Sports: 2008 NFL weekly pool

[Soulstation1]

My picks have sucked this year

I hope I can make it out of the basement

[vajerzy]

I missed picking the Thursday game so I picked CIN to reflect that- the rest of my picks are in.

[Aggie87]

Jeez, I picked a bad week to have a bad week.

Too many reaches. I guess I'll get more conservative again, though I don't think I'll be able to catch up regardless.

[Noj]

I think only Van B has a chance at this point. There aren't enough games left in the season for anyone else to make up that much ground.

I think only Van B has a chance at this point. There aren't enough games left in the season for anyone else to make up that much ground.

Not sure that I agree. I can really bomb out one weekend, and lose my lead in a flash. I think several people are still in the running, but we'll see once I post the updated totals after tonight's game.

[vajerzy]

Conn can be caught- we have to pick REAL well these next 4 weeks or so.

And hope he screws up a few times.

Let's get him drinking on Live Chat the next time he wants to make his picks!

[vajerzy]

As the Administrator, I can fix it that he loses....he may do an O-fer one week.....

Kidding of course!!

I forgot to make my picks. I'll take Detroit for the first one, Dallas for the second and Arizona for the third.

How do I keep track of that? Does the site do it automatically?

Shame you missed your picks. We are so used to gross mismatches on T-giving that the picks are virtual gimmes. The 8:30 game will be a tough call though.

[connoisseur series500]

Have to see what Vajerzy says, but it looks like Nojjy will end up one less than the lowest placed person this week. This is according to the CBS site.

[Noj]

The Sunday games aren't locked yet, Conn.

Vajjy was the week's winner, and he picked up a game on me in the year to date standings. Spread between first and second place was widened by one game. Still anybody's game before the season ends.

If I picked my Eagles to win- it would have been 2 games!! I was stunned by the Eagles' win- I thought AZ would roll all over them.

What's cool is that everyone has won a week at least once- nice parity!

[Van Basten II]

Trying to make my picks it is not allowing them , i'll take SD for tonight.

[vajerzy]

I made the pick for you since you sent the email before the game started. As administrator, I can do this.

Conn- are you and everyone else ok with this?

I assume everyone's honest.

Race is still up in the air. I made a couple of dumb picks for the week. I meant to select NO, but somehow discovered I had selected ATL instead. That cost me a game. I'm sure others make such mistakes as well. I can still screw up, guys; plus Van B and Vajjy are pouring on the pressure!

[connoisseur series500]

Conn- are you and everyone else ok with this?

I assume everyone's honest.

Yes, I would have done the same thing.

Van B is from Canada and their sports pages are probably full of curling news and such. He might not be aware of Thursday NFL!

[Van Basten II]

Already made my picks, did not take any chance. Thursday NFL is kind of new isn't it ? When i used to follow the game more extensively, the only NFL thursday was Thanksgiving.

Yeah, it's kind of new. Lots of Thursday games now.

You can always go back and change them if it's at least 1 hr before games begin.

I make mine right away then revisit if needed....sometime I can't but at least the picks are in.

[vajerzy]

Didn't see this one....

If you miss the Thursday games- you get losses for them, but you can still make picks for the Sunday games, provided you do it at least 1 hr before kickoff. If you miss the entire week- don't get any picks in- you'll end up one less than the lowest total for the week. Noj didn't make picks for the 7th week (marked by a "+") and the lowest score was 8 so he was credited for 7 wins.

[Van Basten II]

Guess who's now the leader

[connoisseur series500]

Ok, Ok, I'll get to it. Been busy with finals week at school.
