2014 Yahoo Pickem and Survival groups
Time to sign up for the 2014 edition of the Inthebullseye Yahoo Pickem league. I could have re-invited last year's members but I screwed it up so go here:
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo....ster/joingroup And enter: Group ID = 13456 Password = 3333 Any problems, let me know. Simply pick the winner (no spread) of each game every week. As promised, this year's winner gets a $15 gift card to either Domino's or Papa John's - your choice. (I highly recommend the $7.99 Domino's large 3-topping carryout on Mon-Thurs. With a $15 gift card, you can get almost two of these...) --------------------------------------- On another note, I started a Yahoo survivor group as an experiment. Every week just pick one sure-fire winner. It's a 3-strikes and your out group, i.e. you can be wrong twice but the 3rd time, you're out. If participation is good, I might keep it going..... To join, go here: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo....ster/joingroup And enter: Group ID = 6120 Password = 3333 (yes, same password as above)

OK, both contests currently have 6 members. Just a few more would make it more interesting. If you're thinking of joining, go ahead and join. Lurkers welcome.
I believe you can join the pickem contest anytime during the season (but of course, everyone else will have a head start on you). The survival contest I think, closes after the Week 1. Edit: also, always a good idea in your preferences to set it to get the email reminder every week. Very easy to forget at least once during the 17+ weeks....

No Site Suicide Contest
Folks:
I've decided I'm too busy to do a suicide contest this year and since there's already one forming at Yahoo, go ahead and participate in that one. Sorry for the late notice but I've been, well, y'know, busy. I was tempted to apply the Week 1 jinx to the R-wordskins but decided to take Detroit in what looks like a classic bait job. The Lions are a September team while the Giants always start slow. It's in Detroit and Eli Manning has not had good protection facing on of the fiercest pass rushes in the league. I'm not buying the Lions as a playoff team but I am buying them as Week 1 Pretenders.

As predicted, the Lions won. I'm sticking with the NFC North again this week as the other New York team gets a whipping on the road. That would be the Jets taking on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers at Lambeau. The name of the NFL game for most clubs is parity. Green Bay is 0-1 and coming off a long week after losing to Seattle and ready to get the stink out of their mouths in front of their home fans. The Jets, meanwhile, are fat and happy (like their coach) after a home win over Oakland. The Packers aren't Oakland and the Jets still don't have a quarterback.

And Gary Kubiak does what he does best and gives me "L's" in my fantasy games.... Bet against him = L, bet with him = L.
 I was heavy on Pittsburgh on many levels. Any time I do this, it's almost a guaranteed "L". But that's the way it goes....

Man, this survivor league, and league parity is getting me so far.
First Buffalo beats Chicago . And then Cleveland beats New Orleans. New Orleans is one of five 0-2 teams. Texans one of six 2-0 teams. Let me see, who does Jacksonville play this week.

2-0 now with Detroit and Green Bay (which gave me a scare).
There are few safe plays in Week 3 so I will take the obvious one - Oakland at New England. Going with the Patriots and really wouldn't mind losing either. I hate them SOB's. Or maybe the Raiders could lose the game but put Brady out for 12 weeks. That would be good enough.

3-0 now as Patriots, even on a bad day, was still too much for Oakland.
A trend is developing. FloriDUH teams are 1-8 straight up. The Dolphins are visiting Oakland which means they might win. Tampa Bay is visiting Pittsburgh which is very tempting but Tampa played Thursday night and the Steelers played Sunday night plus they lost three defensive starters. Pittsburgh and their refs should still win easily but I decided to hold off on choosing them. Instead, I'll take the overwhelming choice of survival pickers, San Diego at home over Jackassville, even thought the Chargers lost Woodhead for the season and the Jags showed signs of life under Bortles.

Sometimes, success in this game is all about avoiding upsets. Surely the Steelers were going to beat winless Tampa Bay at home but they didn't which means the Steelers are a lock now to regain some swag in Jackassville this week. They'll be playing with a sense of urgency now instead of coasting.

Oh no, he's going there....
5-0 and time to risk it all on the jinx card.
 Houston NEVER beats Indy. NEVER. Going with the Colts even on the road in a short week. And if jinxing the Colts works, I'll be happy to lose.

 In my pickem leagues, I picked the Colts to win and the Texans to cover (in the spread leagues). I was one missed FG away from hitting them both. Curses!
