    Thanks for getting the results up so quickly, Smoot - MUCH appreciated brother! :)


    We've all been there. You just have to refine the process by which you are choosing your picks. That's what it's about. Give it some thought......that's all that's needed!

    It's a crap shoot. I got every pick right twice and then had a mishmash of results the other weeks. It is affecting some of the games I actually watch, though.

    Brutal week for a bunch of folks. My picks tanked this week too. I think I got 4pts here on the Smoot and missed 4 of 5 picks on the panel.

    Had NC state just held on those last few seconds I would've had 12. But I'll settle for the 8. Thank you Pitt.

    Seems like I do best when almost everyone else has a terrible week. NC State was my 4 point pick and they blew it on their home field. Not for that I would have aced it.

    From a-z, may have been the worst week against the spread in a while. Top 10 too.

    For once I got lucky. 8/11 between the two pools. I knew I shouldn’t have picked against my brother’s alma mater Texas Tech. AZ let me down. :(

    Really, it was just a crazy week in football all together (Pros included). It just happens. Imagine if I would have had the Bama/Vandy game available... EVERYONE would have lost 5 points on that! :D:D:D

    Also, I've got Hurricane Milton coming straight for my face! I should be able to make the Week 07 thread tomorrow, but depending on the storm's track I might be without power at some point. I was supposed to go to the Keys fishing this coming weekend... :mad:

    The keys may be a great place to be. Hard to say at this point. The bite is always great after a storm in northern gulf.

    I have a friend who owns a condo in Everglades City (not the Keys, but south of Naples) and he's still got 2 feet of water in there from Helene. I really feel for the people in the Tampa Bay/St. Pete, Sarasota area.

    My parents are in Vero and of course weren’t affected but they are on their way up here for this one. It looks to be going lower.

    Agreed, I love to fish behind a storm like that.
