well crap...we've been trying to sign in forever...maybe tomorrow...

[Rguess21]

Congrats to the first week leaders with 10 games picked against the spread, Freak & E3.

And once again, it's not to late to join in. It wouldn't be too hard to catch up to the guy in last place who only managed to pick 5 right which placed him in the 3.9 percentile. Ya, it's me again :OOPS: tough week :laugh:

[Freak]

I haven't checked the results because of the damn firewall, but the wife did say I was ahead of her, woohoo!

[Princess PeiPei]

97.4 % :)

Uh, you'll find me a little further down the list. I couldn't pick my nose on the pro picks. I wasted all the good picks on the college games. :laugh:

[Rguess21]

:OOPS: Well it looks like ESPN had one game marked wrong (shot my percentage way, way up there) regarding the spread, so sorry Freak now it's just Pei-Pei in the lead.

Sorry Pei-Pei for earlier referring to you as E3:OOPS:, but what can I say. Other than it looks like I can't pick the players any better than I can the games. :hehe:

:laugh:

[Sideout]

I'd like to take this opportunity to say a few things that possibly I've never been able to say before...and maybe never again...

The Lions are undefeated!

The Lions have a perfect season going.

The Lions have not lost all season.

The Lions are over 500.

The Lions are at the top of the standings.

OK...now I'm ready for week 2 ;)

[Eagle3]

Hey, I'd love nothing more than for them to kick the Packer's ass Sunday. I gauge the Lion's season by how they play against the Packers. If they beat the Packers then it's a good season. :)

Hi Laurie http://bushwhacked.net/forum/images/smilies/hang.gif

[NinerFan]

Last week you may get your Detroit wish. I on the other hand am glad that Mooch left SF and gave us Erickson....49 to 7 is my kind of game. Thank heavens for Directv!:)

Ditto! Your team will be visiting my team November 23rd. I'm so damn excited about it, I can't even contain myself. When those two teams get together, it's always nail-biting. :)

[Freak]

I just checked my picks...

71 freakin' points for the Giants in the tie breaker?!?!? Geesh. talk about a typo.:rolleyes:

And the Giants really fucked up that game last night. There was only 11 seconds left after they bought that field goal. :idiot:

[Rguess21]

Congrats to Dave for leading the way in week 2 with 10 correct picks ATS.:thumbsup:

And to Pei-Pei, Dave, & Freak tied at 18 for the season lead.:D

[NinerFan]

again this year...then I could see them for a second time this season (Saw a pre-season game in SF on vacation :D

[Rguess21]

Congrats to NinerFan( I think) with 10 picks ATS in week 3. :thumbsup: Also to our overall leaders Dave & Princess Pei Pei with 26. :)

[shotglass]

Also, congrats to Sideout, who will pass JDub next week if JDub doesn't get his act together. ;) :hehe:

[Sideout]

I'm still trying to figure out how I had 9 right answers before last nights game....which is what I have for a total :shrug:

[NinerFan]

Thanks RGuess21....ten's a little better than I did on my football pool from work!LOL

[shotglass]

Looks like P3 is in the lead all by her lonesome after the weekend. Good job :thumbs:

A girl is beating us, guys. :cry: :hehe:

[Rguess21]

Congrats to Shotglass & Freak with 10 correct picks ATS this week, as well as to P3 who's still leading the pack, er group.

[gopsdragon]

Dammit you guys did it again. What's with the spread BS? I registered and filled everything out only to realized I wasn't registered in the group. Now that I have joined the group all my non-spread picks are spread picks. :idiot:

[shotglass]

RGuess set it up. Blame him. :mad:

:hehe:

[Rguess21]

Gops, I'd price it about $1.40 (7-5) that ya end up betting, :OOPS: er beating me by seasons end anyway. ;)

Hopefully my luck won't run out this weekend! :hehe:

[Freak]

Well, what a great game between the Chiefs and Broncos! We went to KC this weekend for NASCAR qualifying and practice on friday, then the game on sunday. Well, we had the opportunity to have tickets for the Busch series race on saturday, then the Winston Cup on sunday. Primo seats. About 11 rows up about 10 yards from the start/finish line. But, being the HUGE Chiefs fan I am, and Huge Bronco fan my wife is, we did what any fan would do. We sold the footbal tix and went to the races! It was Awesome! Our favorite driver won! Well, that's ok, we'll go see the Chiefs stomp on the Raiders soon!

OK, Back on topic....f*** the spread:nolike:

Yea, I missed this game cause of the spread. I would have only missed three games yesterday if not for the spread -and one of those was my upset special.:mad:

[Princess PeiPei]

Ouch! What a painful week. :o

What happened to Oakland, Carolina and Pittsburg? :(

[Dave]

It was painful for all of us Princess, definately some crazy scores this week....all of a sudden, the Browns realized they are a football team.

[Princess PeiPei]

What happened to the Bucks last night? :mad: I went to sleep thinking I had it in the bag and wake up to find out that Indy came back and won in OT. :(

[Sideout]

Congrats to this weeks champ Sideout, and to the overall leader P3, of course. ;)

[Princess PeiPei]

[Rguess21]

Congrats again to PP for winning the week & extending her season lead over the pack.:thumbsup:

BTW, why couldn't I have maintained that average in high school and college? :confused:

[Sideout]

Wow PP, being above the 96th percentile is great considering the number of people that play this game :thumbsup:
What does it say your rank is?

[Princess PeiPei]

It is 3106, but I don't see how many are playing.

[Sideout]

Well...I'm 63620...and at 26.6%, that means theres over a quarter of the people still higher than me...so you're 3106 out of over 86,000 people...not bad...not bad :)

[Princess PeiPei]

Hey Laurie, Maybe by the time our kids are old enough they will let women in the NFL. Kelsea is already pretty good at kicking. :scary:

I guess I better rely on my 401K as a back-up.:laugh:

It never hurts to have that back-up. Especially when it comes to retirement. God knows, we won't see our social security. :nolike:

But that's a whole different discussion in and of itself.

You want to know a scary thing. When I went to Vegas in 84, I got a royal flush on the quarter slots and nothing happened. I didn't know that you had to wait for them to come pay you. :cry: Oh well, I wasn't old enough to be gambling then anyway.

[Eagle3]

See.... what did I tell you guys??? :rolleyes:

I don’t know Dave; I think that would jinx me. The hubby always laughs because I don’t even look at who’s playing until late Saturday night, and then I only spend about 2 minutes submitting my picks. I always say think long, think wrong. :rolleyes:

[Princess PeiPei]

Yeah, that is one heck of a curve. Too bad they didn’t grade like that in college! ;)

Totally off topic...but anyone catch Flutie on Jay Leno awhile back? I guess Jay is always ribbing him...so he pulls out a box of Flutie Flakes and asks Jay if he'll have some with him and he says sure...Flutie jumps out of the way while about a ton of the cereal falls from above and burries Leno...From Jay's reaction, I don't think he knew...it was perfect :laugh:

[Dave]

Ummmmm..Princess......could you ummmmm....do your picks in the ummmmm the Espn pickem thingy so I can ummmmmm.....submit my office pool :OOPS:

LOL. I never do them until late Saturday night, and then I spend about 20 seconds deciding. If I do it before then I might jinx myself. :rolleyes:

[Princess PeiPei]

Hey, does anyone know what the status of Bret Farve is? Every single week Green Bay screws me. When I pick them to win, they can’t hold on the F@$#ing ball. I usually don’t kept track of who’s playing, but after last Monday I may have to start. They should have pulled him. It just amazes me the way people worship him. :confused:

[Dave]

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that the rain on Monday night could have caused Brett Favre's poor play because he had his fractured thumb taped up. He had three balls slip out of his hand for critical turnovers. "We're all questioning if maybe the tape job and the slickness of it after the rain and the wet contributed to that," said head coach Mike Sherman.

[Princess PeiPei]

Thanks Dave. That is probably why the bucks are favored when they've been having a tough season. :what:

[shotglass]

JDub, I hope you haven't been betting real money on your picks...that's rough.

[JDub]

Yeah, I've successfully avoided the urge to throw my money away thusfar. ;)

[Rguess21]

In keeping with our new found tradition, we have another week with a female leading the way.:laugh: :laugh: Let's hear it for this weeks leader, Cherry Red, aka Mrs. Freak. :worthy: Congrats, and don't let Freak go a day without singing your praise. :thumbsup:

And of course, congrats to PPP for maintaining the season lead. :cool: Here again, remind the Eagle daily.;)

Sing praise? F*** that...she told me thatshe had 9 this week and That I only had six. I quickly responded with "I have more than you on the year, so shut up." Of course, I haven't gotten any luvin' since then...:rolleyes: :sure:

[Freak]

WTF is up with the 10 and 11 point spreads for the Denver and KC games? In the cold weather and possible snow, I don't think so.:confused:

Well, speaking of cold, We are on our way down to Arrowhead. Look for us above the hole where the Raiders come onto the field. we are at the rail on the narrow second level.

[Princess PeiPei]

Good job Rguess. If the Bucks win tonight you will have your high week of the season! :)

The Minnesota - Detroit game have me heartburn the last few minutes! :scary:

[Rguess21]

Don't forget to get your picks in early this week since there are two games Thursday. :)

[Rguess21]

Congrats to Shotty & E3 for leading the way this week. And a special kudo to E3 for beating PPP for only the 2nd time this season. ;)

[Princess PeiPei]

I think E3 switched picks with me when I wasn't looking. :rolleyes: :hehe:

[Rguess21]

I knew something was up. ;) Way to go E3:D

[Eagle3]

Whatever it takes.... :hehe:

[Princess PeiPei]

[Viper]

Being a Packer fan I'm disappointed in the Chiefs today to say the least...... :what:

[BlackStatic]

You and me both, Viper...!

[Dave]

Not that it really matters because I am so far out of it, but I couldn't make my picks last week, everytime I hit the submit button it would knock me off the site, and I am still having the same problem.

[Rguess21]

Damn Dave, if your picks were that bad did you try picking the other side? ;) I haven't had that happen, but I have forgot to pick one game & had to re-enter all my selections.

Congrats to Shotty & Sideout with 10 correct last week, followed closely by Cherry Red skipping the 3 games Saturday and still coming in with 9.

Speaking of which there are 3 games this Saturday.

Funny thing is, she told me on Friday that she was going to pick Atlanta, Minnesota, and New England. I laughed and told her she would get one right (NE).:what:

[Rguess21]

Going into the final day, it's anybody's game. What a horserace.:cool: My money's on the Princess:thumbsup: with Shotty to place.:Pimp:
