AE AE17 Launch & Discussion thread

[JeffDunne]

Ignore the HS scores for the minute, they're all over the place.

I'm trying to sort it out now.

I'm not even scoring that badly, bloody hell Shiny

 

[Jatz]

Currently down 1 but don't think I'll make up the difference.

Absolutely love the comp though, regret not doing this several years sooner!

Not sure where I've been able to pull this week from.

I don't have any data in front of me but I feel like you and I have a bit of an AE rivalry. Seem to be in your division most years and have had critical matchups in the past.

Be good to get an early W if I can pick one winner or match a tip of yours.

 

[JeffDunne]

Hot Streak scores should make sense now.

Let me know if there's still problems.

BTW JD - great work on the website. Love the new features - particularly the head to head comparison for Next Dual - great stuff!

Or at least, I think they're new!

The JOHN HANNAH DIVISION already set to be highly competitive as both Bipolarbear and Chafing the Dream are up and about.

Inaugural LCS champ of 2011, Burningleviathan has now notched up six wins from 8 season openers and will be keen to set the pace early in the Walter Jones Division that features another two AE title winners as well as the first Play-Off competitor who didn't show up (read: snubbed!!) to submit his picks (looking at you Papa Juggs ).

Division title winners of 2016, bgt2110 and Osmodiar are looking to return to the ND big stage after going out ONE & Done last season. Forgotten man, Marklar_33 is back and will seek to snare his fourth Division title. His 2010 John Madden CC loss by a narrow margin to Dirty Bird is something that needs to be rectified with a Big Dance showing. Also feeling the sting of a ND title loss, is Galactic who had a phenomenal 2011 campaign, seeks to re-capture his dominating ways and with already three Division titles under his belt, it's gonna take a brave man to intercept the Rod Woodson Division title from this Pats fan.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Thought I'd let em off the hook. Next time I'm going all the way.

Hi Kadog any roughies tomorrow?

 

[BornAgainIdiot]

I'm on track to be the Jets of AE17.

Well done Osmodiar

Just on Hotstreak - does the order of games change as the weekend unfolds ?

The order of my picks submitted on Friday are very different to how it looks now after completed games. Thanks !

 

[arakaan]

pretty sure the order is a simple as

1) scheduled time of kickoff.
2) Alphabetical order of home team(ie 1pm games are in this order)

Looks fine to me when I look at it.

I think it's even simpler than that - I'm pretty sure that last year JeffDunne revealed that the formula is as simple as using the order of games as they appear on the NFL website.

 

[simonoz]

That's what I remembered from last year as well.............yet the five picks I did on Friday, and then wrote them down, is a
different order that what shows now. Oh well, no biggie !

 

[JeffDunne]

This week there may have been some issues when I moved the Miami game.

But yeah the default sequence is timeslot/home team (same as NFL site - in theory, they sometimes break this rule).

Hey Papa. Possibly but unlikely

 

[Papa Juggs]

lol Bradford I was worried for a minute there.

Put my faith in the Saints for the ND chance.

 

[Big Red Machine]

I actually want my tip for this game to lose to give me a shot at the win in the other MNF game.

If the Saints get up, Best I can do is tie.

 

[Gridiron Warrior]

peterbuch74 sorry (not sorry)

 

[LeverPuller]

Ooh, different tip for NO@MIN Shiny...hmm.

 

[11sjw]

The MIN win gets me over the line!!!

Edit: Touch wood!

 

[Chism]

Minny screw me.

Flipped to Chargers now and Cmon Rivers as there is no way my opponent has 11CR on a road dog and even if he does I will barrack for Broncos cause I currently have a lead!

 

[LeverPuller]

Woodson - is there a countback in the event of a tie?

Only in playoffs from memory.

Otherwise points are split.

Doesn't matter, we're both on SD

I've actually been on Chargers and Saints all week. Didn't change tips in the hope you were doing so.
