Who's gonna flip for their ND win? Love watching and seeing who's gonna "dive for the line"

 

[crowman_23]

As the AE commish, I couldn't be happier for the BIG FINISH we have for the ND Play-Offs as there are a few intriguing scenarios. superfreak trails iluvparis by a couple points, who has saved his best for last (dropping six in a row was ugly form) since taking over Dirty Bird. simonoz has moved to 8-4, awaiting the MNF result. BeLikeMike (7-4) can join SimonOz if he can collect the win over fuey who leads by a solitary point but it's ironic that both ILuvParis and BeLikeMike will perhaps need to take the outsider on MNF.

Billiever has turned it UP in the last stretch to press 11sjw for a win and the Champ Bailey Division title as it's one heck of a comeback from 20 in arrears with two less winners selected!!

bgt2110, Fuey and ChafingtheDream are in the box seats (they control their own destinies) on MNF. The same can be said for Superfreak. Just in case of the upset, the likes of Crowman23 and Showbag will need to prepare themselves as it's surely @Crowman23 one point in adv with Crowman having an 8 and Showbag a 9CR for MNF.

Rashmanadon (7-4) is currently leading bloods33 by a solitary point. Bloods33 owns the moment for MNF but the pressure is on him as DZE looms and the 14CR is a big carrot.

Danielz23 and Chism (both 7-4) will need to extract something for MNF if they are committed for the ND Play-Offs but Danielz23 may choose to take a moment to re-consider his choice as it's an 8CR that could be an invaluable difference to being a podium finish vs missing out all together as Broken and Aussiedude continue to press closer.

The Walter Jones Divisional title fight is really gonna push it all the way.. prawnographer has fought back from a ten point deficit to be up by ONE meaning Jatz may need to consider taking a chance on the road team but will Prawnographer play the double bluff mind games ??

Hide & Zeke and balmainforever are in difficult situations.. more than likely hanging by a corroded thread.

So, looks like I'm going to lose.... am I any chance at all? What do I need to happen? This post has confused me more!

Aside your handle on your Hot Streak pan is getting hotter.. it's a different heat in ND as you're already ahead, like 11sjw you're not obligated to pick the Texans as the fate is outta your hands. You can pick the favoured Ravens and know that most in the DZE danger zone are amongst the Leaderboard who wouldn't want to sacrifice their position so you can feel that you've got less to lose.

SimonOz (8-4) has already won meaning it's him in the Wildcard spot challenging Superfreak. You've got Showbag (6-4-1) to haggle with for the Division title IF Walesy picks different to bgt2110 (7-4). The criteria for the ND Division is:

1. Overall record W/L/T % (Showbag leads Oscarman by 6 with box seat on MNF)
2. Head to head (you guys both tied)
3. Divisional record (Needs Oscarman to roll Showbag as you're even with Showbag)
4. CR points.. you lead by 1 atm.
5. Conference record : All square
6. Common Opponents: Showbag leads 2-1

Houston win and I'm in. C'MON TEXANS!!!

 

[Jatz]

Houston win and I'm in. C'MON TEXANS!!!

Yeah likewise!

 

[fuey]

You trying to get in my head fuey??

By being nice???

That's probably the first and only time I'll ever be accused of such a thing!

 

[Demonic Ascent]

**** you Tom Savage

 

[Demonic Ascent]

**** you Tom Savage

Yep, **** you Tom Savage x2

 

[aussiedude]

Jags cost me HRS.

F**k you Jags

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Congrats fuey division title went down to the wire!

 

[Woodson]

 

[11sjw]

Yep, **** you Tom Savage x2

x3

 

[Chism]

x3

X4!

 

[balmainforever]

I can’t believe that anyone could honestly blame Savage. I blame the coach for playing him.

I can’t believe that anyone could honestly blame Savage. I blame the coach for playing him.

I blame me for trusting my Chiefs and the Jags with high CRs. Leaving it to wanting a Tom Savage led team to get an upset win is really clutching at straws.

 

[Oscarman]

Jags cost me HRS.

F**k you Jags

Yeah **** the Jags.

HOT STREAK UPDATE

Coming to the end of the third season of Hot Streak, there seems to be two oft followed paths to Hot Streak glory.

The first path is throw as many picks at the board hoping to get on, or close to, the leaderboard and, once there, the second path opens where just a couple of, hopefully, sound selections are made each week trying to make it to the front.

Of those throwing caution to the wind this week we saw Oscarman and pedge7 correctly adding 8 selections to move to 10 Burningleviathan also added 8 to move to 9 while hide & zeke put the poor selection of Dallas behind him to rattle off a string of picks to zoom to 9. redbulljunkie found his wings and also moved from 0 to 9 and sergios_realm went from 0 to his season best streak of 8
Will they take the same approach next week, or will they follow the steady, steady approach while the remaining games dwindle?

The steady approach was, as expected, the method of choice for those at the front of the chasing pack. The top 5 combined to make 18 selections from a possible 80 games.
The Patriots and Steelers were the leaders choice this week with a bit of love for Philadelphia.
Those winners saw fuey take his active streak from 19 to 22, to be the current active leader, and move closer to the season leading 24 of crowman_23.
be_like_mike added 2, to move to 14 and Papa Juggs added 4 to move to 13 Bucketss finally found some joy in his season to move to his best streak for the season of 11 and camsmith added 3 to move to 10 to be tied with pedge7 and oscarman.

While those succesfully spraying their tips everywhere and those succesfully using the steady approach went about it differently, they all had one thing in common: They avoided the Kansas Shitty Chiefs.
The Chiefs failed 44 streakers last week and weren't done, falling just short of last weeks body count, only failing 43 streakers this time around - American crow being the biggest casualty as his streak ended at 12.
Next week the Chiefs play the Jets, who are just as flaky as the Giants and Bills, consider this a public service announcement.

Have you seen next week??

Go for it!!

 

[statsman74]

I think I lost every ND matchup after the loss/didnt count against the non tipper.

 

[Oscarman]

Have you seen next week??

Go for it!!

Threw up a little in my mouth when I looked at the schedule. No more than 2 or 3 in Hot Streak.

I won't say it.
