Woodson sent me a message saying that Marklar_33 score is actually 21.

I don't know.
One could certainly decide at the end of the year '**** this' and go for it.
Tip like I did that game last year but in reverse and they could finish with a 3. (And a fumble in OT away from a 0)

 

[Papa Juggs]

To be fair when you can't get 16,15 and 14 CR it doesn't really count.

Getting a 35 or whatever it is with no byes is much much worse.

At the time it was 13, which would mean via that strategy you would have to actually tip 12 points away from perfect round to beat it.

Quality tippers struggle to do that, let alone someone who has packed the year in

35, jesus

6 eliminated though.Won't win.

I haven't got the skills of a GG to post spreadsheets in here but an update for 3XKO after week 4 :

21 People have been eliminated
14 People have 1 strike
37 People are sitting on 2 strikes

In week 1 no people were eliminated but there were 67 strikes, thanks mainly to Chicago who accounted for 46 of them
In week 2 there were 8 people eliminated, a total of 55 strikes with thanks to the 49érs for 25 of them
Week 3 was a good week for everyone except the 1 person eliminated. A total of only 2 strikes.
Week 4 saw a total of 12 people eliminated, 26 strikes altogether with Pittsburgh the main culprit accounting for 22 of them.

Also noticed that the 3XKO is not yet open this week Woodson JeffDunne at least for me anyway.

 

[Dirty Bird]

JeffDunne - if I you don't open it in time, please put my 3xko on my #12 CR team.

 

[JeffDunne]

It should be ok now. Sorry.

I'll double-check the scores too. Been flat out this week so I haven't had a chance to go through it.

Can you double check the Saints Offense too?

 

[Papa Juggs]

Can you double check the Saints Offense too?

I have checked. Still no Sproles.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I have checked. Still no Sproles.

People seem to forget (or don't know much about the game) that Sproles was only at the Saints for 3 years. And for the 4 years before that under Payton and Brees. They were just as prolific without him as they were with him.

I didn't forget, I had no idea.

I'm an expert on last week and possibly the week before. Everything else is ancient history.

UPDATE WEEK 4

thanks for this, I appreciate all the work.

I keep trying to enter Temptation picks but it doesn't come up with anything, hence my 0 picks each week. Am I doing something wrong or am I just missing something on the website?

So the best teams in the NFL are Dallas, New York (Giants), Detroit, Arizona, Cincinnati, Baltimore, Indianapolis, San Diego and Kansas City?

So teams that had a bye last week don't count?

Please don't insult my intelligence.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I just went to the standings on ESPN.com and listed every team who had a 2+ win streak.

Doesn't work like that either. Just because you lose a game doesn't mean you're a bad team. Just because you win (and will possibly go unbeaten) doesn't mean you're a good team (yes I'm talking about the Bungles).

 

[twarby]

Bengals aren't a good team?
so there is one, maybe two good teams in the NFL

You should just be able to click on the "Temptation" icon and then click on either "spread, " "+27, " or "win" depending on your preference. The box becomes black with a tick inside it. Are you at least getting those options ?

Soft draw.

Thanks for the advice.

I get to the Temptation page, and see a list of the games, and then a grey box with "spread, " "+27, " and "win" - but when I move my mouse over the 3 choices nothing happens (no boxes or ticks come up), and no option seems to be "selectable" on the page. This is as opposed to the main "enter tips" page where I can select winners (or more accurately miserably fail and select losers), move games up and down, and change all of the choices.

Whatever the temptation page is, there just doesn't seem to be any choices or boxes to tick?

Anyway, maybe it is because I am already eliminated...
