MustOfBeenDrunk Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 There is 41 people in our pick-um pool and I'm the only one that took the Bills Now I have seen that much agreement before but never on a team favored by only 3 pts. 40 out of 41 are on the Jets - talk about a chance at separation in a close pool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STL Fan Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 There is 41 people in our pick-um pool and I'm the only one that took the Bills Now I have seen that much agreement before but never on a team favored by only 3 pts. 40 out of 41 are on the Jets - talk about a chance at separation in a close pool Also a chance to lose a spot to the whole league. It is weird that there are that many on the Jets, but I think it's a mistake to base your pick off that. If you really think the Bills are the pick, then go nuts. But don't get suckered in. Personally, I took the Jets as well in my pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I took the Jets as well in my pool. It's a pool where you give each team 1 through 16 points I have the Bills 3pts the rest of the league have the Jets all in the range of 9,10,11 or 12 pts. that is a big hit if the bills win and a small hit to me if the Jets win. I have only seen this when a team is favored by 2 TD's or more all year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustOfBeenDrunk Posted December 3, 2009 Author Share Posted December 3, 2009 FYI - PM me next season if anyone wants in. All done online and this pool has been going on for 8 years now $100.00 entry The guy running it does a great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 I like the Jets 20-13. Playing in Toronto is hardly a home game for the Bills. Under a dome, horrible run D against a top 3 run O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprofessor Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Solid pick given the fact that the Bills took NY to overtime last game, in NY, and should have won the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Confidence pool. Nod...Love those. Very tough to win. Almost tougher that picking spreads, if for no other reason you have to play all teams. Man, regardless of the team you pick that should be a low-confidence pick. I love confidence pools. +1 and +1. FYI - PM me next season if anyone wants in.All done online and this pool has been going on for 8 years now $100.00 entry The guy running it does a great job MOBD...if you could send me the rules I'd appreciate it. The one I was in for years allowed two entries. That's not a deal breaker, but I'd like to see the payouts, tiebreakers, etc. also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ced1001 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I have done the same for my confidence pool. Bills with 2 points. And the pool is based in NYC... so there's a little extra leverage there... Good fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL Fan Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 We have a pick 'em pool on our league website for the 12 teams, and the picks are revealed only after the game starts. Tonight 11 guys are on the Bills and I'm on the Jets. And in yours everyone is on the Jets and you're on the Bills. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
