Great weekend ahead with 4 excellent (well at least intriguing) matches being televised. In addition - Indy @ Cincy features two division leaders, plus 2 games which are (more or less) elimination games for both teams (Miami excepted, but loss is very damaging). Each of the seven matches are tricky.

Positions after the 2 early games - roller-coaster like the games
 , finally settled with 8 of the 14 tied at the top on 5 points. 2 games at 9.30pm, the BIG one Seahawks at 49ers. Combined wisdom says Chargers but 3 of the top 8looking for the Giants, big split on Seahawks/49ers. Winners:- Eagles, Bengals, Dolphins +5 - Clay Davis (Lions, Bengals, Dolphins, 49ers, n/c, Panthers, n/c) +5 - db1974 (Eagles, Bengals, Steelers, 49ers, Chargers, Saints, Cowboys) +5 - DirkDiggler (Eagles, Bengals, Steelers, Seahawks, n/c, n/c, n/c) +5 - Lance in France (Eagles, Bengals, Steelers, 49ers, Chargers, Saints, n/c) +5 - startedOct..

So, obvious from early on that Chargers were an easy 3 points, and a lot hinged on Seahawks and 49ers - think Dirk and Wallflower would have led if Seahawks came through, but not to be. So TOP 4 can still win, also Clay can as well but needs a Panthers/Bears finish. Wallflower and sideshowbob can finish close but can't get top spot, i don't believe.

WF's had a few!!!

By:
saints should win. no idea why i didnt pick them.
 |
|
By:
would go for overs but Carolina usually low scoring

By:
..... I beg your pardon

By:
kinda weird how nobody in that leading group picked the dolphins.
|
|
By:
Australia by 218 runs, all over
.......... made 5.87 on the second test, made 0.13 on Seahawks/49ers |
|
By:
made 559.95 on the test match
|
|
By:
+99.95 on the snooker, +120.35 on the nfl, which is pretty good seeing as i lost 242 quid on the patriots game. i made 256.21 on the under 43.5 in the philly game, even though it went over easily in the end. good job i traded that one out!
ive bet on the saints to win, but carolina +3. only way i can make a profit is if new orleans win by 1-3 points. not sure why i done that, cos i think the saints will win easily. but im gonna go with it now i done it. |

By:
nice one sideshowbob
...... I was just over 120 down early, p1ssed-off with myself, broke my own rules - then had to get into "hard-work" mode to get back.....to evens, then Aus were so dominant, little opportunity fro me after that. Disappointed, as big test matches can be very lucrative. Very focussed for 3rd test. |

By:
despite the above picks I only had one bet today and that was under 49ers / Seahawks. I usually do best with fantasy bets

db1974 in prime position needing the favoured Cowboys in the final match, mind you, who would want to be relying on the
Cowboys!!if the Bears win then Lance ansd Started' will have come through.......I was going to have a tie-break, but we had joint winners last time, I suppose we can again. Respect and admiration for 2 forumites can be managed.

As part of my victory speech I'd like to thank my Mum and Dad for putting up with me during the early years when I listened to AFN Europe, my agent and everyone else I know. Right now I'd like to travel, meet people and hope for world peace. I love you all.
Also well done started and thanks to Wallflower for the competition - roll on next week. |
