IDYFT Pick 'Em: Tiny Hands, Tiny Tears

We're heading into the the last three games of the NFL regular season, and there's still time for somebody to make a move and get themselves a t-shirt. Looking at those standings, I had better pull a Shoeless Joe if I'm going to unload a prize on you mugs.

The bigass bonus for picking when, if ever, the Lions win might be a deciding factor in the Pick 'Em.

Can Silver Jebus save the NFL's biggest Fudgefest from the ultimate humiliation of a winless season? If not, there's sure to be lots of tiny tears squeezing out from between cold, tiny hands.

This year Mea Culpa-pepper has only fumbled 4 times in 5 games; for his career he's got 97 fumbles in 97 games. Here's when we picked the Detroit Fudge to get their first win:

Adw = Vikings
MMMan = Never (for 14 points)
Barnyard = Never (for 14 points)
Garwood = Vikings
Miwacar = Saints (for 10 points)
Jess = Never (for 14 points)

Standings
1. Adw = 74 (this week +10)
2. Jess = 34 (this week -4)
3. BBM = 24 (this week -4)
4. Garwood = 22 (this week -4)
5. MMMan = 17 (this week -4)
6. Miwacar = 5 (this week -4)
7. Barnyard = 4 (this week +4)

Here's just a little clue: this week's Perseus (as interpreted by Harry Hamlin) in the Clash of the Titans was Carolina, which is undefeated at home. Yet over 70% of you picked the Bucs to win (road record: 3-4). I'm just gloating saying ... Hey, guess who figured out how to code strikethroughs tonight!

This Week's Picks
1. Your Shoe-In?
2. This Week's Upset List
winless Detroit, Cleveland, Cincy, 49ers, Oakland
3. Your Favorite/Disliked Team?
4. Clash of the Titans: New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys

Could you add perhaps one more game to select like "This weeks most pointless game (St.L v SEA)." That'd be awesome.

1. Indy
2. 49
3. Dallas Lose
4. Giants

Muumuuman said...

Oh - I'll take St. Louis in the pointless game.

Andrew Wice said...

Sad, but I think we can fit that in. Kind of an anti-Clash of the Titans.

King of the Fudge?

Let's try it. I can't in good conscious make the King of the Fudge be worth more than a field goal.

So for the next three weeks we'll have a King of the Fudge winner to select for +/- 3 points. This week it is Seattle at St. Louis.

I'll take Seattle (barf).

Barnyard said...

1. Indy
2. SF
3. GB wins and gets to take Matt Jones' unused stash back to wisco.
4. Cowboys
5. Seattle

Muumuuman said...

Matt is suspended - he'll be in Florida (or maybe Ark.) enjoying his stash.

Garwood B. Jones said...

We can't make up ground aping your picks, Wice. Any time I can in good faith choose the opposite way, I will. I did have to take the Vikes as I though the Williamses would be out.

1. Philly
2. Cincy
3. Buffalo loses
4. Dallas
5. St. Louis

Andrew Wice said...

1. Washingtongue
2. Cleveland
3. Washingtongue
4. Giants
5. Seattle (barf)

I would like to achieve some ghost points by prognosticating that RB Clinton Portis runs for 170 yards against the Bengals.

Jess said...

1. Philly
2. 49ers
3. Detroit loses.
4. Giants
5. Seattle

Miwacar said...

1. Indy
2.9'ers
3. Vikes
4. Cowboys
5. St. Louis to diverge

Yippee! The Steelers get it done in the 4th -- again. Next week's game will determine where I will be on February 1. Will I throw a party in Minnesota or attend one in Seattle? Can my Men of Steel take down Tennessee?

Congratulations to the Steelers for winning the AFC North!

Stay warm Minnesotans! This weather snap is quite obnoxious.

Sorry Washington fans. Next year!

Oh I did well. And hey, can "King of the Fudge" be Green Bay v DET for the final week? It will be the most meaningless game with meaning. Will the Lions go 0-16? Will Green Bay finish it's first post-Favre season by LOSING to the 0-15 Lions? Awesomely outrageous!
