Yeah, I had that as a lock as well! I'm guessing your cat knows how to duck by now?
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Wow.
Lots of interest and it's almost all one sided. AyeCarumba is the only one on the Pack -9? Really?
Despite his modest wager, he will gain a lot with a victory.

It looks like my ideal result would be a Minnesota victory straight up, in a low scoring game.

Yeah, I thought it's going to be GB with MN doing better than the line, but hedging with a small ML bet.
Of course, with the game-time decision to play Ponder, bleah...I think I'm in trouble all the way around.
Probably I'm just screwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwed betting Minnesota this year, no matter how long I wait before I bet.s Sigh. :X

they need to stop these Thursday night games. I can not recall a single good game, even when they look like good match ups.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

None has been closer than 20 points and looking ahead there are some real honkers, but as GWAE mentions the seemingly close matchups become blowouts. I have hated Thursday night football since its inception.

I took it on the chin, but I happen to love Thursday night games. Hell, I wonder if they can schedule 2 games a day, every day of the week.......(gasp!)

I, and I'm sure many others here, remember the good old days when we had no Thursday Night football, or Sunday Night games for that matter. We also didn't have TWO Monday Night games each year during Week 1. (What's up with that, anyway?)
Each Thanksgiving we had the morning game and the afternoon game. That was it. Now of course, we have that third game Thanksgiving evening.
Back then you watched football Sunday morning (or early Sunday afternoon, on the East Coast), Sunday afternoon, and Monday Night. That was it. (Prior to 1970, you didn't even watch it Monday Night!)
Speaking of Monday Night, I remember a time, long before cable and ESPN, when the only time you saw highlights of the weekend games was during halftime on Monday Nights, when Howard Cosell would give his recap of the scores from the day before.
Pregame shows on CBS and NBC were just 30 minutes in length, and didn't contain half of the junk and fluff you see now. (I still miss Phyllis George, by the way.)
As a football fan, the more televised games, the better, I suppose. No one is FORCING you to watch them.
Note: Beginning with Week #9, CBS will no longer be televising the Thursday Night games. You'll have to catch them solely on the NFL Network.

That's been by design all year, ever since the televised schedule came out. It hasn't changed recently.
LAST year, as I recall, I don't think there were even this many games on CBS Thursday Night. My memory might be faulty but I remember missing most of them, because I don't have the NFL Network. When I saw the TV schedule and saw that CBS was at least televising them through Week 8, I was happy.

My understanding is the expansion of Thursday football by 8 games this year to total 16 went to CBS as part of the new contract.Quote: EdCollinsThat's been by design all year, ever since the televised schedule came out. It hasn't changed recently.

After the large amount of action on Thursday night, it isn't surprising that we have the largest amount of total selections this week (77), the largest handle ($53,586.67), and the highest percentage of bankroll at risk (43.76%).
Good luck everybody.

Yea, but with this contest, it's not mandatory each week, so you're okay. In fact, maybe you will be happy later, that you didn't get them in.

I wonder what total will be required to win this contest? My gut tells me somewhere north of $35k, but I have no idea. It has been hard enough to stay above $10k.

We could make that a sidebet. Each person could take a range. I think it's going to take between 29K and 30K; it's been too bumpy so far.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Wow.
In a game that otherwise would have meant nothing for me, I found myself glued to my seat.
The Pats have no run defense. The Jets appeared to be gaining yardage at 7 or 8 or 9 yards a pop.
I'll never understand why so many teams play not to lose, instead of to win. If I were New England I would have made an attempt on second and third down to pick up the 1st. If you do, game over. Instead, you voluntarily give the ball right back to New York, who only need a field goal, albeit with little time remaining. And look what almost happened.

Also, another nice update, Ed, to your NFL Office Pool calculator! Much appreciated.

Thanks again. Yea, I made added several enhancements and features to the program this year, including adding that new options tab so the user can set their own colors and things. Several of the enhancements this year were direct requests from users. For example, it now also supports pools that use the spread in their picks and also keeps a weekly running total.Quote: chickenmanA nail biter for sure.
Also, another nice update, Ed, to your NFL Office Pool calculator! Much appreciated.
I also redesigned the website a little bit, from last year.
Every few days I continue to get e-mails regarding it, either just to thank me for making it available, and to tell me how much it helps them manage their pool, or to ask me a question or two regarding it. A small number of people have even sent me a few donations via PayPal, which is always nice.
One user is using it to manage his online pool, that attracts upwards of 80 or 90 players. He paid me several hundred dollars to write him a script that will import all of the player picks into the spreadsheet, so that he doesn't have to enter them by hand. He couldn't be happier. A task that used to take him a couple of hours each week is now done in seconds.

It sure rocked before and keeps getting better! Haven't dropped by your site in a while, will try to do so and check the updates.
We have 25 - 30 in the pool typically. If I may ask, your script looks to a local file of spreadsheets submitted by the users I assume?
Thanx again, it is really impressive with great features.
