    Default Txdl Weekly Pick'em - 2017 Playoff Edition - Round 2

    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


    Round 1 Playoff Results (also the overall playoff leaderboard for now):

    Those teams down south are just too inconsistent to pick......you have to be watching/reading the weekly articles about them to understand who's really good and who isn't. I miss those picks all the time. It just kills me in the pick em contest. Jason just loves throwing in those Region 4 teams cuz he knows we can't pick em right. Give me Region 1 & 2 any day.....even 6-man, LOL. I mean......they are hard to pick even for the locals.
    Yesterdays are gone forever and tomorrows may never happen, but today you have the opportunity to make a difference.

    Thank you Jason - makes Reg IV not feel like the red headed step children

    Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

    I took a lot more chances at the upsets this past week. It didn't work well for me at all. I won't be trying to make up ground any more. I'll just go with my gut from here on out....

    I reckon I'll be the first one to pick this week.....so here goes.

    Ohio State
    Auburn
    Notre Dame
    Washington State
    LSU
    Converse Judson
    DeSoto
    Westlake
    Cedar Park
    Hirschi
    Decatur
    Seminole
    Carter
    Bay City
    Henderson
    Kilgore
    Melissa
    Jasper
    Belleville
    Navarro.......Geronimo!! That's it folks! And Good Luck to everyone......Happy Thanksgiving to all.

    I think we should have a bonus game......everybody gets to select a winner of the game of his choice. Naturally, I'll take Argyle in my bonus selection game, LOL. But if you are wrong on your bonus game pick......you get docked 2 points. How's that sound to everybody???

    BTW.......the rule should be that the bonus game selection cannot be part of that week's regular picks. OR.....Jason could establish a bonus game for you to pick, or you can choose your own game not on the list.
    Or maybe we should make the bonus game worth more.......4 points to win or lose to give those wanting to make up ground on the leaders a chance. At least it gives them another way to make up some ground......or to lose even more, LOL. For the leaders, you may want to give 2 points for a correct pick, but subtract 3 points for an incorrect bonus pick. Just some suggestions to consider.
