Week 9 Summary and guesses.
wpony, 68, 2 points (guess: Packers)
pbmax, 60, 1 pt (Packers)
madscientist, 57, 1 (Packers)
VegasPackFan, 56, 12 pts (Lions)
esoxx, 55, 8pts (Lions)
woodbuck, 53, 5 pts (Lions*)
ThunderDan, 48, 4 pts (Packers)
Mission to Mars, 47, 5 pts, (Lions)
superfan, 39, 6pts (Lions)
tex, 28, 11 pts (Packers**)
lewcwa, 22, 12 pts (Lions)
I think the cutoff for homers is about 4.5 confidence points in a game at home versus what might be a talent even squad with an edge at QB for about the second time in 2 1/2 decades.
So I bet wpony, myself (how well can I conceal a lie to myself?), and Madscientist went homer with a Packers win pick.
tex put 11 on his pick and that screams Packers because this is tex. He put 10 on his second favorite team to beat KC making him one of two to get that right.
lewcwa has been struggling. I bet he put 12 on Lions to get a leg up on the homers. But he could just have said ***k it, if I am not going to win let's root for the right squad.
VegasPackFan has been doing well but has put 12 on a game with spread of Lions -2.5. I think its the Lions here, but kudos to him if he went homer.
superfan and woodbuck have me flummoxed as they are close to the cutoff and I might expect either to go homer. But the values are high enough I think they are going to the favorites.
