Wishing Coach a fast heal after his heart surgery. I <3 me some Fox.

I expect a high scoring game on both sides of the ball for Denver and San Diego.

 

Seems like bears are getting back Jay Cutler while the Packers go the first week without Rodgers. I reall hope the Bears can beat the lions.

 I'm going with the win over SF.  That's my most risky one this week.

I propose a rule addendum: if you pick the Jags and they win, that gets you three points. It'll be like our version of the spread, a bone to throw to those poor Jags fans out there.



Picking the Redskins tonight. Almost forgot, have a big test tomorrow.

Actually, before the season I was pondering if I should implement a hero pick rule. If 10-20% or fewer people picked a game correctly (being the sole person to make a certain pick would be very rare in a group of more than 20 people), they would earn a prediction point. But I left it out, because I expected superchunk to play.

But in all seriousness, if somebody pulls off a hero pick, then they will have already good chances to finish with a top 5 worthy record for the week. So another reward on top of that would be a bit much. Regardless, that's not to say that such a rule won't be implemented in a prediction league in the future.

I don't get why me playing would relate to that rule. Do I often pick odd? BTW, I so wanted to post "more posts" in that PM after smeags lol.



I feel confident in my Redskin pick so far lol.

You are addicted to the spreadsheet. With a hero pick rule, you would look it up about an hour before the Sunday games start and then change your picks accordingly, like the gambler that you are.

I am glad that that PM is finally dead.

EDIT: Good job, Ponder. I could tell that that pass was going to be intercepted right after release.

Close game, I probably would have.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory: the 2013 NFC East in a nutshell. What's worse, they won't even be bad enough to let us have another 7-9 playoff team. It's the worst of all worlds.
