Week 7 Survival Pick

Teams already used: ARI, NYJ, SD, GB, NO, CIN

Games which are obv non-picks:

SD/NYJ - used both
IND/NO - used NO
GB/MIN - used GB

Games to avoid:

SEA/CLE - 2 bad teams
ATL/DET - lack of confidence in DET
DEN/MIA - 2 bad teams
CHI/TB - 2 inconsistent teams, plus neutral field
HoU/TEN - Divisional game, both inconsistent
WAS/CAR - 2 inconsistent teams, QB situation for WAS
KC/OAK - Divisional game

Games to consider:

PIT/ARI - ARI is home team, PIT still hosts CLE and CIN late in season
BAL/JAX - JAX is home team, BAL still hosts IND, CLE, CIN later
STL/DAL - DAL home game, STL is horrible even with Lloyd, only other game DAL might have worth picking is W12 vs MIA

so this week's LOCK OF THE WEEK IS...

The DALLAS COWBOYS!

it must be fun in a GM's office when the raiders call you. I mean Cin was probably fist pumping from just the one first round pick offer then realized holy fuck it's the raiders we can ask for more! First + 1st/2nd depending if the raiders win a playoff game or not. They bid against themselves again.

Week 7 is coming right up, but can you deal with this?

If you can, get those picks in! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvhZ2lt476FmdENPaFpIdmpjNHN2a1FISTEwNXZfcUE&hl=en_US

Special Announcement:

A few minutes after last week's Packers/Rams game ended, Jim went out to the sheet and changed his incorrect pick (Rams) to the correct one (Packers), then attempted to swap out another pick that looked like it was going to be a loser as well. This cheating was of course caught (for one thing, people are looking at the sheet all day on Sundays; for two things every single edit is tracked so there's no way to claim "those were my picks all along"). This begs plenty of questions, such as

* How could someone this untrustworthy still complain about proof calls and having his times backrolled?
* How could someone this dedicated to cheating still get upset when called out on it during KotHs?
* How could someone who routinely displays this level of immaturity still be amazed that he's yet to be entrusted with a Rankings or Board Moderator position?
* How could someone who takes advantage of the "it's just for fun between friends, I'm sure no one would be stupid enough to cheat" honor system that our entire community is built around still be shocked when stuff like this happens? http://thengamer.com/updates/elite/2011/match.php?match=44

In any case, Jim's been penalized with losses on both W6 games he tried to cheat and has also lost his ability to edit the spreadsheet for the remainder of the season. He'll be required to say his picks in Chat in full view of the public from here out, so as not to test his complete lack of willpower any further.

- They're running a Balderdash about the movie "Black Shampoo"... but Google is right in my other tab!
- They're running a KotH to see who's the fastest typist... but Notepad is right next to Chat!
- They're running a religion trivia challenge... but my Bible's right here in the bookshelf!
- They're running a Summer Contest on this website... but I still remember some passwords from an Elite meetup last week!
- They're running a NFL picking Contest on this spreadsheet... but looks like I'm still able to make edits!

These aren't "loopholes." They're tests of character. Hopefully you will pass one of them in 2012.

So... if it's possible to cheat, you must, if for no other reason than to punish people for not having foolproof systems against cheaters. In a closed community of 20 friends who run the honor system on everything they do.

All I get from this post is that you intentionally ruin things just for the sake of ruining them?

Going with SF this week in survival. Balt is the only other team I'd consider but they've got a few more pickable games and SF doesnt have too many left to go for, so hope it pays off!

WEEK 9, DUDES

Make them picks!

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AvhZ2lt476FmdENPaFpIdmpjNHN2a1FISTEwNXZfcUE

Down to only 4 bye teams instead of 6, so you've got more options for your Five. I'm expecting scores to improve accordingly!

Basically picking between Houston and Kansas City this week in survival, and pretty sure KC is the right pick since I don't have to outlast anyone and I'm only trying for the perfect season. Probably the shakiest pick so far but I hope it works!

Jon,

I'm a Chargers AND Niners fan, but both cases admittedly just from living in/near the cities and bandwagoning their successful seasons

Also,

Playing fantasy with you guys is tough this season - I'm used to a 10 team PPR league that isn't so TD heavy, which is really easy to play the waiver wire and do well with deep benches. 14 team heavily weighted toward TDs has been a nice contrast!

On a 99 yd punt return for a TD. I can only imagine he still got yelled at for this. Can't believe I'd ever utter the phrase walk off 99 yard punt return TD.

EDIT - Careful out there, Eliters! There's a Thursday night game this week (Raiders @ Chargers), and these TNF games are going to be happening every week from here out. Not a big deal for the SuperContest (unless you really want to bet that specific line), but be sure to make your ESPN picks so you're not locked out of that point!

1. Aaron Rodgers is better than your quarterback, even on his off-day. (3 TD 1 INT 299 yards 112 QB rating).
2. Packers will go 15-1 or better, best in franchise history (yay for being record-obsessed and seeing things happen before my eyes!)
3. I'm sad at Cutler being out for the rest of the season

4. LOL at Rex Ryan taking a fan's bait and telling him to "shut the fuck up", netting him a $75K fine.

Lark · « **Reply #73 on:** November 22, 2011, 01:44:53 am »

There's a good chance that they lose to the Giants at the Meadow Lands. Also, I doubt they'll beat the Lions twice. I'd say 14-2 at the very least. However, I'm going to say they go 15-1.

Ngamer · « **Reply #74 on:** November 23, 2011, 04:49:42 pm »

WARNING

There is not one, not two, but THREE Thursday games this week (for Thanksgiving), so be sure to make your ESPN picks tonight and not miss out!

You might also want to get some of those Superpicks bets in early, as those three lines are quite TASTY.

You can't lose both bets (DUCY?) unless we're involving any bears win over the packers. Then I'll move it up to $10.

That game was a head scratcher in general. So many dropped passes and such. Having Jennings out didn't help their case either. Gotta give it to the Kansas City though. They never gave up.

wheatrich · « **Reply #83 on:** December 19, 2011, 04:30:45 am »

Colts won, Tebow lost. Entire day made no fucking sense.

Oh wait Caleb Hanie is still awful. Well one game still made sense anyway.

Jimbo · « **Reply #84 on:** December 19, 2011, 12:17:38 pm »

I was on suicide watch all day after that game, I knew the formula for beating the Packers would be Cover 1 and very few pass rushers getting home to the quarterback, and GUESS WHAT HAPPENED?!

Congrats to Tyler landing those tickets, he now joins me in the exclusive club of witnessing "the most epic game of all time"! Actually, Ngamer probably belongs in there too, but that's irrel!

Anyway, suicide averted, I forgot that a 49ers loss tonight (very possible) still secures home field advantage, then we get 4 straight home games (plus bye week) at Lambeau, phew.

EDIT: Doesn't help that our defense didn't win a single one-on-one battle, and Capers' schemes got owned by a reasonably intelligent quarterback who knew what was happening. I was 50% convinced we were going to win that game after the final frantic TD drive because Crosby was 4/4 in his last few onside-kick attempts, but that kick had ZERO bounce to it and we stood no chance. People are honestly questioning McCarthy not kicking it away but people fail to realize that a FG try there still only puts them up by 8 and we can tie it on the final drive. Whatever, so many streaks came to an end yesterday

BTW: Drew Brees has 4780 yards with 2 games to go, and is easily going to shatter Dan Marino's 5084 yards he put up in 1984.

EDIT 2: Jermichael Finley will NOT return as a Packer next year, I've never seen someone go from ULTRA CLUTCH to COMPLETE BUTTER HANDS in one season, yet Rodgers STILL forced it to him in every situation!

I'm sick of Finley too. His attitude doesn't fit the Packers team. I wouldn't mind if he's gone next year at all. I second Jimbo's assessment that Finley's hands have gone from gold to butter like none I have ever seen. Overall, I don't mind the packers loss at all. I'd rather have anything than an 18-0 season go to 18-1. I've also been saying that the team defense needs a reality check for a long time.

Jimbo · « **Reply #88 on:** December 21, 2011, 01:12:43 am »

49ers literally cutting the power to try to distract the Steelers! Cheaters!

Not sure who I'd rather see get the #2 seed, as I'd RATHER play SF than NO, but I'm thinking NO can go into Candlestick and beat SF anyway, so who cares. At that point, it's all about who I'd rather see get a week of rest vs beat themselves up an extra week while our starters heal up.

Fuuu playoffs and the fear of getting bounced EARLY AS THE 1 SEED. HEARTBREAK FORTHCOMING.

- Rodgers gets Packers single-season passing record!
- Rodgers is now back over Manning's mark of 121.x for season-high QB rating!
- Rodgers finally has thrown for 5 TDs in one game!

Congratulations to Derek Clark for winning the ELITE FANTASY CHAMPIONSHIP! (He needed insane games from Rodgers and Nelson to make up 40 points, and he got 7 TDs from them!)

Crazy comeback. I was pretty certain I was defeated, down 73-33 with Rodgers and Jordy the only players left for either of us. Rodgers threw 2 touchdowns to Jordy in the second half - his last throw before leaving the game was the TD pass that put me ahead. Crazy close.

Worst team in the playoffs is easily the Denver Broncos.
Best team not in the playoffs has to be between the Chargers and Eagles.

That 16-13 OTL SD suffered to Tebow-Time decides the division.

Also, lol @ my fantasy teams best week being Week 17 (Flynn + Nelson + Gronk + Turner). Some ridic games this week.

Playoffs should be fun - road teams should be favored as a group over the home teams, I'd say.

In the 90+ years of the Packers, with legendary quarterbacks like Bart Starr, Brett Favre, and now Aaron Rodgers.... the single best game ever played now belongs to...

Matt "god mode" Flynn!: 6 TDs (No Packers QB has ever thrown for 6), 480 yards (single-game record as well), 136.x rating (nearly tops Rodgers' season high rating of 122.5 which is also a new NFL record) and now an unrestricted free agent. I hope he goes to Seattle, because I'm IN with the Weatherton family and they love the Seahawks and now we can have a friendly rivalry! (Hmmm, Packers backup going to Seattle to lead them to the promised land? That sounds quite familiar!)

White boys ballin' on everyone's chins? Jordy Nelson finished with 15 TDs, Rob Gronkowski gets the TE yardage record along with the TD record. Love it!

Top 2 seeds in the NFL finished with the 2 worst statistical defenses. I happen to think our defense is actually very solid only because we get so many turnovers. New England needs to win on firepower ALONE.

I'm SUPER afraid of the Giants and have been calling for their heads for weeks now. I was hoping Dallas could close the deal a few weeks ago and prayed tonight for them to clutch it out, but not to be! They're the one team that can stomp GB in our own stadium and I want nothing to do with them. I'm a Falcons fan next week and I kind of hope Detroit beats New Orleans...

Time to talk about the Lions. Anyone else agree with me that @ GB, @ NO, @ GB will be the toughest 3-game-stretch in NFL history? They HAD to win this game today so they went all-in... Now it's time to man up and play real football.

LOOKING FORWARD TO THESE PLAYOFFS, GONNA MILK THIS OFF WEEK AND JUST WATCH THE FIREWORKS!

Random FYI: Congrats to the PACKERS and to the SAINTS for being the only 2 teams to go undefeated at home, way to keep the home fans proud! (this was a huge deal for me, as well)
