1.) No Line Breaks
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

Quote: Mission146I'll give you the option of her withdrawing and her Entry Fee being returned if you let me know before 13:00 EST tomorrow. We're not going to hit fifty, anyway, so you're essentially paying for random picks.
Naw, we are good. I just hope she doesn't end up with a better record than me.

Wiz starts 5-0. Not looking good for my Wiz under 60% bet...... I was 4-0. I think I have the most undefeated weeks in this game's history, but enough dismal weeks to always finish around 50%.

10 contestants picked Jets +9 and pushed.
Wizard and EdCollins both picked 5 dogs.
Did JW17 mis-state the line on his Broncos bet? He has "Broncos -3.5 Confidence" while other competitors have Broncos -3.

yes, I sent before the Broncos game was shown as a choice.

Note that my scoring macro ignores any and all spreads entered by the player. For all games, it looks at the spread I entered. Meaning, even if this discrepancy had gone unnoticed by all, the macro would have scored the game using -3.Quote: gordonm888Did JW17 mis-state the line on his Broncos bet? He has "Broncos -3.5 Confidence" while other competitors have Broncos -3.
I'll have the results posted soon, a few minutes after tonight's game.

Thanks for the update Ed. My plan to disappear to the bottom of the list before STRIKING to the top is taking shape! At least, that's what I'll keep telling myself...

If you count me and the two regulars from the forum who I have golfed with we are 13-0. Just a coincidence?

I always like +9 when I have reservations as to whether or not the team laying (Bills) will even SCORE nine points. That would have been an ATS win had the Jets not been incomparably incompetent with great field position x3 in the fourth quarter.

There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

Kindof cool, 14 over 50 % and 7 under 50 %. By week 5 or so, I expect that to be much more balanced on the over/under 50.0 %

1/2 point off 4-0. Otoh, Vikes don't mist that PAT, I'm 3-3. So not a bad start. Congrats to the 3 perfect starts.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Finally updated my program. Should only show Sunday and Monday games now. http://miplet.net/nfl/wovlines.txt should show the current weeks lines in case WoV is not available and you need to make your picks.

I'm remorseful I didn't play again. I can say, hey what about starting another contest for just the last half of the season? I think anyone who has over 5,000 posts should get two entries for the price of one, the rest only get one pick. 5,000 at the time of the second half of course. Hollywood style.

Pretty sure you can still play. Mission said something about it up thread. Cmon, dude!

Too big a disadvantage now, this cincy game I was confident in the under, kind of a bad way to enter having one game and one week wasted, when the one game you could have at least won. Odds 90% against me coming in right now.Quote: beachbumbabsPretty sure you can still play. Mission said something about it up thread. Cmon, dude!

You can still play
Having a bye week is a very tiny advantage.
I think most use it so they have an option the last week to either pass or play due to contest strategy
I used mine last year due to forgetting to pick.
Its win percentage so you really would have as good a chance as anybody else.
When somebody doesn't believe me, I could care less. Some get totally bent out of shape when not believed. Weird. I believe very little on all forums

Gotta jump in !Quote: onenickelmiracleI'm remorseful I didn't play again.
a) It's still an advantage play, yes ?
b) Also gotta look at the fun quotient.
c) And don't forget about the peer pressure, all the cool kids are doin' it.
d) Also gotta love the potential to say "I joined a week late and still kicked these pansy-&$$#^ right in the you know where".

Yea, that makes a bit more sense than all three of them taking their Skip Week so soon. If so, that's unfortunate.Quote: Mission146Maybe persistent login trouble and didn't put my E-Mail addy anywhere?
Of course, it's also possible one or more of them just "forgot," with the season being so new and the act of making and submitting picks not being a "ritual" yet.

28 of the 30 teams were picked at least once. If I counted correctly, the most popular pick was the Lions who were picked 8 times -and twice as someone's confidence bet. I stayed away from that game because of the uncertainty on Odell Beckham.
I thought this was a "dry" board - I had a hard time finding 5 picks that I had much conviction on. Good luck to everyone.

in my contests, I forgot Miami didn't play week 1, prepared and rested. Kept looking at my picks, thinking something was wrong. Never came into this one, because it's not AP for me, this is my first year watching NFL religiously for a while. Next year.Quote: beachbumbabsWell, there went my season. 1-5. Ugh.

b) on the other hand, there is a prize for last place, right ?

Annnnnnnnnnnd slowly we creep up from last place =). I feel like everyone had the "in" on the Lions +3.5, as a lot of who I consider the sharps had that pick, and as confidence picks.
Playing it correctly means you've already won.

The line was +3 when I sent my picks in. I figured that extra half point made my confidence decision an easy one.

For me, about 10 minutes BEFORE I submit my picks !
- but it is fun.
- but it is fun.
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

This week the Bills are only three point underdogs. They looked so unbelievably pathetic last week, and the Broncos looks so good, I just don't understand it. The Broncos will be my confidence pick of the week. I guess that means the sharps will be betting heavily on the Bills......

Broncos opened as only a 1 point favorite - the line later shifted to 3. I saw the original line posted as Broncos -1 and came very close to placing an on-line bet - I knew it wouldn't stay there. Here is the line movement over time -the third column is Denver and the last column is Buffalo, the times are PST.

And yes, one sharp has recommended Bills +3 as his pick of the week.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

I can't comment on connectivity, but my skip was indeed my personal decision. No worries on your end, and my apologies for not notifying you of such.

Did I miss this weeks lines, or are they only posted in the other thread?
