In, again to get my butt kicked since I'll forget at least one week to make picks. LOL!
I'm back to defend my crown and to try to become the first 3 time champion.
Picks are in. I have a perfect week prepared.
Count me in..........picks are in...........for now.
Well I started in 2009 and I took 4th place. 2010 I did really bad. 2011 I took second place losing by 1 point. 2012 I did bad.....So every other year I did good so I'm coming for that crown this year. I'm in!!

For those of you that are new to the league this is a Pick'ems league that uses the spread which hasn't been released yet for week 1.

Gotcha


I actually made my picks according to the link/spreads below. The "for now" meant "depending on injuries" before the 1st week. The picks are are adjustable/changable?

Are the spreads posted by CBSSports or a member here?

When during the previous week leading up to gametime will the spreads be posted?

When is the cutoff for changing/updating the spreads for the upcoming game(s). Or are they posted once and if Peyton Manning breaks his leg on Wed......take the Chiefs on Friday.

When can picks be adjusted till? Right before gametime? Etc,?

Tks. Probably too many questions.

http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/?s=257
The spread will be set Wednesday morning IIRC. Might be Tuesday. Once the spreads are set they don't change.

I don't remember where the spreads come from but I do remember it's a betting source, it's not Hooper making up the spreads.

I'm been doing this long enough to know that it doesn't matter for me. Actually, not knowing the spread would probably benefit me. Heck last year I made every pick by flipping a coin and I did better than the year before.
I'm in.
I'd like to do this for the first time, but am not really sure how to sign up? Is there enough room?
nevermind .. I am signed up

I think I'll use that method for the NCAA FB Bowl games this season. Who knows which teams are showing up to play those games.
I went 25-9 ATS in college bowl games last year
The spread is up, start picking. Cutoff is one hour before the first game of the week. Most of the season has Thursday games.
I am back to try to finish 2nd for the 3rd time
As long as I'm above you and not behind you.
Well, I'll give it a shot this year.
All picks must be in one hour before kickoff tonight. Still time to join..
picking is closed for this week. You can now see who everyone picked. Tonight I'm surprised only 13 players took Denver . Morgan & GMdawg the only players to take Oakland over Indy
So only Morgan and I were smart enough to make that pick

yep, Oakland covered

Wow.

Tough week for all with even the leaders maxing out at only 8 corrrect picks.

If this was Vegas even they'd be in the $$$ negative taking the Vig into consideration.

Hmmm............This isn't for real money is it???

Out of the 4 teams that picked 8 correct I had the lowest number (41) and the MNF was 59. I also don't know how I won. Flap had the closest number.

Quote:

FreeAgent 41
Flap 48
GratefulDawg 45
GulfportDawg 46


Adding to the confusion Flap was the only one to choose the game correctly. I see no other variable that could be the decider.

Until this gets sorted out it sounds like choosing the lowest number possible is a safe bet.
I'm sure it was just an honest mistake by Hooper and he meant to say Flap cause the site has Flap as the winner of week 1.

It doesn't really matter. I was just pulling Hoop's chain, that's all. It's just some kind of glitch in the system... or FreeAgent actually sent Hoop the registration fee... hrm

Flap chose SD....Houston won. But that shouldn't matter. Like someone else said, probably just a glitch in the system. It's not like you get an extra point for winning a week so I can settle for losing the tie breaker.
My bad. That's how it was at 4 am this morning. I picked up another win. I now have 4. This morning I only had 3. CBS screwed up somewhere

Week One Winner

Flap

Every year I have one week that I get a 3 or 4 and it derails the whole year.

Do you get the email on Monday or Tuesday reminding you to make your picks? I try to get them in ASAP after I get it...or I leave it in my inbox until I do make them. Otherwise, I would probably forget.
Week Four Winner

Worlds most beautiful people
My coin flip method is getting its teeth kicked in. I have the worst score of people that made picks all four weeks. Heck, there are two people that skipped a week and are still better than me. Man, I stink. Ugh.

Last year I averaged 7.6 wins per week flipping a coin. This year lady luck is only helping me to the tune of 5.5 wins per week. COME ON!

I'm now down to 5.2 wins per week. I think I need a new method.

Congrats to bigdatut
Pick the other side of the coin.
Hey I used the same method for years and it always got me 2nd place or at least in the top ten. Then I tried to tweek it (oh lord what a mistake lol) I Just went back to my own method this year.
I'm winning the Dawgtalkerpickems website version so far.

I'm in 9th on the CBS version. And I will be winning both this season. Hop on the bandwagon early to get a free Kingcob victory t-shirt.
Design Suggestion?
Uhhhhh, guess I shouldn't have gone with my gut and taken the Jets today.
I would have been better off to have forgotten to make my picks this week
yeah, you did as bad as me this week. And I've been terrible all year.
i sucked more than a porn star this week

OK, since I've been so atrocious at this this year, I took my own advice to Punch and picked the opposite of what I thought would happen against the new lines for this upcoming week.
Good luck. Anything that touches me gets ruined.

I actually missed the deadline by 3 mins last week. UGH! No big deal, I only missed out on 4 correct picks anyway.

Well, this week it happened. After two straight weeks of coming in second, this week I won. Great! Except, for the last three weeks I've been picking the opposite of what I thought the outcome would be for every game.

Arch did it back in week 8 on dawgtalkerpickems.com straight up. I don't recall anyone doing it ATS.
Than your 14 wins might be as good as it gets. Congrats.

And Dawg66, as bad as your week might have been, I've been the worst player this year. If anyone can go winless, it's me.

Of course, I have done a bit better the last two weeks. I started picking the games on alphabetical order. First by city name, then reverse alphabetical by city and now by team name. We'll see how far I can take this method.

2nd place, aka the first loser. Congrats, playoffmaker.

Oh hey, also took 2nd in Florida's DawgTalkerPickems. At least I was consistently near the top. Still feels like losing.
In Florida's pick'em game, you beat me by 14 points. I wish I wouldn't have missed 6 weeks.
