I've sunk to 3rd from the bottom - so that list looks about right to me.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

It would have been nice to get a few weeks around 50/50 before plummeting to the bottom :-)

Bumping this to the top!

Anyone who wasn't in last week is still invited in. The first week can count as your skip week.

Odds for this weekend's games will be put on this thread tomorrow.

Come one, come all!

Send questions my way, either in the thread or through PM.

The last 2 years, I've been keeping track of how the group's picks have done depending on the number of players making the pick.

The data the last 2 years have shown some predictive value:

1. Fade picks made by greater than 50% of the players. 9 - 6 (60%) over the last 2 years.
2. Tail picks made by greater than 33% of the players up to and including 50% of the players. 36 - 28 - 3 (56.3%) over the last 2 years.
3. Fade picks made by greater than 25% of the players up to and including 33% of the players. 43 - 58 - 4 (57.4%) over the last 2 years.

That's a total of 103 - 77 - 6 (57.2%) over the last 2 years. About 5 picks a week on average.

For this year, the number of players would be as follows for the groups above:

1. 8 or more players on a pick: FADE
2. 4 - 5 players on a pick: TAIL
3. 6 - 7 players on a pick: FADE

For Week 1, this didn't fare well, but here are the numbers:

1. 0 - 1 (lost by 1/2 point)
2. 1 - 5 (1 loss by 1.2 point)
3. 0 - 1

Total: 1 - 7. Yuck.

It's early and the number of players this year is the lowest of the 3 years of my data.

I'll try to update when I have time, but you can use the numbers above at least as a starting point for picks outside this contest.

It's not a sin if you don't win, but it's a tragedy if you don't try. Be happy and have fun!

WEEK 2 PICKS

We have one new entrant, so we are closed out... 16 total entries. New entry used skip week for week 1.
Better job on the formatting... Those grading, if you see errors, let me know and I will try to fix what I can before I post. Following the formatting is very important everyone. Makes our jobs easier when compiling and scoring the picks.

Since there are no consolation prizes this year, skipping a second week results in an 0-5 week. You are not eliminated from contention.

Thanks,
Matt

For this year, the number of players would be as follows for the groups above:
Note: these numbers will change next week as we have 16 players now.
I kept these numbers for Weeks 1 and 2 because of skip weeks and I'm lazy.

1. 8 or more players on a pick: FADE
2. 4 - 5 players on a pick: FADE
3. 6 - 7 players on a pick: TAIL

For Week 2, here are the numbers:
1, 0 - 1
2. 4 - 1
3. 1 - 1

Week 2 Total: 5 - 3

For Week 1, here are the numbers:
1. 0 - 1 (lost by 1/2 point)
2. 1 - 5 (1 loss by 1/2 point)
3. 0 - 1

Week 1 Total: 1 - 7.

Season Totals:
1. 0 - 2
2. 5 - 6
3. 1 - 2

Season Total: 6 - 10

Ah that explains why I didn’t pick them up at first. Should have reviewed more closely.

Ok gens picks are at the bottom but they are identical. I noticed a lot took the bears. I considered taking the under,but never play the colts or bears. Someone said on radio colts have beat bears last 13 games

I pick my WoV bets according to how I ‘feel’. My real bets are often based on certain factors that let me maximize an offer. Like ‘need a longshot’. Or ‘need a heavy favorite’. And most tend to be parlays. I think I used Raiders in a few of those!

As I’ve said before, I would surmise my lifetime pointspread picks are probably below 50%.

For each of the three weeks so far my Confidence Pick has been the Titans ATS - and I have gone 0-6 on those three picks.

No mas.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Might I point out that SOOPOO goes 6-0 if not for the egregious no call for pass interference on the Chiefs. It was a tackle before the ball got there. Stunning level of incompetence, or worse? Anyway, 16-2 is around 7 more wins than I was expecting…..

Vegasbrent would have been 6 - 0 were it not for that call as well.

Of course, I'm much more use to losing so far this year, so it may hurt me a little less than SOOPOO.
It's not a sin if you don't win, but it's a tragedy if you don't try. Be happy and have fun!

I apologize to unjon, PYCR and the contestants that I have been unable to assist unjon with the automated rankings. I have been acting in a theatrical production (5 days/week for 3 weeks) and still have one more week to go -and I did not realize how exhausted I would be from the experience. And then immediately after the show closes I am vacating with wife and family at the beach (the first week in October) .

Maybe by October 7 I'll finally be able to help unjon and PYCR. I have very much appreciated unjon stepping up and doing the work he has already done - as I'm sure everyone else does.

PYCR had it correct in his first summary of picks:

miplet (3-3):
x-Bears 1.5
Broncos 6.5
Rams 7
x-Falcons 3.5-confidence
Commanders 7.5

The chart PYCR made is where the error is.

The last 2 years, I've been keeping track of how the group's picks have done depending on the number of players making the pick.

The data the last 2 years have shown some predictive value:

1. Fade picks made by greater than 50% of the players. 9 - 6 (60%) over the last 2 years.
2. Tail picks made by greater than 33% of the players up to and including 50% of the players. 36 - 28 - 3 (56.3%) over the last 2 years.
3. Fade picks made by greater than 25% of the players up to and including 33% of the players. 43 - 58 - 4 (57.4%) over the last 2 years.

That's a total of 103 - 77 - 6 (57.2%) over the last 2 years. About 5 picks a week on average.

For this year, the number of players would be as follows for the groups above:
Note: these numbers will change next week as we have 16 players now.
I kept these numbers for Weeks 1 - 3 because of skip weeks and I'm lazy.

1. 8 or more players on a pick: FADE
2. 4 - 5 players on a pick: FADE
3. 6 - 7 players on a pick: TAIL

For Week 3, here are the numbers:
1. 1 - 0
2. 3 - 3
3. 0 - 0

Week 3 Total: 4 - 3

For Week 2, here are the numbers:
1, 0 - 1
2. 4 - 1
3. 1 - 1

Week 2 Total: 5 - 3

For Week 1, here are the numbers:
1. 0 - 1 (lost by 1/2 point)
2. 1 - 5 (1 loss by 1/2 point)
3. 0 - 1

Week 1 Total: 1 - 7.

Season Totals:
1. 1 - 2
2. 8 - 9
3. 1 - 2

Season Total: 10 - 13

You are right. I scored the losses and missed that you didn't have a confidence pick. So 2-3 and 11-6 would be right.

Thanks for the check.
