Another subpar week for me, wow Im shit. At least I didnt come in last, thanks Spartanpower. I should have listened to TCB’s triple gold star locks. Heres the results for last week:

TCB 5-1 (.833)
Cupcake 9-5 (.649)
Eric Cressey 7-4 (.646)
Doogie 8-6 (.573)
Phill 8-6 (.573)
Shenry 7-7 (.500)
Uniko 6-8 (.431)
Tonytriceps 3-4 (.431)
Spartanpower 5-9 (.361)

Here is the accumulated results after 3 weeks. Im thinking after week 8 or 9 of this football pool, we are gonna start the playoffs. Im gonna give everyone rankings just like in college football and were gonna square off in individual handicapping matches. Winners go to the superbowl to crown the ultimate champion. Heres the results so far after 3 weeks:

TCB 5-1 (.833)
Doogie 22-14 (.610)
Phill 24-18 (.574)
Cupcake 24-18 (.574)
Eric Cressey 17-13 (.571)
Shenry 15-13 (.546)
JP Dubya 5-5 (.500)
Uniko 18-24 (.433)
AaronMC48 6-8 (.433)
Tonytricep 10-15 (.400)
Tha1000 2-3 (.400)
Spartanpower 5-9 (.369)
Marinersfan 1-3 (.250)

Im gonna have to start enforcing a minimum play rule. Some of you have some catching up to do. Marinersfan, Tha1000, JP Dubya, TCB you have to try to participate on a weekly basis just like the rest of us. Im not gonna put you on the board when someone like Cupcake has handicapped 42 games in 3 weeks and you have only handicapped 4, its not fair and it jacks up your winning percentage.

Heres the spreads for week 4

Cleveland at New England(-5.5)(37.5)
Denver at Baltimore(-1.5) (38.5)
Detroit at Chicago (-2.5) (37.5)
St.Louis at Pittsburgh (-1.5) (46.5)
Seattle(-1.5) at Cincinatti (41.5)
NY Giants at Minnesota(-5.5) (44.5)
Tennessee(-3.5)at Jacksonville(44.5)
Dallas at Tampa Bay (-6.5) (36.5)
Carolina at New Orleans (-1.5)(39.5)
San Fran(-6.5) at Arizona (41.5)
NY Jets at Philadelphia (-3.5)(36.5)
Houston at Indy (-13.5) (43.5)
Buffalo at Kansas City (-6.5) (43.5)
Miami(-3.5) at San Diego (37.5)

Good Luck

Denver (+1.5)
Chicago (-2.5)
Pittsburgh (-1.5)
Seattle(-1.5)
Seattle/Cincinnati Over 41.5
Tennessee(-3.5)
Dallas (+6.5)
Carolina (+1.5)
Philadelphia (-3.5)
Kansas City (-6.5)
Miami(-3.5)

A couple of points to make for TonyT:

TCB = Tha1000 sorry for the confusion.

I pick 4-6 games a week, just like in real life. What you see here is where my $$ will be on Sunday. I go with the games that I feel good about. The others are just guesses, and if you are going to keep score, I do not want my winning percentage diluted by 50/50 guesses. If Cupcake feels confident making 14 picks a week, then so be it. But, I have picked more games than mandated in the original rules.

Now on with the picks:

Dallas +6.5
Minn -5.5
Indy Over
NO -1.5
Dallas Over
