AE AE17 Launch & Discussion thread

[Woodson]

3XKO CARNAGE: The defending champ, TheGreatBarryB is OUT as more big scalps are eliminated following the Steelers inept performance against their bogie nemesis, the Jaguars. The Jaguars have proven to be the spoilers once again following their week 3 London lash out on the Ravens who copped a minor sting of eight. Of the 33 emphatic strikes, 25 have have been eliminated including AE big wigs, Sven , Superfreak, former 3XKO champs, Island Bomber and ShinyOnTop and the 2015 Double Crown champ, Nobbyiscool. The AE commish shaking his head in displeasure. BeLikeMike waving black flags this morning also.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Woo
Top 5

 

[Dirty Bird]

When I woke up and switched on the games I saw the early game results and went

Shhhiiiiiiiit

I hope I tipped the Bengals, jets, colts,Dolphins, Ravens and chargers.

Went 5/6 and only blew 1 cr on New York.

**** Pittsburgh and Detroit though.

Chism

Did you know the only week this year which you scored lower than gg was the one and only week you versed him.

 

[aussiedude]

Rams. f**k you, the fumble on the goalline and dropped TD in the final 10 sec.

 

[JeffDunne]

Think this was my worse week ever.

Thank god the Eagles won.

 

[aussiedude]

its like the last few weeks said you think this is bad wait till you see week 5

 

[11sjw]

Looks like TheGreatBarryB and I will go down to MNF.

 

[Dirty Bird]

This puts me to #1 for the week and #2 for the season

But I think rashmadadon would overtake me on mnf for the week

 

[aussiedude]

another win. sitting 10th this week. Did not see that coming when i woke up and saw the scores from the early games.

still have 14CR for tomorrow.

Kicking myself and saw this coming as the Squeelers are terrible when heavy favourites and Big Ben needs a fork in him and the crap division has been saving him for 2 years now.

I just could not see anyone else worthy of the 3XKO selection this week and why did I drop the Ravens and take the tick off them. FFS.

I thought Philly, mainly because Arizona have been sucking pretty hard lately.

Philly impressed me FWIW and they look to have the NFC East in a tight battle with the Skins. I tipped the Cards to bounce back but they are another team to reliant on 1 player who is out while their defense is drinking their own bath water!

We are just a mess with Garrett and the current defense sadly but i am not surprised hence my 10CR on the Packers today!

Happy with my Ravens tip in the end but **** me i had em 14CR and 3XKO but got cold feet yesterday and swapped em with the Steelers as the so called safe only 7+pt favourite this week......! Seahawks also i thought were a great underdog tip and these 2 teams eventually sealed my ND match up win.

Ouch with the swap!!! Dammit.

I'm too scared to comment on the teams that others support as we've had years of shit deservedly dumped on us. Crossing everything I can and touching wood as often as possible to avoid a jinx!

I just saw the Steelers winning and the safer bet at home but Big Ben had other ideas for me and many others to as confident as i was with the Ravens on the road.

Also the Gmen going 0-5 had me stunned at home to against the chocking Chargers.

This year is just impossible and while others have been hard to this season is Nostradamus type stuff!

Totally agree. So many one possession games that have lead changes late. I think I picked about 7 games to give 1CR to this week.

In ND I've been fortunate that my opponents have been slightly worse than me more times than not. EG, I've got 7 correct so far this week but take a slender getable lead into Monday night. I just have to pick correctly to win.

Tomorrow is tough and i am on the Bears with the Trubisky era about to begin.

I can easily see the Bears rolling the Vikings as home under dogs with Bradford banged up coming off injury.

Too true. There's not enough 1CRs to go around each week, especially this season.

Undecided as yet as I assume TheGreatBarryB is reading this!

Will make my mind up sometime in the early am tomorrow!

It is an easy decision to just tip the favourites in the Vikings but in saying that how has that strategy fared this season especially in 3XKO with 70%+ of the whole field GONE by Week 6!

Prime time games = Add the heeby jeebies tenfold!

 

[Kadog]

What a week! So many close games all going against me. Only 29CR with 3 to play. FN unreal.

Ravens and Jagoffs always bending me over every week. campaigners.

 

[Island Bomber]

I suck at this game.

 

[statsman74]

Some cracking scores this week given the circumstances. Sadly, not one of them. Reckon the Drop Zone is in play for me, but I do have 10CR to use.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Week like this make me yearn for the amazing beginners luck I had in my first season.

My results over the last 5 weeks really shame the "former champ" moniker
