Oprano Football Pick'em

[Vick]

6 weeks left in the NFL season, still a lot of players have a shot at winning the big prize
I've narrowed the field down to players 6 games or less back, as at this time of year it is hard to make up more than 1 game a week on average

PornDaddy - Good shot at winning it all, has a 2 game lead with 6 weeks too go - important to not take any bad weeks. Tough to be the front runner though, no where to hide. PornDaddy's current wining % of 58.8 was where last years winner ended for the season

KarenFold - Sentimental favorite - was great to see KarenFold get her first weekly win this year, has been close to the top all season. I think she has an outstanding shot to take it all. Will need to finish strong

Monk - Intelligent guy, has a fair shot. Monk needs to believe he can do it. Keep your head down and do what you've done so far

Bobinator - Is the Bobinator staring to fade? - was it a case of too much too soon or can the Bobinator catch fire again?

Ambergirl - What is Ambergirl's pick 'em success secret? Is it actual football knowledge or pretty helmet colors? Can a 100% sweetheart with a good business head pull it off? Winning the pool I mean - what were you perverts thinking?

TondaWEGCash - won 2 weeks outright this year, needs another big week to be there at the end - either way still bitch of the year

YNOTBob - OK, YnotBob? 5 games back with 6 weeks to go, needs to get hot and stay hot

Hell Puppy - 6 games back with 6 weeks left, time left for you to make your move

howard perkiss - howard, oh where for art thou howard? You're in 8th place that's where the fuck you are! Are you headed for the top?

Mike AI - As the Saints go so goes MikeAI - the Saints are hot this year and so is MikeAI - but the Saints aren't surprising anyone the rest of the year - Can MikeAI be there at the end? Can MikeAI have dinner with himself ? (Please see Colin and JR about space time and meeting yourself, not that I can understand a fucking thing they'll say but they'll know about it - somehow)

ulfie - I would have called Ulfie the favorite to win it all until this week, good sports head and understands betting - problem may be that Ulfie is too attached to the Steelers. Needs to bounce back from this week

Wizzo - Another webmaster resource site owner in the fray. Will need big weeks to win it all


Biggest disappointments of the year - KK not playing
My overall record (it's disappointing to me, the rest of you can watch me eat humble pie)
Sykk's week 10 record - I heard a rumor that there was no chicken blood readily available at the Sykk household that weekend and the VCR player ate some B movies (am guessing B movies don't come on DVD)


Keys to winning - don't take any bad weeks (by bad I mean more losses that wins for that week)
Stick with what you've been doing - if you've be winning picking pretty helmets, random button, going by team who's Quarterback has the best ass or spending 2 hours going over stats don't change now - stick with what got you this far
Finish Strong - This year's winner will be who gets hot and stays hot down the stretch

and the best prize really is dinner with MikeAI and Serge


Tied after 11 weeks for the "Billy" Prize
el pres
Jeff

Close behind (or is it ahead)
SD Simon
HankMrSkin
SilentBob
Milan
Anthony


Good luck and best wishes too all

p.s. I won't name who I think is going to win as I don't want to jinx them

Its possible to 'time travel' by creating and somehow manipulating a wormhole, but all you are doing is essentially slowing down the time around you (once you pass through) so you end up traveling backwards in but only within known bounds. Meaning if you started up a wormhole in 1920 you might be able to traverse time between then and now, but you can't make time spin backwards via this method; you can only do such things as slowing down aging (assuming our body's natural clock is affected by this type of force) or enabling travel over long distances in smaller increments of time. Rather than speeding yourself up you'd be slowing everything else down.

Wormholes are within our scientific grasp, but the ability to get them bigger than atom-sized are nowhere near ready.

And meeting yourself is impossible, as far as this method goes. So despite the slightly added expense, Mike would be doomed to failure in such a meal.

[Almighty Colin]

Vick - you know your winning percentage from last year? Curious.

[Monk]

I think I can.... I think I can.... I think I can

choo-choo!!!

[Vick]

Colin - 58%

Cal - thanks .... and I'll see you at Milliways (The restaurant at the end of the Galaxy and time)

[Billy]

Vick look at the bottom of this weeks picks, what happen to this group, your better half and my better half were suviovors but heck they both sucked this week !! Ulfice .. hahahaha.. just like Pittsburg !!

KC and Miss Eve.. did yall copy : )

206 ulfie 5 11 0 31.3 8* **
206 MissEve 5 11 0 31.3 10* **
206 KC 5 11 0 31.3 18* **
215 spudz 4 12 0 25.0 37 **

217 DMoney 3 13 0 18.8 37 **
217 Angel 3 13 0 18.8 25* **

:nyanya:

[Vick]

I noticed that Billy
Guess they went as far as they could in the survivor pool

Maybe KC and Miss Eve used the same random, pretty helmet, city with better symphony orchestra picking method

I have no idea what happened to Ulfie - maybe the planets were in a unfavorable alignment for the Steelers and their fans this weekend

[Edd]

I suck at pickem - even using Chaos theory for my picks... I'll just have to kick EricP's ass and take HIS playstation! :grrr:

[Mike AI]

It is definately coming down to the final weeks...

I have not had a GREAT week yet, but I have been pretty consistent. Of course the Saints ARE fucking me on many levels.... :steemed:

As far as winning, I am NOT eligible to win any of the prizes, I am wanting to win for bragging right only.... So if I come in first, 2nd place gets all the loot. IT would be nice for that to happen!

Maybe I can try and sweet talk KK into helping me with picks... I know she knows much more then I do. Of course she would probably tell me to shove a dancing carrot :cdance: up my butt :moon: which would give me a look like :zoinks:


I love the smilie face stuff!!

[Almighty Colin]

Mike - overrating your favorite team's ability to beat the spread? :nyanya:

[Vick]

Of course the Saints ARE fucking me on many levels...

Do they at least kiss you first?

Hve to go look to be sure but picking the Saints would have been a good bet for the first 3-4 weeks of the season as they weren't expected to be as strong a team as they have proven to be

[Mike AI]

Colin, I would rather care about W's then the spread for the Saints. But they cannot even make that happen against weaker teams! :butt:

[Almighty Colin]

Mike - at least the AINTS are gone.

You and I have suffered many years of bad favorite pro football teams.

[ulfie]

I definately sucked this week. Hopefully, I can recover. At least the Steelers play the Bungles this week so it should be an easy pick. Of course, if they lose to the Bungles at home I may jump off the tallest structure I can find. :rolleyes:

[Mike AI]

Yeah Ulfie, Saints are playing the Browns at home, we need to win... if not I may join you on that building!

:steemed:

[Mutt]

I think somebody could still win 10 wins back. You would have to get very hot though. I'm 10 wins behind, if I were to have a week like Eric had this week, 13 wins, next week i'd be right in the thick of it. Same with about 20 or 30 other people 6-10 wins behind with 6 weeks to go.

i gotta check out who's in the running for the Billy Award - it goes to the player who has the worst record, to qualify though for the prizes you have to have made all the picks yourself. I have to go through it manually to find out who's eligible.

[Hell Puppy]

I was hanging tough til this week and got my every loving ass kicked.

Guess that's what I get for picking after drinking lots of AL4A and Shemp's liquor last Friday.

Fortunately I see Tonda and a couple of others had a bad week too.

[Tonda_WEGCash]

Yeah I sucked last week! I think I was more into playing Uno than picking football. (Didn't pick games until Sunday morning at around 3 AM! )

I am all on it this week though. I want to win so kiss my :moon:

Just Kidding! You know it is the whole bitch thing.

everything i can think of that will keep you away from a computer ... and being that there is 23 of you, i'll let you amuse yourselves in the basement.

just be sure to wash the equipment when your done ;-)))

[Angel]

I wanted to thank the guys at Zooted.com for the XBox. It came today!
The contest was fun : )

[Vick]

Angel - is that why Billy hasn't posted tonight? New toy in your house? :D

CJ - you could keep all the guys (and girls for that matter) in the 23 ahead of you busy by telling them there is a nude picture of you somewhere on the nternet .... it's up to them to find it he he he

[Billy]

No Vick.. Mike dragged me away for a secret meeting at "Ricks" to see if we can take over the world.

I think we may have found a way to do it !!

All I can say now is Goose :awinky:

[ulfie]

That goose wouldn't be gray by any chance? :D

[Billy]

Ulfie.. where did you hear that ???

I am sorry to say this.. and I know you have never heard this before..
BUT... YOU know to much !!!!


I am sorry but we are going to have take you out, or make you watch an entire Steelers game !!

:grrr:
