Default Test - Makewayhomer vs. PatriotsReign

This thread will be used to settle the debate over the value of statistics vs. football knowledge in a "Test" involving the predictions of each weeks games between Makewayhomer and PatriotsReign.

So MWH, my understanding of the rules is that we are to post our predictions vs. the CBS sportline (I'm ok with that) spread on Wednesday of each week and then tally our totals each week and then run a cumulative total moving forward. If there is anything you want to add, please feel free.

Since I am not very familiar with the CBS sportsline spreads, you can post them here each Wednesday morning or earlier.

The contest will begin with the games beginning 11/22/07 or Thanksgiving.

sounds good. just to clarify, we are going to pick every single game, right?

also, the loser will donate $50 to the charity of choice of the winner.

also, just let me know if you want to start with the 4pm and night games this week.

lastly, good luck

Next week is good. The longer you have to study your numbers, the worse it is for you!

I think there may be a charity this board sponsors if you feel that is ok.

Good luck to you too!

Makewayhomer,

As I discussed on the thread your arrogant thread, "Concepts some posters could benefit from learning", I am withdrawing from our proposed "contest".

I read through most of your post history and saw that you have consistently posted with an arrogance and pompous tone since the day you joined this site. I challenge anyone here to do read through your posts to make up their own minds.

You would be the only one who would gain from this contest and the last thing this board needs is the chance of you becoming more righteous than you already are.

Maybe there is someone else who would like to take my place but my hope is that everyone else will see this for what it is...an opportunity for YOU. And brother, you just don't deserve one!

One week of predictions isn't going to prove anything. It's called a small sample size. If you really want to do something interesting, pick over the course of the remainder of the season.

If he won, then you donate $50 to Bread of Life. Who cares if he gets to gloat, a good cause wins in the end.

If either one of you had balls....at this point, you BOTH should make the bets and most of all, bet or no bet --make the donation.

I'll make it easy for you....see below:


From our resident capologist's (Miguel) page:


A long-time family friend, my youngest sister's best friend, is on the board of directors of a soup kitchen and food pantry in Malden, Massachusetts that serves over 400 low-income and homeless families per month. I am asking that if you have found my salary cap pages useful that if you are able to do so, please make a donation to the Bread of Life soup kitchen/food pantry. Their address is

Bread of Life
511 Main Street
Malden, MA 02148-3918
ATTN: Mea Quinn Mustone

Please mention this website with your donation. If you have any corrections, suggestion, questions, and/or comments, please feel free to ask me a question on the PatsFans.Com message board or email me at miguel at patsfans.com.
