I should follow my 3+1 results and immediately flip my $400 and $100 picks, but I'm stubborn.. actually, after reading my thoughts again, I will switch them.

So

$100 Patriots under 51
$300 Eagles under 42
$200 Bears under 33
$400 Saints under 37

Patriots/Chiefs under: This one is a bit of a gamble, but I think the Pats offense keeps the Chiefs off of the field enough to keep this down

Eagles/Packers under- Neither team has shown strong scoring capabilities lately

Bears/Bucs under 33- This one just feels like a defensive struggle

Saints/Jets under: The Saints on the road average 17 points, the Jets just suck


I was going to make my traditional Lions pick, but I couldn't make myself do it... even against what's turning out to be a suspect Falcons squad.

As soon as I switching them, the over was a lock. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I'm 4-8 for $400 picks this year. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] I'm picking at 72%, for $2600, on everything else. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

The worst part is, I'm not even betting all of my 3+1 picks in the real world, so I'm behind there also [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] instead of being ahead 12 units on the year [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Why is this called the "3+1" challenge? I've been reading some of the 3+1 threads from last year and can't find the origin. Thanks.

It was originally the "2+2 NFL Challenge" until this post ...

which was my brilliantly clever response to this at the start of the 2004 year

It's so deceptively simple. I'm surprised I missed it myself.

Thanks!
