yay!

And looks like we all got a push on the Browns. They're gonna win one of these weeks!

The latest week is up. You were one game off the top of the board again. Real tough week too. I really only liked one game. Indy over GB. I think I even gave that one to you, which by the looks of things you didn't take...

Wish you'd given me that before i took GB in the survivor pool...

Your kidding right? I think I literally told alice, that I thought I could easily lose all my picks this week. The only one I liked was Indy. And I even said they were going to beat GB straight up. I wish I had that insight on the rest of the games, because frankly for the first time in a long while I was literally drawing a complete blank. I was "luke warm" on the Raiders and the Rams. But I have a rule to always pick against the Rams.


This coming week is pretty tough too, but nothing like last week.. There are 3 games I have circled as 5 star locks. I would be shocked if I don't cover at least 2 out of the three.

@Hacksaw_64 - yes, you did tell me and I didn't change it. I think I did last week's in one fast little emotional burst, so figured I'd just keep it. I tend to do worse the more I dwell on it.

[RedAlice]

Hey, I notice a trend here... both of the top two players right now are also two of the three left in the Survivor Pool. Good work guys... @LARAMSFAN66 @RamsFanSince82

[RamsFanSince82]

Thanks @RedAlice. I've been struggling for the past 2 or 3 weeks. I thought for sure someone was going to pass me last week. I need to have a good week. Unfortunately, I don't feel confident about the games this week (I like too many favorites).

[RedAlice]

Well, this was a way down week for me. So, I'm gonna hope for another way up week now.

I do remember big swings in totals through last year.

Yep. But, I'm gonna post this upswing before it downswings again.

Thanks 64 for a game we get to play all season and into the play-offs.

Brutal. I'm in freefall. Perpetual Tom Petty. I guess I know what the Vikings feel like...

Current Standings

Great job everyone. Looks like over half of our RFUer's are beating the sportsbook. I can't tell you how difficult that is to do to maintain a +50% winning percentage against the spread playing virtually every NFL game on the board. You guys would all be money winners if you were professional gamblers.*

*Disclaimer
This is not a recommendation or promotion for gambling. Please do not take it as such. Gambling is a serious business. The house always has the advantage. If you gamble, always play with money you are prepared to lose. Odds are over time you will. I think Elvis posted an article on professional gamblers awhile back and how even the very best when tracked over time can't best the 50 % mark vs. the point spread..



League Notes.

Hopehead and kurritia10 were dropped from league play due to inactivity.

Warning!

bcast8 ans sloramfan you both received your 3rd and final neutral score for failing to get your picks in. Make sure and stay on top of it or communicate with me if you have some kind of reason you can't get picks in and need an auto-pick. We all are busy, hate to drop players. Just communicate, is all I ask..

[dieterbrock]

Lol, its kind of like survivor being we lose 2-3 players each week.
I'm hoping everyone drops out, its the only way I think I can win
Haha

[Hacksaw_64]

Another brutal week coming up. Usually it gets easier as the season goes on an teams cement their identities. This season it seems like we are seeing the NFL in the middle of a complete power shift.

Most teams are trending towards the middle.

Everyone has warts.

Difficult to judge pretenders from contenders.


Looking forward, it good news for los Ramos making a play in the NFC in the coming years... we just need to "knock on wood" to get lucky with our roll of the dice with #16 to pan out and add a couple pieces to the puzzle.
