The A2k NFL "Pick-um" game is back for 2016/17

Home team whoever it is. I'll be back with the rest later.

Arizona
Minn
Balt.
Miami
Pitts
Indy
New Eng
Philly
Denver
Los Angeles
Oakland
Dallas
Green Bay
Carolina 27-21

12 votes for Arizona; 7 for San Francisco.

I see it as a tossup.

I see it's a debacle.

Which brings up that I didn't know how to pronounce debacle for years and still find it a weird word for that reason. Anyway, besides looking up weather in Florida often, I'm reading tweets on the game and the whole lot of tweeting posters are disgusted, and it's only half time.

I changed the channel when it was a dull 7-7 tie.

I shut it off when Arizona galloped ahead, too painfully awful. I don't get Chip Kelly not putting in Kaepernick.

The rest of my game picks are as follows:

Thur night
AZ (Already selected)

Sunday games, early

The best ESPN guy would be in a tie with #3 EhBeth after four weeks.
The worst expert is in a tie with #18 Tico.

Cam Newton - out with concussion.

I figure they'll still be better, or so I hope. I worry re him and his not minding being hit, as he said in at least one interview in the past.

Week #5 Pick Recap:
The 19 players here combined for a total of 266 picks. The consensus index this week is 83 which is a small bit higher than previous weeks.
There are four games in which we are unanimous. That is a high for the season. There are no games that I would consider to be tossups; there are two games where the split is 12-7.
Cowdoc and Ragman agree with the majority on every game. There are three players who are in step on all but one match.
McGentrix disagrees with the majority on five games. Four players are off on four.

Well that was close!
I flubbed on Thursday, but this afternoon things were going well, if close for a couple of games. It looked like I'd get all the sunday afternoon six. It was a matter of two minutes or less, and both previously losing teams turned around to apparent wins. Then the ruling re what is a catch..

I can breathe again.. I'm happy enough, good shows by the four of those teams.
Meantime, I'm especially pleased for Andrew Luck. Oh, and Tennessee.

Here's my tally before MNF. Let me know if your total difers.

McGentrix is picking Carolina. Rhys and Tico think Tampa Bay. Both of the latter two see the total points scored as being 51.

Tampa Bay wins the game. Rhys wins the week. I go to bed.

Not ticomaya?

... Tico wins the week ...

I misinterpreted the 2nd tiebreaking rule...which is somewhat unsettling to me since I wrote the rules a number of years ago.
