Well, the important thing is CR didn't win.
I'm still hanging to a 2nd place overall, even if by a thread.

Hosa is almost beating me in the overall standings :/

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
Why is it that the picks are always so easy to make and it seems like you have it in the bag until everything goes horribly wrong?
Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
That's why they play the games, Sasaki. That old saw, "Any given Sunday" trips up more wagers on football than seems possible. I wouldn't have taken the Rams with the points versus Dallas this past week, let alone straight up...

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
Heehee. I always feel so smart the moment I've finished my picks. Then by Noon on sunday, I realize I'm dumber 'n a sack o' rocks.
On average, one sunday per season I'll be shown to've been brilliant.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
Ain't that da truth. "Dumb Luck Syndrome" is a specialty of mine in sports prognostication, and I probably used my one Sunday of brilliance last week. Isn't it nice to know one is consistent at some things?Heehee. I always feel so smart the moment I've finished my picks. Then by Noon on sunday, I realize I'm dumber 'n a sack o' rocks.

Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
Yeah, I'm extremely happy right now, but we're going to have to be able to score more points against the Giants I think.At this point I'll take what I can get
Re: Official 2008-09 NFL thread
This is true but Tampa had a good D. We just need to hold the fort until Romo gets back.

GH- 55 total points? Clearly, you've not watched many of the recent Colts/Titans games. Silly Philly.
