View Full Version : an NFL loser's challenge, week 6

Week 6 is upon us, here we go again, trying to find who will be the next biggest loser...

Rules are fairly simple: Try to find the team, one that you have never picked since the beginning of the season, that will lose its game with the worst deficit. If the team you pick loses, you will earn their margin of defeat as points in your season total. However, if the team you picked wins, their margin of victory will be deducted from your season total. Remember though: never pick the same team twice in the season.

Deadline is kickoff of the team you select. This means you can still pick a team up until Monday, unless you've already used both teams. Also, you can start playing at any week. It's not because you may have missed until now, that we won't let you in on the fun... Come on in!

If for a reason or another, you wanted to change your pick, simply post another team, as long as you're still before its deadline, I'll replace your first pick by your new one. Do not edit your pick once it's posted. Reason for this is simple: once I have registered your pick, I won't go back to see who has edited their posts. Please write a little note on the post for your new pick that this is in fact a second pick.

To help you out, here's the schedule for week 6 and a checklist, sorted by username first (vertically), then by team (horizontally), of who picked who so far. Remember, you can't pick the same team twice! Come one, come all!

I'm very tempted to go Cleveland just to have another anti-Vince pick. :)

edit: not my real pick. I have to research a few things first.

I havn't been called a punk in many, many years. Thanks for making me laugh out oud. Now my co-workers think I'm even more crazy.

I will not place the anti-Vince pick this week and will instead choose...Houston...no wait, Carolina...no, I mean Houston..I think...hmmm.

This is a very tough week. We go with Houston


Edit: Hey Frogman, can I have each of my personalities make a seperate pick? :)

Jeeber, I need to make some money. Let me know who is your lock this week so I can bet on the winner. ;)

Congrats on winning 6 in a row. I hope I don't jinx you. :D

We have JeeberD, Eagle Fan, me, Butter of 69, Superman=54, and Solecismic (albeit with a lesser amount of picks) all without a negative number. A ton of others have one left.

Things really start getting tricky from this point on. The big play early on appears to be the Raiders. That isn't a lock for a big margain of victory. I'll probably play the Packers (Farve in a dome is to good to pass up) Thing is, there are going to be some +.500 teams being picked to get slaughtered in the next few weeks.

I'm after you Jeeber. Lot of time left :)

Troy's right, now is when it gets interesting. I've used up most of my really bad teams so I'm going to have to go with some questionable teams the next eleven weeks.

Should be fun the rest of the way... :)
