Stampede Blue Prediction Contest, Results Week 7, Link for Week 8

Update:  I apologize, but I screwed up.  I had a wrong team entered in as a winner, so everyone was 1 game off, either too low or too high, depending on whether you had it right or not.  I've updated the text too.

Last week was a struggle all around, in both predictions, and on-the-field.  Even though picking the straight up winner was easier (my predictor got 11), picking against the spread was tough.  We only had 1 player get 9 correct, and that was TheLawnWrangler.  That catapulted him into 2nd place overall

We also had 4 players that got 8 correct picks.  They are:

  • BetterD
  • JakeTheSnake
  • mgrex03 Predictor
  • Terry

Jake is starting to come back to the leaders, only 7 back.  We also see an appearance from our favorite Cowboy fan as well.  I'll also put some blame on our friendly Page2 writer, who got 8 correct this week, and picked the Colts to cover for the first time this season, for how bad the Colts looked last week.  He can go back to picking against the Colts any day now.

Overall, the Stampede Blue Leaders are as follows after 7 weeks:

Name Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 Total

A new upgrade to these tables:  Sortable columns!  Thanks for the code goes to Matt Kruse at JavaScriptToolbox.  I tweaked very little, and it works great.  Check out his site for other fun website enhancements.

The results below are (originally) sorted by Total score.  Feel free to click on a column and sort them yourself.  I've again separated out the "experts" who just picking straight up winners, to make it easier to read.

tough!

as shake is looking more and more uncatchable, my only aim is to keep simmons below me in the table. That might be tough going though, this weeks picks look really difficult to me, wot u guys think?

The only thing I know

is that I’m going with the Colts.

Some of these spreads are crazy…

Alot of the match-ups are going to be close, I think. I’ve picked against Carolina every week thinking that this will be the week they lose…I’ve obviously lost most every week. Now I am looking at picking them, so watch them lose, or not cover the spread. It’s the same with New Orleans…I always take them and regret it.

agreed

colts r the only sure fire pick i’ve got so far. Logic being if the clolts lose, the week will suck no matter what and if, (sorry, when) they win if i go against them victory will be tainted by my betrayal! Go Horse!

Bad mojo

pick against colts

.. yeah but the only week I picked against the colts was the week they blew out the ravens…

An expert is someone who knows more and more about less and less until they know everything about nothing...

Well.

Maybe YOU should pick against them!!

srsly

We Colts fans did not pay $720 million dollars in public funds to build a brand new stadium that will get opened on Sunday Night Football by Jim Friggin Sorgi.

Everyone forgive him because it was the Colts he had as a winner incorrectly.
