Since all four home teams won last weekend, I think I will pick the home teams to win this weekend. My divisional playoff picks are posted.

Anything wrong with that logic?

Fonz 2007-01-08 02:30 PM

I just checked the page and noticed there were no red borders around my picks. Way to go me! Ah well, will probably fuck up completely this week. :)

Dunno about the logic, but the picks look about right |thumb

Simon 2007-01-08 03:02 PM

I'm 2 for 4 so I'm not sure which way to tweak my system.

I think I'll try folding the little pieces of paper on the short side this week and see if I get the same results.

Either that or I'll go with what the folks who don't use TPat's system are picking.

Hey now....Let's hope your right.

Too bad, you can see my picks until you've already picked yours....

I really know nothing about sports. I just take blind guesses.

I do plan on getting you a gift like I did for Dare last year - but the only problem is that I'll have to wait for the spread to come out before you tell me who you'll be rooting for :D

Dr B
Doesn't really matter, You'll be at GG's house in Feb, probably no snow, annoyed by UW, Yell, MML, Ramster and the like. Well just like last year except I won't be there |cry|
And I won't spoil the surprise :)

Chop Smith 2007-01-11 07:09 PM

I need your picks by tomorrow at noon EST.

Greenguy 2007-01-12 11:19 AM

How many slackers do you have? I usually found it helpful to PM them or post their names & embarrass them in public for their laziness :D

Chop Smith 2007-01-12 11:28 AM

Yep but you are 'kind and gentle'.

If I don't hear from a few in 33 mintues, they are out.

FanTC 2007-01-12 11:40 AM

Hey Chop,

Did I pick all 4? I just got a strange feeling that I forgot to type in my Indy/Baltimore pick, kinda like when you leave the house on a trip and get down the road and wonder if you left the water running.

T minus 22 1/2 hours til we leave for New Orleans for the game, so the energy and excitement has my mind a bit scrambled.

Yep I got four picks from you. Did you mean to pick the Colts?

Someone is beary late.

FanTC 2007-01-12 12:03 PM

no, didn't I take Baltimore? hell, I'm more confused now than before... whatever I picked, I'll stick with. I just wanted to confirm I had picked someone for all 4.

I picked the Baltimore Colts in that game - I win either way :D

Well, at least Greenguy gets jokes.|haha

emmanuelle 2007-01-12 12:15 PM

Chop it's been 14 minutes already- why isnt the page updated yet?

|couch|

FanTC 2007-01-12 12:19 PM

oh damn.. that's just plain wrong!
I've been up 36 hours trying to wear myself out so I can go to bed and be fully energized for the game. It's gonna be a long day tomorrow. Leave here about 9, kickoff at 7, party the whole time between, scream like hell for 3 hours, and then party thru the night in the French Quarter or drive the hour home and cry myself to sleep, depending on how the game turns out.

emmanuelle 2007-01-12 12:26 PM

pack your kevlar :-/

FanTC 2007-01-12 12:42 PM

nah, no need for kevlar. I'm wearing 4 jerseys, 3 layers of face paint and prolly a 3 foot gold afro wig. Air can barely penetrate, so bullets won't be a problem

Proof readers needed. Low pay and bad working conditions. Applicants can contact Trev or Torn.

Chop Smith 2007-01-12 02:25 PM

GG just reminded me to tell ya'll to check your picks. Let me know if I have made any mistakes. I am still trying to learn to walk on water. |buddy|

MeatPounder 2007-01-12 02:55 PM

Boy am I in Trouble...T Pat picked 3 of my picks..lol

Greenguy 2007-01-12 03:08 PM

I just noticed that I had a voice mail from docholly. Aside from it snowing in Vegas :D she is at work without an internet connection & wanted me to make her picks.

So I went to my favorite site - random.org - 0 was the home team, 1 was the away & I sent her picks into Chop (watch her go 4-0 & me go 3-1)

Chop Smith 2007-01-13 07:50 PM

Guess that is why the call it football! Some fives on this page.

Chop Smith 2007-01-13 11:23 PM

Deuces are wild!

Greenguy 2007-01-13 11:40 PM

Holy Shit Chop! If you update after every game, people will expect me to do the same for next year's Super Bowl contest :D

That 4 next to my name will look a lot more respectable when it changes to a 6 tomorrow night |thumb

MrYum 2007-01-13 11:51 PM

Guess that's what I get for picking against Peyton |crazy|

Oh well, it'll look better after tomorrow when I've got 6 wins up |thumb

Sorry Greenie :D

Trev 2007-01-14 03:54 AM

I would like to thank Walrus, and (especially) TPat, for making me look so good down at the bottom of the list. :D


And, I would just like to say again........ Fucking Romo |catfight|

sweetpurple04 2007-01-14 08:19 AM

I'm gonna pass.. I always lose in bets and contests!.. sad!

Simon 2007-01-14 09:55 AM

What the hell was that the Colts were playing, soccer?!?
They scored all 15 of their points by kicking the ball.
Damn good thing they had someone who can kick.

I figured that the Ravens defense could keep the score low, didn't think they'd do it by only allowing FG's, but I thought that the Ravens would be able to muster a little more offense of their own. Turn those two McNair interceptions (at the Indy 1 and 23) into scores and...

That's why they play them on the field, and why we place wagers. {insert 'heavy sigh' smiley here}

emmanuelle 2007-01-14 02:31 PM

I am thrilled to be doing better (so far) than some people who actually understand football.

The only thing that I know about the game is that our guys' balls are bigger :D
