You can change your picks up until the point they are due.

I can't remember when the picks are due. There is a 9:30am eastern time game tomorrow from London. I hope the picks are due before kickoff....

Good point. The picks SHOULD be due "before kickoff." But Mission says they are due "at 10:00 am Eastern Time."

Normally, that time IS before kickoff, of course. But as you pointed out, tomorrow is an exception.

There will be two other upcoming exceptions. Week 4 and Week 8, when there is also a 9:30 AM ET start time for the London game.

Week 4: Oct. 1: Saints vs. Dolphins, 9:30 a.m. ET, Wembley Stadium, London, CBS
Week 8: Oct. 29: Vikings vs. Browns, 9:30 a.m. ET, Twickenham Stadium, London, NFL Network

I recall that picks including early games have to be in before the early game. Otherwise, the normal deadline applies. But I could be wrong.

Check it out, I'm doing a good job as Commissioner for a change! Let me direct your attention to Rule #2:

2.) The procedure for this will be that at some point on Thursdays, I will post the point spreads and Over/Unders from one source per week. I will likely use VegasInsider and the Spreads & Over/Unders I post will be constant and may be picked at any time prior to 10:00 EST on Sunday. If there is a Sunday game earlier than that, then you must submit Picks before kickoff of that game.

Therefore, ANY Sunday games may be picked, but if there is one that starts prior to 10:00a.m. EST, your Picks must be in prior to the beginning of that game. As it turns out, there is no controversy to be had this week as all Picks were in before that time anyway.

Grumbling about making Philly my confidence pick almost mitigated by allllll the bucs love. Skol! (Scandinavia toast - and they were.).

I wonder if the team that is the furthest east does better when the game is in London due to a slightly better experience with jet lag?

The English must be day game people. Otherwise it would make much more sense for it to be a night game there, midafternoon here.

I think the NFL , along with whatever media outlet is showing the game here, prefer that the London game be played as the only game in its time slot

Good god, folks =/

This is the first time I've paid attention to foosball since, well, before "foosball" became a tired joke to say. Let's just say the last time I was "into it", I was watching guys like Marino, Kelly, and Bledsoe. It's been awhile. And I've just one question...

WTF HAPPENED?

I don't even know what I watched. I know it was the Bills / Broncs, but that's all I'm sure of. I saw a guy make a catch and take 4? 5? 1,700? steps before getting knocked down, and the ground made the ball jiggle, and that was ruled incomplete. He ain't drop it or lose it or nothing, and he DEFINITELY took at least 7,000 steps and made a "football move" (whatever the F that is), yet... incomplete? Then what's his nut (Vonsomething) hits the QB and gives them ol helping hand psyche, which they both laughed about, because they're BUDDIES, and THAT gets 15yds and a first?

In my day, BAMF's cut they fingers off cuz it was faster than fixing it. I don't know what it is that I just consumed on Sunday.

Thanks, Mr. Romes.

I am ahead of the Wiz and now am at peace with the World ! What are the chances of a cancelled season by trumph "man"date ?

Unfortunately, I suspect my appearance at the top of the results table will be very short lived.

Congrats, Johnny Q!

If the season is cancelled this week, I stand alone as Ms. Average. Could be worse. But I'd rather get back into contention from the near-felting last week. More satisfying.

If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

And reality sets in.

Looks like I will be 2-3 this week, possibly 1-4 IF Seattle comes roaring back in the 2nd half. Looking to surveying the damage tomorrow when all the results are posted.

I took my skip week during Week 4.

I was on a Sunday to Sunday Carribean cruise with spotty communications due to the hurricanes -which means I was not scarred for life by watching the bewildering NFL games during Week 3 and Week 4. One commentator has called this the most unpredictable NFL season in many years.

I mean - Houston Texans score 57 points? Jets win? What alternate universe did I return to?

So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

I'm a former resident of Las Vegas and the company I work for currently employs over 100 people who live there. In fact, I was there myself yesterday, but I left early in the morning, before the shooting.

Because of this, as you might suspect, I'm just not having a good day today. Determining and then posting the contest results just seems trivial right now. Still, I suspect others may be waiting for the results so here they are:

P.S. My heart goes out to Redskins backers for what happened in the final few seconds of that game. Hardly seems fair. (Likewise if you had the OVER.)

Ed. Glad you're ok. Glad you missed the chaos. Thanks for posting this.

I agree about the game. What an insane last 4 seconds.

If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

EC:

Agree with what you said, but also appreciate that you updated the results.

I am impressed with Sparky10k 6-0 this week, which puts him/her right in the running for the most average spot with an overall record of 11-12 so far.

And congrats to MidwestAP and Mission146. For a few more weeks, I suspect the top-spot will bounce around each week because the "denominator" is still relatively small.

I believe that Mr. Average from last year is currently easily defending his crown. 11-11 to date.....

I just really like doing it on Thursday or Friday, because after that there's odds I'll be busy with AP or something else and forget... like last week =/, was on AP road trip.

Is it DJW6486 or is it DLW6486? The first three weeks his (her?) name began with DL, but these last two weeks his (her?) name has begun with DJ.

Confirm no picks again for JML24. (If so, second skipped week.)

Lots of very stale lines this week. All of which our mentor the Wiz is taking advantage of. Worst is Dolphins +3 while they are -1 now due to MM being out as Titans QB.

No 1/2 point parlay card discussion this year? Is it not to alert the big bad casino books about AP plays?

I went 5-1 without picking either the Chiefs or the Dolphins -and I may have lost ground (or just stayed even) because it seems like everyone in the contest did extremely well this week.

So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.
