The Fantasy Fantasy A2K NFL Pick-Um Thread for 2011-2012

I think it is okay if JPB enters this week's competition as long as he picks the Chargers.

It's not so bad Raggie. There were only three picks for the Raiders and I don't think any of them are in contention for my title.

I definitely would have picked the Chargers.

Sorry, rjb --- the Thursday game wasn't even on my radar.

Thurs 11-10:
Oakland @ San Diego
Sun 11-13 early:
Buffalo @ Dallas
Tennessee @ Carolina
Houston @ Tampa Bay
Jacksonville @ Indianapolis
Arizona @ Philadelphia
New Orleans @ Atlanta
St Louis @ Cleveland
Washington @ Miami
Denver @ Kansas City
Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati
late:
Baltimore @ Seattle
Detroit @ Chicago
NY Giants @ San Francisco
Sunday night:
New England @ NY Jets
Monday night:
Minnesota @ Green Bay (21-14)

Done, JPB, with regards to the scoring.

that makes sense, actually.
if someone misses a thursday game, they should get an L for that game...

Don't mess with the man in the mask.
Seriously.
Just don't.

Jaye said she would have picked the Chargers, which is why I gave her a "loss" vs a "no pick." Had she said she would have picked the Raiders, I would have respectfully regarded it as a pick too late.
A "no pick" either for one game or for a week does make calculating the standings more tedious for me in doing the math. I can live with missing a week without a penalty, but one game will now count as an "L."
Thanks.

We are missing LiontamerX's picks for the rest of the weekend.
I will be back later today or in the morning with the analysis of our picks this week.

I posit The Noise will be along soon to argue with you..

If you mean me osso might I remind you that it was me who settled the little difficulty with McG forgetting the Thursday game.

Bring in 'da Noise..bring in 'da Funk! I'm so 1995 today.

Are you calling Osso "funky?"

Sure..

Projections...
This week, with 336 picks, the majority of us agree on 258 (77%). That is down from the mid 80's last week.
We are unanimous in picking Baltimore @ Seattle and only Tico believes AZ will beat Philly. There are 3 games where we split 18-3, in addition to the Thursday game where 18 of us incorrectly picked SD.
I should call the Buff @ Dallas game a tossup (12 of us think the Bills) vs 9 for the Cowboys. Same goes and Detroit (11) against Chicago (10).
Lion agrees with the majority on all but one remaining game followed by Ragman with two. No one is way out of line.
It could be a pivotal week between #1 ranked Johnboy and #2 Ragman who is a mere 3 games behind. They differ on 5 games:
JohnBoy.. Jax...Was...Cin...Det...NYJ
Ragman.... Ind...Mia....Pit...Chi...NE

Ok, ok, I'm switching to Cleveland and the Jets. Of course I'll be sorry sometime later.

Your changes are duly noted, Osso.
Even Rhys, who always picks the Patriots and never a NY team, admitted to me that he is nervous about the NE @ Jets game.
Switching:
I starting moving today. I live in the NW room of my 1000 sq ft house during the summer. It is cooler there. I see my little field below me and another that is going from field to scrub. Beyond that the woods belonging to the County, full of trees which put on an awesome show of color this autumn.
Today I began my move to the SE corner of the house. There is a lot more sun, but the view is much more urban. A five lane road with an office park across the way.
I unplugged my computer, copier, fax machine and shredder and a few other devices. They lie on the floor with all kinds of cords coming out of them. Tomorrow is reassembly day.

Thanks for the update, Henry. Will Ralph be coming over to help?
