GAME OF THE WEEK – THURSDAY NIGHT – Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots, NE by 7 – NEW ENGLAND

[The Legend]

So I ran some quick tallies on games that had been picked so far, just to see what the lay out would wind up looking like from people that had picked by 9 am. Nobody here is giving da Bears or Washington any love as none of our 14 pickers so far had taken either team in their games. One person is on a limb by themselves for the Raiders, Ravens and Niners. Lopsided was the name of the game this week as only one game had a split of less than 2-to-1 for one team to win (Indy over Buffalo). By far the most popular upset was the Chiefs over the Texans with 10 people picking KC to pick up the win.

GB 14
CHI 0

Would someone mind tallying up the scores and posting the thread for this next week's picks? I most likely won't be able to get the chance this week as I leave to go out of the country early in the morning.

I'm good with helping out if Messiah can't too.

I should have never had faith in Sam "Captain Checkdown" Bradford and Teddy Suckwater. Smh.

I'll have the results and Week 3 picks put up later tonight!

@EmperorWu, Tim can decide what to do when he gets back. As of now, I only counted the games you picked that actually existed. I'm really not sure how you got the other games in your picks or how nobody noticed it beforehand.

There is a certain amount of games you have to hit to be eligible to win the tournament, so there shouldn't be much of a problem in me not counting the other games considering they didn't exist.

@Messiah

You might want to check everyone's results this week. I think I only went 11-6.

In my defense it was 5 am and I was tired as fuck from working 12 hours and then hitting the gym.

The week one list I was looking at had the correct games, but instead of reading the team match ups top to bottom, I read them left to right.

Yeah, I don't know what happened with that. Thank you for letting me know!

98% sure everything else should be fine but I will re-check.
