2008 NFL FOFC High/Low - Week 2

JAG · 09-11-2008, 12:41 PM

Please note the new scoring rule based on comments from Quiksand and others in the Week 1 thread. In brief, this is no longer an elimination contest in case you had been eliminated week 1, though we will also keep track of weeks where your low outscores your high.

The Rules:

-Pick one team for the High and one team for the Low. You may only use each team once for the High and once for the Low per season.

Ex.

High: Dallas
Low: Washington

-Scoring: High score minus Low score

Ex.

High: Dallas 35
Low: Washington 13

Score for the week: 22

THIS RULE NO LONGER APPLIES --- If your Low outscores the High, you are eliminated for the rest of the season. Also, if you miss a week, you are also eliminated.

NEW RULE --- If your Low outscores the High, you lose 10 points + 3x the difference between the low and high scores. If you miss a week, you are penalized 50 points (you can PM me with picks at any time if you know you will not be available after the weekly thread is posted).

The remaining participant with the highest score at the end of the season.

Please make your picks in this thread.....

For this week, anyone with a score below '0' was eliminated under the old format, for those who preferred that scoring style.

High: Green Bay
Low: Seattle

High: Pittsburgh

sterlingice · 09-11-2008, 01:21 PM

I don't suppose you could keep track of both types of scoring for the season: Basically, just put a star or something next to any player who was eliminated in any week?

Thomkal · 09-11-2008, 02:40 PM

JAG,

My Low team you listed above is incorrect. I chose KC not Houston. Not sure if that changes my points total as well

Radii · 09-11-2008, 02:42 PM

High: Dallas
Low: Tennessee

Thomkal · 09-11-2008, 02:57 PM

High-Arizona
Low-Atlanta

Did you know my beloved Cards have the current high streak of 9 straight games of scoring 20 points or more?

And yeah it was a nice story for the first week with the Falcons getting their first win with Matt Ryan. But now he faces a real defense.

hoopsguy · 09-11-2008, 03:10 PM

Looks like I'm stealing Thomkal's pick.

High: Arizona
Low: Atlanta

Thomkal · 09-11-2008, 03:12 PM

Copycat!

hoopsguy · 09-11-2008, 03:15 PM

Thomkal, you should see this as your lucky day. Obviously I'm jinxing it by mentioning it, but after Week 1 I'm up to something like 25 straight weeks of successful High/Low picks at FOFC.

I 100% blame you if this is the streak-buster, even if you did submit your pick first

Thomkal · 09-11-2008, 03:17 PM

lol hoops I feel so much more confident about my picks now.

hoopsguy · 09-11-2008, 03:47 PM

Way overshot the number:
2005 - 11 weeks
2006 - 8 weeks
2007 - no contest
2008 - 1 and counting

Edit - glad to see these threads were not part of the thread deletion trend last month.

Coffee Warlord · 09-11-2008, 04:18 PM

I'm still bitter I lost to hoops a couple years back.

Fucking Arizona.

Yeah, starting next week I will keep track of those who haven't been 'eliminated'.

Thanks for catching that, I will adjust that and your score if need be tomorrow.

fantom1979 · 09-12-2008, 08:16 PM

I didn't play week 1, but I would like to get into this. If I have to take a -50 for missing week one, that is fine.

High: Green Bay
Low: St. Louis

Yep its a long season, and well I've picked Arizona this week, so it could be a short stay at the top.

Congrats on leading the pack with me though for one week at least.

fantastic flying froggies · 09-13-2008, 11:38 AM

High: KC (ironically, I picked them for the 'low' last week

)
Low: St Louis

Alright, well looks like I'm safe this week with GB scoring 48.

I'm not too upset about Detroit and 25. I was worried at halftime but 25 is pretty good for a bad team

SI

Masked · 09-14-2008, 03:20 PM

I forgot about the game this week.

If I can still make a pick, I'll go with
High: Pittsburgh
Low: Cleveland

Jas_lov · 09-14-2008, 03:22 PM

Yep, Jon Kitna came through for us picking Green Bay this week.

sterlingice · 09-14-2008, 03:23 PM

I thought you could still put in picks as long as there are games with teams you have on the board so MNF is available, too.

That reminds me- JAG, could you post a link to the next High/Low thread at the bottom of each previous week? So, for instance, this Week 2 thread will have a post when Week 3 is up? That way those of us subscribed to the thread get an email when it's up.

Edit - look like similar issues for Lorena and NTN also.

JAG · 09-14-2008, 04:22 PM

Good call hoopsguy, will PM both of them. And will do SI, didn't think about those subscribing to the thread.

PackerFanatic · 09-14-2008, 05:31 PM

Crap - thanks hoops and JAG, totally forgot about this.

Change my low to Cleveland please, danke.

Well, that sucked.

That was some very intelligent team picking there Hoops, well done.
