I have to face the music...the Vikings aren't going to win again...I almost picked Chicago. It's a crap shoot for me each week. I sometimes put all the names in a hat and go with whichever team comes out of the hat.

NC--I keep rooting for Oakland as well--although I don;t pick them because I want the 40 points. As an Oakland fan, I realize there is no excuse for it. By the way, how have things been going for you? Drop by my folder if you wish.

NC--I thought the KC/Miami game was really tough to pick--both have played great and not so great. If you want to change your pick I can edit it (or anyone else's pick for that matter) I like to pick as early as possible, although sometimes things like QB status from an injury can be a big part of a pick.

Jefe! What a score! Congratulations! I'm with Lance and Who. Man, I really thought I did better this week but still dropped down in the overall status <sigh> Sure would like to get a couple up in the 80-90 percentile. There are some really good players here.

Ok, I see what you did now Lycan...you somewhat changed the numbers on the games...I see all your picks now! Now I better be extra careful in entering your picks, since your numbering system is off by one as compared to mine. OK, I've been debating how to handle the early game, and the likelihood that not all the players will see the change in schedule in time. I don't want to exclude players whose lives are too busy to check the news, and won't be thinking to check back here before Sunday. But I want to make it fair to those who do get their picks in early. So, for this week, and this week only, the Friday night game (Game #4 on the list) will be worth 60 points (1 1/2 times its normal value). I will still accept picks through the normal Sunday deadline. Those who do pick after Friday will of course have to take a "no pick" for the Friday game, and miss out on the chance for extra points. Those who do get their picks in before Friday get the chance to earn more points (of course, you have to pick the correct winner too!). I hope this is an acceptable and fair way to handle this. I wanted to get the announcement in early so folks would know what's up.

Who do we have to have all our picks in before Friday to qualify for extra points on the Friday game or can we just give our pick for the Friday game and do the others on Saturday or Sunday morning? Thanx in advance.

Good question Wink. I think it would be easier on me (tracking the picks and getting them entered correctly) to just get your picks in all at the same time. OK?

Pick changes are perfectly fine. Please just make sure to do them before the deadline. Again, either the Friday deadline or the Sunday one. Pick changes after the Friday deadline negates the Friday pick/extra points. I just don't think that would be fair to allow changes after the Friday game as that would be sort of working a loophole to get the extra points, and still be able to wait around till Sunday for other picks. I suppose if you make picks by the Friday deadline, and then make a change before Sunday, we can keep your pick for Friday, but it won't be worth 60 points, it will be worth 40. But I'll be honest, it would be a bit of a PIA for me to go in to the Excel spreadsheet and edit the formulas per-person to make the Friday game worth different points depending on the person and when they got their picks in, or if they made changes mid-stream. Its doable, but leaves things more open to error (my data entry error, that is). That's why I'd prefer to just have picks in all at once. I hope that makes sense. Also, Lance if you do happen to edit posts for picks, please e-mail me or something to let me know. Often I'll enter picks as they are posted and am not likely to go back through the posts to double check and see if they got edited. Probably best to just leave the requests for pick changes as they are posted.
