WEEK 5- PATRIOTS

 

[mpc_hawks]

Week 5 - Patriots.

 

[RedAlice]

May best guess is that the winner of the game will be someone who doesn't pick the Pats this week and some crazy way survives this week.

If they survive, they'll prolly have an easy week later to pick the Pats against Miami or some such when no one else has them left.

Well that's just history, and we have a nice big selection of players here to see how it goes.

Logistics note - I'm traveling this week, so chart will be updated after the games are played.

All picks posted are valid in the thread. Just wanted to note this so you don't worry the chart isn't updated.

Week 5 - Patriots. Thank you again for putting this together.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

Changing my pick to the Ravens.

 

[RolandDeschain]

Sigh. Pats.

 

[RedAlice]

Sigh. Pats.

Golden pick.

 

[RedAlice]

Charts are updated.

Please do me a huge favor and make sure I have your picks correct for Week 4 and Week 5 - I didn't get a chance to update during the week.

Looks like still need Week 5 picks from:

Indyhawk
Hawk-Lock

Colts in 5

 

[5_Golden_Rings]

Whew... Thank you Colts. Had me sweating at the end there.

 

[Hawk-Lock]

Damn it I totally forgot to make my pick. Oh well.

 

[RedAlice]

Yeah, they pull it out.

I think we only lost any Philly pickers today. Not sure yet.

 

[WmHBonney]

Damn it I totally forgot to make my pick. Oh well.

You can still pick the Mon night game.....

Week 6: Buffalo

But I like other games so subject to change

 

[Sgt. Largent]

I change my mind, I'm going back to the Panthers!

Damn Ravens, should have known better than to trust Flacco. He's right up there with Eli Manning for the most unimpressively overpaid and overrated QB's of all time.

Week 6. Browns.

I just realized that I'd already selected the Bills in an earlier loss which moved me down to the consolation round. Does the duplicate rule follow from the winners bracket to the consolation round or was my Bills pick still available?

Also, is it safe to assume that if my bills pick was a duplicate that it's too late to go with the Panthers this week as my "pick" has already played?

Hey kidhawk - you can change a duplicate pick as long as there is a team left to play still, so you can take the Panthers.

I'll update it. If I notice when duplicates are made, I'll point them out - but I don't always notice.

To answer your first question - the duplicate rule is for the whole game, so it includes both Winners and Consolation rounds, with no re-set of teams available.

I kind of figured that was how it went, but I was hoping not, as that means I have to break my own rule and pick a favorite this week, as I've already used Tampa....so for the sake of sticking in the game, I'll go with the Panthers and kick myself for paying too much attention to picking underdogs and not enough attention to who I'd already picked.
