You're welcome.... Kickbacks are always appreciated :)

And the dumbass that I am was going to take the over but decided to take NW instead. I was a happy camper in first half at least :fp:

Split my bar pool with one other guy. We both went 10-2 and picked 48 for the total tonight. Only won $37.50, but that's 3 times I've won in the first 5 weeks.

I wonder how long this goes on before people start getting really pissed at me. :D

I heard the lynch mob is getting ready. Two more weeks of winning, and they're coming for you.

I think the total prize pool is a good indication that they're pissed :D wasn't the pool in week 1 double what it is now?

The first week was $130 (I came in 3rd), week 2 was $125 (I won), dunno what week 3 was (I tied for 2nd), week 4 was $60 (I won), week 5 was $75 (I split).

So yeah, it's gone down but I expected that. Oh well, less $ but better odds.

YTD, I've put in $25 and got out $222.50. Like I said before, even if I lose the rest of the season, I'll finish ahead. Now, I just want to won as many times as possible. :nod:

You're probably right. Oh well, I'm enjoying taking these idiots' money each week. It helps pay my tab. :easy:

Oklahoma St. (-7.5) over TEXAS
Stanford (-20.5) over WASHINGTON ST.

Take a look at Purdue and Penn State - Purdue is getting 12.5

Not bad picks, that 50.5 for Buffalo vs NY Giants is the only one I'm worried about. Seems like a lot at first glance.

Both defenses blow. Both offenses can easily put up points.

At some point though Buffalo is going to get smacked, and their offense bottled up. I think this is the week.

Not when the Giants are missing half their starters. See Seattle game.

Just because you said that, now the game's going to end up being like 10-7 or something. :D

I'm with you know. A "W" is a "W" that is for sure and I don't care how it happens.

My picks for that pool are:

+10.5 Auburn vs. South Carolina
-2.5 A&M vs. Arkansas

STL/WAS (NFL) - Under 42.5
MIN over KC -1.5
MIN/KC - Over 39.5

Good call Eric on PSU.

Also damn Virginia ran over GT.
10-16-2011, 02:57 PM
JBHuskers

Well I'm going to go to 3-1 (damn GT) .... as the Bills and Giants are 24-24, FG will put at 51 (unless they tie :D)

My last game is overs and DAL/NE this afternoon.
10-17-2011, 05:01 AM
steelerfan

And Dallas/NE was a big under. Hopefully you don't feel as bad now, JB.

I went a pedestrian 8-4 in my bar picks and, unbelievably, I still have a shot to win. It's a slim chance though. There are 6 people tied at 8-4 so it comes down to the MNF total. I picked 43, but someone has 42 and someone has 44. The total has to be exactly 43 for me to win (not fucking likely), there are going to be some angry people if it is 43. :D

I lost yesterday with Detroit, Buffalo, Washington, and New Orleans.

3-2 still works for the overall pool. I'll take it. I'm 19-11 on the season (I somehow forgot to put in a pick 5 in week 2 :smh:) and 6 games out of first.

http://Sportsbook.com says it has a bettor that took 49ers to win title before the season. Bet $700 at 200/1, would win $140K.

That guy has to be excited, but I say he'll be out $700 at the end of the year.

Yeah even if you have a first round bye, it's still gonna be a crapshoot to that point.

Yeah. I just can't imagine Alex Smith and the 49ers winning the Super Bowl this year.

No me either, even if they get Brandon Lloyd. Though Smith is finally coming around.

I think they've just been lucky. They'll fall apart as the season goes on.

He's going to the Rams so that shoots that down - JasonLaCanfora: Brandon Lloyd is being dealt to the Rams. More to come on NFL.com and NFL Network

Also just saw the Raiders may try and get Carson Palmer. I kind of forgot about him. That would be an interesting move

6th rounder. Turns into a 5th rounder if Lloyd catches 30 more passes this season.

I heard this morning that the Raiders are trying to get Orton from the Broncos now.

Holy shit!!! According to Darren Rovell, a dude hit a 15-team parlay. $5 to win $100k.
