As always, it's nice when people's pick names are identifiable. Also, don't be the guy that abandons his pick set just because he forgets a week and blows his chances.

[Cool Chris]

In.

[axeman90210]

Alright, let's see how many weeks before I accidentally miss one and give up this year

[T-ski]

In it to win it.

[ProfessorPeart]

Signed up hours ago as I was getting ready to go to a wedding. If I play my normal game, I will start strong and fade slowly and painfully as the season progresses.

[KevShmev]

I don't think I have done this in a few years after being "that guy" who forgot about it after a few weeks  , but I am back in, and I bookmarked it and put it near the top, so I should be able to remember to do them every week.

See, I'm the opposite; I start like ass then improve, but not nearly enough to make any difference.

[Dublagent66]

Got 2nd last year by very small margin.  The only way to improve on that, is to win.

Status: Signed up
Target: Don't finish last


(have Yahoo changed the game slightly? It looks like they've decided to stop making my life easier by showing who's favoured to win each game)

Odds favourite is still on the left, with the dog on the right. Pick distribution is still in a box on the right hand side. Group picks will still show odds. What seems to be missing?

In this time.

It's back to normal now. For some reason when I first signed up the pick distribution wasn't showing up.

[Dublagent66]

The pick distribution just showed up for me yesterday.

[T-ski]

Week 2 may be the hardest to decipher in quite some time. Lots of even matchups.

[Dublagent66]

I'm beginning to think I might actually do better just flipping a coin. 

[T-ski]

Went against the grain with Denver and Dallas and……boom, 1st place.

[El Barto]

I pussied out on Dallas at the last minute. That never, ever goes well for me. Should have stuck with my gut on that one.

I thought about changing my pick, but I picked against them last week and lost.  You were right about that front 7, I just wasn't sure about the O-line.  For whatever reason, they played way better than expected.  Really wasn't sure how it would shake out at the end.  They kept the G-men in it for most of the game.

It was Gallup and Schultz that made me change my mind. I assumed that would turn it into a Zeek vs Saquan battle, and there's no way Zeek wins that one.

Well, that's cause Zeke isn't alone.  Him and Pollard are the smash bros on offense and Pollard is even more explosive than Zeke.

Well, like my picks, I blew that prediction. Just an awful start.

[DragonAttack]

Can I say that, as a group, we are stinking up the joint!?!     For my five years here, I've never seen anything this remotely bad.  Gawd, I'm glad I don't bet.  Can't imagine what I'd be do if dealing with a spread.

I'm 25-22-1 after three weeks, and only two games behind. 

Leaving home for ten days, so I've made my picks already for the next two weeks.

(watch me go 26-5 or something like that  )

[Stadler]

I'm pissed about that Dolphins/Bengals game. I'm using the Yahoo app, and misread who the "favorite" was and ended up with the 'phins.  I'm not in a position to be giving up points and I gave one up there. 

[El Barto]

Big thanks to the Jets for bailing me out of that stupid London game. 

[Stadler]

Is anyone having any problems determining the "Favorites" for each game?  I screwed up the Cincinnati game because of that, and now, on the App it shows LA as the favorite tonight, but everywhere else is showing SF.   Not that it's the only thing that matters, but it's an important fact or variable when assessing the game (for me).

[T-ski]

Can’t help you Stadler, never even consider the favorites, it’s all gut instinct for me.

I don't use the app.  Just go straight into yahoo and add the bookmark to your home screen.

Note to self: if, during some future game, the Raiders are up 45-0 at halftime and the opposition have lost 75% of their playing staff to injury, still do NOT back Vegas to win. Even if the opposition are reduced to playing the lady who cuts the halftime oranges at quarterback...do NOT back the fucking Raiders.

[faizoff]

I have no idea how I'm in the lead. I typically think my picks are shit.

True or False is much more forgiving than multiple choice. Can you imagine the dynamic if we included point spreads and O/U?

My abject dislike of Hoodie Jr. makes it easy for me to pick against them. Carr is a good QB and he just got a bum deal getting stuck with a guy who has proven he has no business being a head coach.

Anyone else exasperated that it's almost impossible to find a good game summary these days that isn't about "the spread"?  I DON'T CARE that Belichick is 4-12 against the spread when a road underdog in the division.  WTF?  I want to know how Matthew Judon responds to the run.  How McCourty does against the RPO.

Even the network talking heads are more about the spread than win/loss nowadays. It doesn't really effect me insofar as the picks go, but it does bug me as just another example of American capitalistic idiocy.

[Cool Chris]

I tune out conversations that involve the spread, as I do not gamble. Much more annoying are discussions about which players people should start in their fantasy league.
