Here we are…on Thursday…but still not missed a week…and prior to 8pm!…Shaft delivers…Running Backs break loose…The best Receiver plays for which team?…13 is the luckiest number…Big Chief plays D…Familiar faces in our Champ and Chump positions…Down to the Lucky 7 Survivors…and some Milestones to celebrate in this week’s edition…
Well…at least it’s a step in the right direction…TDQBITU comes thru with a last minute TD to swap 3 WINs to PUSHes making us 11-12-4 on the weekend…out $100 and the vig…but there were some high spots…Huss managed a perfect 3-0 and Shannon ended ‘lossless’ at 2-0-1…Kevin goes 2-1-0 as Shawn falls 0-2-1 to end tied for the “lead” at a 52.8% win rate…
Everybody think positive thoughts as we need all the good karma we can get for our bankrolls…Everyone submitted plays on the early lines…the most popular play being “Why are the Saints getting points?”…Three units on that with another on the Over…Two non-Bucs believer plays on Philly…and everything else is scatter shot across the board…Hunter’s NCAA Lock of the Week is NIU…
Yeah yeah…Thursday…I know…the slack-ass tag is there…I got 99 problems but points ain’t 1…There were crazy points to be had this weekend including 99 in one game…20 different starters put up 20 or more…and another 15 were left on TBFL benches…Team of the Week comes down to 1 point again…Chump of the Week battle ends unexpectedly…Cowboys stats…lets get into it…
Brady snaps his streak toward the consecutive game with a touchdown title…Seattle falls to a bid of bad Luck…and 99 points…but not in the Overs we played means more bad news for the Virtual Piggy Bank…New blood in the contest did not help as Hernandez joins Gasper, Burgess, and Miller in the 0-Fer club in Week 5…Shannon managed only 1-2 betting on undefeateds…and everyone else goes 2-1…9-18-0 is a paltry 33.3% win rate sliding us another $1,170 into the hole…For the season we sit at 48-69-6 after 5 weeks…a 41.5% win rate and -$3,330…poor piggy…
Vikings, Steelers, Buccaneers, Redskins Don't start players from those teams.
Players wanted to quickly forget the Week 4 outcome as I was bombarded with picks before I even sent out the Tuesday Board…This week should be either Really Good or Really Bad as we are all on only a handful of games…5 players jumped on the early line where New England was getting 2½ at the Hilton…3 plays are on the Saints (with the over)…Double Shots on Kansas City, Seattle, and Atlanta…and Hunter got Kevin to jump in with him on his Lock of the Week – Ohio State…We normally do not allow late entries…but Hernandez just found out about the contest and insisted we let him play…he’s a fellow Dol-Fan and backs his picks up by taking them to the local STIB…so I allowed it…The virtual piggy bank needs all the help it can get…
Here we are Thursday again just before kickoff…Monday Night action almost delivers a Saints 3-fer…our 1st repeat award winner…Thrashers go Back-2-Back…The Giants find their lone bright spot…It takes 8 if you want in on this contest…The Jaguars suck…Thrashers goes Back-2-Back again…The M*A*S*H unit tents unravel…Chump Survivor…which brings us Streaking to a halt…
