There is a log jam in first place with ten people at 3 wins after Week 1.  First week is always tough to call and nobody was perfect.

 

Week 2 kicks off on Thursday with the Bombers home opener against Hamilton.  Get your picks in for the week before game time Thursday!

Why does it keep saying pending?

 

Just in case something isn't right my picks are Hamilton, Calgary, BC and the Sask's pickers

The outcomes of the games are pending.

 

But a good reminder to go make some picks.

As mentioned above, pending means your pick is in but the result of the game hasn't been put in yet.

Thanks very much fellows! much appreciated. 

 

Now you know how easy it is to rattle some old farts.

I had a tough time making picks this week. Well, all except one game...

So through 1.5 weeks I have determined the best strategy would be for me to make my picks, and then reverse all of them.

The George Costanza strategy.

0 for 2 so far. Yikes.

1 and 1 for me, but really... did anyone pick Montreal over Calgary?

I said something along the lines of "I'd bet the house on a Calgary win". I should never go to Vegas!

And make that 0 for 3. Geeze, could be a winless week if the Riders don't win.

The Riders are in the same position as the Alouettes and Argonauts were, and the Bombers and Esks find themselves in. Toronto and Montreal have found ways to win without their #1 pivots, and now we are going to find out what the Bombers, Esks and Riders are made of.

How bad is it if I pick the Bomber's opponent next game? 

There will be no credible excuse for the Bombers losing to Montreal, if it comes to that. A loss would mean at least a couple of new faces in the lineup shortly thereafter accompanied by the sound of cracking ice under our head coach's feet.

And 0 for 4. Wow that was terrible.

 

On another note, I wonder what would have happened if the Riders ended up tying the game.

lol as if I picked Montreal.

I should look at the settings. I don't think a tie is an option. Meaning I wouldn't be able to put in a result. So no one would get a win or loss on the game.

1-3 for the first week, 0-4 the second.  I'm sucking eggs this year.

0-4 week 1, 2-2 week 2.  I'm sucking, but at least I'm moving in the right direction.

just a heads up for week 3 the options show Calgary at Toronto when it should be Toronto at Calgary.

Am I reading the leaderboard correctly? It has me at 2 correct picks. I had Wpg over Sask in Week 1, Ham over Wpg and Ott over BC in week 2.

This has been fixed.  For anyone who already has their picks in, the team you originally picked is still picked.  You can still change them up until Thursday at game time.

The right hand side is the leaderboard for the week.   So that is your two correct picks.

 

The left hand side is the overall leaderboard.  You would be in that tie with 3 picks, but it looks like it cuts off after the top 25 so you aren't displayed.

 

If you want to double check, go here:

At the very bottom it should say:

 

You have made X correct picks out of a total of X games picked in this pool.

Makes sense. Thanks, Rich.

Week 1: 2-2

Week 2: 2-2

 

I hope I can get better than that this week.
