Interesting to see the different strategies people took. Wizard especially going for a moonshot.

Wizard and I had the same strategy. Except I’m a Seahawks fan.

Yesterday I put together a new spreadsheet, to help with the grading. It's done. All the user has to do is to enter the final score for each game, and all picks are automatically graded.
I can provide updated standings after the second game today, at the end of the day tomorrow, and of course after the Monday night Cowboys/Bucs game.
It also gives a pick consensus.
12 players like the Bills -10.5, risking a total of $925.
8 players like the Bengals -6.5, risking a total of $650.
A total of $450 is risked on the Giants to win.
A total of $400 is risked on the Cowboys to win.
No one likes the Dolphins at +10.5

ESPN has a ‘Football Power Index’ which somehow gives a team’s percentage chance to win. Dolphins are listed at 4% chance to win. So fair odds are around 24-1. Yet you are only giving 5-1 on Dolphins!!! No way anyone will take Dolphins money line!!!!!
Except the Wiz…..

Remember that Mission set the odds before it was announced that Tua was out and Skylark Lemon - or whoever the third string Miami QB is -was announced as starter.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

I messaged Mission at 10:05 and bowed out. Work and life this week got the best of me and I respected the deadline.
Good luck to all.
Good luck to all.

Let me just bask in briefly being 1 on the leaderboard before it all falls apart.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.
