Originally posted by jayaitchWell, take your rugby and have a good time.....this is an American football post....when I watch rugby, and this not an insult to rugby fans, I see a lot of "hugging" around the ball.....now, that looks boring to me.....but I'm sure if I watched a few rugby matches, I'd see the strategy and maybe change my mind.......but try finding rugby on television in the US, unless you have primium cable or a satellite dish that picks up Mars, you can't. So obviously 300,000,000 people don't think rugby is ready for prime-time, same with "soccer", which I find extremely boring unless it's the world cup.....90 minutes of running up and down the field, kicking each other in the shins, contenders "play-acting" their injuries, and a final score of 1-0......now, THAT'S boring!
Isn't American foortball so borin?. Too much stop, not enough action. And all that padding. Give me rugby anytime.

Ah, your pulling the TWO for the MONEY thing eh?
I'm not a gambling man and I don't want to give you guys any advice on how to gamble.
All i'm saying is seattle and steelers.
We also did similar picks last year and year before... so it's not a gambling revolution based on a movie that just came out

But then in the game, Denver wins by more then three?
Do you lose everything?
I think you do, and if thats the case then the safer thing is going for X team losing.
See if i pick Denver to win then 2 choices, either they win or lose
then they win by 3+ or they don't so again 2 choices and then the score is over 41 or under so 2 more choices
so 1/6 probability.
But if you go steelers then it would NO denver win, Question 2 of the denver winning by 3 points wouldn't matter and then over under 41 points so really its 1/4 probability.
So its better to go with steelers mathmatically right?
K i'll try your guys thing out.
1.Denver wins NO
2.Denver wins with 3+ NO
3. total score OVER 41
Total score, um... 49
4.Seattle wins Yes
5.Seattle wins with 3.5+ Yes
6.Total score 43 or whatever it was, NO
Originally posted by RahimKAt the office we are playing also. Last week I wasn't sure about the Chicago game... so I picked Panthers to win, and picked yes on Chicago winning by 3. I also went with over.

I got 2 points of the 3 in that game, and everyone thought I was nuts.
I have 14 after the first 2 weeks, and the closest is 11.
Just the way the questions are asked... it could have been worded different I suppose, but that's the way the boss started the game with those 3 questions for each game.
I figure there will be some ties, so I added totals bonus questions.
P-
1. Who will win Game 1? Denver
2. Will Denver win by at least 3? Yes
