You can pick against them up to three times but you cannot repeat your Week 1 pick for them.
 
Crazy close games this weekend.

Patriots almost lose to the Texans at home and need a miraculous Tom Brady drive down the field with less than 2 minutes left. :eek:
Philadelphia blows a huge lead against New York, allowing all of the G-men's 24 points to come in the 4th quarter - finally winning the game on a 61-yard field goal as time expired. :eek:
Green Bay was getting beaten all day by Cincy, Rodgers throwing a pick-six for only the 2nd time in his career, and he was sacked 6 or 7 times. They needed OT to win the game by a field goal. :eek:

Weeks like this make me glad I don't bet on games - the spreads were ridiculous considering how close these games were.
Yeah my point differential is toast by now. I'm just hoping everyone else is eliminated by the end of the season. :)

At this point, I think we'll be lucky to make it passed week 5 or 6.

In one league, I've gotten so lucky the first 3 weeks.

Week 1: Took Atlanta and Chicago dropped the game winning TD twice, and Atlanta stopped them on 4th down to end the game.
Week 2: Picked Seattle who was outplayed by San Fran for much of that game, and trailed 9-6 in the 4th quarter. They had to hang on to win 12-9, and they were at home too.
Week 3: Took New England who needed a game winning drive engineered by Brady and Cooks with less than 2 minutes left in regulation and they trailed the Texans by 5 points.

I can't wait to see how Week 4 goes!

You didn't even mention the pick Brady threw that couldn't be controlled to the ground. Or the fumble recovery.

New England is not good this year. They're lucky but not good.

Took a win off the board but would have been destroyed on points. Silver lining in a black cloud.

Seattle by 10 instead.

Lol, well let's hope Seattle pulls through. I think I'd rather have made it through the week, even with an obliterated point total, because let's face it, it's extremely unlikely anyone is going to run through the entire season undefeated. I think I just take it week by week and feel like I'm lucky to make it to the next week. Sports are maddeningly frustrating to predict sometimes.

Despite Seattle's struggles, they enjoy possibly the best home field advantage of the remaining games (NE now dubious) and their opponent travels to the West Coast, where they were obliterated by the Rams in Week 1. I'm probably low on the spread but I have to see Seattle score 20+ points two weeks in a row before I'll bump that.

You are fourth but trail your squeeze, the leader, by only 10 points.

Yeah well we are equal in our own tipping comp right now, so if he wins this, he better make sure I win ours lol :p although so far my dad is winning he's on 31 and we are on 27, this week I tipped one different to them so hopefully I'm the one that succeeds this weekend, they went Titans, I went Texans! ;)

I saw the McCissick TD run to get us ahead. By the time my other show had finished, Seattle had added 3 more TDs. Gives you the huge point edge now. Only @AustinTx24 can stay with you on that front if he nails the KC result tomorrow night.

He always says he's **** at tipping comps but he seems to go alright in this one ...seems I remember he won last years first Rd he might go back to back!! ;)

I am finnish. :(

I guess I'll head to Amsterdam and hangout with Finnish! ;)

Freakin' Cowboys, I knew there was a reason why I stopped being a fan of theirs many years ago... Now this only confirms that I made the right decision.

If there's one thing I know about women, it's that they're always smarter than we think they are, but not nearly as smart as they think they are. ;) :D
This is true.

Speaking of smart, I see I'm mired in last place on the point differential but if you check the math I should be -40, not -50 (18 off last week). Thanks!

And then there were two! Possible even one if Minnesota ****s the bed tomorrow night. Remember that Monday Night Game last year, I think it might have been on Halloween night too - Minnesota got beaten by Chicago. :eek:
That's a tough defense for a rookie QB to face in his baptism under fire and he has zero WRs to bail him out.

Totally agreed, though the NFL is any given Sunday! (Monday, Thursday, etc.)
Not like you have any other options at this point anyway. Hopefully they don't screw you over like they did to me last year. :p
