**SIGN UP** unOFFICAL VSN pick league.

[Tailback U]

Some really tough picks this week.

 

[Esjay]

I honestly think this is easier than picking games straight up.

Sitting in first place and I really screwed up the first week, too, because I didn't really understand how this works.

I didn't even enter picks the 1st week and the second week I only got 4. Am I looking at this thing correctly? Am I in 1st or am I retarded...or both?

You're in first by like 3 games.

 

[nflman2033]

wow, Chicago and the points seemed like a Lock to me, guess thats why the guys in Vegas have their jobs.. have to win tonight or i am 7-7 this week.

we didn't do Week 1

 

[Esjay]

Got 9 wins this week. Moved to about the middle of the pack, ready to keep moving up.

 

[Aso]

I'm falling to the middle of the pack after last week.

 

[nflman2033]

2nd overall, with a drop of 8 isn't too bad really.

lol...I'm embarrassed to admit that I really didn't completely understand betting against the spread. I just picked who I thought would win in week 2 and only got 4 points.

When I saw the spread, "-2.5" or whatever, I'd just pick whoever I thought would win. Plus I had no concept of what a "huge" spread is. I figured a 3 pt spread is nothing, when in actuality it looks pretty standard.

I still don't understand the 1/2 points. Somebody explain that to me.

Also, are home teams automatically given a few points? And how do the line shifts over the course of the week, are they based on actual betting or what?

i've always felt the early line is the best to go by

well half points is one way to guarantee an outcome, week 2 the lions game was a push because they lost by the exact spread of 3 points. if the line had been 3.5 points then they would have won and everyone who took the Lions and the Points would win.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

The line changes based on betting or injury. Sometimes youll see OFF until a players injury status is declared.
The more a team is bet on the more likely the spread will change to reflect that. Bet takers want even betting.

Im having a bitch of a time picking Den/Bal. Cincy/TB

 

[nflman2033]

oh boy, not a good start today, good thing that my drop to this point is 8 cause I am going to need to use my drop this week.

 

[Esjay]

I really really need Washington and Tampa to pull out wins.

 

[nflman2033]

I really really need Washington and Tampa to pull out wins.

we got the tampa win, and you are about to get your Washington win.

 

[Esjay]

Could have actually got the Tampa pick right without them winning, oh well better safe than sorry.

6 points today so far. Not what I was hoping for but I'll take it.

 

[KINGOFOOTBALL]

LOL @ noone picking Ari.

F' Garret and his refusal to learn what a running game is.

Yeah right now I am not sure I want to cheer for the Cowboys, a horrible season could mean the end of the Jason Garrett era(at least I hope)

yeah 5 wins going into tonight, so yeah this week will be my new drop. even with that nobody is catching Tailback U who has 7 going into tonight.

 

[EmpireWF]

Next week, unless things change, got some crazy underdogs
