NFL Capping Challenge 2016!!! (1 Viewer)

[cosjobs]

I'm changing one of my picks to NE -3.5

Belichick trying to recover from an opening loss combined with all the Vikings turmoil seems like an easy winner.

Makes me wonder if next year, when a line moves more than two points, that game in ineligible for this contest.

or if there is a may to manually over ride the line. ???

That would be ideal, if it would not lead to a cluster####. We'd pretty much all have to make (or at least review/change) our picks at the final line, leaving a very small window before the games.

That could be trouble changing on the fly if everyone isn't aware ahead of time.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Yeah I think you have to leave the lines as is...there's probably a handful of time late injuries and whatnot move a line significantly

if The nyg cant win a pickem at Home against drew stanton, all is lost

Drew Stanton!!

 

[East Coast Bias]

0-3 so far. Still beating Treynwreck.

 

[Billy Bats]

Week 2 and I kind of wish we could take over/unders. Have changed my picks 20 times this week, that's never good. Could get ugly.

Oh yeah.

 

[Raider Nation]

What a surprise..... I suck at this. Think I'm gonna fade my first instincts from here on out.

 

[The Ref]

I legit looked at the board earlier this week and asked myself what are the 5 worst bets on the board are. Thats what I selected as my picks.

Of course I went four of five.

Same boat... I'm going opposite like Costanza on this thing for now on

I believe this challenge is meant to mimic the supercontest....part of the strategy of that is picking stale lines. It's not such a big deal now but when it gets down to the end and several people are battling for 1st place picking or not picking the line that has moved 2 pts is a big deal.

 

[Chemical X]

nyg cost me a 5-0......i had philly instead, but when i heard palmer died, i moved to this one. honestly, the difference between nfl teams is minor, getting 6 points in almost every circumstance seems a good bet. i loved sd and cleve, not so much for those teams, but NO and Sea are just different away from home. SD is pretty good actually. minny beat a crippled Ram team, that line was too low for NE. i grabbed KC, 2 weeks in, Den is not 2 TDs better than anyone yet.

lol... tell that to Jacksonville.

and oakland......when in doubt, just bet against these 2 teams until proven otherwise.

I don't know, this week seems tough to me. Usually happens after a pretty bad week when I pick most of the games wrong the week before. But I think Jax is sneaky this week. 83% of people are picking Indy -6.5, and with Indy coming in 0-2 after 2 tough losses you have to think they come out swinging at everybody. Seems too easy

ETA: i keep looking and i can only find 1 game i like

 

[Peyton Marino]

the public on CBS loves the heavy favorites (6.5 or more) this week. Atl, Cin, Ind, Phi, NE, NO all picked at 90% or greater. not sure if this is how it always was, but that stuck out to me when i was going through this morning.

In on all those.

I suspect the percentages we see include those picking without lines.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Killing it this week.

That strategy has corrected itself this week.

Bump for the 3 of you who haven't made your picks.

 

[Chemical X]

put mine in today, heck, i cant pick these games straight up, much less with a line. i really love sd at buffalo. i think people are over looking rivers for some reason. i Also think Dallas rolls stl......

I picked both of those.

Why are we spotlighting picks before the deadline?

i don't think it is a big deal. nobody is running away with this thing, it is fun to discuss the games a little i think.now if i go 15-0 the next 3 weeks i wouldn't say much until after the games get posted

Exactly. Only one of us is going to win money in this thing, the rest of you should try and get some enjoyment posting stuff in the thread.

 

[The Ref]

Working on another perfect week.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Looks like a few will go 5-0 this week and 1 may go 0-5.

 

[Chemical X]

think i put up a 4-1.....oops, can i say that?

 

[Good Posting Judge]

3-1 is apparently dog#### this week.

 

[Frostillicus]

:championship:

 

[fantasycurse42]

4-1 and I make up very little ground

49ers are the suck!! They're the no goods in 2014

 

[East Coast Bias]

Just locked in 5 more winners.

 

[Fennis]

locked in 2, maybe 3.

 

[Peyton Marino]

leaving mine blank this week.

 

[cosjobs]

Entered my weekly 3-2 card

 

[Billy Bats]

leaving mine blank this week.

that's next week's option if my dart board fails me this week.

 

[Raider Nation]

Cool people took the G-Men tonight.

 

[Fennis]

I misread the line as WAS +32

 

[Raider Nation]

I misread the line as WAS +32

I say we give Fennis a pass on this one. Easy mistake.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

0-5...might as well just use a dartboard next week

 

[Frostillicus]

0-5...might as well just use a dartboard next week

Yeah probably.

 

[Harris]

Thought I was locked in for a 5-0 week until the Saints #### the bed. Thought they were supposed to have an improved defense this year but I guess they were up against the greatest PTPer of all time.

 

[Billy Bats]

Chem X, feel free to start posting in the wagering thread!

 

[Raider Nation]

I had KC in there originally. Switched it to Oakland.

Hi-five?

 

[Tiger Fan]
