So I'm up $300 on the year in NFL bets, and with pending deals with Wheat, could very easily end the year +$400. So ATTENTION WHEAT. I AM OFFERING YOU $50 TO GET OUT OF YOUR BETS AS OF RIGHT NOW. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.

accepted Jimbo, congrats on winning our wager (what do you take over there?  let me know how I can pay you).  I look forward to getting my $ back in other ways later...

(good thing I went 2-0 last week).  This week's bets so far
NO -3 at Car
whatever NE is when I can bet on it
also considering detroit +3.5 but probably won't do that.

They said on Mike&Mike this morning that NE would be -22.  Against a 5-5 team.

22 point favorites.

Against a .500 team.

Yeah, Philly's missing McNabb and it's in NE, but still, that's crazy.  I can only imagine what the line is going to be in the NYJ@NE game (could it possibly push 30?!?)

Off topic a little, I made a bet with a guy at work today on the Daytona 500.  He's a huge Earnhardt Jr. fan, and is convinced that Lil' E is going to win every race next year or something.  I took the field against Jr and am giving him 10-1 (I pay him $100 if Jr wins, he pays me $10 if anyone else wins).  What a sucker!

Someone remind me to edit that in February if Jr. wins. :hat

I don't know about that Come, a Hendrick car with Jr behind the wheel at statistically his 3rd best track being Daytona and having such a long losing streak....I wouldn't get so cocky! There's probably only 8 or so guys out there that can beat him, frankly I think you got screwed!

Also, wheat, Paypal. QB sends payments to petsitter55@hotmail.com (eBay-linked account, I didn't make up the name!) Thanks for playing! :p

Elite Pickem

Elite Pickem - Week 11

Back to form with a high scoring week from the elite:

1 Kelly Rules - 15
2 QB's Square Picks - 13
sucram - 13
picks of wheat - 13
mikerspd - 13
Neo's Aussie Picks - 13

So there were 16 games this week again and Kelly Rules managed to get 15 of them correct. Only TWO people worldwide got all 16 so this was a damn good job. Some of the heavyweights make up a tie for second place with 13 picks. QB is also there. As is wheat.

Jim vs QB - Jim had some ridic unluck this week which gives him a loss and allows QB to take a 6-4 lead.

Pick breakdown (winner in bold):

Bucs 18 Falcs 6 - Those freakin falcons. Just defy logic totally. Even Boss and Come agreed and backed them too. But no.
Cards 9 Bengals 15 - I find the Bengals very difficult to predict each week
Chiefs 1 Colts 23 - lol at matt8000 almost pulling this one off and winning yet another 1-23 split. Im very annoyed with myself that I didnt have money on the Chiefs +whatever it was here.
Chargers 9 Jax 15 - Seemed a straightforward pick on Jax really
Raiders 7 Vikes 17 - Just no idea what goes through Jons mind when he picks. Always seems to find himeself on the losing side of splits like these. Come also had the Raiders.
Browns 21 Ravens 3 - Brandon and Comet were the two other ravens fans for this one
Pants 0 Pack 24 - No real comment here apart from the fact the pack seem to have a ridic easy schedule.
Saints 13 Texans 11 - After last week I find it quite suprising so many backed the Saints, including Come.
Dolphins 2 Eagles 22 - Yeah yeah whatever. The Dolphins arent going 0-16 so ill keep backing them.
Giants 15 Detroit 9 - zomg Giants beat a side with a winning record
Steelers 24 Jets 0 - Obviously this is the one that stopped Kelly going perfect. Pretty inexplicable loss really. Especially as the Steelers will probably manage to beat the Pats somehow
Redskins 0 Cowboys 24 - zzzzzz
Rams 17 Niners 7 - Jim really should have known better here. Its lazy picks like this that cost him a lot of ground this week
Bears 6 Seabradys 18 - Another upset pick down the drain for Come. He picked waaaay too many this week. And it gets worse....
Pats 23 Bills 1 - Come picked the Bills. True story.
Tits 16 Broncos 8 - You know its a suprise win when Jon goes against the majority and hits.

Elite Pickem - Overall

Now looking like this:

1 QB's Square Picks - 107
The Immortal Ones - 107
3 Din Mor - 106
4 picks of wheat - 105

The key issue overall was that Jim had an atrocious week, blowing his lead and dropping into third place behind QB and AJ.

Elite Pickem - Win Table

Finally someone gets a third win and takes the outright lead. Can anyone stop Kelly? Its not proving easy to accumulate wins!

1 Kelly Rules - 3
2 Esox Magnus - 2
Din Mor - 2
matt8000 ftw - 2
5 PerfectLight - 1
wiff's ownage picks - 1
darthrob64 - 1

Neo's Aussie Picks - 1
milano collection RB - 1
The Immortal Ones - 1
Octo's Picks - 1
sucram - 1
Ng's Superpicks! - 1
Larkin - 1
Boss - 1
Woll - 1


Elite Spread Pickem

Elite Spread Pickem - Week 11

Octo and Jon tie with 10 correct spread picks

1 Octo's Spread Picks - 10
Ng's Superspreads! - 10

Elite Spread Pickem - Overall

No change at the top as QB is still 4 clear of Boss

1 QB's Pro Bets - 85
2 Boss - 81
3 Ptown Boners - 80
ngamer whackers - 80
5 Milano Collection RB - 78

I ended up giving Ngamer Mario Tennis, Sonic Mega, and that Twilight Princess guide mainly because I never played them, they weren't in the original deal, Jimbo is just that nice! Too bad Ngamer gave me a filthy defective whoopie cushion and a counterfeit $5 bill!

Elite Pickem

Elite Pickem - Week 12

And the high scoring continues:

1 The Immortal Ones - 13
2 darthrob64 - 12
picks of wheat - 12
Neo's Aussie Picks - 12

AJ has a fantastic week picking 13 correctly whilst myself, wheat and neo tie for second place with 12. On such a high scoring week its odd that Woll only managed to get 1 correct. Ah but he only picked the Monday night game so nevermind.

Jim vs QB - Jim had another dreadful week giving QB a free win that he truly does not deserve. 7-4 QB in the series now

Pick breakdown (winner in bold):

Pack 19 Lions 1 - QB is the joker here. This pick single handedly stopped the entire Elite going perfect through Thanksgiving >:  
Jets 0 Dallas 21 - Straightforward pick here. Can the Jets keep Miami at bay next week though?
Colts 21 Falcs 0 - For once the Colts actually covered :eek  
Saints 16 Pants 6 - This was a pretty dire game. Jim had picked the Pants which I cant really understand. Then again, so did Boss!
Tits 19 Bengals 3 - HOW. QB explain how you picked this one correctly please! AJ also had this right
Texans 5 Browns 17 - Another one that went thw rong way for Boss
Bills 2 Jax 20 - Kelly Rules and Richard Bownes making the wrong pick here
Raiders 1 Chiefs 21 - I had typed some huge paragraph laughing at Lark before remembering that the Raiders actually won this
Vikes 2 Giants 20 - Well I am just flabbergasted that only myself and RB took the Vikes here. Explain yourself wheat!
Seaelishas 19 Rams 3 - I had the Rams here and I thought it was a good pick. They should have won too
Redskins 8 Bucs 16 - Jim loses for backing his own team
Niners 1 Cards 21 - PDO out of nowhere predicted this one correctly
Broncos 13 Bears 9 - Im surpised at how divided the field was here. Then again Grossman... QB and Jon both had the Broncos
Ravens 4 Chargers 18 - Odd to see octo backing the Ravens here
Eagles 1 Pats 21 - matt8000 is the obvious joker here
Miami 0 Steelers 23 - I wonder how they did the tiebreak here. Since if you didnt make a selection the default is 0-0. Heh on checking this out, those that had 0-0 DID get ranked higher than those who actually made a pred :lol    


Elite Pickem - Overall

Now looking like this:

1 The Immortal Ones - 120
2 QB's Square Picks - 118
3 picks of wheat - 117
4 Din Mor - 116
Neo's Aussie Picks - 116

AJs great week puts him two clear of the field on 120 picks. For those keeping track of The Elite's overall performance relative to the general population of noobs competing, AJ is at a 99.6 percentile. QB occupies second with 118 and wheat third with 117. To add insult to injury, Jim has now been caught by Neo in a tie for fourth on 116!

Elite Pickem - Win Table

AJ joins the pack in second place with his second win.

1 Kelly Rules - 3
2 Esox Magnus - 2
Din Mor - 2
matt8000 ftw - 2
The Immortal Ones - 2
6 PerfectLight - 1
wiff's ownage picks - 1
darthrob64 - 1
Come - 1
Neo's Aussie Picks - 1
milano collection RB - 1
Octo's Picks - 1
sucram - 1
Ng's Superpicks! - 1
Larkin - 1
Boss - 1
Woll - 1


Elite Spread Pickem

Elite Spread Pickem - Week 12

This was actually a pretty high scoring week for The Elite in spread pickem. Many people scored double figures, but the two leading the way are Clark and Darkhawk with 12.

1 Clark Kills - 12
DarkHawk's Picks - 12

Elite Spread Pickem - Overall

Things are now getting interesting as QB begins the self destruct process and allows wheat to catch up in second. Boss is still hovering thereabouts too.

1 QB's Pro Bets        - 92
2 ngamer whackers - 90
3 DarkHawk's Picks - 89
Ptown Boners - 89
Boss - 89

can i just say that i'm biased against the giants

also, if they do win once this season, the dolphins win will be this week

and last but not least, denver should be kicked out of the league for being the dumbest team ever

Yeah, I feel stupid losing that anti Hester bet because I thought no coach would be stupid enough to kick to him--I forgot that Sauerbrun (denver punter) is the dumbest person in the NFL (even before the game started).

I managed to lay off NE and Det last week so here's this week's bets

Certain bet
Chi (when the line finishes--the line has moved toward NYG so far so I'll wait a bit)
Probable bet
Miami when the line shows up.

Most likely bet

KC +6  Just a simple phrase here
San Diego on the road as a slight favorite has pretty much (I'd be surprised if they won one) lost straight up every game this year as such.

Considering (laid off both Det and NE last week btw so usually go the other way on these are winners cause I end up laying off)

SF +3  (I don't have the stones to take them in PK but I figure the line should move in my favor here so I'll wait)
SF/Car over 35.5
God this one's hard to judge--both teams suck both ways.--those type of games usually lead to the over I believe.
Det +3.5
What a difference a week makes.  Everyone thinks Det sucks and thinks Minn will crush them when just one week ago everyone would have said the exact opposite.  I have to consider this just because of this perception.
Hou +4
Ten has killed (picking wise) me as of late and I almost took Cin last week cause of that and managed not to gain a game there cause of that.  (Is haynesworth back yet?)

Good luck this week on your picks if you're on my side!

Eh, the Pats are obviously a really great football team, but after seeing what the Eagles were able to do to them that entire game, if you don't think the Cowboys or Packers have any chance of topping them in the Superbowl then you've got some Shep-like mental problems.

Last night's game was just as important in terms of determining which team would make the SB as the SB 41 1/2 between the Colts/Pats a few weeks back, since in both cases the result made the winner a virtual lock for home field throughout the playoffs.

all the patriots did in that match was @#%$ about, and just told the eagles to blitz the hell out of brady. they left 5 blockers to deal with at least 7 rushers every time and got the ball off every time

if they actually took the match seriously, it would've been a different story

Elite Pickem

Elite Pickem - Week 13

The top weekly scores were:

1 D-12 - 13
2 sucram - 12
Woll - 12

Brandon appears from under a pile of PS2 games to claim the top spot this week with 13 correct picks. Just one behind are sucram and woll on 12. Sucram always seems to be there or thereabouts but hasnt made a dent on the overall total yet - largely due to a couple of poor weeks mid-season.

Jim vs QB - Proving that underdogs can be winners, QB takes this week by a solitary pick to move up 8-4

Pick breakdown (winner in bold):

Pack 7 Dallas 15 - I find the number of pack picks here suprising. Although once you filter out the Ngamer household and crazies like matt8000, kelly rules and wiff we're just left with mikers and sucram. guys? what happened?
Niners 4 Pants 18 - Odd picking here from brandon/sucram/neo/aj. This really seems like a pick dropped.
Jax 3 Colts 19 - wiff, matt8000, pdo etc
Lions 9 Vikes 13 - a real split here but most of the heavyweights had the vikes. Come didnt.
Chargers 17 Chiefs 5 - wiff, jim, matt8000, pdo, bla bla bla, wheat, bla bla....  hang on WHEAT?!? PLAYOFFS?!?!? Oh my.
Jets 8 Miami 14 - this was always going to be a tough one to call. Almost all the heavyweights backed Miami. AJ knew better however. somehow.
Bills 6 Redskins 16 - a hillllarious end to this game gave me a much needed point against the trend here
Texans 7 Tits 15 - gotta love those tits!
Falcs 4 Rams 18 - im still seething at that garbage sjax td run >:    
Seacurtis 12 Eagles 10 - another one that split the group. I backed the eagles here and I probably would again if the same game was played this week
Browns 17 Cards 5 - QB somehow picked this correctly
Broncos 20 Raiders 2 - wheeeee. Just me and lark here. Im suprised more didnt take the raiders
Bucs 14 Saints 8 - I really hate my saints pick in hindsight. almost as much as i hate colston
Giants 13 Bears 9 - Well how did this happen. Two truly awful teams but I cant understand how the Giants win this, let alone have the elite majority
Bengals 0 Steelers 22 - Guess this was standard but I expected to see 1 or 2 bengals picks
Pats 22 Ravens 0 - Will be interesting to see how many take the steelers next week. The line still isnt up but Im tempted to take pitt in the spread at least.

Elite Pickem - Overall

Now looking like this:

1 The Immortal Ones - 131
2 QB's Square Picks - 129
3 Neo's Aussie Picks - 127
4 Din Mor - 126
5 picks of wheat - 125

AJ didnt have to do much this week to maintain that two point cushion over QB and extend his percentile to 99.7. Neo also makes no move in relative overall total yet bounds up to 3rd thanks to a truly appalling performance by wheat this week. At this stage of the season id have expected wheat to be Vinatieri's kicking to qb's Romo holding. However with just 4 weeks left time we could be looking at the biggest upset in Elite NFL history if QB can pull it out and overtake AJ. Nevertheless QB never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity so Im confident even I can finish above him still.

Elite Pickem - Win Table

Brandon adds his name to the list

1 Kelly Rules - 3
2 Esox Magnus - 2
Din Mor - 2
matt8000 ftw - 2

Well everyone is just all over the place here and pretty much gifting QB the lead. Ive somehow got myself up to a tie for 3rd.

Bears were screwed. The replay showed it bounced infront of him and even booth must have seen it. Mind you, the booth had an appaling week and gave Edwards touchdown even though it was obvious he was touched.

I thought I'd picked the bears too.

Kellen Winslow is the biggest baby around. He was in the officials face all match whining and moaning even when he caught the ball.

Panthers and 49ers are just as bad as each other, that's why I picked the 49ers.

Also, 99.7% = 990th.:D

Seawolves 74 - Damrabbits 0. Easy money. Seawolves improve to 13-0 in the Under the Sea League.

I would say the Seawolves are a lock to go 14-0, as they face the 3-10 Seaorangutans next week. They're the worst team in the AFSea.

I went flying out of my seat when Akers missed. That's the first and only time I'll support the Giants.

Elite Pickem

Elite Pickem - Week 14

Best week ever?

1 Boss - 15
Neo's Aussie Picks - 15

This may well have been the Elite's best week ever. Neo and Boss share the lead with 15 picks! Its about time Boss got going but hes going to need to repeat this performance for the next three weeks if he is to stand any chance at all. Neo has been picking well the last few weeks, but can he maintain the pace as we head into the final straight? No less than 7 other pickers had 14 correct, including Brandon who forgot to pick the Thursday game. A further 9 had 13 correct! Last week we only had one person with 13 picks or more and now this week 18! Great stuff all round.

Jim vs QB - Jim must be seething that even when he picks 13 correct he still slips further behind! 9-4 QB and sadly thats gg

Pick breakdown (winner in bold):

Bears 9 Redskins 13 - This game had a real split. The crazies, the heavyweights, the contenders, just no clear pattern.
Miami 1 Bills 23 -
Cowboys 24 Lions 0 - Well I guess the outcome of this game was irrelevant to the relative standings. But boy did Dallas get lucky. It NEVER ceases to amaze me how bad defensive players are at either catching a football or falling on it.
Rams 6 Bengals 18 - A disappointing pick here for Jim.
Raiders 1 Pack 23 - Alright I'll admit I screwed up bigtime here with this pick. I have absolutely no idea why I went with the Raiders and can only put it down to an unnoticed misclick!
Bucs 21 Texans 3 - This however was not a mispick and I legitmately backed the Texans.
Pants 0 Jax 24 - Jax are motoring now - if only they could beat those Colts!
Giants 14 Eagles 10 - I know the Eagles arent amazing, but why pick the Giants other than if you pick by just looking at the respective records? I know you dont use that method AJ so explain yourself!
Chargers 14 Tits 10 - I was very pleased with the tits pick here and I'd back them again in similar circumstances
Vikes 23 Niners 1 - the hit and miss that is matt8000
Cards 2 Seagooses 22 - misinformation'd. I hate the cards and I guess come does too. This was probably a bad pick by me
Steelers 2 Pats 22 - Well when it came down to it only 2 bravely took the Steelers. Come and matt8000 picking incorrectly here.
Chiefs 5 Broncos 19 - Pretty meh matchup really, but good enough to throw Come off his game again. I bet even Dayle could have picked the Broncos here!
Browns 24 Jets 0 - Surprising pick shutout. Id have thought a couple take the Jets
Colts 24 Ravens 0 - No suprising shutout here
Saints 21 Falcs 3 - Wiff, matt8000, Nate.


Elite Pickem - Overall

Now looking like this:

1 The Immortal Ones - 145
2 QB's Square Picks - 143
3 Neo's Aussie Picks - 142
4 Din Mor - 139
5 D-12 - 138

AJ keeps that 2 point lead with 145 picks over QBs 143. Neo gains 1 pick on second place and is now only 3 behind overall on 142. Jim drops a further pick behind but retains his 4th place. Brandons high scoring run sees him up to 5th on 138 as wheat is now in freefall! With just three weeks to go make sure if youre planning to make a move you dont leave it too late.


Elite Pickem - Win Table

Neo and Boss move into that tie for second place. Time is running out for those wanting to take first place ouright!

1 Kelly Rules - 3
2 Esox Magnus - 2
Din Mor - 2
matt8000 ftw - 2
The Immortal Ones - 2
Neo's Aussie Picks - 2
Boss - 2
8 PerfectLight - 1
wiff's ownage picks - 1
darthrob64 - 1
Come - 1
milano collection RB - 1
Octo's Picks - 1
sucram - 1
Ng's Superpicks! - 1
Larkin - 1
Woll - 1
D-12 - 1

Elite Spread Pickem

Elite Spread Pickem - Week 14

Neo and Come with great weeks here and 13 correct picks.

1 Neo - 13
Come - 13

Elite Spread Pickem - Overall

QB has been finally caught at the top as the rest of us just return random totals.

QB's Pro Bets 111

I really must recommend those Jets this week! They were already a top notch bet imo, but now it looks like the weather for that game is going to be TERRIBLE. And I mean truly dreadful! I just hope I get it on TV.

Some bad weather games still turn into shootouts. The Jets can't stop the run either--potentially a fatal flaw in your plan Q. (Plus there's NO way NE won't run up the score on NYJ if they get the chance to).

Line's moved down to NYJ 22.5. I hope to get NE as low as possible.

Initial reactions are that I like the dogs this week--almost all of them. Which means you should take all favs. I might take SF +9 at home for sat though as that line seems a bit wrong. (Det +11 does to me as well but Det is such a +%$* road team I don't think I can fire on it)

So this week--one unit on NYJ +22.5 (hopefully getting one u on NE later or just letting this one ride)
one unit on SF +9

Pats should be more concerned with losing outright than covering, imo.
