Shine has a serious stanglehold on this thing now.
Would take a meltdown or miracle finish for it to be taken from him.

Enjoy!

Wow...could be an interesting Week 17. I went 2-1 and Shine with the rare losing week (0-2). He's a few tenths of a percent ahead of me if my math is correct. DF already has a loss and two more games to be played...he'll be no closer than third. Screw had a 2-0 week but is still looking at either 3rd or 4th place.

And for the record, I'll picking 3 games again next week...a warning to you, Mr. Shine. :twisted:

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Picking anything less than 3 games is weaksauce.

[Screw_Michigan]

Picking anything less than 3 games is weaksauce.

Usually I agree with you, but I got antsy with the Jets this weekend and withdrew my pick (ended up paying off).

[poptart]

Shine shit the bed by picking two games.

Should have laid low and let the field try to catch him.
Would have taken a near miracle for someone to do it.

Now it's a dogfight.

Disagree 100%. I could have taken the pussy way out and just done nothing but that's not how I roll. If I see games I like and plan to bet in real life then I'm gonna pick them in this little free contest. If that means I end up losing then so be it.

The week I'm kicking myself about was like week 12 or 13 when I posted an 0-3. I hadn't paid any attention to NFL that week as college hoops was just getting into full swing and had planned on not making any picks. Then I decided I didn't want a blank week and quickly tossed out 3 games. Shocker I took the o-fer with that kind of strategery in play.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

pussy way out

You mean like picking less than three games? It's called Three Best Bets. Not One or Two Best Bets.

Yeah, yeah, save the "strategy" BS...

Nice show of bravado, but it runs 180 to common sense.

The object of THIS contest is not to win money.
It's to end up with the best winning pct.

By sitting out last week you would have forced Shoalzie to go 3-0.
And if he managed to do that, he prolly would have had to go 3-0 again in week 17 to beat you.

Because you chose to be bold (and took an 0-2), it's now nail-bittin' time.
