They might have had something to do with it.
I actually had my dog pick a couple of them for me. I set them down on the floor with a treat under each one, which ever treat he grabbed first was the one I went with. Real in depth studying on my part.

LOL Jagger. I actually did that for a while. We had an office pool where I worked, and I entered me, Mom and my dog. I had her pick the same way, by which treat she snatched. I used those varied colored dog bones, and used colors close to the team colors she was picking from.

Her "total points" was by how many times she barked (if it was a large double digit number, she'd bark a few times, rest, then a few more times).

Over the couple of years we all played the pool, she won twice. One of those times, she won $75! We put her money in a special envelope, and she bought her own treats for a while.

The second time, a few people even quit playing the pool cause they were offended they got beat by a dog!

She was the ultimate Bronco Fan. She really knew her football too. We'd have the game on, but busied ourselves with laundry and the like as we prepared for another week of work. But Honey Bear stayed in the living room and watched all the games. And she'd always bark and carry on when we made a good play, or scored some points. At first we thought maybe she reacted to the crowd noise on the TV. But she always reacted to the Bronco's good plays, even at away games (when the crowd noise would be much different).

When she went over to the Rainbow Bridge, the Broncos won their first Super Bowl a few months later. Our whole family is certain she was on the field with them, giving them that extra special magic they needed to take the trophy home.

That's a great story Who, I don't think people give animals enough credit. They're smarter than we give them credit for. I mean who else could get a human down on their hand and knees barking at nothing.

My dog didn't have as good of luck as yours did, he picked 4 games and was 50/50 on his picks. Never thought to put different color papers, I used white sheets, maybe this week I'll use colored paper.

I love the animal stories. Animals are so intuitive it makes sense to me!

We'll see how well he (my dog) does this week.
I let him pick the
Minn/Tenn
GB/TB
Arz/Jets
Cleav/Cinci
Phil/Chi
SF/NO
Last week he got to pick 4 games, this week 6, if he does good this week I'll give him even more reponsibilities next week. Well actually on the MN/Tenn and GB/TB games I had all 3 dogs pick, the majority won out.

Great Story Who! Somehow I don't think Dexter will be very good at picking winning teams. He is a treat wh*re! He'd just lay down on all the treats and chow down! Got to luv puppies!

Nice job Debra. I haven't checked yet to see how well the dogs picks turned out, but I'm betting they won't be getting a pigs ear after I check their results.
I'll try my best to see if I can get a good score this week, but I don't want to be high score if my picks are as bad as they were this week if you know what I mean.

LOL at the treat wh*re comment, so is my dog, that's really the only time he pays any attention to me anymore.

Way to go Jaggers (including the furbaby too)!

We are keeping steady and doing great. We still have lots of time to move up and show no mercy.

Tater did you call it being Jaggers week or what?

Next week is gonna be all of our week, lol!

Tater did great at calling it, didn't want to disappoint.
No picks from the dogs this week, I think their pissed at me though, they wanted their treats and held a revolt. (Two of the Three left gifts in the house this past week)

I was so pissed watching Monday nights game, I was rooting for my home team to lose, no loyalty there. LOL

As a team we're moving up, and as Debra says Showing No Mercy. We did good this week guys.
This coming week we'll all do great.

GO WILDCARDS!!!!!!

WTG Jagger! Good job Debra! Sorry about the pressure Jagger. LOL!

Obviously the eeney miney moe choice of picking was not a bright idea on my part. I promise I'll do better this weekend. I'm thinking of going back to the firm butt method.

Tater maybe Debra and yourself could request a few of the players to come and visit you so you can do a real firm butt method, and they can send their cheerleaders my way for a test also, I may do more than just a butt check.

How's the butt checking going ladies, I'm having fun checking out a few of the cheer leaders.
We kept our overall standings in pretty good shape this week, we're slowly moving up on the rest of them.

Either put some glasses on or get a firmer grip on the butts. I think I'll try a firmer grasp on the ladies , as long as they don't slap me. Well on second thought, I think I'd enjoy the slapping, time to go in for a firmer grip.

Me thinks I was staring at too many butts when I made my picks today, I'm going all out for broke this week, lots of upsets, hopefully I won't be the one upset come Monday morning.

Debra can I borrow that glass cleaner, not sure what I was looking at when I made my picks.
Decided this week I'd get them picked without any deep in depth thinking, hopefully I'll do better.

Tater no problem with forgetting it was Sunday, hopefully you had some good looking butts that were distracting you, besides you almost had as good of a score as I did. LOL
BTW can I have some of those good drugs, I'd like to forget Monday thru Friday if possible, it'd make my work week go by much better.
