Thank you, sir.

I originally had picked Cleveland than changed it to the Raiders last second. I lucked out in this crazy season.

Awesome stuff PP, congrats! Do you have some viable paths to 18-0?

Maybe it doesn't really matter anymore.
I think I've done a feature request for this before, but I believe the funbucks leader board should show total amount bet as the ranking metric by default, with total winning secondary. The spirit of funbucks is letting it ride, baby, and should be reflected in those rankings.

My hard week is 17. I have multiple choices with both teams available, but they are harder picks between two good teams. If I can get there I think I'll be good. We will see!

As tempting as the Eagles are (moreover how WFT isn't). Am sticking to 49ers this week.

Who I'm looking at still for the remaining weeks. No real priority order as of yet:

pre:
Wk Tm1&Opp Tm2&Opp Tm3&Opp Tm4&Opp
-- ------- ------- ------- -------
15 BufvCar MiavNYJ S.FvAtl PhivWas
16 AtlvDet PhivNYG SeavChi
17 BufvAtl S.FvHou MiavTen
18 BufvNYJ MinvChi Ten@Hou

Looks like I missed out on using Tenn at full strength. Hoping Buffalo figures themselves out for the week I select them.

I'm tempted to use the Dolphins tomorrow just so I keep the Buf/S.F W17 choices available. Limiting future options really puts you at the mercy of injuries and omicron.

Glad to see Buffalo right the ship, feel much better about picking them if they're pushing for a division title in Wk18.

Hou had some potent offense today though, hmm. S.F does have 10 days between games though, that's a nice advantage.

Anyone else still alive in their off-site eliminators or reverses?

I just lost out on the espn eliminator thanks to the Seahawks this week. Still alive in 2 large, 2 strike eliminator with only like 5 teams left. Going with NE next week vs Jags. Then tbd for week 18.

For pickem I could have changed my pick to the Raiders to guarantee a solo first place, but that is kind of lame for a free contest. Haunted by all the Thursday games I forgot about while driving home from work. East Coast bias :argh:

Not going to lie, I did change my pick-em to the Raiders to gain ground. Apparently I'm a math dummy or wasn't paying attention, I thought it was going to put me in the first place tie.

this is impressive, reverse I find harder because in general "who is good this week" is harder than "pick against the lions every week and get 15 wins"

First, this is impressive, good show.

Second, this screenshot reminded me that it says "<team> over <team>" when you're viewing user reverse eliminator bets which is nonsensical and has bugged me forever and I never remember to fix it. GUESS WHAT.

2-0 in Pick'Em but lost in Playoff Eliminator when I swapped out of a team I needed to "save" for the Super Bowl and chose the Titans. :smith:

It says season over as soon as there are no games left to bet on and we have to import the schedule a week at a time for the playoffs so as soon as the playoff games for the weekend are over you see that message

Yeah, it could definitely be scripted like the line pulls which would also allow flexes to happen automatically but not having a reliable game source persist from season to season means the importer is always changing and I'd rather be at the console if it goes south (so far so good!)
