Kirkendall Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 And, despite what Kirk would have you believe, I did only make one change.blah blah blah Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Well let me get things rolling for the AFC and NFC Championship games next weekend. I'm picking: The Indianapolis Colts over the New England Patriots and The Carolina Panthers over the Philadelphia Eagles That's right. I'm picking both visiting teams! Quote
KitnasBengals Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Panthers over the EaglesColts over the PatriotsI laugh in the face of all those people who kept saying Peyton couldn't win the big games. The Colts are my favorite to win the Big Game. Quote

JBrooks Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 I have tried to avoid talking trash, in an effort to avoid sounding overconfident and play the part of "bad winner". But since I am getting ripped (by a moderator, nonetheles), I shall exert my prowess as the "King of Playoff Picks." Humbly...I must say I rule. Mr. Kirkendall, even if you wish to put me down for picking the Rams on Tuesday, and forcing me to stay with that pick, even though I changed it the day after to the Panthers, you have no chance of catching me. I would still firmly be in first place, at 7-1. You and all others must bow down to my genius. Not the genius of a Billick or Martz, but more along the lines of a Da Vinci or Einstein.Only jbengals can even carry my jock and have a chance to pull out a last minute, Panthers-like win over me. Good luck, jbengals. As for Kirkendall, I rule.P.S. I rule. Quote
BengalszoneBilly Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Dude, you would have cleaned up betting those picks at a 'Vegas Sports Book! You do indeed rule. Oh, you mentioned that already, didn't you? Quote
JBrooks Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 You do indeed rule. Oh, you mentioned that already, didn't you? I did...indeed. Quote
San Antonio Bengal Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Yeah Baby!! Last week I was 1-3. This week I turn it around with 3-1!!Yeah. That was all because you agreed with my picks. For the upcoming weekend:Philly over CarolinaIndy over New England Quote
Kirkendall Posted January 12, 2004 Report Posted January 12, 2004 Mr. Kirkendall, even if you wish to put me down for picking the Rams on TuesdayDon't forget about Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as well.. you have no chance of catching meYea, yea, yea. Every chipmunk gets an acorn every once in awhile. just playin. Quote

JBrooks Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 All I hear is trash-talk from sore losers. How upset does this board get when players/fans from other teams chalk up Bengals wins to luck, and giving the game away rather than actually being beaten.Keep ragging on Brooksie...I'll just keep winning.Who has the knowledge granted by the football gods?Swagger when you win, keep the mouth shut when you lose. Just look at the scoreboard fellas, talk trash, refuse to give me props on killing you in the picks and then call me defensive? Quote
Kirkendall Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Alright man, I'll give you props. Maybe I'm in denial, but you deserve some props. Good job. Quote
richmond_mat Posted January 13, 2004 Author Report Posted January 13, 2004 Keep ragging on Brooksie...I'll just keep winning.Swagger when you win, keep the mouth shut when you lose. Just look at the scoreboard fellas, talk trash, refuse to give me props on killing you in the picks and then call me defensive?You're right brooksie, you are kicking some booty. Keep the swagger down so Paul Browndoesn't call you a clown.Ask Bob Trumpy.How'd you be doing against the spread? I bet still pretty darn good. I think evryone was like 2-2 in the wild card round. I didn't check it this week, but I think it' similar. Those books sure know what they're doing, sometimes.BUT A STUD LIKE YOU WOULD HAVE PICKED 'EM DIFFERENTLY IF YOU HAD TO DO THE SPREAD. Quote
richmond_mat Posted January 13, 2004 Author Report Posted January 13, 2004 Since all the picks are in a spread sheat I wondered if betting the zone would have been any good.ZONE panthers-rams, 5 - 8, so we'd take the rams.titans-patriots, 2 - 11, gone with pats and lost the spread.Colts-Chiefs, 9 - 4, A win!!!Packers-Eagles, 7 - 6, Another loss against the spread!That's right folks, collectively we went 1-3, ats. Doesn't bode well for democracy, but maybe our picks would have been different. Quote
San Antonio Bengal Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 When good statistics go bad.... while we didn't do a hot job against the spread, we (at least I) wasn't even thinking about the spread. If we were all picking on beating the spread or not, I think we'd have done better, so that 1 - 3 against the spread is a little misleading.This is what I get for taking statistics in college....

Kirkendall Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Sounds like a buddy of mine whose a math major -- going for PHD -- and when you mention numbers he goes on a spree. For example, if you ask me how me football games are played in a typical season, I'd say 16, not he. He'd find equations, variables, formulas anything and everything but 16.I think his final solution was x+.6 + 2/y where as x=11.4 y=.5. Quote

Brooksie must have formulas like this making his picks. I do like numbers. Quote
JBrooks Posted January 13, 2004 Report Posted January 13, 2004 Great stuff. Brooksie must have formulas like this making his picks. I do like numbers. No. I just try to pick the team I think will score more...then pray.That and whichever team has the prettier colors. Quote
xjjeep90 Posted January 14, 2004 Report Posted January 14, 2004 ColtsPanthersDonavan McNabb is going to be on the cover of the new Sports Illustrated, and we all know about being on the cover of Sports Illustrated, don't we Kansas City Chiefs (right before the Bengals game) ? Quote
Kirkendall Posted January 14, 2004 Report Posted January 14, 2004 Hey xjjeep90, we are posting the picks here. This thread was getting a little too cluttered to post picks for two weeks.Welcome and good luck. Quote
