IN

Yup.

I'm not in like Flynn, that'd be bad, right?

In and ready to loose again

You would not feel like a champion unless you beat a good football prognosticator like myself.

A lot of points on a Green Bay victory in Denver...you stopped watching the Packers play lately?

Congratulations CaliforniaCheez on a bold move MNF Dallas @ Washington. That Dallas win kept you right in the race for this season's Championship.

Have you been a past Champion Californiacheez?

Here are the current standings after Week 13 and the TOP FIVE:

Standings:

Rank ....... Pick Set Name ......... Total Pts ... W-L

1 ... Bert Bosch (woodbuck27) ........994 .... 118-74

2 ... CaliforniaCheez ................... 984 ..... 116-76

A special commendation for 'a former Champion' KYPack who's been doing much better of late. Your no quitter Packer fan. :duel:

I always recommend that those of us that participate in this annual event stay with it. Why......Anthing can happen in the Pro Pickem ... ' we saw heavy favourites the Chicago Bears and the NE Patriots fall in Week 13. Most of us lost two digit Confidence Points bets with these teams failing to fulfill their potential.


Good Luck All as we begin the last quarter of our Season.

and of course:

GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !!

It's got now that I realize the more information you might access the more difficult it may be to get a better result.

I'm a dedicated Packerrat Pro Pickem' participant now for..... about a decade. I've learned that all I really need aside from assigning choices and setting the CP's (ie with a PC or Laptop) is a newspaper and an AM radio to listen to a wide assortment of Sports News Stations ie ESPN and it's brother/sister stations.

I'm now (while at my Country Home) listening to TNF and SNF and loving it whenever Mae and I are away fr. our homes in Ontario and Quebec.

Mae observes that whenever I've full internet access and adding ...... paying close attention to all the ' Talking Heads ' on the NFL Network. I make poorer decisions. Basically I have it down at the beginning of each week simply going on gut instinct and suddenly...... second guess myself which costs me in terms of better results.

I'm always impressed with the good NFL football minds we have @ Packerrats.

My advice every time your in doubt. Go with your gut feeling.

My gut feeling on this just past weeks MNF game; was that the Experts had it wrong to the tune of 4 of 5 picking the Saints over the LIONS. Drew Brees needs weapons. He's still an awesome QB but he misses his former TE. He needs more at receiver and overall his teams 'D' sucks out loud. It's a strong possibility that something BIG will happen in New Orleans this off season. Maybe Denver push's Peyton Manning to the side and goes after Drew Brees?

I told Mae that CaliforniaCheez and esoxx will very likely pick the Detroit Lions with small PC plays. esoxx who's my biggest adversary over the years..... and.....generally 'THE MAN' to beat here Packerrats 'in case ' that fact has gone past you.

I wanted to go with my guts and place with Detroit my 8 CP's. I fell in with all the lesser minds to the slaughter. hahahaa The bigger error wqas:

Why so many CP's for this MNF Matchup between two huge disappointments this season. OK so I'm going to cut myself a break here. There are a lot of factors to mull over and working a weeks Pro Pickem.

Is that the TRUTH? :huh: I can hear this echo in my head.... " Keep it simple ...stupid."

My compliments to CaliforniaCheez and esoxx.

We're ........ it seems all too fast again...now ...down to our final two weeks of the regular season with loads of exciting stuff going on. A solid lineup of challenging to analyze and make picks and assign CP's are before us in Week 16 :-)

GOOD LUCK Packerrats in your Week 16 Pro Pickem experience.

This experience may show you there's really nothing to winning a Pro Pickem' event. Who cannot predict which team will win any matchup ! That's got to be too east ...right. Welll it's like baseball and well....here comes the pitch and you swing and you...........?????? .....and YOU .........#%@(?|^#$ ........... that's right. Sometimes itn justb isn't easy. Therein lies the challenge of the Pro Pickem' and in my experience and this over a decade now it's really something else. I guarantee you'll become a more gifted NFL fan in terms of overall NFL IQ.
