2009 Dark Tower Football Pick Contest - WEEK 14 - Major Movement! THURSDAY GAME!!!

[NeedfulKings]

Wow....top to bottom, this is shaping up into a battle of monumental proportion!

Once again, you know the drill!!!

I will be locking ONLY the Thursday game on Thursday. You can get your remaining picks in before the usual Sunday deadline.

If you miss the Thursday deadline, but get your picks in before Sunday’s kickoff, you’ll take the Thursday game as a loss, but get full credit for your weekend wins.

Steelers, rest to follow.

[NeedfulKings]

10 points separate last place from a trophy. Those of you in the middle are as close as 2 or 3 points away!

Don't give UP

I'm adding to the prize pool as well.

1st Place = Trophy
2nd Place = Trophy
3rd Place = Trophy
4th Place = 30,000 Beam Bucks
5th Place = 20,000 Beam Bucks
6th Place = 10,000 Beam Bucks
Last Place = Trophy

If you need further inspiration, you can always look here: Inspiration!!!!!

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Actually last place already gets a trophy. So depending on where you are on the list, you might adjust your strategy to aquire whichever trophy youre closest to.

Well there you go. It's "game on" for everyone!!!!

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Tough calls this week, I look for some bad records. I myself made a couple emotional calls, that were probably unwise, but damn it......GO BRONCOS

Monday, December 14

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I just noticed that I picked the entire AFC west. That can't be right, but oh well.

[NeedfulKings]

......GO BRONCOS

Denver at Indianapolis: Broncos (I don't care. Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalal)

You have Homer's Disease (known to me as Seahawks Scarnoma). It has sunken many-a-ship, young PickSlinger. Beware.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Well, in all fairness, the Broncos have beaten the Colts before when they were a serious underdog. I pick them so that my cheering is 100%. It would suck if they pulled it out, and I was like damn, I lost a pick. Now, I can cheer whole-heartedly.

Also, the Colts, though undefeated, have not really been winning by convincing margins lately:

Opp
TENW 27-17
@HOU W 35-27
@BAL W 17-15
NWE W 35-34
HOU W 20-17
SFO W 18-14

Broncos have the 2nd best passing defense in the league, so I think we have a shot.
Bottom line is I am a super stubborn Broncos fan. And, although I honestly tried to type the Colts for my pick. My fingers would not allow it.
