Have PM'd JeffDunne to make the change.

I've texted him.. consider it a 'pre-GAME notification' ALL CLEAR.. as Qld is still an hour behind whilst rest of Down Under moved our clocks fwd.

Btw, Alex Henery, Matt Forte, and Andy Reid (12 men on the field) can go fornicate themselves.

Woke up this morning and watched red zone for a couple of hours then went back to bed with Detroit up 14-0, Tennessee up 28-3 and Atlanta up 20-10. Thought l was pretty safe especially the Titans.

Woke up later, they all lost probably costing me ND. Weak bunch of spineless campaigners.

Went to change my tip from Patriots to Bengals roughly 45 mins before game but said it was locked out.
One of the only times I have been glad there was an early lock out.

Daylight savings stuffed things up a bit this week.

Lucky for you it worked in your favor! GG tried to flip from Bengals to Pats but couldn't and had to post it up here before the game started so JD can amend it tonight. Smart flip and the Bungles were always in danger of dropping this game IMO, Pats with their backs to the wall at home is always hard to tip against.

nice of my opponent to put 13 on Jacksonville, thought I was playing GG for a second

I never tip underdogs at a high CR. If I feel there's an upset chance, especially against a wild favorite, I always go the low CR, so it doesn't cost much loss of CR points. It's the 50:50 games that does my head in (those 5-10 CR games) where the team i tipped almost won, lost a lead, etc.

 

[Blacky]

GGs problem is that he talks himself into thinking overwhelming favourites will lose.

So in his mind he lost 1-2 CR, but what he really lost was the easy double digit.

Opportunity cost

I thought all of your tips were underdogs?

Chiefs almost DID beat Niners.
Tampa almost DID beat Saints.

I was very close to getting it right. Not like either team got pounded and I look the idiot.
Vikings....blame juggalo. I had Packers 1CR -- so no loss of high CR points there at least, just hate tipping TNF.

No. Im not stupid about it. I always try to sniff out the upset winners. Except I got it wrong (didnt see lions lose, bucs/chiefs was a little unlucky, also unlucky bears).

Lucky larkis sucks at this game of skill and stays away sparing us from his bragging, or this thread would be unreadable most weeks with his band wagoning gloating after any win!

I'm technically not out of ND yet! I think I finally found a winning strategy.

Do share!

Still pissed at the Titans

 

[Chism]

Do share!

Oh and hoping to play a person who puts double digits CR on the Jags etc is not a valid strategy!

Still pissed at the Titans

Titans are a nightmare no matter what you do with them! Never give any game more than 5ish CR when they are involved! They have been like this for years the campaigners.

It's called not using my brain
It got me into this mess, I don't trust it to get me out.

We are all idiots, the sooner we accept it is the moment we will start to succeed in AE.

Titans and Steelers are two teams l always seem to get wrong and Detroit would have to be the most unreliable pack of duds l have ever seen. For the amount of talent they have they just never seem to produce when it matters, the must win games against lesser opponents at home.

Don't knock the system, it's working this week.
