I’m seriously torn tonight. Here’s the reason why. I took the 49ers +9 points in 3 teasers with the Chiefs-1 and the 49ers under 51 yesterday. But my 3rd teaser was with the Bears +12. So my best outcome will be the Rams win by less than 12 and both teams score over 47 points. Then I pick up the $50 teaser and keep the $25 prize in Mrs. 2dueces purse.

Last week I tied for most wins and lost on points tie breaker. This week 10 wins and still alive. I hope the odds makes are watching. I’m the Rodney Daingerfield of the message boards. I get no respect I tell ya, no respect.

What you guys could do as they sometimes do in poker tournies at the end when the chip stacks are similar between a few players...agree to equally split up the total prize money. Then tonight's game results don't matter.
So then all three of you would receive $8.33 each, cold PayPal cash. 💵

Great idea except I offered to put up the prize so I’ll take my chances for the win. Ahh. Actually I win nothing. 😞

I steal from my wife's purse all the time. I've even trained the rat that lives in our kitchen to steal from her purse for me. That's a good boy Leonard, bring daddy mommy's money.
nothing from Darin; he's keeping a low profile and trying to sneak in after the Cardinals win. By the way, he was one of the scant few who picked the Cards last night.

So you either lose $25 or break even. Tough to make a profit doing that, even in high volume.

Good luck tonight.
JRR300- Just got home from work, but I think I only have 9 wins.
I picked Falcons, Texans, and Cowboys and they all lost, so I think I'm 9-3 going into tonight.
Unless I'm mistaken you said perk and 2deuces are 10-2 and they both picked different teams
tonight so one of them will be the winner? Correct? I'm mathematically eliminated I believe.
Check my work I hope I'm wrong.
@JRR300 said:
Darin, you are correct. I missed Texans debacle (I had them myself as well). thanks.
So that leaves just 2. Perkdog and 2Dueces will battle tonight for the prize.
I thought so. If I had just picked Green Bay like I should have I would be in it.
Good luck to perk and 2deuces, hoping for a really good game like the Seahawks and Cardinals last night.
I lost week one by 2 points in the overall Monday night games. The Browns crazy comeback with the Pats crusher did me in this week, for 9-4 finish. I have work to do!! Like Perk, love the Pats, but Cam isn't cutting it.
Maybe Paul will let me borrow the Corona Ladies for some better analysis.

The Bears let me down 😡. Nice Win Joe, congrats 🍻
i noticed your pick and although i appreciate your faith in my team, i felt a silver medal coming on for you
i love those guys but anyone who has seen my posts knows i'm a realist when it comes to sports, and the Bears were a 5-1 team in record only
i knew when they played a legit team like the Rams that their weaknesses on the offensive side of the ball would be exposed. that in turn put too much strain on the defense and special teams to make things happen, and ultimately they wore down last night. one unit tries to prevent the other team from scoring and the other tries to flip the field...........but you can't consistently ask them to do things above their pay grade like scoring points, too. (unless you're kicking FGs, which is another problem if you're kicking too many of them.)
basically when you have a high draft pick and whiff on the wrong quarterback (Trubisky), it has a trickle-down effect on the entire team and you end up sticking your finger in the dyke for years. and that's what's happening to the Bears right now.
Bears let me down too. Foles throwing pics in the end zone when the score was 17-3. Live another day. Take the 3 and give your team a lift. The Bears whiffed on Trubisky.
The perfect scenario is trade Trubisky to Dallas, get what you can. Draft a running QB, retool the offense like Arizona and Baltimore and rely on a great defense to win games. You might not win a Super Bowl but you won’t suffer like last night.

I was assuming the Bears D would really bust up Goff and Foles would do some comeback magic. I was wrong but either way that’s the way Football goes. Next week the Bears will probably play like it’s 1985 again and the Rams will lay down lol
Reading @thisistheshow ‘s post in the pick em thread and how much he enjoys the contests I will again raid Mrs Dueces purse for the $25 prize money for this week contest. I know how much fun it is and the group we have is very cordial in their ribbing. So for you @thisistheshow and this great group let’s do week 8. I’ll let you guys decide who’s running it.

Absolutely, I love the Pats but have zero confidence in them this season. 🤷♂️
Go Bears 🐻!! 👍👍

Looks like 2 Dueces can take that money from his left pocket and put it into his right.
So all this work and no money made?
Reminds me of some of my Ebay sales. LOL
Bragging rights!! Way better than money. Lol

Congrats to 2Dueces. 11-2 is rather impressive. Steve K may have to revise the odds if we do this again!
Felicidades! @2dueces
Congrats 2Dueces, well done.

With the Galaxy scratch, 2dueces became the morning line favorite. So his form held up.
Yes, the odds on 2dueces may have to be revised after that impressive performance, depends on the other entrees.

I think on the next contest, 2dueces should be made to spot everyone else 1 or 2 games to give the rest of us a fighting chance.
Are we doing this again this week? Any benefactors???
is dueces' money that he won from himself still live? i don't mind running the show this weekend if so
