Football pick 'em

Remember, I can pee farther than all of you. Feel the wrath as SofaKing showers all of you with disgrace.

I don’t live in Texas, I live in Michigan. We’re almost, but not quite as religious about our football as those Texans are. It’s a contest in the local newspaper that’s been running for years. I usually end up winning free food and movie passes.

Just checking in, there are just under 20 participating in this so far, I think the league can hold around 50, if anyone else wants in you have around 1 week left.

I think I capped it at 25, but that can be raised if we fill up.

I suppose when I’m not dominating SDMB Fantasy Football as the Continental Drifters, I may as well take some time to also dominate Pick 'Em as…

Gneiss Schist

Just letting everyone know that I fully expect to win every week, and if I don’t, it’s because I’m going easy on you suckers.

lno, I fully intend to whip your sorry butt in this venue as well. Care to go double or nothing on the brewskis? At least you won’t be able to blame this one on not attending the draft…

I was going to save you all the trouble of having your ass kicked in two different arena, but since no one liked my Boardfather thread, I’ll whip your asses over and over and over!

Good Luck everyone!

For your vewing pleasure:

Okay, when I said “whip your sorry butt”, I meant in a very friendly, over the long run kind of way.

Pass the crow, please. Mmm, tastes like chicken.

Let’s pretend we did go double-or-nothing on the brewskis. (Phew.)

lno: spoken like a gentleman, sir.

I think I might have score a little better if I understood the Confidence Points a little better.

If I’m absolutely confident of a pick, do I assign #1 or #15?
I think I did it backwards - I gave my most confident choice #1.

Backwards. You gamble the most points on your most confident picks.

Of course, then you get fucked on 13-Minnesota and 12-Tennessee …

And Shibb? We’ve got sixteen more weeks of wagers ahead.

Hey Jack Batty, for ‘allegedly’ doing it backwards, you still finished 5th so far, not bad.

That’s what freaked me out. I think I only got two or three wrong, I thought I was going to be right at the top, damnit.
:slight_smile:

So how does the scoring work now? I’ve never been in anything like this(ain’t that the truth!)

Milo wins this week, probably. Does he score 25? The next person 24…
Does he score whatever he got right (98+tonights game)?
Do we score like that and then add on week after week, etc?

Cheese, its cumulative, he scores 99 points (or whatever) if he gets Monday night rright, then his point total of next week gets added. The final score is the sum of each weeks scores.

Jack, frankly I’d have scored a hell of alot higher if I’d done it backwards…fucking Minnesota pussies.

I only got three wrong, including my #15 (Vikings, whoops), and #1 (Eagles!). I do have 10 points on tonight’s game, though…

I think I need to revise my selection method. After all, I throw a good dart game, but not THAT good…
