I'm not studying the records and checking the stats of these teams anymore......it does no good whatsoever, LOL. This week I'm just making my pick based on what I know and don't know about these teams......and trusting my instinct. The real fact is I have a 50/50 chance of being right and lucky.:crazy1:

I used too.......but it didn't help. Hell I would be happy with 75% for the year. I've never came close to that.

it's all in the games that get picked...could easily make it where everyone is hovering around 90%...

i think i do an ok job of throwing in big games, meaningful games, and close games (on paper anyways)...
i think you all would laugh if you saw the method to my madness of picking the games lol...

It is west Texas biased and smells of beer!!! I mean I just had to Google 2 of this weeks teams to see if they were real or you just made them up.

i try to do an equal number of games from each region - sometimes there just aren't any good ones in a region...like once the playoffs hit, region 3 is pretty much out of the contest...

I picked Ackerly Sands without even checking just because it sounded like some remote desert town where the only thing going on is football on Friday nights.

Only folks that aren't in the Loop would think that.

Hey, Jason. I have myself at 10-5 last week. There's only five "0"s in my column, and 10 "1"s. Is that right?

your numbers are to the right, they just got cut off - i have you 9-6

I'm already 6 down this week and we haven't even got to the pro games yet......Sheesh!!! The high school games in Texas are almost impossible to predict. Except for that remote desert town called Ackerly Sands, LOL.
