Come on people! Brett Favre is in top form this year! Haven't you heard??? He's rested, lighter than he has been in the preseason in years, healthy, relaxed, his wife is doing great! Have some faith people! Only four of you think that they'll win. At home by the way (not that it matters as much as it used to), in the rain, outside!


(Sorry to butt in on this thread! It just couldn't be helped!)

Oh yeah. He probably won't play tonight anyway. Maybe 4th quarter. That new kid probably will play.

Kaili, I really was going to pick Green Bay however, I'm hearing that San Diego has really improved, but what do I know? I just like being a part of this board and playing games like this one...lol!!

OK folks! I was away all day today soaking in the last moments of drum corps for the season (*sigh*) at the local cinema broadcast. I'll post the chart with everyone's picks tomorrow hopefully. I'm kinda tired and crosseyed now, and would be sure to make mistakes!

In the meantime, if anyone happen's to see some of last year's players around the board, remind them to come on in and play! We have three more weeks of pre-season before we get to the nitty gritty! And drag in more new players! Its great to see new faces already in here compared to last year! Whoo Hoo!

This weeks picks chart is posted in the Charts folder (at the top of this page). Please check the chart to make sure I entered your picks correctly. Keep in mind, I'm wearing the same glasses as last year, and its now been 5 or more years since I've been able to afford getting new glasses!

Results for Pre Season Week 1 have been posted in the Weekly Results folder (see top of page).

Congrats to Grannyg and Urgrace who tied for the top score this week!

Please, don't hesitate to bring any errors in scoring to my attention. I have been known to make a mistake or two. And please don't hesitate to question the scoring method. I'm doing it the same as last year, arriving at a score based on how many points you earned in the game, as compared to how many available points there was to earn that week. The score is actually a percentage of points earned vs available points.

As you can see, this week's Monday game was a high scoring game, and didn't serve too well as a tie breaker. That makes a good lead in to how I had already planned to try out the Pre-Season Week Two game......I'll have two bonus questions, one of them being a point spread guess (my definition of point spread being, how many points does the winning team win by. If I'm interpreting the term "point spread" incorrectly, please let me know). I'm hoping this will help further break up ties.

Any feedback on which method of playing you prefer (having only one bonus question, or using both bonus questions) for the duration of the regular season would be greatly appreciated. If we go with both bonus questions for the duration of the season, the "total points" bonus will always cover the Monday Night Game, and the "point spread will cover the Sunday evening game (or if no Sunday evening game, then the next to last game on the list).

I'll increased the point value of guessing individual games correctly so the total of both bonus questions still will not exceed the value of guessing a game correctly.

Let me know what you think! Like I said, this Pre Season play is a way for us to get our feet wet, and work out the kinks in scoring and playing before we start the regular season!
