Still waiting......



I need a score for Monday night as well, ehbeth

17 players in so far. Chicago is a unanimous choice and the wish and prayers (or geographical location) go to:

Cleveland - JPB, Pantalones, ci
Houston - LTX, edgar, lmur
Tampa Bay - ci, jespah, lmur
Tennessee - JPB, Pantalones, jespah
Arizona - jespah
Buffalo - jespah
NY Jets - LTX
Oakland - ci


The toss-up games are:
Detroit 9
Minnesota 8

Chain-rattlers should stand by for nudges and prods to:
CowDoc
Mrs CowDoc
Ragman
Sublime1
chiso
cjhsa
gustavratzenhofer
kickycan
maporsche
panzade

harrumph
still hate the Ohio match-up


I'll go with the home of Johnny Fever.

35

My Oakland pick is based on nothing more than sentiment.

I like 'em too, CI, but c'mon.

Cycloptichorn

Cyclo and George have identical picks. The only difference is the tie-breaker. However they end up in the end, they'll be there together.

Week 2

Pittsburgh Steelers beats Buffalo Bills
Carolina Panthers over Houston Texans
Jacksonville Jaguars over Atlanta Falcons
New Orleans Saints beat Tampa Bay Bucs
GB Packers over NY Giants
SF 49ers beat St. Louis Rams (toss-up)
Cin. Bengals beat Cleveland Browns
Indianapolis Colts beat Tennessee Titans
Minn Vikings beat Detroit Lions
Dallas Cowboys beat Miami Dolphins
Seattle Seahawks beat Arizona Cards
Balt Ravens beat NY Jets
Denver Broncos beat Oakland Raiders
Chicago Bears beat KC Chiefs
NE Pats beat San Diego Chargers

Wash Redskins beat Phil Eagles (picking this as upset)
Tie-breaker 37 pt.

Ragman is now in and the Cowdocs will be in once they finish working for the week. Panzade typically waits until he gets the final advice from his bookie in Vegas. Kickycan (who actually started this game 4 years ago) has asked not to be nagged. The others are fair game. Where is Mike Sublime?

I'll write pm reminders tomorrow, nods to JPB/RJB, probably in the morning my time in case anyone doesn't use a computer on the weekends at home.

I'm not inclined myself to do that past two weeks for those who don't respond - but we can figure that out next week.

I'm not done working for the week, but here goes anyway---

Pittsburgh
Indianapolis
Green Bay
Carolina
St. Louis
Cincinnati
New Orleans
Jacksonville
Dallas
Detroit
Seattle
Chicago
Baltimore
Denver
San Diego

Philadelphia (41)

Hopefully, the Mrs. will get her picks up soon.

This was incorrect. Cyclo and George differ on the Philly - Washington game. Ragman and fbaezer do have the same picks throughout and differ only on the tiebreaker.

thanks for letting us know. Wow, it was uncanny.

Just curious, but is this just interesting to know facts or does it help us in any way? As for example, fbaezer and I aren't that close in points, I don't think.

It's just chatter, Ragman. If the two of you do well this week, you may be going head-to-head on Monday night for this week's win. What's uncanny is the similarities of most of the picks. There are a number of games where there is only one lone wolf and a number of match-ups where two or more people differ only by a single game. The same is true for the ESPN 'Experts'. Most of the games are consensus picks with an occasional outlier. The one exception is the Minnesota-Detroit game Experts.

Compare our breakouts with 19 players reporting -- we have a bit more noise around the consensus picks, but there are many players with the same 12 picks and then all differ from each other by only one game. The other point of interest is the popularity of the use of 35 as the tie-breaker. Five of the 18 tiebreakers posted are 35, three others picked 41 (YO, RP -- I need your tie-breaker!). Given the number of players with the potential of being tied this week and the number of players with the same tie-breakers, we could end up in a many-way tie.

Buffalo (1) at Pittsburgh (18) - jespah
Houston (3) at Carolina (16)
Atlanta (4) at Jacksonville (15)
New Orleans (16) at Tampa Bay (3)
Green Bay (14) at NY Giants (5)
San Francisco (12) at St. Louis (7)
Cincinnati (16) at Cleveland (3)
Indianapolis (16) at Tennessee (3)
Minnesota (9) at Detroit (10)
Dallas (15) at Miami (4)
Seattle (18) at Arizona (1) - jespah
NY Jets (1) at Baltimore (18) - LTX
Oakland (1) at Denver (18) - ci
Kansas City (0) at Chicago (19) This could be the upset of the year!
San Diego (6) at New England (13)

Washington (12) at Philadelphia (7)

It was almost the same, but I'm still ticked off at Philly for last week.

JPB went easy on cyclo-george and ragman-fbaezer. If this sort of thing happens again, there should be penalties.

call Roger Goodell :wink:

It's not my fault that George is so damn smart...

Cycloptichorn

They're just using the same resource for their picks. I'm more independent - and bound to choose more losers, because sentiment is somewhat more important. LOL
