I am missing the balance of Week #11's picks only from Maporsche and Panzade. I hope I can get them this evening but tomorrow morning would be okay.
Week #12 (Nov 26-30) has Thanksgiving Thursday in the U.S. Millions of us, whether we like it or not, will be traveling to be guests or will be hosting travelers. A pretty chaotic week.
There are 3 NFL games scheduled for Thursday.
The Week #12 schedule will be up in a bit.
I am sorry about stepping on Week #11's toes with Week #12.

Week #12 games:
Thursday, Nov 26th:
Green Bay @ Detroit
Oakland @ Dallas
NY Giants @ Denver
Sunday, Nov 29th, "Early" games:
Tampa Bay @ Atlanta
Miami @ Buffalo
Cleveland @ Cincinnati
Carolina @ NY Jets
Seattle @ St Louis
Washington @ Phil
Indianapolis @ Houston
"Late" games:
Kansas City @ San Diego
Jacksonville @ San Francisco
Chicago @ Minnesota
Arizona @ Tennessee
Sunday night:
Pittsburgh @ Baltimore
Monday, November 30th:
New England @ New Orleans (plus final score)

16 games + 1 final score.
Here are your options: Pick the 3 Thursday games and come back by kickoff of the 1st game on Sunday with the rest of your choices;
OR pick all the way through in one fell swoop (or one swell foop) knowing that you can come back on Sunday and CHANGE picks as long as that is done by the kickoff of the 1st game.

@realjohnboy,
You're welcome.
As usual I've no confidence in which teams will win those three games. I'm going to wait until this weeks games pan out..

@maporsche,
Here's a friendly suggestion, FWIW:
Your format could be a tad confusing insofar as you have the words about which team you favor to win differing from the team you have in upper case. However, many people use uppercase to indicate their prediction of the winners. If your usage upper case letters is meant to indicate home field teams, then you might want to indicate as such.

Of course, I'm all for individuality of those that marh to the beat of a different drum.

Good morning. I am writing from my shop today where we have WIFI rather than the A2K studio. I managed to spill some homemade potato soup on that thingamagig - that black box with the blinking lights. It seems to have shorted out.
This week, Week #11, is in our minds an easy one. There are no games that get rated as toss-ups. We are unanimous* in our picks of Dallas over Washington, Pittsburgh over Kansas City, Minnesota vs Seattle, New Orleans against Tampa Bay and Cincinnati over Oakland.
* Unanimous except for lmur, who picks differently from the majority on a stunning 10 out of the 16 games.
Fbaezer alone has St Louis topping Arizona.

Johnboy and Mysteryman correctly picked Miami. Johnboy agrees with the majority on all the rest of the games while Mysteryman on just one game. Liontamers got the Miami game wrong but, like Johnboy, is with the majority on the rest.

I hope to be able to report in later from home.

@Ragman,
Not trying to be an individual. I have a pick'em league on another website that send me an email when I make my picks in that league. I simply copy/paste from that email to A2K.

The caps do represent home teams.

I usually put my pick in bold on this site; I simply forgot to do that this time.

But if it's too confusing, I have no problem changing either. This method is simplest for me (which is why I use it) but if it causes others problems I can adjust.
