Hey Zip

Sure wish that DeAngeloWilliams would give Stewart a chance to score out of the backfield some today.
We have alot of Panthers playing against each other in fantasy today.
KC should force the Panthers to kick more field goals.

NFL Pick 'em w/confidence Week 3 Recap

Moak was 11-5 (111points) for the week and joins Vote for π, and Team Zen in a virtual ménage à trois at the top. Gonzoids actually picked more winners for a 12-4 week earning a tie for the week with 111 points. Sprouts Picks '08 outpicked them both with a 13-3 week but lost big w/ New England (as we all did to some degree) and Indy to end up in third place for the week with 109 points. Team Zen 11-5 (105 pts) and badmofo 10-6 (102 pts) round out the week's top 5.

note to joe: You need to assign confidence points on each games to score.
Looking forward to week 4, the bye weeks begin with  Detroit, Indianapolis, Miami, New England, NY Giants, & Seattle off, while the tough matchups to predict this week include the battle of the bays Green @ Tampa, and the battle of the O'fers in Ohio with Cleveland cruising down I-71 to Cincy.

RP Pick em w/ confidence
WEEK TWO review

Breaking out a second slice "Vote for π" gets 11 of 16 (104pts), "Stiller" picked 10 for 102 points, "goodfella" goes 11-16 (100pts), "Z-TardZ's" 10-16 (98 pts) was good for fourth, then there was a big 10 point drop to number five where "Shnerky's always right" lived up to that name in half the games for 88 points.

Additional Props to "badmofo" who was the only member of the group to pick the Raiders over the Chiefs, and "Vote for π" who was the only one to take the Redskins over the Saints.

Because of the 'drop the worst week' rule, standings look a bit wacky this week and reflect the total of both weeks in the first column, and then the adjusted total (official standing) in second column.

1	Vote for π	207	104
2	stiller	201	102
3	goodfella	186	100
4	Z-TardZ	179	98
5	Team Zen	180	97
6	Red-faced but tryin'	179	93
7	Moak	167	91
8	shnerky's always right	178	90
9	Gonzoids2	171	86
10	Honey's Hot Picks	145	82
10	VeeV	82	82
12	badmofo	142	81
13	zip	149	75
14	Sprouts Picks 08	145	74
15	BuzzPicks '08	137	71
16	Jenseda	56	56
17	joe_pa_turnover	0	0

Finally, a welcome to "VeeV" who steps right in to the 10th spot, and hello to "joe_pa_turnover", you'll have to start one scoring week behind...but making up 100 or so points is still very possible

Here are the results for week 2 of ESPN's Pigskin Pick'em.

Zevon-               10
Allan-                10
Newwavegurley-   9

The weekend ended up better than I thought it would.

Congratulations to  cptbuz for leading after week 1.  The_Jake and Katzendogs did not submit a pick for the Thursday night game or their results could have been better... 
Good luck to all in week two.

Crap. Forgot to sign up for the ESPN thing.

Figures, I picked 12 right the first week.

Yahoo Pick 'em w/confidence week 1 RECAP

Vote for π went 12-4 and earned 103 points to take the early lead. Stiller also went 12-4 for 99 points. Team Zen 97pts, Red Faced 93pts, and Moak 91pts all went 11-5 to round out the top 5.

Jesenda was our only oops of the week picking the winners but not assigning confidence points. Remember its a two step process...who you think will win, and how sure you are of that pick (confidence). Your still in it Jesenda because the worst week of each player is dropped.
