At least I get a momentary visit to first place (unlike last year)

 

[Jim_F]

I predict I'll do relatively OK at Pigskin Pick'em, bad at College Pick'em, and just stink up the place at Gridiron Challenge. I'll stand by that forecast.

Sometimes I amaze myself.

Tough weekend coming up. I've already changed two of my picks, and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a 6 or 7 point spread form high to low among active players this week.
I can only hope that it doesn't affect the standings.

 

[Wayne Bundrick]

Damn it Jim , it's tough just to keep up with you but I'm slowly losing ground. At 97.4% you've outclassed us. Did you get the two picks you changed or would you be even further in the lead if you hadn't changed them?

 

[Jim_F]

I just can't seem to get any breathing room. One bad week and my little lead will be history. I broke even on my changes, I originally had NE and HOU. Started out 7-1 on the early games, but came crashing back to earth for the rest of the day.
I'm really breaking away from the pack in Gridiron Challenge, though. :frowning:

Jeez Wayne! Talk about a full-court press! (GMTA)

Good name, BTW.

-Jim (W.) F.

 

[Wayne Bundrick]

Huh? What's GMTA?

 

[Jim_F]

(Great minds think alike)

I think our picks were identical, except for 1 game.

 

[Wayne Bundrick]

Oh. Hadn't seen that acronym before.

The scoresheet's been broken for a day and a half but now it's working again. I'll bet the espn.com programmers forgot about a tied game result and the Falcons/Steelers result broke the scoresheet.

The only game we disagreed on was Washington/Jacksonville, and I came up on the losing end of that one. I'm still losing ground. Whenever our picks differ, it's in your favor and you gain another point on me.

 

[Jim_F]

Well Wayne, our picks would have been identical this week if I hadn't made a last minute homer-based switch to my local home 'dogs.

Will it be considered cheating if I go to the game and cheer extra loud?

 

[Wayne Bundrick]

Argh. I can't catch you if we keep making the same picks!

 

[Jim_F]

Note to self: Resume picking against the Lions. It's never a disappoinment when they win, and when they predictably lose, there remains the consolation point.
