an NFL loser's challenge, week 7

FrogMan · 10-14-2003, 08:56 PM

Week 7 is upon us, here we go again, trying to find who will be the next biggest loser...

Rules are fairly simple: Try to find the team, one that you have never picked since the beginning of the season, that will lose its game with the worst deficit. If the team you pick loses, you will earn their margin of defeat as points in your season total. However, if the team you picked wins, their margin of victory will be deducted from your season total. Remember though: never pick the same team twice in the season.

Deadline is kickoff of the team you select. This means you can still pick a team up until Monday, unless you've already used both teams. Also, you can start playing at any week. It's not because you may have missed until now, that we won't let you in on the fun... Come on in!

If for a reason or another, you wanted to change your pick, simply post another team, as long as you're still before its deadline, I'll replace your first pick by your new one. Do not edit your pick once it's posted. Reason for this is simple: once I have registered your pick, I won't go back to see who has edited their posts. Please write a little note on the post for your new pick that this is in fact a second pick.

To help you out, here's the schedule for week 6 and a checklist, sorted by username first (vertically), then by team (horizontally), of who picked who so far. Remember, you can't pick the same team twice! Come one, come all!

If you see anything wrong with the pick checklist, just let me know.

Simply post your pick (team name is fine) in this thread. I will post mine a little later on this week.

SplitPersonality1 · 10-14-2003, 10:58 PM

I will buck the trend and go with Denver.

DolphinFan1 · 10-14-2003, 11:43 PM

This week sucks for me. I will go with Chicago.

EagleFan · 10-15-2003, 12:37 AM

I came close to saying Philly but I'm going to go with:

New England

Something is also telling me to stay away from a KC/Oakland game, they tend to have weird things happen in them.

I have a hard time picking a team that's playing on Monday Night, even though I've seen how terrible Oakland's been this year...

San Diego

Was Tim Couch pulled?

cthomer5000 · 10-19-2003, 02:33 PM

Note to my fantasy guys: I'd like another 20 points out of you before the end of the 1pm games.

Passacaglia · 10-20-2003, 02:31 PM

Since I forgot to do this last week, I'll do it for tonight's game. Chiefs! And I'm only picking them cause I need Trent Green to blow hard for my fantasy football team to win.

Meh...I've been cold lately after starting the season poorly.

The 49er pick was a pretty terrible one, though

Edit: Not a shot at you Jeeber, just a defense of my favorite team.
