    My no shifting of weights around seemed to pay off, but I really really really don't want to put a 7 on the BAL/CLE game.

    There is something definitely going on this season. I'm still in second place. I don't even remember the last time I was in the top 10...

    Every year I ask this...

    How does the points thing work again? I always just pick who I think is gonna win the game.

    Balt -13.5 Cle

    Means in order for Baltimore to "win" they need to beat Cleveland by more than 13.5 points. So if the final was balt 14 cle 10... The score as far as the bet goes would be balt 14 cle 23.5 (thats the10 they actually scored plus the 13.5 they were given). In that case, if you picked Balt, you lost. Make sense?

    A perfectly good excuse for losing, shot to hell ...

    Picks made. Random weights, made my choices and then flopped them all

    I had a feeling that would happen. Damn you Browns and damn you Flacco for throwing a pick in the endzone! Ruined everything.

    Had a gut feeling the Ravens would have a bit of an off week. Was not 100% sold on the Browns staying within 14 points, but enough to pick them with my 5 for the week.

    Keeping with recent insanity, my 7 is on the Thursday night game. This can't end well.

    In seven years of doing this I always use my 7 pointer in favor of the Bears and it usually works out pretty good. Cutler looking like a decent QB last night didn't hurt either.

    I need to string together a couple of decent weeks. Last week was okay but I feel pretty good about this weeks games. Which likely means I'll be lucky to get double digits for points.

    I've been trying for like 10 minutes to pick tonight's game but keep getting an error on my mobile trying to save it. I assume it's locked now. I hate CBS Sports for not allowing this through their app. Can you weight tonight's game a 1 point and put me in for Arizona winning?

    Yeah, those are all good. Thanks

    I've been terrible at picking Thursday night games. I'm not putting 7 on any of them.

    I fixed it to reflect the pick you made prior to the game.... but I had to move your 7, so I stuck it on another game. Nothing is locked for the rest of the week yet though, so you can go in and re-weight how you want it to be.

    Edit to add... gotta hand it to GST... putting 7 on the hapless Rams was ballsy!
