oh you mean it would be easier for you?

definitely not then

Ha, nice.

I assume we just ignore the first email of the week if we don't want to pick the Thursday game?

[ice grillin you]

correct

[Diomedes]

Okay, then I'll ignore this first email, because I don't want to pick tonight's game.

Next time, blind copy everyone and send that shtein to yourself, so my email address isn't shared with a bunch of lowlifes and spammers.  Thanks.

0-1

if there was no last place prize i would take it but since there is i will find a way to choke being in last place away

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Congratulations to the one person who picked the Cowboys.

0-1.

[SunMo]

0-1

Didn't like making that pick, only did it to get a little "action" since it was the season opener.

Hail to the king (while it lasts).

[Diomedes]

Just to make sure I've got this whole picking-with-the-spread thing correct:

The line for the game last night was:   NY Giants    -3.5      Dallas

So if had picked the Giants, then they would have to have won by 4 points for me to get credit for a correct pick.
If I had picked the Cowboys, they would have have to have lost by less than four points, or won outright.

The main question I have is, do I have to use some kind of lingo other than which team I'm picking?

[MDS]

you got it dude

use the lingo of the 30 year old hipster who is doing this out of irony so he can brag to his bearded reusable bag enthusiast friends that he is a commoner now

How is a push possible?  Aren't all the spreads by half points?

in a word no
