No such luck. Yesterday was likely the only day we'll have this season where I can claim to be smarter than 31 of the 35 other entries. I'm not tarnishing that.

Hey, I try to do intra-day updates when I'm actually home and available.

I would make a statement along the lines of 'I've generally posted updates after Thursday gamedays in the past', but I'm sure you'd have the data proving me wrong shortly thereafter, so I'll refrain.

But yes, it did make the intraweek update more funner-er to post.

IND over PIT, 1 correct, 35 incorrect, 2 incorrect locks, for an average of 0 pts/pick. I was surprised that only one took the gamble on Indy.

That was me!!! That was me!!!!

Likely my one shining moment in what has otherwise been a dismal NFL season for me.

Those are some pretty incredible scores, especially given that we've got 2 games left and there was the first tie in many years, giving everyone a loss for that game. I suppose it's a non-bye week so that does inflate scores a bit.

As always, everyone please check your scores in the spreadsheet regularly, and notify me of any errors ASAP. I enter a lot of data, and mistakes are made every year. Catch 'em.

Another Thursday game--make sure to submixilate!

***** Week 11 Recap *****

Chicago makes up for holding TEN to 20 yds rushing by giving GB 200.

Captain Caveman extends his in-the-lead streak to 9 weeks, but it's getting a lot tighter...

CAR over DET, all correct locks but one--which was still correct.

** Hard Pick of the Week **

PHI-CIN tie--none of you correctly predicted a tie, and nearly everyone lost a lock in the process. Good job!

** Notables **

Captain Caveman ends his long solo streak at the top. Who joined him? The Meal. Big surprise.

** Stay Tuned For **

Another Thursday game.

I always feared this day would come. The Meal has long been my nemesis and shows no signs of relenting. I have no choice but to humiliate him by correctly locking the Lions this weekend.

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 10:29 am

I would have gone with predicting the tie.

Have the Loins played STL yet? That could be a good one.

The 4pm (EST) games seem to be killer to me. Every week pretty much, I'll do fine for the 1pm games, then crap for the 4pm. This week: 5-2 Sunday @ 1pm (7-3 if you count the Thursday games). 4pm games: 1-3.

I don't have the full update ready yet; hoping for tonight.

Oops.

Buffalo + Home Game + Outdoor wintery weather = possible win for Buffalo
Buffalo + 'Home game' is indoors in Toronto + JP Losman = I really should have picked Miami

Other than that pick, a pretty good week so far.

I had the same rationale, and it backfired on me, too.

Very tight week--Leader has 29, lowest non-ironman is 23. Most are 25-27.
