Tampa Bay, why you destroy trend of beating the saints at home? I was hoping I was wrong on the NE NYJ game, but meh. I think I picked 3 wrong, so its all good.



Estelle and Adol... best characters ever! XD

Steelers for the win!

This leaves insomniac17 and zuvuyeay as the only two flawless people so far, amp316 drops to 11-1. ljigga, noname2200 and I should also all be 11-1 (maybe there's another guy, still couldn't check the spreadsheet), so if the Bears win, there will be someone who only got one pick wrong and still didn't finish in the top 5 this week.

PS: This guy won't be me, because I can ban people at will.


I'm sure that somehow you'll rig it so I come in sixth and get no PP points despite only having one loss.

I think you predicted the biggest blowout out of the people who are 11-1 so far, so you really need to trust in your team. If they only win by two scores or less, you won't be in the top 5 this week.


How does the score thing actually work?  I thought that it went by the amount of total points.  Maybe I should read the OP...

Edit:  I see, It's point differential.

Indeed, it's points differential. Last year I was using points totals, but the margin of victory is a more accurate tie breaker. Predicting whether it will be a close game, a blowout or something inbetween makes more sense than how many points will be scored by both teams combined.


I bet you changed it last night because you know that I never read all of those tie breakers.  :p  Actually, it does make more sense that way.  

I'm just happy that I'll probably go up a couple of places in the overall.

Nice job there Zuvu we always knew you were the master coin flipper.

I am going to laugh if Detroit is the upset of the week. It is not smart to pick them as even if they lose for the most part the standings stay the same and your mighty coin must know this.

wouldn't be a surprise if detroit win,should be a good watch,i have it rerun on the iplayer when i fall asleep,

i think jacksonville v oakland was the only one i flipped this week i look up the so called experts and see what the majority is here and hope i get lucky,i did want tampa,seattle,cleveland,cincinatti but the majority came through for a change,there were some close games this week though by the looks of it

we all have to get lucky one week right

Most of us did actually. Was quite the week for predictions. If I was not so biased against Oakland I probably would not have picked against them. The thing is that they still barely won. Off a Janakowsi field goal of course. Are you going to make a rival playoff league this year for awesome drama?!?

Sweet mother of awesome. GO BEARS!!!!

PW so far:
zuvuyeay (CHI by 8)
insomniac (CHI by 14)

One loss:
archane_chaos (CHI by 5)
noname (CHI by 14)
rolstoppable (CHI by 14)
ljigga (CHI by 17)
amp316 (CHI by 24)
superchunk (CHI by 25)

There is no one with two losses and who picked Detroit to win (hint chocoloco). So a Detroit win won't help anyone move up to top five with two losses already. Top five will be out of those listed above, pending no changes.

Chicago needs to whoop that ass!!! 25+pts win!!!
