I try to go with most obvious option every week in order to stay alive as long as possible. I don't think picking certain teams to save other teams for later is a good strategy

Seatle > Miami strikes me as the safest bet this week. Its week 1, miami has new coaching and stuff they need to sort out while Seatle is home with the 12s in the opener.

true but i wouldn't pick the eagles on... any other week so this was the week to pick them

Looking at my current eliminator bracket that i made for workplace pool of this, I don't use eagles at all and since there are 17 weeks and 32 teams, you don't have to use almost 1/2

PokerFace · Post Post #61 (isolation #8) » Mon Sep 12, 2016 4:59 am

seatle was safer than browns pick. eagles was safest pick it seems

I actually think sf will win tonight. LA off season according to hard knocks looked worse than SF off season to me. Though there are not a lot of future games I see SF winning

I don't use SF in my current eliminator either, but i bet against them alot

Fix your chart. Peg shouldn't be listed with 0 strikes. I thought Oakland would win, most of my picks tanked. This is why its best to go with sure things

PokerFace · Post Post #101 (isolation #12) » Mon Sep 19, 2016 3:43 am

I would agree with you anti on ten vs det. I considered making that pick, glad I did not.

I believe that's 3rd or 4th time in a row Rams have beat Seatle.

Oakland and GB looked like solid picks. I am surprised Bradford and ATL came to play

I'll make my next week pick tomorrow. Which two do you see KMD?

PokerFace · Post Post #103 (isolation #13) » Mon Sep 19, 2016 5:44 am

Betting against Sam Bradford is what I thought made that one safe

The very thought of Bradford performing better than Rogers last night seemed impossible in my mind

PokerFace · Post Post #105 (isolation #14) » Mon Sep 19, 2016 6:49 am

I am leaning toward DET < GB
GB home opener DET is detroit
Would not consider solid but looks most solid compared to what else is going on next week

PokerFace · Post Post #107 (isolation #15) » Mon Sep 19, 2016 7:05 am

If TB didn't lay such and egg against ARI I'd consider TB. This is their home opener and Rams have looked bad, bu if that D can hold Seatle, they should be able to hold TB

If i had not just used CAR they would be good vs MIN

PokerFace · Post Post #108 (isolation #16) » Mon Sep 19, 2016 7:10 am

Are your two PIT and ARI?

those are viable but I don't like betting on away teams

You are exactly who I was talking about Anti. You and I said Dallas would probably be good in advance of PHI > CHI. I will give defender all the credit too if we end up wrong though.

At least you are beating me in fantasy football Panzer since I have Palmer. Looks like I will be starting Derek Carr a lot more this year.

PokerFace · Post Post #165 (isolation #25) » Sun Sep 25, 2016 9:22 am

Browns kickers misses two kicks. Fumble happens near end of 4th. Game tied Browns ball with 20 seconds left. Browns kneel to get field position. Spend time out. Kicker misses 3rd kick of the day. Overtime for Browns vs Miami

I really wish we had run 1-2 passing plays during that 20 seconds. Could have gotten td or at least better positioning for a guy that clearly needed it

smh I could coach the browns better some times

Four people with no strikes. Go Cowboys!

Some eliminators are about NEVER getting a strike. I believe Llama and PEG stopped guessing last year after their first strikes

Poker's Picks week 4

MIA < CIN
IND < JAX
CAR < ATL
BUF < NE
DET < CHI
CLE < WAS
TEN < HOU
OAK < BAL
SEA < NYJ (No russel)
DEN > TB
DAL > SF (This is where I realize I only picked two away teams)

Who do I pick for eliminator. I m not sure at the moment. Deciding between CIN, MIN, and HOU. Leaning toward Houston since GIA > MIA > TEN and betting on Andy Dalton in prime time seems to bite you more than picking rivalry games

PokerFace · Post Post #176 (isolation #28) » Tue Sep 27, 2016 5:49 am

Bold^ I consider OAK vs BAl to be the hardest game to pick this week

PokerFace · Post Post #179 (isolation #29) » Tue Sep 27, 2016 7:18 am

KC and PIT squared off last year and so I feel we have seen more of them recently compared to what KMD said. Last time OAK and BAL played was 2012. I feel its easier to gauge something you saw recently than two teams with different opponents who have not played each other in awhile. KC vs pit is 2nd hardest game though imo

This is one of the many reasons why I don't save teams. I spend them when they are best choice. Time to start this week's most obvious wagon...

ARI < SF (Palmer might not play. SF almost beat DAL. LA did beat ARI)
CHI < IND (IND travels back from London. This was gonna be my pick until I realized that and saw CHI beat DET. CHI pulling an upset would not surprise me)

NE

PHI > DET
TEN < MIA (Would not be surprise if TEN gets this either)
HOU < MIN
NYJ < PIT
WAS < BAL
ATL < DEN
BUF < LA
CIN < DAL (CIN would not surprise me given they got extra prep time with the thursday game last week)
SD < OAK

After miami, pit plays new england. pit does shit the bed sometimes, but as they have new england coming soon, I think they will be less likely to shit the bed. And more likely to be at their best pre-new england

When pit has shit bed in past, it has usually been once a year. I think the philly game qualifies as this years shitting

PokerFace · Post Post #252 (isolation #41) » Thu Oct 13, 2016 3:06 am

How many of those losses were before playing really good opponents the next week?

I consider the PIT lost to PHI earlier this year a bed shitting since Carson has not yet proven himself. He beat Cleveland and Chicago and lost to Detroit. PIT was clearly their toughest opponent and they didn't have Bell for that matchup so I can't say PHI has impressed me this year

PokerFace · Post Post #255 (isolation #42) » Thu Oct 13, 2016 11:03 pm

I don't think HOU will win but given SD did beat DEN, I wouldn't bet on DEN next week

MIN is a much safer bet. PHI has not yet proven itself in my mind. MIN is undefeated and PHI is dealing with a losing streak.

I have won this 3 strike game twice overall, but never been the last person to get their 1st strike. I've always had to make a comeback. Though this is an off year for me especially if you consider how bad I'm doing in the ms fantasy football league

Tie Games
In the event a game should end in a tie after overtime, players that had selected teams in the game as their picks for that week will neither be recorded with a Winning Pick or a Strike.

Well seems I took the week off. Better than getting my 3rd strike and being out. I already had two strikes

I'm also technically 1 point lower than anyone else still alive since I didn't get a victory.

If everyone gets knocked out but me, I will need to win an additional week after that to be declared the winner.

Smith ain't playing, KC will have Foles in. Foles was good in philly before injury and chip misuse. Foles did not do well for Rams. BUT the important thing is KC def > JAX def so I'm sticking to it. If anyone can turn things around for Foles, its the guy who drafter him in Ed Ried. Foles did good last week against Colts. Colt Defense is comparable to JAX imo

Week 12 in the books for most part. If Defender gets 3 more corrects he will have 15 correct and only be capable of getting 2 strikes in remaining weeks.

If he wins 3 more, I believe he wins it all as he can't be eliminated and no one left can beat a 12-15 streak or strike less than twice

PokerFace · Post Post #355 (isolation #65) » Mon Nov 28, 2016 7:52 am

Two years ago Gams made it through the season with two strikes. That's the best we've seen, and I could always fall apart Week 15.

I think you are correct. You reach week 15 with no strikes and you play for best performance ever title instead of against the 4 of us

I just realized something. Last year we had 16 contestants and the game ended at week 12 when I was only one left

This year we have 21 contestants and 16 of them have been eliminated as of the completion of week 12

Interesting coincidence

PokerFace · Post Post #368 (isolation #70) » Sun Dec 04, 2016 6:17 am

First post lists everyone's picks. You have never used denver. I personally want SF to win as it gives the browns the power to win without losing first overall win

Either Browns are second team ever to go 0-16 or they beat CIN next week. With AJ Green and Bernard down, it is CLE's best and probably only chance to get a win this year

PokerFace · Post Post #369 (isolation #71) » Sun Dec 04, 2016 9:33 am

CHI winning would puts a hamper on my hopes for the browns. Hopefully Denver still wins and I will at least get something out of today

PokerFace · Post Post #374 (isolation #72) » Mon Dec 05, 2016 2:51 am

I want to pick Detroit but if I they win, that would give defender 14 points and me 11. Most I can get total is 14 since a tie is not a point. So if Defender went 3 and out after that, would I win because I was still alive and he was not, would I only be able to tie it at 14-14, or would I lose because he has longer winning streak than me? Pablito can I get a ruling on what options I have please?

I may have to bet it all on Chicago to have a chance.

PokerFace · Post Post #376 (isolation #73) » Mon Dec 05, 2016 4:22 am

So I can still win while picking Detroit. Then

Detroit

it is

If I could not win I was gonna bet it all on Chicago. You got to play to win the game. If tie was my only option, i'd have still bet on CHI. Denver was right to kick when they played KC. That or go for it was only choices they had. Punting would have been playing for a tie and you don't play for a tie, you play to win the game

I have rooted for the browns at their worst of moments throughout my life, bring it!

GJ Defender. I could not admit defeat and play for second place. You play to win the game. Been living on borrowed time since that tie game anyway. GG All

Surviving the season isn't worth anything, is it? D3fender already won

PokerFace · Post Post #391 (isolation #80) » Tue Dec 20, 2016 4:23 am

I thought I made it through the season in 2013. Need to find that games thread, I remember winning it but I don't remember if I survived the season

BS2000 and gamsimbre survived 2014 with BS2000 as main winner. (T-Bone won Playoff games only)

I won 2015 but no one survived it all

2013 Season
2012 Season

Strikes were not done those seasons. Had strikes been done I would have survived

PokerFace · Post Post #393 (isolation #82) » Tue Dec 20, 2016 4:37 am

I feel there was a 2011 season somewhere as well though strikes were not done there either.

I forget which of 3 I survived but I recall finishing one of those 3 with only two wrong answers

If you don't want to count those seasons because they didn't have strike rules that's fine, I can always get better next year

NYG > PHI
ATL < CAR Upset!

WAS > CHI

SD

> CLE
MIN < GB
TEN > JAX (Tennessee going to playoffs)
NYJ < NE
IND < OAK
SF > LA
TB > NO (Tampa going to playoffs)
ARI < SEA
CIN > HOU

In post 397, D3f3nd3r wrote:Pabs I see what you did there

Marking the strike on you is lolz. If he mixed up that you bet on miami instead of dom, it would not surprise me since i been mixing you too up in my head some. Double Ds can mess with any man's head

Go LA Chargers!

PokerFace · Post Post #401 (isolation #86) » Wed Dec 21, 2016 6:05 am

I honestly think both jacksonville and miami will lose this week. Rex not going down without a fight. Tanehill injured, Moore is in. Tennessee going to playoffs

Let D3fender have what he wants, he is going to pay for it. Trust me Pabs! You can always make him lose by force on week 17. Let him lose this one legitimately

PokerFace · Post Post #404 (isolation #87) » Thu Dec 22, 2016 3:38 am

Damnit I didn't think you'd believe me when I said
MIA < BUF
SD > CLE
At least I've already lost at this point

Surviving this season would have been nice but as I still feel like I've done that before, and since I won last year, there was little for me to play for at all. Competing directly against who was currently winning felt most thrilling thing to do. Too bad Rams fired their coach before a thursday game. They should have waited at least one more game before they did that. Or fired Fisher before the year even started. That would have also been a good decision by the rams. Browns may be bad at making QB decisions but at least the rams are worst at coaching decisions

Yes. Only the grinchiest of teams like Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Kansas, and Denver want their players on the field instead of with their families on Christmas

As a Browns fan who works at a company whose biggest competitor is in Kansas City, I am not surprised by the actions of these shit teams

I guess D3fender is with SD now given his last post. I think SD will win too. Should Browns win, it will be a Christmas Eve Miracle

PokerFace · Post Post #413 (isolation #89) » Sat Dec 24, 2016 10:21 am

Christmas Eve Miracle! I am fine with 3 and 1/2 strikes or 4 and 1/2 strikes. However you look at it I am dead and Cleveland won.

D3fender will still win it all and have longest streak of 15. But will he have best record ever of only 1 strike? Find out next week!

PokerFace · Post Post #415 (isolation #90) » Sat Dec 24, 2016 11:53 am

Mariota got injured. Miami also won. D3f3nder is welcome to hate on me for convincing him to bet against Cleveland

I won't be giving a lock next week. As I would have 3 and 1/2 strikes since "did anyone really think I would bet rams outside of trying to beat D3f3nder?" Just about any other game would have been a safer bet that week.

PokerFace · Post Post #417 (isolation #91) » Mon Dec 26, 2016 10:07 pm

Week 17 (No lock game but other picks still given)

BUF > NYJ
CHI < MIN
BAL > CIN
CLE < PIT
DAL > PHI Romo should get some play time to get trade value
HOU > TEN
JAX < IND
NE > MIA
CAR < TB
NO < ATL
OAK < DEN
KC > SD
ARI > LA
NYG < WAS
SEA > SF
GB < DET

PokerFace · Post Post #419 (isolation #92) » Tue Dec 27, 2016 3:15 am

Most consecutive in a row is 15 held by you

The least strikes ever received was 2. You will have the record either via tie or solo after next week

I'd be quite happy if I was in your shoes. You can't lose, only win less

PokerFace · Post Post #422 (isolation #93) » Sun Jan 01, 2017 12:31 pm

D3f3nder wins setting best season and streak record ever

Pablito, dominator, and Haschel finish tied for second

I got 5th place without or without betting on rams. SD would have killed me had I bet on buffalo over rams

GG everyone. Should we do a playoff eliminator where 1 strike you are out and you can't use same teams twice?

Poker's Playoff Picks

OAK

> HOU
MIA < PIT
DET < SEA
NYG > GB

PokerFace · Post Post #425 (isolation #95) » Mon Jan 09, 2017 2:15 pm

Well that was fast. SEA was team most likely to win last week but I had to save them given this is different than regular season games where there are more teams to go arround. I had to pick that game as winner was most likely to lose to patriots this week. I'd give more picks but gonna save that for D3fenders game.

Goodbye everyone, see you next year
