AE AE17 Launch & Discussion thread

[Woodson]

Please someone tell me I had Dirty Bird in ND this week

You did.. but he went in a Jiffy. The mystical combination of the initial rookie Kelzi going AWOL, replaced with a new rookie, who scored enough in the same week when road teams played lights out to cause all kinds of chaos in AE amongst other comps.. add that he dropped from Top 5 to remain in the Top TEN.. only marginally before he announced he was losing his zest. At least he had face/respect to submit his final week. That's commendable. Then he plummeted down to Eq31st after the road teams dropped another hammer in upset results. That's where you, GG, should of been amongst the HRSQ candidates.

I thought he said he had matured

I'm worn out. I cannot pick for the life of me. Got Post Traumatic AE Disorder. Shell-shocked. A broken man.

The AE is littered with these kinda folk. We even have a competitor named 'Broken'. But he is doing extremely well. RedBullJunkie already has TWO WINS under his belt from three starts. Not bad for a newbie who has a scratchy idea of the game which he claims is helping him being more involved. He doesn't think about the match ups as much as we over-analyse. His chances for HRSQ are quite
reasonable and also getting past you on the CR standings by the season end as he's already knocked up almost 50% (215) of Kelzi's total.

So I get the group of death and danielz_23 gets an “Armchair” ride

Woe is me!

 

[Broken]

Party is over folks!

Next week is a calamity to tip!

3 teams on byes should cushion the blow, you'd hope.

HOT STREAK UPDATE

Hot Streak has got hot again! The past two weeks have been ripe picking for streaks as we witnessed a field of green ticks. The pack chasing the competition leading swannies had streaks that were heating up. crowman_23 led the pack on 10 followed by Bigredmachine on 9, JeffDunne and Island Bomber on 8 and a mass of streaks of 7 and 6.

Of that group, they all avoided the Thursday night old man Flacco vs Matt Moore showcase and turned their attentions to London. 47 tipsters loaded up on the Vikings and 47 streaks increased by 1.
Oakland-Buffalo was another well avoided matchup unlike the following game, Colts-Bengals, that saw many load up on the Bengals.
With the Colts holding a 6 point lead early in the last quarter many streaks were looking to end, including many of the front runners. A couple of Dalton sacks and Colts had the lead, and the ball, with 7 1/2 minutes left in the game.
Enter Hot Streak saviour Carlos Dunlap! His pick which he TOOK TO THE HIZZLE FOR SHIZZLE (that's still a thing isn't it?) gave the Bengals a one point lead, which they held on to the relief of the 39 streaks facing wipe outs.

The Patriots, Saints and Eagles wins boosted a lot of streaks, while many avoided the later Sunday games. By the time Monday rolled around we had many, many streaks in double figures. The chasing pack was still headed by crowman_23 with jeffdunne, hide & Zeke, statsman74 and bgt2110 close behind and within range of swannies.

Only 4 of the above bunch took a punt on MNF, and they all chose the Chiefs. Their win moved crowman_23 in to a tie for the Hot Streak lead with 16 followed by JeffDunne, Hide & Zeke on 14 and Statsman74 on 13 to be tied with bgt2110
Close behind there are 8 streaks currently on 12 and also within range of the lead.

Will crowman_23 or any of the chasing pack be able to push past swannies and his 16, or will we once again return to Hot Streak carnage in Week 9?

I give up on tipping NFL, in fact the NFL in general. First Watson does his ACL in non-contact training and now the Jets teaching the Bills a lesson. My tip of the Bills in AE started out at 5 CR but got pushed higher and higher after trying to tip the other games. Ended up with 12 CR on them

I reckon it's hard to be confident on most divisional games. Especially Thursday night games. These teams know one and another well. So they know their weaknesses as well as anyone. So if any team is likely to cause an upset it's a divisional rival. Throw the Thursday night game factor into the mix & most of these games should be low CR.

Shit news on Watson.

 

[Rack Watts]

So weird, on my phone I couldn't set my line up, it kept saying it was week 2. I was going to put 8CR on the Bills to win Woodson can you backdate that for me? I don't feel like profiting 7 points because my phone is shit lol.

 

[arakaan]

After some analysis and seeing the following facts

* Blake Bortles and Tom Brady have combined for 5 Super Bowl Titles, 4 Super Bowl MVP Awards, 12 Pro Bowls, and 2 NFL MVP Awards.
* Playoff Game Losses Andy Dalton: 4 Blake Bortles: 0

I must put 13CR on the Jags.

That's not the way we go about it around here.. you miss TNF for one reason or another... that's how it was meant to be.. 1CR Road team / Bills.

TNF Week 9 Wrap: Leading into this AFC East Divisional contest, the Bills D were the #1 team with the most take aways (17) with the overall leading differential of +14 (#1 in the League). On the flip side, the Jets had coughed up the ball 14 times already this season (equal fifth). What transpired was the complete opposite. The Jets D dictated terms early and kept the in-form Bills off-balance. In a low scoring first half, the Jets held a 10-7 lead with the Bills believing that the Jets would fade as they have done in their previous three losses however, it was the J-E-T-S who amped up their game in the third Q and not the Bills who looked lost and rudderless. The Jets scored two TD's in the third Q from long drives and despite the Bills coughing up three turnovers, only their last turnover early in the last Q was converted into points as ex-Bears RB, Matt Forte, barrelled thru the Bills D for his second score of the game to literally ice the game at 24-7 even though the Bills generated two junk time scores after the Jets extended their score to 34-7. It was a breath of fresh air for the likes of patient Jets fans, mcgarnacle and matt_897 , who have listed themselves amongst the 'Inside the Bufferzone' this week that has spiked up 9% from last week, now showing 69% of those listed, come thru with an ND victory.

Haha, alright. I will take it.
Guilt free advantage. I'd have tipped the Bills for sure. Big advantage lol

 

[Jatz]

I'm having an absolute stinker of a week. Going to have my 2nd ND loss.

[aussiedude]

these late afternoon games have not been nice to me this season.

 

[Marklar_33]

Why is the site showing Red Bull Junkie still in it?

 

[crowman_23]

The Seahawks loss has given me some nice breathing space in Hot Streak as well!
