2008 NFL FOFC High/Low - Week 4

JAG · 09-25-2008, 08:50 AM

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

(as an aside, I'd love to see this outcome this week)

Score for the week: 22

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) and will have a random team chosen for your high and low that you won't be able to select in future weeks.

If you miss 2 consecutive weeks, your score will no longer be tracked.

If this is your first week playing, you lose 25 points per missed week plus as many random teams from your pool of teams to play for high and low as weeks missed.

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

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

Heh. It had been a while since I made my posts, edited in the teams already selected, and I came back to the screen to think about who I wanted to take, posted it, and was shocked to see another 10 or so posts already in the thread.

Although looking at your score, I should've been copying you the first few weeks too.

Yep, really wish I had switched this over to Bengals for low. And the Browns D went from "sweet, my opponent is screwed on bye week, has to start them" to "oh crap, he's starting the Browns against some no talent ass clown QB!"

Well Minnesota doesn't seem to be that bad of a pick so far for low this week from the score update at least.. So don't beat yourself up yet!

Thomkal · 09-28-2008, 03:27 PM

whew squeaked by for another week. Not so lucky in my Yahoo survivor league when 3-0 denver with the highest ranked offense could not beat an 0-3 (and on a 13 game losing streak) KC team starting two rookies at cornerback due to injuries.
