I thought long and hard about that one. They have an extra 3 days of prep and Seattle looked pretty bad.

 

Seahawks have a way of coming back.  But they need to get a pass rush and a pass defense.  Mr. Goff will slice 'n' dice 'em, just like Stafford did.

Ha! Just read this quick bio on him. Like that he mentions Luigi’s (just a few blocks from us) as an answer to this question 

 

AD: If Lil Mo was stranded on a deserted island, what three Italian American treats are you taking with you?

 

I would go with a square slice from DaVinci’s (Bensonhurst, Brooklyn), a regular slice from Luigi’s (Park Slope, Brooklyn), or a calzone from Lucali’s.

So you might go and get a pie from Luigi's and then share a photo of it for your buds in the Lounge? I'd appreciate seeing it as pizza is one of my favorite foods. 

What is a large pizza from a popular quality independent pizza shop going for these days in NYC BSC? I'm curious.

@chisag

@doctoro

 

You are the only two left to submit picks for week 2. 

[doctoro]

I am late I will own it 

But life happens I was working, and out in the early evening, chiropractor and groceries

My apologies I knew it was Wednesday but forgot about a time stamp mandate.

 

I will need to adjust to making picks so early in the week...no time to research, not a lot of injury news, so this will be tough.

 

And away we go...

Seattle at Detroit Under 50.5

Chicago + 3 @ Tampa 

San Fran -7 @ Rams  PP Pick Taking The Niners -7

 

San Francisco is the best team in the league at this point of the season

It can change but they are better than any team in the league right now

 

 

 

[touch]

These are the Point Values

 

Standard Pick

A correct pick is worth 5 points.

A tie or push is worth +2 points.

There are Zero points for a loss. 

 

Power Play 

 

Power Play hits you win +20 points.

Power Play pushes/ties win +5 points.

Power Play loses LOSE -10 points.

doc, do see a few posts up that I changed the pick's posted by deadline to Friday's at 5 PM. The more I thought about it Wednesday was too early in the week. 

 

Remember gents you can change any of your picks right up until kickoff. 

 

Thanks for your picks and there will be no warning for tardiness for either you or @chisag .

My numbers were off on my earlier post...these are the correct odds!  My bad.

The master list above in purple is incorrect as it shows me with Detroit instead of LA Chargers.   

 

WK2 PICKS:

 

MINN/PHIL  OVER 48 1/2

LA CHARGERS -3 

DALLAS  -3

That is right Mr. Statistician, this season you have "regular status".

 

nsx is not the only rookie this year. With him in the "Newbie Club" is 

imk, Mocha Man, chisag, BC, and TL. 

 

So we have a half a dozen rookies this season.

Cocky ?

 

You watch, I'll be down to .500 almost as quickly as A-Rod's season ended.

 

I'm already out of the Super Bowl by picking the "A-Rods".

@nsxguy and @chisag have identical looking avatars to me unless I look closer. I am old and wear reading glasses yes , but I can't be the only one who sees a small dark maroon and black circle at first glance for both of them. 

It's confusing. 

 

One of you could borrow a profile pic from NorCal. He has a plentiful supply and I'm sure he'd lend one out. 😁

Ping G20, 5-PW, DGS300 Yellow Dot

 

you're a fairly tall fellow aye?  

 

I like your sticks. I could play them all with shafts that were suitable for me. 

We both have PING wedges and an Epic Flash of some sort in the bag. 👊

Not really. Slightly above average; 5'10"

 

I self-fit myself in 2012. Used a lie board (not the best way) and got a bit more than 1* upright so went with yellow dot (1.5* at that time) figuring if the lie is going to "cost me" a bit of direction I'd rather it be to the draw side.

Me too 5' 10"

 

That works. Hell a Lie Board and some sole tape/or sticker  was how I self fitted for over a decade. 🙂

 

I've said it numerous times on WRX that I have always liked PING irons. I've bet for 20 of the 40+ years I have in the game there has been a set in my bag. 

They engineer and make good stuff down in Phoenix.

Huge News !  

I came up with something new last night for the contest and it will be starting today.      

 

The Prime Time Triple Play or "PTTP".

Here is how it works. 

Every week there are 3 Prime Time games. Thursday, Sunday, and Monday nights (this week there are two Monday Night games). 

You make a pick in All Three Prime Time games. The picks can be sides or totals.

If you win one, two, or all three the point values are as such. 

Hit one out of three  Zero Points

Hit two out of three  10 Points

Hit all three out of three 20 points

 

Please when you tally your results for the week make your PTTP points stand out separately from your other points so Big Fish can keep the PTTP points in its' own category. The PTTP points will be added in with your points for the week, it's just I want to keep a separate category in the standings for the Prime Time Play so we can crown a PTTP champion.

 

Here is an example of how to post your results each week.

LP  Results Week 2 

Jacksonville  W             +5

Philadelphia W              +5

KC/Detroit Ovr  L             0

PTTP                                 +10 

Total  for the week     +20

 

I think this new play will add some fun and excitement to all the televised Prime Time games. 

 

If you have any questions just ask me.

@NJBigFish22 you have permission to make a pick for @imkirby34 in tonight's game since he is still possibly across the pond or traveling back to the States.
