    No worries Demi thats the good thing with the spread is that your chances should be 50-50. Good luck though.
    Wish I was a polkologist then I could call my self Dr.warviper.

    Yes that first game will need to be pick prior to the game of course and the remainder will need to be picked by the dealine. The spreads are automaticlly loaded (i'll have to find out what site) so i have no control over those. I have played on this site for 3 years and just so you know There are many diff spreads so they might vary from places you might look. They arent Vegas Lines so dont worry about that :)

    So was that game a push or were the pats favored by 3.5? How are pushes handled?

    The Pats won the game but only by 3 points. The spread was 3.5 so if you picked the Colts, you won.

    Good, I didn't see the final line. Both teams looked really rusty last night....

    There were some good games this weekend. Bills Jags had a great finish, even though I wanted Buffalo to win. Also Broncos Chiefs was a good game, both running backs were very good, Griffen had some awesome runs.

    I hope I do better next week, though I probably wont if I keep picking the teams I want to win, damn Bills.

    After the Broncos/Chiefs game last night we got stuck in a huge traffic jam on the interstate. Finally got out of Denver and found 3 miles of interstate being paved, we krept along at 2-20 mph. Found yet a 3rd ongoing constuction project north of Colorado Springs and putted along another for a couple more miles. finally got home around 1:15 AM. The kids were beat but they both said it was worth it. We had a blast!! The only downside was the drunk next to me that wanted to chew my ear off after every play. Finally told him that I was busy with my kids and didn'tcare to discuss the game with him ( I have no patience with drunks). He went back to talking to fat-assed, drunk as skunk, **** lookin' girlfriend and they staggered out before half time.

    The game was great!! Lots of action, LOTS OF NOISE!! I'm so damn horse I can't even talk to my customers on the phone.:D

    I did a lot better than I expected on the pool as well, but not well enough to quit and gamble for a living.

    Spasticpitbull,
    Thanks for setting the pool up! My wife and kids are even ejoying keeping track of wins/loses. Can I call ya "The Commish"?

    Well...I made an outrageous pick for tonight and went with my home team, the Packers. I don't have high expectations, but if they win I think they'll clobber that spread. They're either going to show up to play or their not. 1st week is always the toughest because nobody has really seen the teams actually play a game.

    Actually he has 9 wins and you and i have 10 and we picked The Panthers and he picked GB. So if he wins it will be a 3 way tie with 10 wins. If not it will come down to the points between you and I :) Good Luck!

    Good luck though!

    Last night it said 10 wins on the site. I didn't even bother to look what games I got right. It said I was ranked 1st last night. An explanation would be cool. It's all for fun though so I don't really give a crap. The Pack is lookin' good thus far so hopefully we'll be having a three way later. :eek: :p;):p :eek:
