but do we get the best of the 35?

you can pick more in the next two weeks to try and up your percentage…its just at least 35 picks but you can have more…i will probably not pick and just hope that wildcat storm doesnt get 6/10 in the next 2 weeks but i’m not sure…if you go 10 for 10 in the next two weeks you would be at 60% and you would have a chance to win…so yes you could still possibly win if you do great and everyone else doesnt do very well

bigspace… Hi, I had a question about my percentage.  After last week I had 15/20, this week I have 17/25.  I won 4 out of the 5 for this week, so shouldn’t I have 19/25? 
Thank you for taking the time to do all of this.

We aren’t picking the winners of each game…we are picking against the spread…you picked NYJ who were supposed to win by at least 3 and they won by like 20 so you don’t get the point since that game didn’t go against the spread…if we were playing to just pick the winners then yes you would have 4/5 but we are playing to pick against the spread so you have 2/5…the one’s that you got correct were the Cardinals and the Chargers..the other 3 turned out like they were projected to turn out

Big Space…. With the Jets winning by more than 3 points it means that Wildcat Storm does get the point for picking the right winner.

Based on Wildcat Storms Week 14 picks he got 4 out of 5 right. The only game he lost on was the Cardinals. They were favored to win by 3.5 points but lost by 15.

Hope this helps clarify everything.

bigspace.. I know that we are picking against the spread and not just the winners…. that’s why I thought I had won 4 of 5 this week… Thanks Marc for the clarification and Thanks again bigspace for keeping track of all of this for everyone…

wait a second, am i being penalized because i was diligent and picked more times that wildcat?  thats lamo i say.  if that is the case i say we pick the best X number of weeks for a better comparison

Hey, Pickle…what’s the big dill?  Just admit it…football is not your bag.  Time to dust off the ol’ badminton rackets and start doing crunches to prepare for the upcoming sping yard sports.

well then…obviously i have been playing this game wrong the whole time and i obviously didnt calculate anyones points correctly so just disregard all of the precentages and stuff that i put up…i thought against the spread meant picking the team that had the + points only…didnt know we could agree that the team would win by more than what they were projected

Sorry about the confusion Big Space.  Just FYI you finished 4-1 based on your Week 14 picks. You won on every team but the Kansas City Chiefs.  Not all that shabby for not even knowing how things officially work.

i love badminton!
