I am in 206th place

[Rictor]

In the football pool. I guess I should stop by the board more often so I don't miss out on these things. :(

The last time I checked I was like 154th or so. At one point today I was at 58th place, tied with a bunch of other people starting at 40th. But then the spreads got me on the late games :(

I stuffed up big time ;-(

I forgot how the spread worked by mixing up the over or under part, so i guessed exactly the opposite of what i meant to guess (based on a complex formula using the spread) ... if i picked what I meant to pick, (based on my complex formula), i would be 11-4 instead of 4-11 and inside the 10 :headwall: :headwall: :headwall:

You'd think i'd remember by the 3rd season of pickem :rolleyes:

can someone explain to me which way the + and - go? :biglaugh:

if a team is +5 *they* have to get that many extra points or the other team does? :huh:

CJ - if a team is +5 you add 5 points to their score

Example - this past week Baltimore was getting 5.5 points against Pittsburgh (line showed Baltimore +5.5 or Pittsburgh -5.5)

Final score was Pittsburgh 34 Baltimore 15

Add 5.5 to Baltimore final score and you have Pittsburgh 34 Baltimore 20.5

so Pittsburgh still won against the line (or covered the spread)

If you chose Pittsburgh you won, you lost if you had Baltimore

thank you vick :okthumb:

i'll try to reverse my picks this week :biglaugh:
