With all of Chism failures, he is only 36 points behind you Woodson
Thinking that situation won't last long

Woodson has his hands on the Week 5 premiership cup already.

Oh hang on.... there is no cup yet.....

Thinking you being that far down on the ladder will
Hope you don't enjoy ND playoffs because you won't be participating

I'm not sure who is running temptation - but i lost KC last week when i had them at -3.5 to beat the Titans.

I'm pretty keen to load up on them this week vs the Raiders

As long as that's your only victory then I'm happy for it to go ahead

Who will break their ICE this week??

Watch me go from chocolate to boiled lollies. Leading scorer one week to losing to 0-5 Island Bomber!

 

[GeeCats07]

Anyone else refusing to jump on the Browns bandwagon? Go Lions!

 

[peterbuch74]

Got a bad feeling that I'm gonna crash and burn with my selections this week.

 

[Galactic]

^ Better to burn out, than fade away.

I had that feeling a couple of weeks ago.

It was mainly due to getting cocky about nearing the top of the leader board.

Scoring 120CR points doesn't make you an overnight pro.

Still kicking myself for tipping the Steelers in London. It doesn't matter how shit they play I still get that feeling they will beat the Ravens which is probably why I respect them.

 

[Blacky]

I have a high roller type feeling about this week

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!!

........ THE AE FURY IS QUANTIFIED NATIONWIDE.......

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS

 

[Dirty Bird]

Hey Chism - How's the floor of AE treating ya?
Through all my bad years, I never got that low (thankyou GG )
You must be feeling like shit
ps. 6 good weeks, 6-5 record and you might manage a wildcard spot to keep the dreams of nd alive...

Sorry, thought I'd fixed that glitch.

Fixed and good to go.

How about we make a bet. If I beat you, you go back to the Bigfooty abyss and if you beat me, you back to the Bigfooty abyss? Fair?

 

[Dirty Bird]

Don't tempt me to accept and manipulate a draw

 

[Papa Juggs]

So I forgot to tip.

What happens?

Really?

I have the Bears higher up on my depth chart if that helps.

Do I get the Bears 15CR? That might be handy if the Bears were to win. I was planning on having a punt on the Giants

No offence but this is why I don't agree with depth chart. I don't know who you are playing this week. I hope it's not me. But I have 13 CR points riding on Chicago. I would be pretty pissed off if I were to lose by a few points, especially when you admit you were thinking about backing the Giants.

Not singling you out. Just an example of why I don't like the depth chart and didn't submit one at the start of the year. If you forget to tip too bad IMO.

No, you don't. First NO Show for TNF is a 1CR on your higher listed team from Depth Chart. On the second No Show TNF, that becomes a 6CR and the third & subsequent occasion it's a 10CR. With no tweaking of Depth Chart, it's more likely you'll get it wrong / pay the price as team fluctuation form keeps on changing year in year out. Use to be Highest CR a few years ago.. but changed it to 1CR then we got more feedback and settled on a 'leveler'.

btw... only one No Show today. drd23. He has NYG 1CR. Only 3 picked the G-Men.

81% of the 96% took Da BEARS with double CR. Is Primetime Pricey attempting to take a leaf from Billievers book?? I'm sure quin_stick is LOVING it..

Fair call. I'm a noob though and just getting used to the schedule. I keep thinking that it all happens Monday but you gotta put that 1 tip in days earlier for TNF.

On depth charts.
Mine - Bears 11 Giants 13
Default - Giants 19 Bears 20
Average - Giants 9 Bears 11

So most would be tipping the Giants here even though their form has dropped so far.

Next year I'll be settled in and will not miss TNF. Perhaps we should trial the no tip, no points rule next season?

With the competitive AE structure the way it is... not broken.. is working well.. don't need to go that way. Leave it to the simpleton '1 point for 1 correct tip' comps out there. Besides, allowing for a 'shot at something' just makes you earn EVERY POINT with the fluctuation of NFL teams.
