Yeah also out, used my last strike to get my Ravens the road win. Love a bit of reverse-psychology/hedging my bets, works every time.

Post your thanks here Ravens fans.
Thank you kind sir.

Damn you Falcons, Had double digit CR on you clowns. This never would of happened had Sanchez still been first string.
 
Feel as flat as a tack after seeing that Jets field goal sail through and i don't even support the falcons

Who said the nfc was stronger than the afc

by my count it's AFC 18 vs NFC 9 in the 27 matchups so far.....
 
Well my tipping season is going as well as the rams season :(

Me to and i am out of everything now just about.

This will be the first year in 3 years though i have not collected some sort of $$$$ so cannot complain and you cannot always be up there. Same teams week after week screwing me and whether i tip them or go against them i just cannot get them right 99% of the time!!!

Good luck to those in the running for $$$$ and see you next year. :thumbsu:

Also it is sad that we did not run with Over/Under comp this year which ran for a 3 or 4 week period with $$ prizes after every 3rd or 4th week etc and it gave you some incentive to keep going as everyone started from scratch again regardless of other rankings after the 3/4 week period. If you get screwed early like many have and are pretty much out of the running in 3XKO and next duel etc while being to far back on the ladder you virtually have nothing to tip for after week 5 which sux. High roller sweep/shit stakes is a lottery every week IMO.
 
Losing ground on ChockNurris is not good.

Looks like beez is catching up too.

So much waste this week. 1-6 all winners and getting stung on my big numbers.

I didn't back my good tips and went for those short with bookies. *bangs head on desk*

So Matt an avid J-E-T-S fan needs Atlanta to win to secure an ND win while DB needs his Falcons to lose to win ND and keep alive a strike in 3XKO?

That's BRILLIANT!

Yep, it cost me a strike in 3XKO too.

Worth it though
 
SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THE WRECKINGBALL CRANE LEVER TRIGGER FOR THE AGES


3XKOWreckingBall25MNFMassacre_zps0c87014c.jpg


WEEK 5 REPORT CARD:
ELIMINATED: 33
TOTAL STRIKES :51
SURVIVORS on ONE STRIKE: 11
SURVIVORS on TWO STRIKES: 33
Special mention to Billiever who overcame adversity to pull off the most improbable of all victories (read: one the ND's most famous comeback victories) as he was well & truly crucified after TNF following his Bills loss to the Browns, trailing Chris25 by 23pts already. Where to NOW?? Despite the setback, Billiever, managed to dig deep and found NINE winners from the next eleven games to give himself half a shot. The Chargers were SMOKING HOT favs with 92% backing them in, with 7CR still his golden option, Billiever put his faith in the Silver & Black, led by relatively the unknown rookie Tyrelle Pryor as a loss here would definitely extinguish any hope of an improbable victory as CHRIS25 had 14CR spare for MNF along with 38% of the consensus. With Billiever leading only marginally, 73-70, it was all or nothing with rolling the dice with his remaining 10CR total vs 15CR of Chris25's CR arsenal. The Raiders had the Chargers on the ropes from the get go with a commanding 17-0 HT lead that was much highlighted by the GOAL LINE stand before HT as the Raiders D stood firm to deny the Bolts. >>>> Fast fwd to the last quarter with the Chargers gaining all momentum midway thru the last quarter & late in the game, entering the REDZONE, ready to gatecrash the party for a comeback win BUT a couple of TURNOVERS by the undervalued Raiders, pulled off such an INCREDIBLE VICTORY to give Billiever another bite of the ND cherry for MNF. The desperation in both the Falcons (1-3) and Billiever's awkward option to even consider trusting his belovered Bills much hated Divisional rival, the NY Jets, any glaring hope that they were capable of bringing their A-GAME led by a rookie QB, Geno Smith coming off a comprehensive 38-13 hiding to the Titans the previous week. Falcons starting QB, Matt Ryan, feeling the heat following his meltdown performance in the clutch last Sunday night vs the Pats, needing to rebound his floundering Falcons from their tardy 1-3 start. It wasn't exactly an ideal scenerio facing both the Jets & Billiever who wasn't quite expecting a second miracle result with a outburst dig prior to MNF about his cunumdrum.

But like the internal meaning of BF alias, he BELIEVED that he had nothing to lose especially with CHRIS25 sitting back comfortably ready to snatch the win by the narrowest of margins if the Falcons got up. The other fact that riled Billiever was not being within a shot of being a HRS candidate, leaving him short. So 3CR on the Jets it was... and HOW about those JETS?? The rookie QB Geno Smith who was snubbed in the first round of the draft, was playing a terrific game... starting smartly, getting the team in front and letting the underated Jets D hold out the Falcons also on a GOAL Line stand just before HT. It wasn't until the later in the game when the Falcons were gaining momentum, rallying from a 27-14 deficit, that the fever pitch interest was starting to peak with the TWENTY FIVE other 3XKO survivors hoping for the Matt Ryan drive to save them... two fourth down plays made were so crucial and how about the controversial Endzone holding penalties to breath life back into the 3XKO survivors... this was going ALL the WAY folks!@! Fasten your seat belts.. TOUCHDOWN FALCONS to square up the scores with a PAT to follow as the Falcons suddenly hit the front 28-27. Meanwhile in Adelaide, Dirty Bird, was no doubt feeling the pinch as his beloved Falcons were NOT SELECTED!!! That's right... to Matt897's noted chagrin.. matt_897 , the Jet die-hard, played the conservation option, and you bet it was another conundrum story on it's own as he led 64-57, needing the Falcons to now hold on with under a minute remaining to defeat Dirty Bird. So, back to the Billiever story.. with one of the 25 3XKO survivors hanging onto the thread (hoping for a Falcons miracle) texting me a virtual guarantee the Jets WILL WIN with a late FG ( Chism not a happy camper) ...it was the REX RYAN factor that kicked in at this late stage as time-outs were utilised to stop the clock, the Falcons D were just helpless to stop the Jets gaining gradual ground = moving into FG territory. The wry smile from Dirty Bird starting appearing again, as his 'self claimed' genius move to LIGHT the proverbial ND BOMB under Matt 897's nose and with NICK FOLK ready to step up for a 43 yard attempt, (5-7 record last season), it's up, it's long and it's slightly to the left upright BUT it's GOOOOOOOD!!!! J-E-T-S WIN!!
The 3XKO WRECKING BALL lever is PULLED DOWN and CRASH DOWN GO TWENTY FIVE 3XKO troopers... Dang!!

Hey Woodson is Atlanta losing this week the biggest Wrecking Ball ever?

If not, must be close?

Remember the Cards Week 2 UPSET last year @ Gillette..

Bump.

Not sure what is happening. I had two strikes left, one of which I lost on the Falcons. However I still had one left on the Rams who won but it is saying I have no strikes left.

Relax Raskolnikov.. you are one of the remaining 34 with TWO STRIKES (down, one remaining). I'll make sure JD has that detail updated along with Superfreak's default selections. Lukozade is another has an error.. got given an additional pick. Will update the Ae13Clubhouse this evening. Hopefully PB74 can fwd the ND results / standings so I can start putting out the week 6 schedule in full on these boards.
 
0 and 5 in Next Duel:(

Chism feels your frustration & bitterness. Look on the flip side.. only way is Up. 6-5 record is mathematically possible. Seek Billiever for all the positive vibes the AE has to offer... entrenched in the Top 10!!

Cheers. I was thinking about what Chism said about it all being over after week 5. Would it be a good idea next year in order to make the 3xko last longer to only have to choose one winner a week. The only problem with that is that it could mean that there are a lot of people left at the end of the season.

On the empire fantasy league site, there's a "Survivor" 3xko game....where you only pick one team per week, but you can only choose one team ever. Once you've picked a team, you can't use it ever again. I think this would be a good addition next year, as an extra comp....tho might be good to add that idea to some other idea (like say, picking under/overs), into a combined comp.

Like anyone who follows the NFL knows, it's not an easy caper to find winners willy nilly.. keeps everyone on edge.. nothing is a given.. I snookered myself with leaving the SNF-MNF with the 3XKO... grrrr... knew the Eagles were good things this week. It takes a skill of surviving, as you stated, too many left at the end allows for extra lives... Bloods_33 dropped in and showed him the WB from the Jets.. he suggested a 'cash buy in' which boosts the 3XKO coffers but at the same time.. that just builds more numbers. We have a decent number hanging on atm @ 52% The comp is still a crowd favourite. :hearts:

That's the beauty of assorted comps..unless you want the guy at the top to claim 90% of the prizes like the run of the mill think tank.

The fact that Larkis claimed the Andre Tippett Division with a 6-6 record just shows how fiercely competitive the AE has become.. AC83 was in his Division btw. Spitting the dummy because you're not dancing around like last couple seasons Trevi Fountain celebrations isn't an excuse to diss the AE... the pre-season 'Lifting the Lid' thread got meagre support for the Spreads/Lines and that's where TEMPTATION was born. TGBB described the new option comp so articulately ... really surprised you didn't buy into it. What's really amusing is that for all the flack I cop about my AE tipping performance, I'm just pulling all the right triggers atm.. ;) what's not to like? have a crack and see what floats your boat. 3XKO with gears.

Heck, even GG is showing his nous..
