Txdl Weekly Pick'em - 2017 Playoff Edition - Round 1

[jason]

Well folks, it was a fun regular season and we had a race to the finish but somehow I was able to edge out speedbump for a 3 point regular season win!!

We will continue on with the playoffs and will have a playoff champion and an overall champion.

Last week's most correctly picked game was a tie:
Liberty Hill over Gatesville & Texas Tech over Baylor - all 16 got those two right.

Last week's most missed game was Auburn over Georgia - only 2 of us got that one right.

don't see Jason's picks.......I wonder what's up???

[jason]

don't see Jason's picks.......I wonder what's up???it's only Thursday

[speedbump]

it's only Thursday

Sinton and Crandall thought it was Friday.

[regaleagle]

Looks like -2 for Jason out the gate, huh?

[lostaussie]

Whats funny is I came in from hunting yesterday evening and thought "I wonder if any games are tonight". I went ahead and did my picks not knowing. Good move by me!!!!

OK - we have two options and this is how I managed unrealized Thursday games all year. I never penalized anyone for missing a Thursday game because the deadline is Friday evening.

1. My picks stay as they are now OR
2. Everyone gets points for last night

Obviously I didn't know I added Thursday games to the list or I wouldn't have chosen them - pigskin doesn't list game days.


Who played last night?

Since most of us missed our pick on these 2 games, I vote for docking Jason for being late with his picks. :taunt:

what were the two games?

[regaleagle]

Paris/Crandall and Raymondville/Sinton

[speedbump]

Paris/Crandall and Raymondville/Sinton

I think we should be lien.... lin... lee.... not too hard on him. He let a couple of us off easy during the season.

[regaleagle]

I think we should be lien.... lin... lee.... not too hard on him. He let a couple of us off easy during the season.

Yeah.....but he still was the winner of the Pick Em contest and he's the one making the weekly game selections. Not sayin' anything negative.......just a very questionable set of circumstances when you consider all the other players in the game. I mean.....what are the odds, Huh? I think he has a slight advantage over the field as it stands.

[regaleagle]

Let's get more input and votes on this issue.......you are leading w/ Jason for the year, speedbump.....you can afford to be gracious, LOL. OOPS.....you are in 3rd behind Jason and Roughneck. Heck speedbump.......this technical fumble by Jason could really boost your overall chances, hahaha.

[jason]

Just to avoid the appearance of impropriety...

I'll take the loss on the Sinton/Raymondville game, since it was a 'toss up' if you will, even though I don't think it was never a doubt on who would win...

The crandall/paris game was a gimme and everyone got that one, so it will stand...

Good?

[jason]

As far as me having some sort of advantage, please, enlighten me...

[regaleagle]

As far as me having some sort of advantage, please, enlighten me...

I figure you do a little background on the teams before selecting the games for the weekly picks.....which could be construed as a "slight" advantage.

I think everybody lost the Paris/Crandall game......Paris was upset 28-7.

Good?

I think with your Raymondville/Paris picks.......you are 0-2. The good thing is almost everyone else is too except for a few that are 1-1.

Lololol

Oh. I thought they were both right, that's why there's such a fuss.

Geez Crandall bear Paris?!?

[jason]

Nope. Get the list of games, look at games people have mentioned on the downlow, look for "marquee" matchups (uil, ncaa, and nfl) and go from there.

[waterboy]

I think with your Raymondville/Paris picks.......you are 0-2. The good thing is almost everyone else is too except for a few that are 1-1.

I should've went with my first instinct in the Crandall / Paris matchup. I took some chances this week. Hopefully they'll pan out.

[jason]

It's first round, plenty of time to play catch up.
There will likely be 20 games every week from here on out.

[jason]

Ok - Overall we had a pretty good week - we did above average as a group. Games will only get harder from here out - I am trying to find games where the spread is a touchdown or less. There shouldn't be any Thursday games this week. If there are everyone will get a point for them)

Last week's most missed game was Decatur over Abilene Wylie.
1 person got that one right.

There was a three way tie for the most correctly picked game - everyone got these right:
Van over Princeton
China Spring over Taylor
Liberty Hill over Boerne
