Message:Here's my take on it, for whatever it's worth. I wouldn't bet money!
Pats whip the Jets
KC rolls over the Raiders
Chargers take care of Denver
Seahawks handle the Cards

Message:Looks like we're going with 4 picks, based on the 'vote', even tho Commish hasn't told us definitively.
Lightning Bolts strike the Ponies
Chiefs out-scalp the Raiders
Steelers bang on the Bengals
And fourth, assuming that's what we're doing:
Saints vanquish the Panthers

Message:Snowy - clearly my tipping has run out of energy and I have fallen apart. Oh well for a while that generous first prize was within my grasp.
Now I am in the battle for the much sought after 4th.

going forward, I plan to add to the current totals as Contest #1 and do a concurrent Post-Season contest, so newcomers can join in.
This week, Wild Card week, up/down 2 points.

Message:Texans rope in the Colts.
(Note: this is intentionally different from my pick in the same game in the new, playoffs-only contest. I never got a ruling from "upstairs" on whether I get a bye this week for my regular-season lead, so I'm guessing that means a solid "No". With my big lead...……........going with my anti-Colts heart, instead of the probable greater likelihood on this one.)
Will hopefully get to the rest of them before gametime(s).

Message:You are picking different teams?
That wasn’t my intention. I was going to just continue with this score and do a separate score.
I don’t recall being asked for a bye week. I’ve been busy with RL stuff.
I will do my best to accommodate the two different sets of picks. I don’t understand the reasoning. If it’s to neutralize your lead, well, I’m keeping track of post season so the “losers” can just look at those.

Message:I am against the Colts, because of how they abandoned Baltimore in the middle of the night. So I hate picking them to win. But...…..I think they're slightly more likely to win than the Texans, so in the everybody-starts-from-scratch contest, I'll go with who I think has the slightly better chance of winning. In the ongoing contest, since I have a significant lead, I'll stick with who I *want* to win. But unless entries pour in soon, the new one may only be me and you.

Message:pop, if it's a burden, or you think it's too 'weird' or unmanageable, I'll just pick one for both contests. Just say so.
