Trying to 'wing' temptation without fully understanding how it works has really bitten me in the ass. It was pretty much expected, to be honest.

Good win against Bill! Time to face AE legend JD who would have beaten me by one if we played this week.

I tipped well, 13 right, but I just suck at CR

This week I resembles this remark. Philly at 15....

 

[Woodson]

Good work GG but can you find space to add the TOPLIST of each? Give ya something to do.

Too hard too soon.. better to change tact now and save your remaining TOPlist for MNF (double points!!) I find it amusing that the a bunch of the tailgaters in CR are right in the mix for this option comp that can really test the nerve.

Ive got too much on my plate.
People can go to the armchair website and it already lists everyone's toplists and how many lives lost there etc.

3XKO - AE13 - WEEK 2 - UPDATE

Again, everything is on the armchair website, people can sort it and see who's ineligible for the next week, and the site handles that already not allowing them to enter ineligible teams.

Posting this (and temptation) just so you have a link on AEClubhouse to paste there.

complete opposite for me
Suck at tipping but the king of CR it seems ... well so far.
Someone on this board said NFC East sucked so I dropped them all to be fair.

btw GG, prawnographer claims this weeks THREE POINT BONUS because he tipped the most CR winners # to which he had the most Temptation points (between he & NDG). You forgot to add matt_897 THREE POINT BONUS from last week.. Prawnographer = 15pts, Matt897 = 19pts.

You forgot to add matt_897 THREE POINT BONUS from last week.. Prawnographer = 15pts, Matt897 = 19pts. and a bonus 20 points for 11sjw because he continues to suck balls in this and most other formats

Just incase you missed the fine print GG

can you explain in PLAIN ENGLISH how the bonus 3 pts works, so I know for future.

Woodson

can you explain in PLAIN ENGLISH how the bonus 3 pts works, so I know for future.

Here it goes... thinking caps on everyone (In the TEMPTATION game). Four lines to read & examples: Simple.

Each week, there are THREE BONUS POINTs to claim. Can be given in multiples also.

What you need to achieve: Most CR team winners. Forget the CR total score.
Tie breaker amongst those with most CR winners picked: >> Most points attained in the Temptation comp that week.
If two or more have scored same points, they can both claim THREE POiNTs each.

ie: Week 1 : Matt897, Shiny, Jonesy86, Sodapop, Imation23, smiths & applaps all picked 13 winners (others not in Temptation)
Of these guys, Matt897 notched up 11 Temptation points as the most attained in week 1 = BONUS THREE POINTS coming his way.

Week 2 : Prawnographer & NDG picked 14 CR team winners.
Of these two qualifiers, Prawnographer notched up six points whilst NDG kept his hands in his pockets (no points) = Prawnographer gets the BONUS Three POINTS.

Got it?

 

[smiths]

Are the temptation scores including x2 for MNF? I don't think anyone got it.

 

[statsman74]

106 and a tie
111 and a loss.

Grrrrrr.

Sodapop got the MNF double-points in Week 1. He picked 27+ and so got 2 pts + 1 cos the favored texans won = 3 x 2 = 6

Favoured means nada for 27+ option. Can be a underdog team in a shoot out also. Because you are allowed to take both MNF teams, the 27+ option gives you a shot at doubling points on a shoot out without losing both TOPlist teams. As long as you only submit TOPlist for MNF, that's where the double points kicker applies. So 2 + 2 + 1 point for either team winning as long as they sore 27 or more, and you claim 10 points. GeeCats07 would be eyeing those three MNF games GB & SF are involved in later in the season. Just hopes everyone's TOPlists takes a hit.

Temptation page loads and I can see all of the lines but can't see any of my teams.

I'll take a look at it & get back to you (today)

Runaway train??

This time last season: AC83 (216pts) was clear by 11 from you guessed it: matt_897

The score of 216 by AC83 this season translates to 26th spot. ac83 is languishing in eq 63rd spot with Moo & tomatosauceling. Each of them AE title champs.

Matt 897 already earning HIGH ROLLER SWEEPSTAKES bonus of 7pts.

Just goes to show how easy (relative to last years opening rounds) the first two rounds have been... I'm happy with 227 points, yet I'm not on your leaderboard and have only won one ND clash. 227 last year had me clear on top.

 

[bgt2110]

I just can't get my head around the Falcons this early in the season, really thought they would be pushing for a SB spot this year but after losing to the Saints in rnd 1 and a somewhat unconvincing home win against the rams i can't figure them out.

With Jackson missing this week and White still hampered by his ankle, what looked like a straight forward win against the dolphins going into the season is now doing my head in.

I get the feeling that the Falcons of the NFC are just like my own Texans of the AFC, look great on paper and look like they could do anything leading into the playoffs but always just fall short.

 

[Blacky]

Weatherspoon is out too

 

[Blacky]

I think at least one of NE, DEN and SF will lose this week.

 

[exe ex machina]

Seattle and Denver losers week 3

 

[exe ex machina]

Niners will smash colts and pats will do enough to beat bucs. Bucs are set to implode with all the freeman and schiano problems

 

[Blacky]

No way Seattle lose.
I think SF Colts will be close at least
