I think I am trying yet another approach to best 3-3 this week....I shall pick my games BEFORE I see the spread. Logic dictates this cannot fail!

I actually did that the week I went away on vacation and went 4-2..so its a foolproof system.

SWEET!

I'll start with the airing of the grievances: All you people are picking better than me this year, I have a problem with that!

Thanks Eric, you too!

You did leave out 'Holiday'
(From the Wiki entry on Flying Spaghetti Monster / FSM / Pastafarianism religion and their celebration of holidays. ALL HAIL THE F.S.M.! <the appropriate pirate response is, 'rAmen.'>)
Holidays
Around the time of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa, Pastafarians celebrate a vaguely defined holiday named "Holiday". Holiday does not take place on "a specific date so much as it is the Holiday season, itself". Because Pastafarians "reject dogma and formalism", there are no specific requirements for Holiday. Pastafarians celebrate Holiday however they please.[36] Some web forums also mention "Pastover" as a parody of Passover,[37][38] and "Ramendan" as a parody of Ramadan.[39]

Pastafarians interpret the increasing usage of "Happy Holidays", rather than more traditional greetings (such as "Merry Christmas"), as support for Pastafarianism.[36] In December 2005, George W. Bush's White House Christmas greeting cards wished people a happy "holiday season",[40] leading Henderson to write the President a note of thanks, including a "fish" emblem depicting the Flying Spaghetti Monster for his limousine or plane.[41] Henderson also thanked Wal-Mart for its use of the phrase.[42]

Lol, I'm a little bit OCD, I can't help it!

Yeah this thing is still up for grabs!

ed243421

playoffs?


are we gonna do a pool for another $20?


horos suggested this -

We always do a March Madness style bracket for the NFL playoffs. I don't know if there is a place to do it online. Basically you get one point for picking the Wildcard round, 2 for the Divisional games, 3 for the Conference championship and 6 for the SuperBowl. We make all the picks before the playoffs start.


my suggestion was this -

1st playoff weekend = 4 games

2nd playoff weekend = 4 games

3rd playoff weekend = 2 games

super bowl = 1 game

total of 11 games

most wins against the spread wins..

but we need a tiebreaker

i'm thinking something like..

the first game each weekend ( the saturday early game) is the game we use

you have to guess total points scored for the game

we do this each week, as long as there is a mathmatical chance that we would finish with a tie



any more suggestions?

let's talk it out and see what we like

ed243421

this could be added to my idea?????


20 games picked against the spread

the 11 pro games

and

we pick 9 of the big ncaa bowl games against the spread

i'd prefer to keep with the nfl if that is alright..

Same here

The Waiting Trophy Man

I'd be down with doing 2 more pools. I like Horos' idea and I also like Ed's idea (minus the ncaa part). I would also suggest picking the final score in both pools to avoid ties - this could be done on the morning before each game.

20 bucks each pool.

I suggest the tiebreaker should be the Superbowl game.
