29.31
AyeCarumba 16 17 48.48%$30.83
Genwyzgy 13 14 48.15%$31.16
Beardgoat 17 19 47.22%$32.09
TGarrettCPA 17 19 47.22%$32.09
JW17 14 16 46.67%$32.64
Malaru 15 18 45.45%$33.86
Paradigm 12 15 44.44%$34.87
JML24 13 20 39.39%$39.92
Vendman1 11 17 39.29%$40.02
Ten2Win 11 19 36.67%$42.64
BeachBumBabs 12 22 35.29%$44.02
GWAE 9 19 32.14%$47.17
Totals 474 431 52.38%$799.12

The top three players this week:

RDW4POTUS 5-0
Steeldco 5-1
Paradigm 5-1
(And the Wizard wasn't far behind, with a 4-1 record this week.)

Regular Picks were 62-51
Confidence Picks were 9-3

I don't think you are in any position to offer that. If he would like mine then, welllll he might be on to something.

I ended the MLB season at 33.65 percent correct ATS, and in this contest I am at 32 or something. I am either really really good at handicapping but I am reading my info wrong or I am just really unlucky.

Wow, LOTS of love for the Saints. (14 picks, counting Confidence Picks as 2.) In fact, no one picked Detroit at all.

Almost as much love (12 and 11) for the Browns and the Chargers.

A total of 5 Overs for the Sunday night 49ers / Broncos matchup.

Got them in under the wire, not intentional. Just having a very very BAD year. F*** golden years !
Shed not for her the bitter tear Nor give the heart to vain regret Tis but the casket that lies here, The gem that filled it Sparkles yet

Wow, with what looks like VCU kind of dropping the ball, I'm in reality in 2nd place right behind the sizzling Wizard.
I really have a chance to take this down if the Wiz's picks go cold :-)
Whats hillarious is I am barely trying.
Every Sat nite, I spend about 5 min on my picks just picking as a fan on who I want to win or cover.

I'm going to allow Buzzard's picks:

Cincinnati +3
Tennessee +5.5
Miami +3
Jacksonville +5.5
Saint Louis +7

They were only an hour late, and I doubt if he used any kind of consensus picking to make his own.
