Comeonman Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I logged in at 8:05 and it locked my pick already. Is that normal? Cause that sucks if so. 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.

jrb12711 Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 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 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.

HowieDawg Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 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.

The Gipper Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 You are picking against the spread. 10-2 is damn good. Zombo 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
