NFL Football Contest

I dig the playoff idea. A little head to head competition is always fun (for the winners at least). Will we be using the same rules? 4-plays/week minimum?

I see my decline has already started. I jumped into 3rd and dropped to 6th without hesitation. Next week: Hello 9th place, which will put me in prime position for the playoffs.

New England -5.5
Denver +1.5
Detroit +2.5
St.Louis/Pittsburgh UNDER 46.5
Seattle -1.5
Minnesota -5.5
Tennessee -3.5
Dallas +6.5
New Orleans -1.5
San Fran -6.5
NY Jets +3.5
Houston +13.5
Kansas City -6.5
Miami/San Diego OVER 37.5

Just for the record:

The fact that I pick the menu has little to do with me having a really large, well shaped penis and nothing at all to do with a testosterone fuelled swagger that belies a manly confidence. Ten pound Balls? not the issue here. I pick the whole plate because I have to for my other pools and if I don’t believe that I am right, then why the fuck would I pick 'em there? You can bet that my Pro-Line tickets are not mirror images of these picks though.

The playoff idea is great Tony, this gets better and better…

TGB…So far you are hitting what? 'bout 571?..not bad I suppose for 11 picks but I wonder what you could do if you whipped off that skirt and manned up?

…tick…

…tick…

…tick…

…Ding…

Time for teasing TCB is up.

Just kidding man.

Hey TCB Im not saying you have to bet the board every week. You have to play a minimum of 4 games a week. We’ve been at it for 3 weeks now, that means everyone should be at least 12 plays. Theres a few guys who arent there. Come playoff time if you are under the minimum then you dont make the cut. Not everyone has to cap 14 games a week like Cupcake, but if you dont cap 14 be prepared to have Cupcake question the size of your balls.
Ill make the proper adjustment and add TCB’s score to Tha1000.

Playoffs sound great.

hey cakie,
in the real world, I normally pick 4 games a week, every once in a while i will pick a couple more on my wagering if I am feelin froggy. I have let you goad me into picking more than 4, however your futile questioning of my masculinity will not cause me to pick all of the games. Simply due to the fact that I get creamed when I try to pick every game. Instead of going 4-1 or 3-2, I would probably wind up 5-11 every week, not very impressive.

I think anybody who would actually put money on more than 3 or 4 games a week is an idiot. I may be one of the few people on the forum who gambles on a serious level and I only cap about 3-4 games a week. Ill give more picks on the T-forum, cause its just for fun, but thats why my record is shit. If I was only giving my locks, id be something like 8-2 this year.

For someone who caps every game every week , cupcake does have a pretty good record at 24-18

Lets keep this civil boys, remember, this is gambling among friends, you can expect a little trash talk in the locker room and you can also bet that the skinniest, whitest ass will see the business end of a towel…in this case the fewer picks you make, the whiter your ass gets…

No doubt that the cake is rockin with the picks and I truly enjoy his posts. He is no doubt a funny dude and probably could get a gig writing for ESPN page 2 if he desired. He definately sees things in a unique and humorous light. I am probably most amazed at his ability to find a quote that supports his view regardless of topic.

Google me and you’ll find a few write-in responses that I sent to page 2 (one about A-Rod, the other more serious one about Trot Nixon as a trade candidate):slight_smile:

Heres my picks this week:

Baltimore -1.5
Detroit +2.5
Det/Chi over 37.5
Pit/stl over 46.5
San Fran -6.5
Buffalo +6.5
Miami -3.5

Alright boys, Cupcake, although his name sounds like the nickname of a little girl, really kicked ass this week. Shenry slowly keeps dropping and Eric continues to be consistent. I once again did shit, but at least broke .500. Heres the results:

Cupcake 10-4 (.714)
Eric Cressey 7-4 (.636)
Spartanpower 8-6 (.571)
Tonytriceps 4-3 (.571)
AaronMC48 7-7 (.500)
Phill 7-7 (.500)
Doogie 4-8 (.333)
Shenry 4-10(.286)
TCB 1-4 (.200)

Crap-tacular

Accumulated results after 4 weeks:

Cupcake 34-22 (.607)
Eric Cressey 24-17 (.585)
Phill 31-25 (.554)
TCB 6-5 (.545)
Doogie 26-22 (.542)
JP Dubya 5-5 (.500)
AaronMC48 13-15 (.464)
Spartanpower 13-15 (.464)
Shenry 19-23 (.452)
Tonytriceps 14-18 (.438)
Uniko 18-24 (.429)
Marinersfan 1-3 (.250)

After 4 weeks you should have a minimum of 16 plays. Some of you have catching up to do.

Ill post next weeks spreads on Thursday. Weekly winners after 4 weeks are:

Week 1 - Doogie 8-4
Week 2 - Phill 10-4
Week 3 - TCB 5-1
Week 4 - Cupcake 10-4

I screwed the pooch on that one. Brutal weekend all around the football world for TCB.
