    Not a single taker on the Bears last night. Hmm. I wonder who’s worse? The Bears or the WST?

    All of us pickers should of known better. After all this is the NFL. Average team goes on road as a dog. Plays a top 5 undefeated team,takes them to OT. Team goes home as a favorite against a winless team. Gets trounced. Where have we seen this before.

    speaking of people who have been dropped on their head, i conjured up the inglorious decision to go 75% contrarian with last week's picks, banking on some serious NFL inexplicability to catch you guys off guard and gain ground. let's just say that stroke of genius flamed out spectacularly. now i'm only ahead of someone who isn't playing anymore. 😅

    @galaxy27 this year, with you being a contestant, you are experiencing the ebbs and flows, both emotional and physical, that come as a cornerstone of the Sports Talk picks contest experience. It is intense, yet subtle and not easily understood, like many of life's great pleasures.

    @thisistheshow

    trust me, i experience all of that and then some when sticking actual money on these games. you reach a point where you begin to question your own sanity.

    to his extreme credit, perk appears to be taking it in stride, but if a coach like Cristobal had blown up a lucrative parlay of mine by virtue of his idiocy, i would have put a professional help number on speed dial

    BTW I sucked last week but apparently I wasn’t the only one that had trouble picking straight up. But you know who did well? It was the biggest winning week for Vegas in 2 years and the bookies around the country are all digging new in ground swimming pools. Ugh

    I believe upon checking I had 8 wins and with 56 my total should be 64. Maybe iy am wrong. Well at least I got 4th place.
