Probably the arsiest 5-1 in the history of..of...arses!

ND best start FYI. 8-5 in 2008 is your finest season, edging out last seasons 7-5 record as the second winning season.

55-63-1 / .466 Your only match up against peterbuch74 was in Week 8 of 2016 / LOSS 58-67.

That milestone 50th win come in Week 12 last season against the 3XKO champ, PHX .

TNF Week 7: The 2-4 Broncos getting lukewarm support as a vast majority not buying into this contest.
PHX is coming out strong to ride the Broncos in the Boomer Esiason Division Powerplay vs JeffDunne
who has 3 on the Cards. The AE Leaderboard have more ticks on the Cards (4-2) but it's only 7-7 total CR.
No 3XKO love despite RiggoDiesel44 still in contention having double digit CR.

So glad I changed from Cardinals 9CR to 1CR. They are ****ing terrible.

Pretty much a tumbleweed gameday for the AE.

However, there was ONE shootout exhibition with BabyGotDak vs Swannies.

For a 3XKO bunny team at 1-5, we sure messed up that opportunity. So it's a matter of do we pick on dear Eli under the MNF spotlights or perhaps dial up L for Lucky in Indy ?

Can we have some big upsets now. Thanks for stopping the 2PC Chargers

 

[balmainforever]

Why is the kc cincy game locked for?

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

If you're going to lose your "hot streak" try and have it done by anyone but your own team.

But seriously...way to hold that 17-0 lead in the 4th quarter at home Eagles.

Fair enough. The search for a Zen master who can answer it will continue....

Already 13 results are in the Week 7 books.
Of the remaining 19 to be determined, all but three of the remaining contests need a to be CHALLENGED to get a result.
The undefeated Pedge7 doesn't need to do anything much it's a relatively win/win situation as he leads Starlin Castro (5-1) who is in the box seat for the win but the 'win' for Pedge7 (6-0) is all about Kadog (2-4) denying Oscarman (4-2) so Pedge's buffer doesn't shrink to a game. BornAgainIdiot (6-0) has a possible tie unfolding against Bipolarbear (3-3) which is pretty much as good as a win in their current situations. Jatz (5-2) is undoubtably the BIG WINNER of the day as he is in the HRSQ box seat, considering his threat (& bitch) TCol (3-4) lost in an upset to @Osmodair (3-4) and fuey (2-5) is three week toast sitting idle in the Sterling Sharpe toaster.

Hello gravity

The pressure of playing me was just too great for you to bear.

Yes ...I'll have to put away my dreams of the triple and simply focus on the confidence and 3X championships.

NOTE: Score adjustment to MARKLAR33 : He alerted me yesterday during late games that his low CR did not stick. Glitch. I sent selected via text to JeffDunne at 7.36am Monday. Hoping there would be an adjustment by this morning. Nothing doing.

So for adjustments: MARKLAR33 (3-3) is on 65 (not the adhoc adjusted 71) with his Indy 3, Houston 2 adding to the listed 70.

SimonOz (3-3) is 74 before MNF. As Marklar_33 didn't challenge for the NYG, this becomes a dead rubber as 6CR on Falcons not enough to surpass SimonOz. Max score for Markler_33 is 76.

All I know is that somehow I find myself in first place in same division as overall CR leader

With tiebreaker in hand

Who says I can't be the next GM for the Browns

No my track record in AE would suit being Browns GM (or Raiders)

HOT STREAK UPDATE

​

We're continuing to see a very cautious approach to Hot Streak. When you consider 27 has been this competitions best ever score, aiming for just a few winners each week isn't that bad of a strategy.
That being said, it doesn't always go to plan.
A11dAtP0w3R sat atop the Hot Streak leaderboard coming in to this week and only had a nibble at a handful of teams. He found the Chargers to his liking as he moved to 13, but the Eagles (against his own Panthers) left a bad taste in his mouth as his streak ended on 13.
Chism went from 11 to 12 on the back of the Patriots win, but the Jags failed him as he also bombed out.

However, there were a lot more success stories surging past the fallen leaders.
Hide & Zeke went from 11 to a competition leading 15
simonoz moved from 11 to be close behind on 14, where he is joined by statsman74 who added 5 correct games this week.
Oscarman found the Los Angeles teams to his liking as he moved from 11 to 13 and we have a group on 12 with 11sjw making the biggest leap (from 7) to join Kadog Island Bomber and peterbuch74 to be 3 off the pace.
