The idea of putting my eliminator season on the line, even against Peterman, by picking the Jets is terrifying to me

9 weeks in is the farthest I've ever gotten I think. Several promising seasons were derailed by betting for or against the Rams. Also one year I picked the Browns in week 1

There looks to be a problem with the moneyline odds:

Dolphins / Packers, Patriots / Titans, and Cardinals / Chiefs all have both teams at +101 moneyline despite a spread of a minimum 6.5.

Also, two more notes:

1. The main web page is giving me an error that "nil can't be coerced into Fixnum".

2. My funbuck Potential Winnings on the View Bets - Funbuck Wagers is blank. If you click into it, it's listed as a 3-way parlay with a blank potential.

Lol, the Jets off of last week's horrific offensive performance are... touchdown favorites over the Bills. Good lord, I think that's my eliminator pick this week.

so it looks like the line scraper got some bad data, which you happened to end up betting on-- I can either nuke the parlay or I can edit the moneylines to be what they were at the next scrape.

I’m sure it was related to betting a money line that didn’t have odds.

I got fricking hosed in pick em this week. Last week I only missed on a single game, this week I dropped five. drat you Falcons, Jets, Bucs, Patriots and Eagles. Also a preemptive drat you for the 49ers when they lose tonight.

Still in a contest with about six other people in reverse eliminator, maybe a few more wins will do it.

imo there's still a reason to keep trying, because the person who reaches the end of the season with the best record is like the... runner up or something.

I had an absolutely horrible week too. 7 games called wrong where for a while there I had gotten pretty used to just missing one or two a week. And there's still one game left so it could easily become 8 wrong out of 13. drat

What's the lines source? CBS pretty consistently has lines on Tuesday, but on the eliminator site I see that there's still no line for Titans @ Texans (CBS has Texans 6.5).

I was slacking hard on the Binford this week. I ran it just now and my incredibly scientific statistical model indicates the Chargers are gonna win by 22, where my hometown heroes only got 9, so the machine has spoken. Sorry Chiefs.

I don't know much about gambling stuff, why is the moneyline for TEN/WAS considered a push when TEN won? Shouldn't it only be a push if they tie?
