And everybody do us all a favor and spend 5 minutes scrolling ahead and making a pick for Thursday and any Saturday games this year.
-
For the first time, I'm actually going to be intelligent and just make a selection for every single game right now. Because I always miss at least half a day's worth of games at some point.

Every year I think about doing that, but I rely on picks being unmade to know which I've thought about and which I've defaulted to.
-
Back to defend my title this year ;D Hopefully we can get more to join soon...
-
I'm in!
-
In it to win it!
-
That list needs "2017 Stadler" on it so badly, and I'm here to deliver!
Go Pats. I'm in.

I entered the group and pass, but it wants me to sign in. I don't have a Yahoo account. Do I need one to do this?

I suspect that you do.
And who doesn't have a Yahoo account nowadays! There's no reason to actually need one here in 2016, but I figured half the population of the planet got one 10 years ago.
-
I don't have one and not getting one. Oh well...
Spared everyone an ass kicking I guess! ;D
-
Well that's a strangely defiant stance. Did Jerry Yang run over your dog when you were a kid or something?
Your flag only has 49 stars?
I'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missouri!
-
Old guys can't remember more than 3 passwords.
-
Yeah, password, password123 and PassWord are easy to get confused.

I have mine set to something nobody could ever figure out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6iW-8xPw3k

Your password is Youtube?

As valid as this may be, I honestly have no idea what exactly Yahoo as a business does these days.
-
In it to win it! Until I accidentally miss a week and then just give up on the season.
Fixed for me.

lol

If it was invented after 1990, TAC wants nothing to do with it.

So true.
Ok Bart, you can have your thread back!
-
In the meantime there's still a pretty poor turnout.
-
SJ 59ers are on board

Haha, I love this. (I didn't click the link; I just think it's funny that someone might have "https://..." as a password).
-
And I'm starting off 0-1. As usual.
-
Pleased to see Reapsta sign up. Hadn't seen the dude in ages. I'll assume that the 59ers are Bosk. I have a guess who legalize ranch is, but probably not best to speculate.
-
Might be the last time I get to say that I'm in second place, one game out of first.
And that I'm tied with six other contestants.
-
Omg I'm doing the worst I've ever done
-
Man, I completely screwed this thing up yesterday. I imported my picks from my money league, I remember doing it, but presumably didn't hit save, or moved away from the page before the save happened. Shame, too. I had a good week.
Eh, Rattlehead has been running away with it anyway.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... not so fast. Some of you might have noted that Stadler has knocked the shit out of it over the last two weeks (including calling the TB/Caroline game). I believe I've jumped from "Suckage" up to tied for second in the space of two weeks. Though, of course, now that I am talking smack, I'll get 6 points tops this week. Thanks for playing. :)

I'm bombing this year. Like REALLY bad.

As predicted, seven points going into Monday night's epic contest between the Cards and the Jets. Dammit.

I am a game behind you.
Well, glad it's a marathon, and not a sprint, but I feel like I've been walking in mud. Hopefully, none of us are betting money where we have the spread involved.......
-
Things have certainly tightened up at the 47% mark of the season. The marathon continues.....
1 Cool Chris 75-43
2 Rattlehead 75-43
3 SJ 59ers 71-47 (I went incognito, in case I bombed)
4 axeman9182 69-49
5 Stadler 68-50
6 ReaPsTA 66-52
7 DoC 65-53
8 hefdaddy42 64-54
9 pogoowner 63-55
10 El Barto 60-58
11 Splent 60-58

Pretty crappy season thus far for me. Unofficially I'm at 68. Thankfully, my long-time nemesis in these matters is having an even crappier season.

How do the Bears beat the Vikes? This parity is for the freaking birds, and I don't mean the Cardinals.

Losing Bridgewater and Peterson had to catch up to them eventually.

I don't think that's it. Even if they had those two guys, losing to a division rival on the road is never a far fetched scenario.
-
I have been creeping and creeping and creeping on Rattlehead. As I have constantly said to myself, 'it is a marathon, not a sprint, it is a marathon, not a sprint'. I am now closer than I have been all season to Rattlehead, and I can sense....
hey, wait a sec, Cool Chris. wtw is going on? You have turned a 7 game gap into a 4 game lead. Well done, sir.
Last week, there were at three games that I had as total locks, that just did not go as predicted. I thank my lucky stars that I do not gamble anything over $5 a week TOTAL (other than the playoffs). At that time of year, it is much more. I just cannot fathom betting REAL money on any sport.

Man, that's just awful. Unofficially I'm 8 games out, which is appalling. And after last week I only hold a two game lead over my IRL nemesis.
-
I'm doing baaaaaaaad

Thank you, not bad for a rookie at this!
Edit: Clearly this is the week to gain ground on me, I am doing terrible!

I hate to be this guy with three weeks to go, but:

Damn it, I forgot to set my pick for the Jets/Dolphins game, so it went with my beginning of the season home team selection.

Still in the hunt for 3rd, but I lost two needed picks when mine did not save last week....grrr. Definitely a two person race for first.
-
5 game lead with 3 to play. My picks for this weekend:
The 1976 Bucs, and the 2008 Lions.
-
Unofficially at 167, so I'd be vying for 3rd if not for two bouts of incompetence. Still, not much to brag about. Pretty rough season.
I have gone 16-0 this post season, though. Today will be the much tougher test.
-
What do I win?

An apology from me for not bumping the thread and congratulating you as I should have. 179 wins is pretty damned dominant. That would have won my money league just as handily, which is usually more competitive than DTF. WTG. :tup

On the bright side, while butt ugly compared to CC's 179, my 170 was sufficient to win me yet another bottle of single malt. And, by hitching my horse to NE in my preseason predictions I picked up a couple of more trophy six-packs. No DTF gold, but still a pretty victorious season for me.
