For the record, Kahran PM'd me his picks on Dec 13 2006, 06:13 PM, so put to rest any "copying" that went on with this matchup (I'm not accusing you of thinking that, mind you, because I know you're not; I just wanted to clear this up). This is the second or third time this has happened this season, and I don't know what to do in order to make these contests more competitive. When this contest was a straight-up pick 'em, these 1-2 matchup differences were much greater, hence the switch over to point spreads. You mentioned in a previous thread about adding over/unders, etc., which is a good idea and one I've thought of as well, but 1) it would take away from the spirit of actually picking games, in my opinion, and 2) I don't want everyone to have to pick a variety of other predictions every week that have nothing to do with which teams will win/cover the spread. Like I've said before, any ideas will be considered; that's why whenever I have an idea for this contest I like to put it up to a vote because I'd rather have thirty-three perspectives on the league than just one.

I don't think it's that big a deal. Two or three times a season is nothing compared to the 30-40 times it probably happened without point spreads (at least) . Sometimes people are just going to agree on everything -- there's no much you can do about it.

You're right, and I like to think rather that rather than focusing on the one game two people differed on, more attention should be paid to, in these instances, the 8-12 that they agreed upon that turn out to be incorrectly picked. But there's nothing wrong with looking for ways to improve.

I am the anti-Michael Vick. The two games that were decided already were the two differing picks that I was worried about, but everything's turned to gold so far, so why should it stop?

The listings within each won/loss bracket don't mean anything. I'm not going to try and figure out regular season tie-breakers until the last week or so. I also didn't factor in divisional records into the "Division Leader" games remaining yet.

I'm still alive, but I need help -- starting with the Bengals beating the Colts tomorrow night.

 

Me too. I had a 3-1 lead at one point today, but my match-up this week comes down to Cincy not losing by more than 3.5 tomorrow. Your win over my division leader, however, gives me a little hope.

Only thing updated is won/loss records. Also, because Seattle has used EPs for the fourth time this season, I have replaced C Dubya with Chazz 1998.

A win next week and I clinch the West, a loss and it's pretty much Alf's.

Ok am I 6-8 or 5-9 kkk? You have my record in the standings as 6-8, but I'm 5-9 in the playoff picture. No, I haven't bothered to do up the calculations as I don't wanna spoil the surprise.

 

Its amazing that if I am 6-8, there's an outside chance I could possibly win my division and still make the playoffs.
