AE The Official AE16 Launch and Discussion Thread

[peterbuch74]

Damn I wonder if I still would've been eliminated if I didn't change to HOU for my ND matchup

That's the beauty of AE... need to factor all comps in when deciding to dive for the line in a Next Duel matchup.

 

[Papa Juggs]

Beauty of AE? I'm yet to find it. All I get is salt, heartbreak and defeat.

Christ. This week is a nightmare. Of all the weeks this week that have made me think "*, that was a bloodbath", I think this week might be the worst.

I've actually got a few bets including teams I haven't picked, cos there are upset alerts galore... which I guess fortunately leads to some good odds.

 

[Rack Watts]

Browns are going to beat the Jets this weekend.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Browns are going to beat the Jets this weekend.

That game is one of the "upset alerts" I mentioned earlier. I expect the Browns will win at least one game this season, and the Jets are the exact kind of team to drop one to them, especially coming off a win that, with Fitzpatrick's improvement, will have given Jets fans some hope again.

 

[balmainforever]

Especially if McCown starts.
Expect 2TDs to Barnidge this week including the game winner.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Who's the unlucky person facing me this week in ND?

The Browns are the gift that keeps on giving and anyone that doesn't put all 13 points on their opponent needs their head examined. Without them I would be tied with GG for first overall draft pick next year, so far.

Good to see two Jags fans go big on the titans. We know how s**t we are. No delusions here.

Exactly mate. My system dictated 11, 12 or 13. Pussied out and only went 11.

 

[arakaan]

Common sense would dictate Bradley should not be coach by Friday morning. He'll still likely be coach in week 17.

 

[aussiedude]

Im glad i changed to Tennessee today.

 

[Woodson]

Im glad i changed to Tennessee today.

After getting burnt by both teams last week, I was to gun shy to take either higher than 1CR. Last year's games (split) were both decided by less than a TD although the Titans made the score respectable on the first contest (19-13F). Too many simple mistakes by these lesser two teams doesn't garner much love from me. Home team decision this time around.

Those to take the Jags included: Gridiron Warrior, BPG and American Crow. All 4CR. The following were no shows: Jags 1CR: Bigmicka, Fitzy and Moo.

You have a system ? A lot of picks are simply pot luck

 

[Exe Gesis]

I have a system too.....not very good, broken half the time, but a system nonetheless

 

[nobbyiscool]

I definitely had a system when I won the double crown last year

This year suggests it was more arse than class though, cos the system sure as s**t hasn't worked the last 2 months.

[Bucketss]

Systems? I thought you just clicked on teams you liked more and then randomly shuffled them and pressed save?

That sounds like the "Like System" you're using there. Not bad.

Otherwise known as the tried and true--Cleveland Browns Analytical Method

 

[Exe Gesis]

So I've made a number of ballsy selections and some at high CR.
Boom or bust this week.
I don't feel pessimistic tho.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

System based on better QB? Just had a look last three weeks.

Week 5 - QB system 10-4 ...I tipped 9
Week 6 - QB system 12-3 ...I tipped 12
Week 7 - QB system 9-3 ...I tipped 7

Am I on to something...am I? Personally I don't think so

So what's new. It's the same every week with you.
