chuck rank	Tue Sep 06 17:06:33 2011 Go big or go home.
werewolf dictator rank	Sun Oct 09 03:50:21 2011 i would think this game more interesting if people got second 'lock' pick each week +5 points if they was right on this pick -5 points if they was wrong on this pick advantages [1] if some one thought detroit was truly a significant favorite vs dallas last week then they have good reasons to pick this [by current rules they only get 1 point for this if right] or same with cincinnati as favorite over jacksonville this week [now they only get 2 points if right] [2] with double games picked i think it could reduce luck some disadvantages [1] i see it breaks multiyear traditions this dont bother me as its my first year but maybe it bothers others [2] its double as many games to score for the gamemaster[s] so some more work for him[them]
chuck rank	Sun Oct 09 15:26:18 2011 Interesting idea. This is my first year doing this, so I won't weigh in, except to say I let Excel do the scoring for me and this wouldn't really be a problem, would just have to play around with it... though for the sake of organization, both should be in one post.
Nekran rank	Mon Oct 10 01:00:12 2011 "Nekran Member Fri Oct 07 04:40:20 10/9 4:05 ET tb SF +3 I can see a lot of good picks, but this is simply a lock." Fail...
Sam Adams rank	Mon Oct 10 01:22:23 2011 epic fail! I think the current system works fine... no need to fix whats not broken.
Dakyron rank	Mon Oct 10 23:28:10 2011 I agree, no need to complicate it.
chuck rank	Wed Oct 12 06:12:59 2011 Lee Evans and Braylon Edwards - grab them off waivers now and gamble on healthy returns? Would you?
Dakyron rank	Thu Oct 13 20:14:26 2011 How the hell are the Giants favored over the Bills?
Nekran rank	Thu Oct 13 21:00:48 2011 I thought the same about Tampa Bay and the 49ers last week...
chuck rank	Thu Oct 13 23:34:55 2011 Hahaha. How'd that work out for ya?
chen rank	Thu Oct 13 23:39:35 2011 "How the hell are the Giants favored over the Bills?" Retarded people from NYC betting their home team strong who haven't seen the bills play this season. I don't see how the eagles are favored to be honest, but I'm so far behind I need to go for points rather than safe picks.
Clitoral Hood rank	Thu Oct 13 23:52:34 2011 the cle/oak game was also looking decent. but every time I've picked a game with oakland in it I've lost. I also don't know anyone on cleveland past mccoy. so fuck them. re: giants/bils I could see the giants winning. I will admit to not having seen a game from them, but they usually have a strong pass rush. might be just enough to throw harvard off his game.
Dakyron rank	Fri Oct 14 00:30:57 2011 Well, the Giants beat the Cardinals in the last minute, in a game where they were completely outplayed. Then, they went home and got clobbered by the Seahawks. Meanwhile, the Bills have beat the Patriots and the Eagles. Its always a crapshoot this early in the season, but it seems reasonable to me that Buffalo should be favored in that game.
werewolf dictator rank	Fri Oct 14 07:22:11 2011 bills giants looks strange by almost all indications - but at least i see one math model picks giants eagles redskins is more weird eagles are 1-4 and continue being favorite all 6 weeks this year [even eagles one win is against maybe worst performing nfl team in rams] i will probably pick browns like chen - but guessing upset at around 30% probability im not enthusiastic
Clitoral Hood rank	Mon Oct 17 01:24:04 2011 yup, giants won by 3.
Dakyron rank	Mon Oct 17 02:11:17 2011 Guess Vegas was right. Should have stuck with my TB pick...
The Powers That Be rank	Mon Oct 17 04:30:49 2011 Fucking Bills.
Hot Rod rank	Tue Oct 25 22:23:35 2011 Clit, you missed my points for week 7 Hot Rod Member Fri Oct 21 18:33:06 10/23 4:05 ET kc OAK +4.5 Renzo posted a thread awhile back asking the board if I should be allowed to participate and, IIRC, no one objected.
Clitoral Hood rank	Tue Oct 25 22:34:49 2011 I just looked at names in the list and found their picks. add your name to the list if you want.
Hot Rod rank	Tue Oct 25 22:36:24 2011 Cool
Dakyron rank	Fri Nov 11 02:41:39 2011 Too bad Oakland isnt favored again this week. Im climbed to the top of the standings, helped up by the weak, flabby arm of Carson Palmer.
Sam Adams rank	Fri Nov 11 06:56:28 2011 Palmer just pimpsmacked rivers. Ya, rivers, you know its time to off yourself when that happens.
Clitoral Hood rank	Fri Nov 11 20:05:50 2011 remember when I said palmer to the raiders was a pretty good move for the raiders? well excluding his "what the fuck, I'm in coach?" first half of football, he's 5/4 td ratio and 1-1 as a starter.
Renzo Marquez rank	Sat Nov 12 02:32:33 2011 It was a retarded move for the Raiders. Great trade for the bungles, unfortunately.
Clitoral Hood rank	Sat Nov 12 03:10:08 2011 they overpayed by a hell of a lot. but certainly got a good qb out of it.
Renzo Marquez rank	Thu Dec 22 02:40:18 2011 Hot Rod is banned and disqualified for failing to keep his spam faggotry out of the picks thread.
Hot Rod rank	Thu Dec 22 03:11:17 2011 Please don't start that crap again. All I did was correct you because you are too immature to do the job tight. .
Hot Rod rank	Thu Dec 22 03:11:52 2011 *-right
Renzo Marquez rank	Thu Dec 22 03:14:34 2011 You didn't correct, you spammed. You're toast.
