Overall, Week 1 was all we'd hoped for (exciting games, upsets, some good football right off the bat) and more (the Football Gods smite New England real good). Thanks to everyone for joining us this year. Mailbox open for Week 2 picks!

he he, I see there was a lot of faith in those 'skins.

theohall · Post by **theohall** » Thu Sep 04, 2008 10:30 pm

Having watched their preseason, I'll be surprised if the 'Skins win 6 games. Unless they change QBs and the OL actually starts blocking someone. Yes, it will take both things to happen.

Hey, as long as they do a good job week 4, I'm happy.

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 5:46 am

3 points for a lock, right? I'm pretty sure I indicated a lock on this game.

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Fri Sep 05, 2008 6:32 am

Indeed you did; glad I could start the season off with a bang!

You can still add them for the rest of Week 1 and I'll let you slide and add locks for Weeks 2-17 of the Ironman if you'd like.

moghedian · Post by **moghedian** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 11:14 am

Thanks! I'll just send the locks for the remaining Ironman enteries and keep my regular entry as is.

Here are the 'big games' for your enjoyment (early games):

TB @ NO
NYJ @ MIA
CIN @ BAL
SEA @ BUF
JAX @ TEN

Each of these has more than a handful of people picking the underdog, and thus the outcome will substantially impact the pool standings.

Here is the bigger question - how were the ATL/DET picks spread. ATL is crushing the Loins.

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 3:40 pm

If I didn't list it, it was one-sided. We had only 3 pick ATL.

theohall · Post by **theohall** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 4:03 pm

Then 3 folks got 2 points the rest of us fools didn't. Michael Turner and Matt Ryan have totally changed the Atlanta Falcons offense.

Atlanta is going to kill my IM picks.

Only one person picked CLE--but it's Bcap, so it could be big since she's leading. No one picked against SD, and our one 'true' big game in this set is SF-ARI, as the picks are right down the middle.

theohall · Post by **theohall** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 4:35 pm

This pool is scary good. Miss 4 picks and you're almost in last place. At least none were locks.

Is it too late to change my IM picks? All those ATL games need to be changed.

On the bright side, everyone picked SD. So they cost you 2 points. And the loss actually helped me. Woo!

Only one person picked CHI tonight--and it wasn't me. 23 IND locks.

I cannot believe no one has mentioned Buffalo, Frekin Buffalo. They put a hurtin on the Seagulls.

Well, the way I see it, I'd be at 22 if they won. So yeah, 4 points

By the way, Brady is done for the year. I wonder how many Ironman entries that screws up.

Let's stick to the relevant math. You'd be 2 points stronger vs the field.

Depends on your perspective--it lowers the likely score of all three ironman entries. However, since 0 of them had a realistic chance, it has no real effect.

I'd be curious as to how many times IM entries picked ATL to actually win games. Most still had them written off with a new HC, new QB, new RB, etc.

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Sun Sep 07, 2008 8:31 pm

The full ironman entries are in the spreadsheet if you want to check some stats.

that's what everyone thought when they picked them in the survival pool over the falcons.

Oh yeah - this week might be a safe week to pick the Niners. Seattle doesn't have any WRs and Julius Jones isn't a #1 RB.
