Default Beat the Prick update

First of all just let me say

WTF??

Cowboys lead the Iggles 24-3??????????

Don't get me wrong - this is very good news for Prick beaters but I am just very surprised. If he hadn't taken Philly, I probably would have.

So the Prick missed his Best Bet, picked up a point with the Longhorns and now has Philly -3

Prick = -1 points with Philly pending.

Looks like we should have a full complement of winners this week.

I might collect with only a best bet winner! I got 0 points for the week and I might get a c-note because of it! Thanks Prick!

O points might not cut it ! That's the best I can do also, with a Jax win. You beat me by posts, though. I think low post zeros, won't cut it. There must be a good number of people with better records, it may be very close !

Actually, a lot of people missed their best bets. I agree with you that low 0's won't pay, but you never know!

There are up to 20 winners.

If you've got 2 points and 90 posts, your chances are very good. I haven't actually gone and checked every result - so it's theoretically possible there has been some miraculously freaky week where every single person with a lot of posts has 2 or more points - but I'd say your chances are very good.

I just did a double check... looks like there are already right around 20 people w/ 2 or more pts already and 6 people that have a chance at 2 or more w/ Jax/Cincy pending... so 2 pts won't be enough for some people. Also noticed most posters took Jax (me included).

Go Jags!!!!

In order to beat The Prick this week, you had to win your best bet or go 2-1 with a best bet loser. A lot of people lost their best bets so we'll see where the cut is.

Nice job. Congrats to all of the other money winners. I managed to go exactly 0-3 in my first week of picking. This stuff is a lot tougher than it looks! I'm already considering doing the "opposite" of what my gut instincts are telling me for my next weeks picks.
