From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
It’s not often you get the chance to choose the Chiefs as your upset pick.
I am always intrigued by the hedging of the bet. You know you'll get 1 out of 2. I just can't ever go there. I want a 6 every week.
Same.
I even catch myself hesitant to double dip with the upset pick because regardless of how confident I am in the pick, I fear being knocked two misses on one game and setting my ceiling at four. I'm a greedy bettor which makes me a terrible bettor.

I was on the road and missed first half of season- so now I'm just trying to amass enough points so I don't finish last.
Seems like you're trading 100 % chance of 1 point for a 25 % chance at 2.

Speaking of hedging bets, @Papa John is in an advantageous spot right now because he's been so consistent. Both of his low score weeks still hit on three picks. He has the luxury of gambling a bit if he chooses knowing that if he loses, his floor for the week is still three picks since a lower score will just be pushed to a mulligan week. That's a nice little safety net.

And I despise him for it.
Thank you for this breakdown. I was actually thinking about the implications of this exact rule yesterday when I saw that the new thread came out.

Palmy - "Very few have the ability to truly excel regardless of system. For many the system is the difference between being just a guy or an NFL starter. Fact is, everyone is talented at this level."
