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.
I hope it ends in a tie

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. 8-)
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.

Yes, can never bring up a gambling site with odds on my work computer, all blocked. Just always hope I remember to get that in before Sunday, lol.
