  Is this sort of like hearts in which points normally count against you but if
you get them all you win? I believe they call that "shooting the moon" or some
such thing. 

  Who are the Bengels playing this week? They should be a bit overrated after
scoring all those points against the Patriots, picking them to cover the spread
should be a good investment in 0-fors,

    Thanks for your help, George, but us '0-fers' got where we are by
    ourselves and are pretty much against using any rhyme or reason for our
    picks.

    Here's what I've got so far...
    
    mkfsa::long		Cincinnati  +8.5
    hbahba::haas	**
    mcbcs::brydie	**
    odixie::zogran	**
    pcbuoa::macdonald_m **
    
    ** no pick yet
    
    C'mon you '0-fer' wannabes get them picks in!

    mkfsa::long		Cincinnati  +8.5
    hbahba::haas	Denver, +7
    mcbcs::brydie	**
    odixie::zogran	**
    pcbuoa::macdonald_m **
    
    ** no pick yet

    
    
      You see, all season long I've been going with George Costanza's
     'opposite guy' routine and it's been blowing up in my face. Now
      that I'm in a contest that I can actually win, I'm sure I'll pick
      nothing but winners. Gimme Detroit, baby!

    Count me in as one of the 0-fer contestants!
    
    	I'll take LA RAMS -14 @ KC

    RE:  last reply  --  That should be Rams +14 @KC
    
    

re: .6

That's cheatin. Making the dog give points!

How underhanded ;-).

TTom

    Still need a pick from odixie::zogran....
    
    Tommy, did you want the Lions or the Pats?

    The bets are in (for amusement only)....
    
    mkfsa::long		Cincinnati   +8.5
    hbahba::haas	Denver   +7
    msbcs::brydie	Detroit   -3.5
    odixie::zogran	Washington   +1
    pcbuoa::macdonald_m L.A. Rams  +14
    
    May the best 'looser win, er something like that.
    
    
    billl

    What's a looser?

Someone who loses but does't get up tight about it.....

    yea, what he said!
    
    We stay loose so when we make a prediction that loses we don't
    go grabbin' the closest M16 and commence to shoot up the place.
    
    We obviously aren't very good spellers either, but we work at 
    getting better.

    So, what's the answer to the "question"?
    

So far:

	mkfsa::long	Cincinnati   +8.5	winner - you're out
	hbahba::haas	Denver   +7		tbd
	msbcs::brydie	Detroit   -3.5		loser - you're still in
	odixie::zogran	Washington   +1		loser - you're still in
	pcbuoa::macdonald_m L.A. Rams  +14	winner - you're out

TTom

    told ya Tommy was the Los Wages favorite.

    We either have 2 or 3 folks vying for the 0-fer title (I'm not sure of
    the final score to the Denver game, but I suspect TTom 'lost' again).
    
    This is more challenging than the KOH contest.  It ain't easy to get
    them ALL wrong, is it Tommy?
    
    
    billl

    Looks like it's down to MSBCS::BRYDIE and ODIXIE::ZOGRAN.  Sorry, TTom,
    ties are not losses.
    
    The real test is to see if one of you can go 'winless' longer than 
    those 0-fer wannabes can go without a loss in the KOH.

    Our local line for the Bills game was 7.  I would've pushed.

    Okay, it's a shootout between Tommy Brydie and Dan Zogran.
    
    Get your picks in!

    Here it is!  UMDan's Lock of the Week!
    
    Take INDY and the 2 1/2
    
    
    (On a more serious(?) note, I like Maryland's chances this week vs
    Clemson, and would take the Terps and the 7 1/2).
    
    UMDan

 just can't keep your hands off a good rivalry can ya....

 of course you know the bigger rivalry is Giants/Cowboys..~/~

 mike

    So we got:
    
    msbcs::brydie	dallas   -11.5
    odixie::zogran	indy   +2.5

    so, what's the tie-breaker?
    

    Best I can figure Tommy screwed up and got one right while
    Dan Zogran continued his 'winning' ways and should continue 
    just to see how long he can keep up the 'good' work.
    
    Congrats Dan!

    Hey, I picked three losers in one day.  Can I go for a mano a mano wif
    UMDan?
    
    brews

    What was the final score of the Indy-Seattle game?
    
    
    
    billl

    Indy 17  Seattle 15
    
    UMDan is safe by 1/2 a point.  Mr 0-fer!
    
    
    
    
    billl

Seattle was favored so UMDan had a bit more of a margin.

    (Using best Elvis accent)
    
    Uh, Thank you, Thank you very much.
    
    
    I would have jumped in here sooner, but I just spent the weekend
    driving down to Orlando, renting a U-Haul, loading it with some
    furniture (present from the in-laws), and driving back to Atlanta.
    
    Yes, it takes a certian skill to perform at this level.  I am hoping
    that I am using up all of the Terps "bad" luck now so that the
    Basketball team whups up on the rest of the ACC (and Georgetown).
    
    0 for 2 this weekend (Terps and Indy).
    
    Lets keep going.  The contrarians are making a killing looking at my
    picks.
    
    UMDan 

    I'm still trying to firgure out if I lost (or won?) last week.  I took
    Indy and the 2 1/2, which means that, in the traditional sense, for me
    to win, Indy would either have to win (which they did) or lose by less
    than 2 1/2, right?  Or am I confused?
    
    UMDan
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    

UMDan,

If'n you had Indy lasted week, you won cause they were gettin points,
which of course means you lost. You are no longer oh-fer.
