Why wouldn't I??Originally Posted by MadtownPacker
edit: Just looked in on last week. Not bad since I missed game 1. I fekked up though. I actually bet Houston -2.5 and lost by the hook, but I clicked Indy by accident in the contest and lost 5 points.
Fun contest. I'll try and keep up all season.

I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Week 1 - Results
MadScientist takes the leader's Yellow Jersey with a first week total of 102.
Top three this week:
1. MadScientist 102
2. PBGreenday 100
3. texaspackerbacker 97
3. bobblehead 97
texaspackerbacker was the only one who took Minnesota over NYG
Everyone lost picking Cincinnati
Next Week: Picks in for first game (BUF-MIA) at 7:15 Central Time on Thursday
Not sure how that happened. I'll enjoy the week at the top.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
We have new players this week. How does it work for them to win the season?
They need to have several really good weeks to catch up.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
We could bump their score by 1/17th at the end. So if they score for instance 1500 points it would average 93.75 for a final score of 1593. Its for fun so if I have 1592 and its the actual best I'm still claiming victory though!!

HOFer
You snooze you lose. You can earn weekly honor, but full season honors will be difficult to achieve.
If you give new entrants a pass for week one, then you have to do the same for anyone else who misses a week in the guise of fairness. Sometimes, life ain’t fair.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Like I said, no money involved so it really doesn't matter. If someone missed week 1 and comes within 50 I'm recognizing that person as the best on the season though.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
So we can develop a new stat: PICK EFFICIENCY
This is: Number of Points / Number of Picks
A valid pick needs 1) Game winner selected, and 2) Confidence points selected.
A participant will need to have 204 picks (3/4 of the total games) by the end of the season to qualify.
If this is implemented, I will have to ask for the Commissioner's salary to be doubled because this requires MATH.

As the leader in the club house, I should object, but what the heck. BTW, I think your math is already a little bit off. I get 272 total games, 3/4 of that is 204.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Oops.... you are correct, each team plays 17, I was stuck in the past using 16*16. Will edit.
I will do the total points and the new stat too.
Why not eliminate everyone else’s worst week at the end of the season?
Not bad. I see why you're the boss.

I picked the games last week, but forgot to go back and set the confidence points.
A few blanks left last night. Next games on Sunday.
Week three, so it goes...
Picking underdogs that make me feel dirty: Dallas, Chicago
Picking underdogs that make me feel like a hero: Arizona (against Detroit)
The solution to changing the rules mid-stream is for the side of Good to SWAMP 'EM. Let not this be construed as the evil P word hahahaha.

Damnit these Thursday games used to always get me in Fantasy now choking on the picks.
