2019 NFL Pick'em
« on: August 27, 2019, 04:36:38 PM »
All are welcome. It's more fun when people know who they're playing against, so a username would certainly be better than saintsfan420. Abandoning your pick set because you suck is a dick move. Don't be a dick.

Glad that this was made available again this year. 

Thank you.

Now, if I can just avoid the subpar one week that always crops up, as well as not forgetting an occasional Thursday or Saturday game :censored , maybe I can avoid another middle of the pack finish.  As is, this is always a great way of keeping a tally throughout the season, and show that I do know 'a thing or two' about the game still.  I really enjoy this.  Just glad this doesn't use point spreads!

Have a good (but not great) season, everyone! ;)

For all those that are new to this, don't sweat it and don't worry.  One bad week won't hurt you at all.

12-3-1 and tied for 1st.  I can say I was in the top spot, at one time, for three years running.  Not bad for Wed night/Thurs pm picks. And I remember spending about an hour on Sunday AMs back in the day.....

but...it's a marathon, and not a sprint

The tie isn't separate.  It's counted in the loss column for everyone.

it's football, so I'm going to watch it, but in a sense, this is my personal hell, watching my two least favorite quarterbacks in the league, and actually having to root for one of them.

Actually, it isn't counted at all.  At first glance, it's odd to see only 15 total games listed.  Then I realized, 'oh, yeah, there was a tie.'  Thus, the 12-3-1 record I listed.

In gambling terms, it's called a "push".  It means, essentially, that there's "no action", as if the bet was never placed.  I believe that here, they treat it as a "push".

I've staying out of this since it doesn't really matter, but you're all wrong. It's not a push, it's not a loss, and the bet did happen. All we're counting here are wins. That's why the leader board says "total points--12" for first place. Losses and ties are meaningless, other than they're not wins. A tie is simply not a win in this case so it's disregarded.

Yeah, not a win.  In other words, we all lost...a win.  On the other hand, we all got a loss last night who picked Carolina and 3 people didn't make their picks.  A Thursday night wash.  :lol

I called the upset in Oakland.  I thought that might be one of those games.  Oakland played well and within themselves last week, but it's not going my way so far.   That's going to hurt, since I'm the only one to have picked Oakland.  Everything else has either been a win across the board, or pretty evenly split.

I cannot seem to win so far.   I'm barely over 50%, tied with a guy that doesn't know which end of the football goes first, and I don't even get the easy one last night (though I'm not alone).

I went with the safe picks this week and still struggling.   Daniel Jones flexes his wings, the Saints impress in Seattle, Carolina pulls one out of their keister.... (should have called the Chargers, though; I watched that last two minutes and Rivers looked horrible, and that's two weeks in a row now they couldn't convert.)

Man, oh man. Digging myself a hole; it's going to be a long season.

I didn't get any of those games either.  Seattle can't win at home against the Drew Brees-less Saints?  NYG only won cause TB let em back in the game and their kicker misses a chip shot FG to win it.  Chargers shoulda won easily at home.  Arizona...well...they're Arizona.  I never pick them on the road, but at home the chances are way better.  I also picked the Eagles at home.  I guess they are banged up more than I thought.  Sure glad that I don't bet on any of these games.  :lol

I'm clearly the jinxed member of the group at this point.  I try to find the underdog, where I can get a point and most of the pack do not, but since I'm sucking ass this year so far, I figured I'd play it safe(r).    Imagine my glee when I saw that I had picked with the majority in all my games in the 1:00 set, and all but one of the afternoon (and evening games).  So rather than all of us getting like 10 or 11, we ALL took the pipe.   I'm tied for second, one point off the leader, and I'm only at .500 in picking this week.

And I'm kicking myself for going against my better judgment with the Raiders (who I've been riding all year; I think they might be good after all).
