NFL Week 4: Pick the Winners

Hey NFL fans! The "Pick the Winners" game returns for its fifth season at this board. For those who have played before, you know how the drill goes. Newcomers: this is a fun and easy game to play. For each week of the regular season, all you have to do is pick which team you think will win each match-up and then place a point value on that game. For example, there are 14 games in Week 4, and it is your job to allocate points from the game you are most confident in (16 pts.) to the game you view as a toss-up (1 pt.). Therefore, points will be allotted in decreasing value from 14, 13, 12...all the way down to 1. *Remember, you CAN'T place the same point value on more than one game.*

At the end of each week, we will tally up the number of points each participant has earned based on correct predictions, and the person with the most overall points at that time will be crowned winner. We will also keep track of the weekly winners to determine the season champion. Sound simple? If you have any questions, feel free to post them at this thread.

Week 4 games:

Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh
New England vs. Buffalo
Oakland vs. Houston
Washington vs. Cleveland
New Orleans vs. Arizona
NY Jets vs. Miami
St. Louis vs. San Francisco
Indianapolis vs. Jacksonville
NY Giants vs. Green Bay
Philadelphia vs. Chicago
Atlanta vs. Carolina
Denver vs. Tampa Bay
Tennessee vs. San Diego
Kansas City vs. Baltimore

*Deadline: Sunday, Oct. 3 (1 PM EST)*

*trumpets blare as the reigning champion enters the building*

Where's Chris at?? He needs to show some respect and kiss the champ's feet.

You know, I could have won $70 on a $2 bet last week if the Vikings covered the spread. But noooooo, those damn Bears had to score a late TD to screw me over!! Don't you just hate when that happens? If you're going to lose the game, there's no point in beating the spread, right? Damn you Chicago!

Anyways, my picks for this week:

NY Jets - 14
St. Louis - 13
Philadelphia - 12 (Chicago better not beat the 10.5 spread)
Washington - 11
Denver - 10
Houston - 9
Baltimore - 8
Carolina - 7
New England - 6
Indianapolis - 5
Pittsburgh - 4
Green Bay - 3
Arizona - 2
San Diego - 1

Do it again, or it'll be considered a fluck

Luck is all part of the game. But like the saying goes, "You have to be good to be lucky."

One "lucky" week is good enough for me. Seeing my name as Week 3 Champion is like winning a ring. It doesn't matter if I don't win anymore because I'm already a champion, right?

Chicago's starting Jonathan Quinn (Jonathan Quinn!) under center, so I think your money's safe.

(Now, watch me having jinxed everything for you. )

Yeah, that's got me pretty confident. Most spreads I've seen have the Eagles as 8.5 favourites, but for some odd reason the odds I get are at 10.5. A little too high for my liking.

And here's some facts from Bill Simmons that got me a little worried about the dogs:

Quote:
Some gambling numbers from the first three weeks: The favorites are 20-24-2 (makes sense) ... so are the home teams (somewhat surprising) ... home dogs are just 4-4 (seems reasonable) ... and out of the 24 underdogs that covered, 17 of them won their game outright...
Hmmmmm.


You know something, we could use a few more NFL games in here. Add a game with the point spread, a suicide pool, and an over/under. Just another way to show off your NFL knowledge (or lack of knowledge).
