Fezzik Week 14, BEARS 3 weight+3+100

Curious as to why this is not on your Hilton card if you like it so much? If you like these better: NYG DET CAR WAS SD Why don't you suggest we play them instead of Bears? Not criticizing, just trying to understand your logic here...

He has previously stated ever since he fell way back in the Hilton contest, that he spends about 30 seconds making those selections. I treat Fez' Hilton selections with a grain of salt, but put great stock in his M Contest picks for obvious reasons.

But he uses Chi in the M, gives Chi here well before the Hilton deadline, so why not throw them in the Hilton card if he likes them so much? If it takes 30 seconds, why not just use the game you like so much, that's would be the easiest/quickest play to make of all.

In the M contest he has a chance to win so taking the teams he likes best makes more since. Just a guess.

I'm not even putting my Hilton picks in anymore Proxy "Fez, want me to put in your Hilton picks?" Fez "Sure, you cannot do any worse than last week!" .....to be fair, my proxy is 1 of the sharpest guys in the NFL.....I would expect to pick just about the same picks as him almost every week.

Makes sense - thanks for the explanation

4 inches of snow forecast Chicago. does not help Patriots pass first style

[QUOTE=blackout;35073]4 inches of snow forecast Chicago. does not help Patriots pass first style[/QUOTE] I'd say the 30 mph winds w/ gusts of 45 are more of an issue...

You guys need to stop being so fixated on contest picks because: A) every week you have to give a lot of weight to what the card offers so a lot of the time that trumps any handicapping and B) even if you are at 55%, coming down the stretch you may have to start taking unpopular games or inferior lines to get yourself some swing on the group ahead of you. In contests, 55% pays just as much as 45% - nothing, so taking a shot by going contrary is correct.

Pats are now my biggest bet of the day with the line dropping under 3. NE's 2 yard passes are not going to be affected by win. This is getting way too much attention.
