I also find the pettiness of whoever votes this and the Official Thread down hilarious. I threw a 1* rating on both to help you out a little.

If anyone who has not yet rated the threads could give both 1*, that would be excellent; thank you.

Yes, I should have given a 0* as well (I was thinking about voting 0*, but Mission wanted a 1*).

Also, trolls***, can be a cunning bunch, I wouldn't be surprised if they start voting for the 5 * rating (because a few of them like to be contrarians, just for the sake of it).

***: Assuming it was a troll that voted on it originally, but I couldn't see a more "normal" person voting that low on a thread like this (except from now on, because the OP "person running/putting up most? of the money for this comp" is literally asking for it)

A lot of love for the Jags... and none for the Chiefs.
A little bit of love for the Seahawks over the Bucs and the Texans over the Giants.

Enjoy the games.

There's still one game to go this week (tonight's Monday night game) but no matter the outcome, no one will finish 6-0 this weekend.

Thus, next weekend, the Week 11 Perfection Bonus Prize, if anyone is fortunate enough to hit it, will be $60.00. ($10.00 + $50.00 carried over.)

Group now just 48 games under .500. A bunch of real sharps here….. imagine how we’d be doing if we didn’t have the ability to bet on the stale lines!

That being said….. I’ve let the perfection bonus build high enough…. It’s mine the upcoming week….

Chiefs will be my confidence pick.
Dolphins will be another.

Yep, only 2 of 19 had a winning picks record this week, i.e., two contestants went 4-2 on picks, and everyone else was 3-3, 2-4, 1-5 or 0-6.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Note that the NFL has announced that the Browns vs Bills game has been relocated to Detroit. I assume the Bills are still the home team of record.

Note that the NFL has announced that the Browns vs Bills game has been relocated to Detroit. I assume the Bills are still the home team of record.

Probably only matters for picking team colors and providing game balls. Last few times they did this the game was free admission IIRC.

Friend from Buffalo now lives in Detroit. He bought tickets for this Sunday for $30. He said he thinks price ranged from $10- $50. He’s also going to Bills game 4 days later against the Lions. He invited me and wifey, but we already have TDay plans. Around 4 hour drive….

Home field advantage isn't rated to be very valuable anymore at most sites, but I was noting that neither team will have home field advantage in this one.

For what it’s worth, the line opened at Bills -9.5 and fell to -8 over week. Likely sue to weather concerns. The move to Detroit reopened the line at -7.5. I view that as a 2-2.5 adjustment for home field when you regress out the weather.

Reportedly this was posted by a Bills fan in Buffalo. (Actually no, it seems to have been floating around the internet for awhile, but even so. . . )

Some reports that the entire Bills team may not have made it to the Buffalo airport, also that a flu bug may be running through the Bills. So I went gonzo and picked the Browns +7.5 as my Confidence pick. Hey! I know! but 7.5 is a lot of points. Edit: But not enough!

Impressively bad. Not a single person picked 4 out of 5.

It seems like a bunch of teams are going to be raising the white flag. Cardinals. Rams. Browns. Steelers. Bears. Be careful in betting on them.

It just shows how important a QB is. Even though Big Ben played poorly the last few years he still made the team credible.

If not for Ben the last 2 years would have been losing seasons. His arm was no longer what it was but you could see his mind still read things. That's gone now, and the Steelers may repeat the 19890s when they went exactly .500 for the decade.

If the Steelers did go 0.500 at everything they did they would be highly ranked if they entered this NFL picks contest.

It is a very strange feel when you disown a team but then live among its fans. I’ve been doing that a few years now. So I see them for what they are. Average at best. Which means a good team to watch for bets.
