saints or ravens for me, but which?

both look good Tom

I'm in... 44 joined up!

who else has picked NO and layed them on here?

I TAKE IT ALL THOSE WITH NO PICKS ARE PICKING THE RAIDERS



RAM DAVE IS ELIMINATED

Yeah that was a pretty bad result :(

could see your thinking but after last year i was taking the biggest certainty of the lot

took seattle seahawks

im trying to save the so called big guns for later stage

a few sweating on the Pats ;)

i only picked the patriots cos i forgot all about it until all the sunday games had finished. it was them or san diego really. couldnt really go with oakland or flubbalo.

12 WHO WERE NOT ARE NOW


ELIMINATED

Bad weekend

Eliminator - Gone (Titans)

Roll on week 3 :)

should think we all got through this week

i took a chance and picked baltimore. i like to live life dangerously!

me too :)

3 or 4 have actually gone this week

was
hou
pitt

should of picked washington last week like me :)

how does this work ?

ive just joined as Gary Binosh1, im on dallas for 2moro night

when someone gets chance could you please explain how this works, and if im at a big diasdvantage started late and so on, cheers

you pick a team each week but can only pick each team once

but am i at and advantage or dis for starting 2 weeks later

you cant win starting now, playing for your own amusement

right, ok, yep might aswell

is it one lose and you're out or do you play every week till the end ?

you can carry on picking if you want if you get one wrong

so basically just to see how many you can get right over the season ?

ok, cheers for that tommuch appreciated , ill go and listen to free fallin as a thank you :)

:)

although he has about 15 better songs than that imo

cant say i know too many of his songs tbh, but im a big fan of free fallin :)

it's all on spotify

ron nasty did a tom petty top 50 thread on chit chat

ill have to check it out, spotify's great

you and Ron must get along well, as your both such big tom petty fans

yes, i think he's just about the perfect bloke

you wanna ditch that tom petty stuff and try my chemical romance imo

:)

everybody seems to have got through this week?
a few not made a pick though...

how does 3 out of 4 work out as 58.2%?

I thought when you got a wrong pick, you stopped?

Can you carry on?

you can carry on yeah.

safely through

crusied through with the 49ers

who we on this week?

think i'm taking the eagles

G-I-A-N-T-S

Mr Jacobs can have as many yards as he wants this week!!

Cobblers, I stopped after Tennessee lost in Week 2(?) :(

Apologies to the organiser.

eagles, got to be, saving the giants

actually want to change to the g men but the thing playing silly buggers, would prefer to save the eagles

starting to p1ss me off now, lets me change week 8 no problem, but not this week

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

after trying like ** to change to the giants, i'm stuck with the eagles, no idea why it wouldn't let me change


i think the eagles were worth keeping more than the g-men

maybe i'll take the giants vs the cowboys :)

had an e-mail about their c0ck up this week, i'm stuck with the eagles it seems

interesting...i had no trouble changing...i had the giants...changed to the eagles...then changed back again to the giants! i wasnt sure which one i wanted to keep!

i ballsed this up last year cos my brain had a katie price moment. i thought...right so you can only pick each team once...so i think i picked detroit or something like that to get them out the way cos i had to pick them to beat somebody...for some reason my brain didnt realise that theres 32 teams and only 17 weeks so i dont have to use ALL the teams!

if my brains were gunpowder i couldnt blow my nose etc etc :)

i went in week 1 last year

damn colts

i went in week 1 last year

damn colts

double post

damn betfair

SPOILT FOR CHOICE AGAIN THIS WEEK

Going for the Jags this week despite last weeks woeful display. The rams are simply too bad

i had them locked in before last week

steelers or the J E T S JETS JETS JETS for me

Week 11 is tricky... I have got the Lions in atm!!!!

picking now i'd take the cards or MJD

Crazy to not save the Cards until week 16 given the way the rules as to a winner work.

what do you mean?

If you go 17-0 the way a winner is selected is on a countback from week 17 picking those whose team scored the most points in week 17 then 16 etc. So the match ups that you save for week 17, 16, 15 etc. are the most important in the whole game. Id rather save the Cards at home in week 16 to the Rams than waste them in week 11 away to the Rams.

didn't know that, ty

although the rule seems unfair to me
the total of your teams winning margins seems a better way to me

2 more bite the dust

Never doubted the Jags for a second :D

First real tough weekend for me here as i have already used NE
I think 19 of us left

16 left now? Getting tough for me, not many great teams left.

its surprising how easy its been so far. should have had a rolling accumulator, ok all short prices but still must be adding up by now.

getting tougher though. gonna have to be either seattle, atlanta or new orleans for me this week. kinda think new orleans may be better to save plus carolina are weird ya never know they may have one of their rare good days.

There is still 17 of us left but i reckon only 1 may reach it till week 17, one of the real short bankers will wipe half the field out in 1 week imo

on the packers this week.Can't trust seattle,even against detroit.

:_| packers!

more than half the field was going out when seattle were 17-0 down and new orleans similar. 14 left now.

Impressive effort by the league, well done to the 100% chaps.

Dolphins this week for me :)

minnesota i think.

Was gonna be cheeky and use the colts but i have to opt for minnesota as its a demoiliton job imo and will look good when were sorting out the points when im 17-0

Vikes + Fins popular today

we only lost one last night, would have been carnage if the Dolphins had been beaten !!

Picks are getting pretty tough. Gone with Dallas this week.

yup im on the cowgirls too.

cant bloody stand romo but if they cant beat the redskins at home they wanna give up and start playing dodgeball

Wow, Cowboys could eliminate a lot of us today.

romo is such a gimp. i had 300 on dallas pre-game then managed to lay it all off at the same price in-running when it started looking a bit ropey. probably still win but definitely wasnt looking a 1.2 shot, glad to get out of the bet.

never in doubt lol

Copied from the Eliminator site (A bit harsh on JC)


The stumbling Bears head to Minnesota for a meeting with the surging Vikings. Minnesota QB Brett Favre has dominated when protected adequately from opposing pass-rushers this season, and the Bears must get to him early in hopes of disrupting what has evolved into an elite Minnesota passing offense. The Vikings will not force Favre's hand, though, unless it means "handing" off, as the team likely will seek to gash the Bears' generous rush defense throughout, asking less of the 40-year-old quarterback than in previous outings. The Bears must do the same, although for different reasons, and put the ball in the hands of rusher Matt Forte and the emerging RB Kahlil Bell, alleviating the pressure on struggling and spastic QB Jay Cutler.

lmao. harsh but fair imo! :) id do the laughing smiley but i can never remba how to do it!

only 3 left

There are still 10 who havent made there pick for this week yet.

yeah soz, I didn't see that

only 8 left unbeaten now, pittsburgh houston and umm pats wiping out 5.
