RESULTS - WEEK 14 COMPLETE

STALKER: 2 points.
TAPPER: 2 points.
BRUJAH: 1 points.
TATTS: 1 points.


WEEK 14:
TAPPER - SEATTLE(W) COLTS(W)
BRUJAH - COLTS(W) BUCS(L)
TATTS - BUCS(L) JETS(W)
STALKER - SEATTLE(W) COLTS(W)

WEEK 15:
TAPPER -
BRUJAH -
TATTS -
STALKER -


Here's the settup and rules guys.
This is just like Shin's pick 'em thread, except it's just us 5(the 5 lowest).

The game is to continue to pick a single game winner for weeks 14, 15, 16, and 17.

The catch is that you still cannot pick a team that you already picked in Shin's thread.
Also! You have to chose a different team than whoever you pick in Shin's thread.
For example. Week 14 I picked the Colts in Shin's thread. I can't also chose the Colts for week 14 here.
The payoff. You get one point for each correct pick from BOTH threads.
With only 4 weeks left, the highest possible score is 8.
Obvious math being (4 correct from the other thread. 4 correct here).
It's only 4 weeks. 8 picks. Take you two seconds.
Plus it will give those of us with no chance in Shin's thread something to entertain ourselves with.

The hard part is that most people are running out of winning teams to pick from. Now add in the fact that you're going to have two fewer teams to choose from each week, instead of one, should make for at least some attempt at strategy. Come week 17, we won't have but a handful of teams left to choose from.

I already quit once I realized how retarded all my earlier choices were based on the fact that we don't have to choose every team in the league at least once this year.

So: Nay. I shall not choose.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

No problem, I'll take you off. This is suppose to just be for fun, anyway, and if it's no longer fun and/or entertaining, then you shouldn't even waste your time in these types of threads.

I actually like Shin's game, and look forward to picking and seeing the results.

But once those of us fell too far behind, it was still fun trying to chose a winner correctly, but not as fun as if it were still possible to win. And the best part about this thread, imo, is a smaller group.

Don't get me wrong, I like Shins thread-game, and would always like to see that one as big as possible, but just like what you'll find about many certain competitions, sometimes it's fun to also have a small group to compete in.

Next year, I hope Shin redoes his thread pick em just like the same as this years, and I will def play, and hopefully win, but I want to also start another copy of this thread to began at the same time as Shins, week 1. The only difference is that Shins may have 12 to 15 players, whereas the second pick em thead will be limited in number. Possibly 5 or 6, tops.

I forgot to keep this up to date. But we did almost finish, so based on your picks up through week 16 here, and the week 16 picks from Shins thread, we end up with:

WEEK 14:
TAPPER - SEATTLE(W) COLTS(W)
BRUJAH - COLTS(W) BUCS(L)
TATTS - BUCS(L) JETS(W)
STALKER - SEATTLE(W) COLTS(W)
TAPPER 2, BRUJAH 1, TATS 1, STALKER 2

WEEK 15:
TAPPER - GIANTS(L) DALLAS(W)
BRUJAH - LIONS(L) SEATTLE(W)
TATTS - LIONS(L) BROWNS(L)
STALKER - TITANS(W) JETS(L)
TAPPER 1, BRUJAH 1, TATS 0, STALKER 1

WEEK 16:
TAPPER - PACKERS(W) BRONCOS(W)
BRUJAH - EAGLES(L) BILLS(L)
TATS - BENGALS(W) PANTHERS(W)
STALKER - BUCS(L) CHARGERS(W)
TAPPER 2, BRUJAH 0, TATS 2, STALKER 1

The final results for our brief little slice of the season Pick 'em:

TAPPER 5 of 6
BRUJAH 2 of 6
TATS 3 of 6
STALKER 4 of 6

Tapper wins, beating STALKER by 1 point, and going nearly perfect. His only wrong pick being his pick of the Giants in there 34-0 loss to the Falcons, in week 15.

Stalker came up short with his week 16 pick of the Bucs in their 28-13 loss against the Rams, failing to tie for the lead.

Tats shoots 50%, getting half of his picks right, and I come in last, having the worse season for predictions in a long time.
