The A2k NFL "Pick-Um" Game Is Back!

Oho, good for the Colts.. I think, there's still 35 seconds.

And Indy wins over Green Bay! We all got that game wrong - except Miz Cowdoc.
Through the 7 games played thus far, Mysteryman is 5-2. A bunch of folks are 4-3. JBLosman, McGentrix and George are at 2-5.

Mercy time is running out and a recovered fumble for Pats...3.5 mins and leading by 31-21 but it was 31-7 a short while ago and Manning is red-hot..

This is a prediction game and not a description of the past.

Mysteryman keeps on trucking. 10-2 so far. But he has to check his rear view mirrors. Wandeljw, JPB, Region and Cowdoc (all at 9-3) have New Orleans tonight while MM has San Diego.

New Orleans defeated San Diego. 5-way tie for first?

Yes, indeed. A five-way tie with the Houston @ NY Jets still to come.
Mysteryman, Wandeljw, JPB, Region and Cowdoc are at 10-3 and all have the Texans tonight.
And wait. There's more. Jespah and Miz Cowdoc are 9-4 and are picking the Jets. If they are right we would have a seven-way tie.
A few other players are 9-4 but are choosing Houston so they are not in contention.

And you have caned the bookie's arses again. The Bears and the 49ers did it for you. And the Vikes.

I haven't quite finished my arithmetic yet but enough to see $$$$$$$$s everywhere. What you call mathematics because it sounds more intellectual.

Sums some of us call it. Only the cream do mathematics here. Brains types. A bit far out most of them.

Only 4 underdogs won and the Jets are UD tonight. Getting 9 start.

Correct me if I'm offbase but I have counted myself to be at 10-3 also. I've picked the Texans tonight. My wrong choices are AZ, Cinci, and GB.

Do you have something different?

{edit: I caught my stupid error. I made a switch of choices but I never submitted the change. I am in error. I am 9-4 with Houston as my pick. }

I have you down as also choosing Carolina, Ragman. Did I record that incorrectly? I'd be happy to go back and check if y0u think I'm wrong.

edited. I agree.

No problem. With 280 to 320 picks each week (5400 over the season), I expect to make mistakes. I have no issue with players pointing out possible errors.
I'll be asleep long before the Houston-NY Jets game is over and tomorrow is supposed to be full of meetings with hoteliers, builders, architects. I may not get home until late.
Week #5 will end in a 5 way tie if Houston wins and a 7 way tie if NY wins.
The 1st tiebreaker is the player who is closest to the total number of points scored tonight.
Mysteryman (28-10 = 38)
Cowdoc (41)
JPB (42)
Region (47)
Wandeljw (54)
and if Jets win, we have to add
Jespah (24)
Miz Cowdoc (57).

Take Region (please!). The mid-point between him and JPB is 44.5 and between him and Wandeljw is 50.5. So Region "controls" the area with a combined score between 45 and 50.
Amazingly enough, this happens to work for all possible scores this week unless the outcome is a Jets win with the total points scored being exactly 31.
Mysteryman and Jespah would still be in a tie and we would go to the second one on my list.
Kind of interesting, huh?

That's really good to hear re your meetings, Johnboy.

It is very exciting Johnnie I must admit.

Money, money, money eh?

No. You are wrong about that, spendius, but you probably don't believe me and this is not the appropriate forum for discussing it.
It's all about having a vision for urban development and of controlling a couple of properties that might advance that vision.

You raised the matter old chap. osso approved.

I can't imagine an American businessman spending a busy day in meetings if money is not the objective. Possibly not directly.

I have been in quite a lot of similar meetings and money was the sole objective. I thought ideological enthusiasm was frowned upon in the US.
