Six-Pack Pick'em Challenge: Week 11
Posted: 13 Nov 2024 13:54
by APB
If you chose to go with the road warriors in week 10, chances are you did pretty well! All road teams in the "Pick 4" section prevailed in week 10 and provided a tough test for forum prognosticators. Top score for the week was only four correct overall picks, and those who achieved that, along with their upset pick, took this week's top honors. Congratulations to
@Backthepack4ever,
@Cdragon,
@mnkcarp, and
@lake shark...oh, and yours truly!!...for setting the bar!
Overall, it's a three-way logjam atop the standings although your humble contest administrator sits atop the mountain with six...count 'em SIX!...correct upset picks! That tally stands well above the next best so you also-rans better get hot on some picks or you'll lose the tie-breaker! Boom!
The rules are simple:
- Choose an outright winner from the four select games of the week
- Choose an outright winner from the Packers matchup
- Choose an outright upset winner from any weekly matchup
The upset pick can be from the previous five games already in play or any of the other weekly NFL matchups on the schedule, so long as your chosen underdog victor was listed as a kickoff dawg. For reference, a listing of Vegas odds can be found
here.
I will maintain a cumulative tally of correct choices with the winner declared at the end of the regular season. You'll get a mulligan for two weeks, be it forgotten picks or a bad week, but the rest are on you. The winner will be declared at season's end for the participant with the most correct picks. In the event of a tie, the participant with the most correct upset picks will be declared the winner.
Need motivation? The winner will receive a special gift from the Packers Pro-Shop from the Mod Team. See? Us Mods aren't all bad...
Now, on to the picks!
The Four:
Baltimore Ravens @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Cincinnati Bengals @ Los Angeles Chargers
Atlanta Falcons @ Denver Broncos
Kansas City Chiefs @ Buffalo Bills
The One:
Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears
Your upset pick:
Good luck to all participants!
The running scores are below. The first column under each week indicates total correct picks, the second column your upset pick score.

If it were easy, even Vikings fans would be good at it...

I pick who I want to win, not who I think will win.

On the pick 6 on my Vikings forum, a game ticket is on the line. So I tend to pick with a bit more thought. But even there I suck.

You wanted the Vikings to lose to the Jags?

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.
