i made a neowin group on yahoo too....these you are doing by hand?  why do you torture yourself like that boog?

anyways, if we need a backup on yahoo, the ID# is 10664, password is neowin.

what do we do with these?  email them to you?  post them here?

I actually enjoy doing it, and yahoo doesn't quite do it the way I like it. It's really no problem for me to do this. i was out a bit last year and [yt] helped me out dutifully. I love football so much, I enjoy doing this.

[....]

I'm gonna guess we'll have to pick two scores, one for each game?

586519660[/snapback]

No...Just the real Monday Night game. Washington at Dallas.

[....]

hahaha..... you are t3h funnay!! :p

586519716[/snapback]

Hehe..wasn't intended but I guess it came across that way...i should have said the game that was intended to be the Monday Night game.

Sheesh...Politically correctness sucks. :laugh:

[....]

By the way, how does your point system work BOOG? I didn't understand the + numbers on the results.

EDIT: Perhaps it is the amount of points we were over in the total points predictions. Sorry Neowinians, I'm slow at times. If I'm wrong then I'm just plain stupid.  :p

586519776[/snapback]

It's the amount you were off on the total points.

If you guessed 14 or 34 for the game, you get +10. You obviously don't want a lot of points like me. (24 :pinch:)

[....]

No more submissions for this week.

[....]

It comes down to the Giant/Saints game tonight. 4 of the top 6 picked New Orleans, the other three, the Giants. Looks like it will come down to points.

Meanwhile, everyone is smart and took Dallas tonight. :p
