There were 16 games last weekend, how did we all end up with records that only add up to 15 games? I believe I went 13-3.

 

Dang! Major congrats, Paul!

Thanks Tom.

At this rate, if the regular season could only go another 5 weeks I could catch up to Phil and Nicholas.

I'm just gearing up for the playoffs!

Good catch

l missed the DET SEA game
Everyone picked DET except Pilotocs
So everyone can add one game to their wins except Pilotocs who needs to add a game to his losses

l have updated my spreadsheet
So the correct totals will be carried forward next week which is the final week of the regular season

 

On what planet did MIA beat TENN?

I believe I was 14-2

Next season I will beg of you to use Yahoo! to run the contest,
for a whole bunch of reasons, not just scoring.

 

We all had TEN and it was counted as a win for everyone. You add one win if you picked SEA.

 

I'm confused. All I know is Piloto and I are duking it out for last place!

Phil, I want to change my pick from Cincy to Cleveland, Joe Burrow isn't playing so I think Cleveland will win this game. Pls use this one for my picks:

KC DEN - KC
DAL PHI - DAL
GB DET - GB

IND JAX - IND
WAS NYG - WAS
CHI MIN - MIN

TEN HOU - TEN
PIT BAL - BAL
CIN CLE - CLE

SF LAR - LAR
CAR TB - TB

LAC LV - LAC

 

Tie-breaker #1 for week 18 -
Total Points - San Fran/Los Angeles Rams - closest to it, period, not closest 'without going over'.

Tie Breaker #2 -
Total Points - Denver/Los Angeles Chargers - closest to it, period, not closest 'without going over'.

Some folks are tied or within a win of each other...

 

I know I am a broken record, but this is one reason we should let Yahoo! manage this,
you can change at any time up until 5 min before kickoff.
Why is this a big deal?
How many guys have come out on Sunday before the game popping positive on a Covid
test and missing the game at literally the last minute?
I know - I know - this is suppsed to be for fun only, but still...
It's a big deal - if Aaron Rodgers played in the KC game they probably would have won...

 

Not "probably" - they "definitely" would have won if Rodgers was playing.

Funny, are these two ever going to meet and play vs one another? First time they were scheduled in a prime game, Mahomes was out with an injury. Second time, Rodgers is in Covid absence.

Maybe they "finally" meet this year in the Superbowl.

 

You cannot say 'definitely' - Would you bet me your house?
If KC wins I get your house, If GB wins you get nothing from me?

This is an odd season.
IMO, there is Green Bay, and then there is everyone else, and that means both AFC and NFC.
And Green Bay's defense is not that steller.

We've seen teams play GREAT, and we've seen the same teams play like crap.

I can't figure out which teams will show up: AZ, Dallas, Buffalo, Rams, Chargers, Indy,
Cinci, TB, SF.

I will admit I am just a LITTLE surprised Jacksonville is this bad... and Detroit has lost 5
games by a total of 13 points...

 

KC DEN SAT - KC - wife says so
DAL PHI SAT - DAL - sorry Keith
GB DET - GB - Lions are kitties

IND JAX - IND - JAX is the worst
WAS NYG - WAS - Hail to the Team With No Name!
CHI MIN - CHI - is Cousins playing?

TEN HOU - TEN - ugly season over for Texans
PIT BAL - PIT - Ben goes out a winner
CIN CLE - CLE - Brown best Burrow-less Bengals

SF LAR - LAR - Rams headbutt the Niners
CAR TB - TB - Bucs pillage the Cats
SEA AZ - AZ - it's in the Cards

NE MIA - MIA - even in their heyday, recall Pats had trouble in South Florida
NO ATL - ATL - home cooking
NYJ BUF - BUF - Buff the Magic Dragon
LAC LV - LV - assuming the Raiders can go a few days with no one getting arrested

Tie-breaker #1 for week 18 -
Total Points - San Fran/Los Angeles Rams 14, BUT if Jimmy G doesn’t play, change it to 136


Tie Breaker #2 -
Total Points - Denver/Los Angeles Chargers 3, BUT if there is a delay due to lightning again, change it to 2

 

TEN won
Everyone picked TEN
My spreadsheet is correct everyone got credit for the win.

On Yahoo if one doesn’t get their picks on time they won’t be counted no matter the excuse. Sounds good to me.

 

But KC at DEN Saturday

 

Did you watch that game? GB lost by a FG, without Rodgers, and at that time KC was struggling.... and GB almost pulled it off if not for some questionabke officiating and play calling.

So yes, I stand my "GB definitely would have won that game with Rodgers"

 

Dammit, yeah, it's Chargers/Raiders, go with that one.

 

Of course I watched the entire game, and I stand by my statement - would you bet me your house, with nothing it return if I lost?
How many people picked Jacksonville to beat Buffalo, wasn't that a 'lock' also?
Goofy things happen in different situations, who is to say Aaron doesn't throw three pick 6's on tipped balls?
I'm not arguing who the better team was at the time, what I am saying is wierd things happen...
Did you see Green Bay's very first game of the year?
