Signed up and ready for some upsets!

Avestan · Post by **Avestan** » September 6, 2003, 5:14 pm

man you shoulda done it with point spreads included. That is much harder.

Zamtuk · Post by **Zamtuk** » September 6, 2003, 5:26 pm

i made it exactly like college. I was weighing my options on the spread, but figured it would be hard for some people.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » September 6, 2003, 11:54 pm

Never did this before so it should be fun in any regards. Should we pony up some VV's for the over all winner? I'll add 50k VV to the pot.

Zamtuk · Post by **Zamtuk** » September 7, 2003, 12:12 am

of course

I will switch to point spread next week. That way it wont throw off the people who have already picked for this week.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » September 10, 2003, 12:23 am

Oofta only 8 points. I am a sucker for underdogs.

Zamtuk · Post by **Zamtuk** » September 10, 2003, 12:32 am

I am in fourth across the board. NCAA Pickem, NFL Pickem, Fantasy Football.

Shanter · Post by **Shanter** » September 10, 2003, 12:44 am

I did OK in week 1, woulda had another point if I had joined before Thursday's game. I'm glad I'm better at this than the college one, dead last there.

Don't sweat it. Most of us joined after the Thursday game. I am a sucker for upsets and naive enough to think that maybe, just maybe it is the Bengals year to shine. Not that I am a big Bengals fan but I like the look.

Zamtuk · Post by **Zamtuk** » September 14, 2003, 4:14 pm

Fuck this week. I will be lucky to get 5.

Homercles · Post by **Homercles** » September 15, 2003, 2:56 pm

Its a shame I missed the first week.

Chidoro · Post by **Chidoro** » September 16, 2003, 8:06 am

Ditto, but what can you do. Still only got 8 this week, not as if that's a winner anyway

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » September 17, 2003, 7:53 pm

I am determined to continue picking the Bengals to win! Also, any team against the Vikings cause I really hate those Vikings.

Post by **Xouqoa** » October 6, 2003, 11:43 am

There any way you can drop the first couple of weeks? I missed them and they are killing my score/average. =(

Soreali · Post by **Soreali** » October 6, 2003, 1:35 pm

ditto.. not to mention this week sucked.

Homercles · Post by **Homercles** » October 7, 2003, 6:48 pm

Just drop the first week. I missed that one too. And if you dropped it, I'd be in first place

Ive had double digit wins in each week Ive entered so far.

Kelshara · Post by **Kelshara** » October 7, 2003, 6:59 pm

Pft you snooze you loose.

I win!

Homercles · Post by **Homercles** » October 20, 2003, 5:18 pm

My streak of double digit wins has come to an abrubt end. This week was brutal. Brutal to everyone it looks like

Kelshara · Post by **Kelshara** » October 20, 2003, 6:00 pm

No.. kidding..

Soreali · Post by **Soreali** » October 20, 2003, 6:24 pm

I did horrible this week..

Post by **Xouqoa** » October 20, 2003, 6:32 pm

yeah, lots of upsets in the NFL and NCAA both

Zamtuk · Post by **Zamtuk** » October 21, 2003, 3:05 am

You know its bad when you get 8 and end up doing second place.

Homercles · Post by **Homercles** » October 27, 2003, 4:00 pm

Damn you Kelshara!

You are the only one I havent been able to make up that first missing week against.

I will overcome!

Kelshara · Post by **Kelshara** » October 27, 2003, 5:54 pm

hehe we got burned on the same games except for the Eagles game.. gogo my belief in McNabb!

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » November 17, 2003, 12:25 pm

Bah I finally have a really good week (by my standards) and thought I might gain some ground because I figured I was the only one to pick the Bengals but I end up losing ground. Mutter.

Chidoro · Post by **Chidoro** » December 3, 2003, 10:32 pm

I'm surprised, Bubba, you strike me as the kind of guy who'd have taken Detroit on turkey day knowing how competitive they are that day.

Noone picked Miami and Jacksonville is playing killer ball of late. Should be an awesome weekend coming up.

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » December 8, 2003, 11:06 pm

I have been playing in a survivor football league for fun with a bunch of guys. You only get to pick a team once. For fun I decided I would go the most bizarre upset picks each week to see how I would do. It started with Bengals beating the Chiefs, then Bears to beat Broncos in Denver, then Jaguars to be the Buccs, and I am still alive with my pick of the Falcons over the Panthers. Now that is some crazy shit.

I thought I would take this luck to the game under this thread and I sucked mightily.

Kelshara · Post by **Kelshara** » December 9, 2003, 1:08 am

Man I hate this shit.. I changed 3 games late, and changed all 3 to the wrong choice.. I need to stop second guessing myself!

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » December 10, 2003, 8:49 pm

My upset pick for this week is Oakland over Baltimore. I would have gone for a bigger longshot like Bears over Vikings but I already used the Bears.

Chidoro · Post by **Chidoro** » December 15, 2003, 1:08 am

Your intuition was solid. Baltimore was in a must-win situation so I didn't bet against them but I knew I should have shit on the Vikings.

And the Giants, holy christ does my team suck shit

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » December 31, 2003, 4:09 pm

GRATZ to Kelshara for winning.

Post by **Xouqoa** » December 31, 2003, 7:21 pm

I would have won if I hadn't missed the first two weeks!

Bubba Grizz · Post by **Bubba Grizz** » January 1, 2004, 1:25 am

Just for shits I am going to give Kelshara 50k for winning.

Kelshara · Post by **Kelshara** » January 1, 2004, 2:25 pm

Thanks

I am actually surprised I won, I didn't read anything experts said most of the time (and the few times I did follow them I lost heh), went by gut instinct most of the time and followed my heart other times.

Was fun though, enjoyed it

Good showing, guys!

Chidoro · Post by **Chidoro** » January 4, 2004, 6:45 pm

Agreed, good job. you seemed to be on top every week. Solid showing indeed.

I came on the last few weeks but my spotty arrivals hurt. However, it wouldn't have been enough to win anyway because of the solid picks by Kel.
