I'm a little mad at Yahoo..I saw Teddy was going to be out and wanted to change my pick to GB cause it was blatantly obvious they were going to cover the spread. I logged in at 8:05 and it locked my pick already. Is that normal? Cause that sucks if so.

Peyton Manning could have stepped in for the Vikings and I would have still picked the pack

Deadline is set at 5 minutes before gametime, so I don't know why it locked in so early on you.

 

Football gods were punishing you for your faith in Teddy Twatwater I guess.

Yahoo sucks. They make you pick an eliminator before the Thursday game. any other site lets you pick any game that has not started.

 

Next year the Browns forum should take a look at ESPN for the 2 pickem games, fantasy football, and the eliminator. ESPN runs a much better site for such games. IMO

Man you all must have made some great picks like I somehow managed to do this week. I went 13-2 and still only have a one point lead! It's pretty cool seeing how well a lot of people are doing. I just keep hoping this spread knowledge carries over with me to Vegas in about a month haha.

No kidding. I looked after the late games and thought I had the week for sure and then saw that about ten others were doing just as good or better!

Those Brits love their dartboards. This week Howie closed his eyes and threw darts at a board with football helmets instead of numbers and ... voila! ... he wins the Blind Squirrel Award this week with 10 right .. .

Jrb still in control with a six game lead at the midpoint ...

 

 

Beating MarkO = priority Number 1 as he gives me most smack over pro pickem

 

Beating Kamac19 and G man = priority number 2 as I want to be king Brit (London Brown too although we have not met in person)

 

Beating Jrb = unlikely priority 3 as he is on fire this season.

 

Don't mind losing to Furnier or Peen as they are such stand up gents

 

Losing to The "Great" Zomboni - well, let's face it, that aint going to happen.....

hey now, I'd like my name to be included in the stand up gents conversation!

 

I can't tell you how I've managed to pick so well other than actually reading into how most NFL betting lines work. Like I said before, those double digits are easy to take but this year in particular have rarely panned out for the favorite. Keep your fingers crossed for me, I'm taking this momentum to Vegas this weekend.

So, how does this work? When I log on it says I am 10-2 so far. Is that just winners, or vs. the spread. I was happy to lose my pick of the Steelers over Jets btw. Only other loss, so far: Saints.

 

You are picking against the spread. 10-2 is damn good.

Gipper - I saw your picks, very good against those spreads last week - pity you joined in over half way through the season!!

 

I made the fatal mistake of doing research this week and not going with the gut - gut always pans out better. Oh well, I'll just have to get a perfect gut score this week.

 

jrb12711 - have we met at a tailagte? Unless I have met you at a tailgate and drank orange shit with you and beerbonged with you I have no idea whether you are a stand up guy - although I am sure you are!

 

Go Brownies - still first place.

Did I win it this week? How do we find out? Or do you, as commissioner, have to make that report. I know I won last night's game.

I also picked the Eagles to score the most points. But another team scored like 51 pts. in a game. Eagles could have scored again to have the highest score, but their lead was so big they quit trying to score.

Gipper, you need to click on browns board weekly performance - you'll see what everyone in the league scored for the whole season

Ah, OK, thank you. By the way, it shows that I won this past week.

 

So, perhaps I should pull a Rocky Marciano and retire as an undefeated champion.

You could retire with the highest winning percentage of All-Time ... orrr, you can man up and keep picking them and if you have the highest picking percentage for the entire season we will give you special recognition alongside the Winner.

Does that special recognition involve monetary remuneration?

Tour is this weeks winner, breaking a logjam at 9 picks by winning the tiebreaker scenario.

 

JRB cruising with a 6 game lead ... is this going to be "wire-to-wire" ... or is someone going to create some drama?

Well I created the drama myself and gave everyone a 3-game pick present for the holiday. I got distracted by delicious food and alcohol and forgot to put in my Thursday picks. I'll make up for it tomorrow though!

 

Ruh Roh! Lead dwindled down to three ...
