2024 One & Done Pick 'Em Contest ® - Week 3 Results, a New Champion is crowned!!! 50-Yard-Line??

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

I was all set to pick the Chargers, until I saw so many others doing the same,

so give me the Ravens in week 2 to win

Wanting the Ravens to win? Yuck. I will hold my nose though. Raiders suck

Was going to pick the Chargers, but everyone seems to be there...so I'll stay with the Bears and take the Texans.

Week 1: Bears
Week 2: Texans

It looks like this pool will be running for a while the way Carolina is going. It may take them into next season to get a win.

I'm wrestling with this week's choice. Had it narrowed down to LAC and The WFT since Tuesday but there's this vague sense of unease about taking Washington. Why does Vegas have the line so tight on that game? That line opened at 3 then quickly dropped to 1.5 and has stayed there. They didn't build Vegas 'cause The Man doesn't know his stuff...

Can't look at the line in these games. You are just picking win/lose. Don't let the line influence you.

As for washington, I wouldn't touch that game with a ten foot pole... You never know what will happen in a division rivalry game. But thats just me. Feel free to exercise the whole "you do you" thing.

I think I already posted I'm being daring week 2 Patriots.

To an extent the line influences how I look at the probability of a win/loss. In most instances one would certainly expect a team favored by 6+ to at least win the game. My philosophy with suicide picks is to take the 'weakest' team I'd be willing to put money on. Not that I've been wildly successful with that approach. Of the dozens of suicide pools I've done over the years I've only won a few. But better some 'system' than none?

Fwiw... One of the things I look at is trends... Like buffalo v miami... Buffalo has beaten the fins a lot over the last few years etc...
