Originally posted by gortIn our league the format shows total points by member rather than net. Would that approach be okay?
yes, if we are saying that when we get both right we don't count it and it off sets then it's 1-1, because not counting the ties, we had the same thing other than I had ravens win and you had chargers win in those games?
for today's games 8/8
we both have the falcons, rams, and raiders.
The other 3 games are up for grabs. which are
Eagles vs Bears
Bucs vs Jags
Bills vs Panthers
the preseason does stink. A couple games Vegas did pretty accurate but the others not so much. It's tough preseason, trends aren't set. nobody knows, you are almost better off taking teams that are crappier. Brady probably won't play much for Pats, so if they are playing a team that just drafted a hyped top qb then you may tend toward the inexperienced trying to grow team. And I can't believe we are the only participants here, but yet it is still preseason.

It's hard to win on the road in any major sport, but the NFL is toughest, and a 16 game schedule, every game counts. The weird thing is try to pick just 3 winners against the spread during the regular season, it's very tough, or preseason for that matter. there were 2 games where ties lose in the first 7 games. That's crazy. During the season too, I follow college too, and it's pretty accurate for the most part. Yes, thanks for having some fun picking nfl games. it's appreciated.🙂 makes it more interesting.
