Quote: AyecarumbaTitans let down this week the real deal, or just a dip in the road?
I think it's a dip, but I didn't get to see the game.
God knows the Dallas/Phil "game of the week" was a waste of air time.

To change the subject just a bit, dem Falcons won, after having the game under control and then losing control. I swear, it's hard to have grown up in ATL ;-)
Quote: EdCollinsMission, since you accidentally posted a line for this past Thursday's game, may I assume we are going to let Aluisio's bet on the Broncos stand (a win), as well as WizardofNothing's bet on the Chiefs stand (a loss) ??
Strangely, both Picks were submitted after the game had been played. Clearly, WizardofNothing had no idea the game had been played already, so I'm going to call that a No-Decision.
Secondly, I'd already basically asserted in this thread that the Broncos game was not up for Picking about five Posts prior to this in response to AyeCarumba. Aluisio's Picks came in after that post, so I'm calling that a No-Decision unless he says he had no idea the game happened, I'll send him a PM and ask.

I think a no-decision is the correct call for both the picks, it's clearly stated in the rules that Thursday games are not in play. And in addition, you posted in this thread that the Broncos vs Cheifs was not available.
Quote: beachbumbabsIf we're voting, I also think a no-decision in both cases is the only fair resolution. But Mission is Commish, so I defer to him.
As it turns out, Aluisio (the only adversely affected party) is amenable to a, "No-Decision," anyway. Thus, both picks on the Broncos game will be No-Decisions.
When doing EdCollins' sheet, it'll probably be easiest if I go to the post with the Picks and delete those two Picks. If anyone cares to post the Standings, please do!

(The calculator is expecting exactly five picks from everyone (no more and no less), so it won't work to simply delete his pick from his entries. If I remember correctly however, it will work fine if you simply change a no decision pick to "no pick.")
UNOFFICIAL results below. Mission will confirm.

Quote: AyecarumbaEd's pace is blistering. It will be tough to catch him if he can keep it up. I am once again mixed about the value of the "confidence" pick. It doesn't help when you can't do better than 5-5 (100%), but can do 20% worse than than 0-5.
This is a lot like our family gaming curse/running joke...early leader gets "so-and-so is the Greatest Poker Player in the World" thrown at them and has to try and duck it before it hits. So duck, Ed! Oooh, too late! You'll be lucky to go 1-5 next week. :)

It's updated with all of the picks and scores and spreads thru Week 4.
Note that it doesn't recognize "O44" or "U47" (for example) as "Over 44" or "Under 47." It needs the full word... "over" and "under." If someone submits an over/under pick in that format, you have to edit it by hand and spell out the entire word.
I had the final score wrong, for the last Monday's Packers/Chiefs game. With that incorrect score you were incorrectly graded a win for that game, rather than a loss. And WizardofNothing, the only other person to bet on that game's point total, was graded a loss instead of a win.

Will you be posting the week 6 picks soon?
Quote: EdCollinsIt's possible he's waiting for one or more players to send him their picks, who forgot to do so last night.
No, just didn't have a computer with a proper mouse last night. Figured it would suffice just to get them posted before kickoff.

I noticed MidwestAP, the leader, also picked them, but as a Confidence Pick. So it would tighten things up a tiny bit if the Giants didn't cover.
Note that Soopoo and AyeCarumba also both picked the Giants, and both of them are sitting at 4-0 so far, for the weekend.

From the looks of things, I think I'll take the Seahawks -6.5 :)

Thanks! I don't know why they don't take down the Thursday game when it starts, but then, I'd probably forget to do it too...
No, there is currently no VI Consensus on the Steelers O/U, probably because of starting QB uncertainty. I'll check again tomorrow and will update appropriately if it changes.

This is his second week of no picks. (He also missed Week 3.) Per the rules, he now has the option of either forfeiting the contest, or accepting an 0-5 record for this week and continuing. (Missing a third week results in an automatic forfeit.)
With a win-loss record up to now of 11-17, he was already in last place. Accepting the 0-5 forfeit and the option to continue, he will now fall further behind (11-22), increasing his chances of winning the "$25 You Suck" consolation prize.
Of course, now that this strategy is known, (accepting an 0-5 forfeit on purpose) his nearest competitors to this You Suck Consolation Prize would be able to do the same thing at some point in the season as well.
Note that this strategy / loophole isn't limited to just the "You Suck" consolation prize. Recall this year there is also a "Most Average" consolation prize. A player who is exactly five games above .500 going into the final week, who has previously skipped an earlier week, could intentionally not submit any games during that final week, take the "0-5 forfeit loss" which would now guarantee him/her a perfect .500 record!
I'm not sure if intentionally taking a forfeit loss in this manner is in the best interests of the game. Next year, if we continue the same contest yet again (it now seems to be a forum tradition) we may wish to address this point.
For the Most Average prize, that's true, but only for players who have already had a Skip week. An obvious exception is players who are at or very near .500 and have not Skipped a week.
At the same time, if that is Knuckleball3's play, I think it was way too early for that.

Yea, I'm leading... but by the slimmest of margins. If the Ravens hadn't covered tonight, I would still be in 2nd Place.
Not doing well
This is what happens when you no longer follow football closely and throw darts at a board making picks
(Not much of a fan anymore due to CTE brain damage)
