I see you did what I did last week (whatever was alphabetically last method). Also what Wizard did for both weeks.
I think this week required a different strategy. We’ll just have to wait and see.

I'm pretty sure I can say I've never ever picked a team and been down by 33.5 points (with the spread)... only to see the team I picked come back and cover that 33.5 point deficit with 11.5 points to spare.

Gotta love those over bets you can cash at halftime!**

I have never actually had the opportunity to do this, but will books pay out as soon as the over is hit? Or do you still have to wait til the game goes final to cash your ticket?

I suspect they did... that's why he posted them. He just didn't realize they were revised picks.

The original (non-revised) Picks have been deleted. He pretty clearly labeled the PM, "Revised Picks."

The problem is, the way I put thew Picks up, I just look for unopened PM's and then open them all in different tabs...so I'm not always paying a lot of attention, at that point.

Matter of fact, give me two minutes because I have to add a set of picks that I believe I accidentally opened before posting the lines.

Everyone with a better score than me also picked the Under in both games, as I did. I now wish I would have picked the Over in both games, in an effort to gain some ground.

I notice that miplet and Wizard often make the exact same picks. Fueling the theory that they are really the same person.

Although, looking at their picks this week . . . . ouch!

Edit: Only Romes is in contention to have a perfect week! The O/U on the 49ers win is still in doubt.

I think if GB closes to within 7 (one more TD) I have a perfect week. Unlikely but not zero.....

...

Making Picks:

1.) The Lines for each week will be posted Wednesday/Thursday before the weekend of the games being played. For each game, there shall be a Point Spread and an Over/Under, every player MUST make picks for the Point Spreads and Over/Unders of every game, there are no Confidence Picks.

2.) The winner will be determined by whoever scores the most points, how points are scored is as follows:

Wild Card + Divisional Playoffs: 1 Point for Every Correct Pick (8 Points Per Week)

Conference Championships: 2 Points for Every Correct Pick (8 Possible Points)

Super Bowl: 4 Points for Every Correct Pick (8 Points Possible)

Furthermore, for the Super Bowl, there will be ten questions based on Props that will be worth one point each. Thus, a perfect score will be 42 Points...



When are the Super Bowl props expected to be available?

When are the Super Bowl props expected to be available?

For the few who are new to the game, here's the ten prop questions (and answers) we used for this contest two years ago. Ayecarumba got nine of the ten correct. The only one he missed was #4.



1.) Will an equal or lesser number of points be scored in the third quarter as in the first quarter?

---No. 21 Points were scored in the third quarter and 12 in the first quarter.


2.) Will an equal or lesser number of points be scored in the second quarter as in the fourth quarter?

---No. 22 Points were scored in the second quarter compared to 19 in the fourth quarter.


3.) Will the team that calls the toss be correct?

---Yes. The Patriots called it and won.


4.) Will the Patriots score first by way of Touchdown (either defense, offense or ST) or Field Goal? (Eagles scoring first OR Patriots scoring on a Safety would be a, 'No,' for this question)

---No, the Eagles scored first by FG.


5.) Will Tom Brady throw for at least 50 more yards than Nick Foles?

---Yes, Brady threw for 505 and Foles 373.

Ah, shoot.

The order of the standings remain exactly the same but my total percentages were all wrong.

Reason: This is the first year we are having the Mr. Average and You Suck Prizes for this playoff contest. In past years the prize for this playoff contest has always been for 1st Place only, so there was no need to keep track of percentages. In my Excel spreadsheet I was simply listing everyone's total score.

But the with these additional prizes this year, I changed the total points column to list the percentage, so we could see at a glance how close each participant was to Mr. Average.

Alas, I screwed up. I neglected to consider yesterday's picks were worth TWO points each, not one. Yes, two points each was correctly reflected in the Week 3 points column... but I wasn't taking that into consideration in the Percentage column.

Again, it affected everyone so the standings are exactly the same. I revised the graphic.
