I’ve just realized I didn't actually cover all six games. I passed on the Rams because the odds were looking a bit thin, but I'm banking on the Chargers to make up for my lack of ambition elsewhere. 😁
Najs... you should probably stick to that strategy every time... there's a certain cunning in just picking a couple of solo plays for your slip... personally, the Steelers absolutely wrecked my plans.😠

I might as well put my bets on the sunny side of things—after all, there's no point in placing a wager until the cards are actually on the table.😁
Jonathan Wood5 said:Last year followed that specific format, but it was being run by a colleague who unfortunately couldn't step up this season. Now, silentpanther7 has taken over the reins, and she’s maintained her own set of rules from the very beginning. It seems rather foolish to attempt a sudden pivot now; one should either respect the effort she’s putting in and abide by her guidelines, or simply move on.
The issue, if we are being honest, is that the rule wasn't explicitly laid out in silentpanther7's initial post for this season, so it quite naturally escaped my notice—it was added later on. To be clear, nobody is attempting to undermine or dispute the hard work this colleague has contributed. However, I would argue that a guideline shouldn't be framed as "hers," "mine," or "yours"; rather, it ought to be something the vast majority of us can reach a consensus on, rather than being dictated by just two or three individuals...
Jonathan Wood5 said:That was how things worked last year. Starting this season, they aren't awarding points if the game goes into overtime.
It’s utterly nonsensical... there isn't a single logical justification for it... unless, of course, someone actually wants to enlighten me by explaining what the reasoning behind this mess is supposed to be.
