Steal Away Now Baby Rose Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Right by the big cross Baby Rose....my nephew just might be delivering the mail there.Oh, nice! Wolverine is so small, I'm used to Michigan's own residents not having heard of it.And, well.....you live in Detroit, haha. That reminds me of this saying they have about Alaska's largest city, Anchorage, where I live.Since it's a metropolitan city that contains almost half of the state's entire population, and isn't considered to be truly "Alaskan", the saying goes, "The closest you can get to Alaska without actually being there is Anchorage".

Strider Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Primates @ Patriots tonight. It's fun to see Miami re-energized and all, and with a short week for old man Brady to recover, it's tempting to think the Fins could pull an upset. But Miami beat Tennessee and Houston...they are stepping way up in class with New England. I will stick with Belechick and Brady and New England tonight.

Our average score that week was 11.4-4.6.Our worst week was Week 2: 87-136 for 39%. 6.2-9.7 was the average score.SANBR, we have been collectively shut out before on a pick. Week 4 everyone picked Arizona in their game vs. St. Louis. Arizona lost and the Pool went 0-15 (back when 15 people were picking in the pool). The Pool also went 15-0 on two games that week: Carolina @ Tampa Bay and Detroit @ Seattle...everyone picking Carolina and Seattle.Week 3 was a bonanza as everyone correctly picked the winners of three different games: New England, Carolina, and Seattle. Yes, even Rick picked the Patriots that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, since I started tracking our stats, Strider, since I started tracking our stats.Didn't start until Week 5.

Yes, even Rick picked the Patriots that week.You mean Seattle for the Detroit at Seattle game. Perfectly picked games are actually fairly common. We've had two in the past three weeks in a row. It seems that we usually have around two every week. That reminds me, since you seem to enjoy this as much as I do, if not more, do you want to post our weekly stats from Weeks 1-4?

That's why I posted the info...so people would have a fuller picture. I wasn't questioning your math or conclusions. Thanks for the spot on my Detroit typo.Perfectly picked games are actually fairly common. We've had two in the past three weeks in a row. It seems that we usually have around two every week. That reminds me, since you seem to enjoy this as much as I do, if not more, do you want to post our weekly stats from Weeks 1-4?Enjoy perhaps is too strong a word, hehe. It's definitely interesting and crunching numbers is an amusing way to kill time. But it's not like there aren't other activities I would rather be doing. However, have no fear, when I have some down-time I will crunch all the numbers and post the stats for the first 8 weeks.As for the games where we have a clean sweep, it's a curious thing that early on it usually involved games where everyone picked New England, Carolina, or Seattle. Lately, though, it has been Arizona and Atlanta that have united us together as one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the cleansweeps, it just depends on scheduling. Who has an easy matchup and who doesn't. And whether Rick is in the mood for one of his left-field picks.

Reggie29 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Isn't there a Rugby World Cup going on right now, too, Reggie29?Australia and New Zealand play in the final tomorrow (Saturday) 3.30pm GMT, at Twickenham Stadium, London.Both countries have won the cup before. This will be the first time the two sides have ever met in a WC final with NZ being the favourites and Oz the underdogs and we'll be happy with that as the pressure will be on the All Blacks to win. I don't think it'll worry the Kiwis though. Of course there'll be pressure on Australia to win and both sides will field their best teams without any suspensions or serious injuries. The leveller is it's being played in neutral territory. Go the Wallabies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both teams undefeated, both teams sporting two of the best defenses in the league, and both teams coming off a bye week. Denver's got homefield advantage though, which is one of the best in the NFL.

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 THE ALL-BLACKS! THE ALL-BLACKS! Rugby was never one of my favourite sports, but after last night, I think I might change my mind! If the NFL is anything like Rugby (in terms of playing techniques, rules, etc.), then I think I might start learning the rules and actually start submitting NFL picks! Bring on the continuing Trans-Tasman rivalry on to the cricket field - the Baggy Greens vs. the Black Caps!! Sorry for being off-topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
