oesii Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Ok, now that Halloween is almost over, we in the US can turn our attention to our traditional Fall weekend fare of football, beer, and fun. In honor of things that help me enjoy all the games, namely picking the winners and fantasy football: I'm offering up Activision's Cosmic Commuter, a fun 2600 cart, rarity 5 here at AA, to anyone that picks the winners of the games I have listed below. The cart works great but is only in fair condition because of that nasty actiplaquing. This will be a game of chance and it's easy to play. Just pick the winners of the following five games that will take place on Sunday. They are listed by who's the favorite to win the game along with the point spread in brackets. In order to get each game winner right you have to play the numbers, if you pick the favorite they have to win the game by at least the number given in the brackets. And if you pick an underdog they don't necessarily have to win the game but they have to keep the margin of victory within the number given. For example in the first game if you pick Buffalo they have to win the game and win by at least 3 points. So a 17-14 win for Buffalo works for you. If you pick New England, they don't have to win, the score could end up 10-9 Buffalo but you would win because NE kept the margin within 3 points. And for some tiebreakers, you have to guess the total amount of yards earned for two players on my fantasy football team. The person getting closest to the right answers without going over wins. Try to pick unique totals because the first person to post the right number wins in case of duplicates. Eddie George has been a bust this year so I'm hoping this brings him luck Alright, too much talking, this contest is open to all that need this cart and I'll send it internationally too. Picks have to be posted by Sunday Noon EST (-5GMT hrs). Only your first set of picks will be allowed and no editing of your posts please, carefully make your picks and stick with them. I'll announce the winner sometime after Sunday afternoon's last game is over. Good luck! Favorites...../.....Underdogs Buffalo (-3) vs. New England Tampa Bay (-7) vs. Minnesota Houston (-3) vs. Cincinnati Indianapolis (-3) vs. Tennessee Oakland (-3) vs. San Francisco Tie-Breakers: Peyton Manning's total passing yards. Eddie George's total running yards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 Ok here's my entry, as an example only New England Tampa Bay Houston Tennessee Oakland Manning: 266 yards George: 110 yards And here's a pic of the cart being awarded, stolen from the pages of AtariAge. Again, mine has a bit more actiplaque on most of the label. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
church Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Well since I'm already doing this on yahoo fantasy sports this should be easy. Buffalo (-3) vs. New England : Buffalo Tampa Bay (-7) vs. Minnesota : Tampa Bay Houston (-3) vs. Cincinnati : Houston Indianapolis (-3) vs. Tennessee : Indianapolis Oakland (-3) vs. San Francisco : San Francisco Tie-Breakers: Peyton Manning's total passing yards : 233 Eddie George's total running yards : 172 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 Yep, Yahoo Fantasy Sports are great, that's where I'm playing in a fantasy league and it's a great way to complete with friends in a pick'em pool. By the way, the lines i.e. point spreads are taken from today's VegasInsider's odds and they are firm for the contest. Good luck with your picks, church, I hear you're on a roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I know nothing, nothing, nothing about football that doesn't have the term "Real Sports" in front of it but here goes : Buffalo Minnesota Houston Tennessee San Francisco Tie-Breakers: Peyton Manning's total passing yards - 206 Eddie George's total running yards - 173 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
church Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 I'm more of a baseball fan than football but I can't resist competing at fantasy sports with friends. The same group of us always does baseball, football and hockey fantasy sports. It's kind of funny that I like baseball the most. I've never played baseball but did 6 years of football. As for being on a roll, well I hope it lasts but I really doubt it will. It's nice to pick up some carts though, especially since I'm just starting out in collecting. Even if it takes me 4 hours to win a darn contest like the bride of frankencart one, that was grueling. Picking football game winners compared to that contest is a cakewalk.

oesii Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 whoa, a couple of picks for Cincinnati, I put that game in the mix because their coach guaranteed a win for the hapless, winless Bengals. Should be funny either way. The Tampa Bay/Minnesota game might also be a stinker but the Bucs are my team and I felt sorry for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Eddie George has only "been a bust" because he has NO fullback and not much of an O-Line. He is actually running back to top form. Plus the play calling has been suspect. NOT excuses, valid reasons. I know Indy can't stop the run, but you people who have picked Eddie to go 120+ are INSANE. Fisher will NEVER call enough running plays for Eddie to get that much yardage. You best pray he breaks a few for big yardage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
church Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 DOH! I totally forgot George is a running back! oesii: Can I edit his yardage or is what I put down set in stone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 DOH! I totally forgot George is a running back! oesii: Can I edit his yardage or is what I put down set in stone? Church, just post a new number in a reply. But even if you thought he was a QB, I asked for his rushing yards I agree with you Stan, Eddie was totally back from his injuries and was running well this year but he's getting no good support. But I also just read that he tripped over one of his own players in Weds. practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, doh! But everyone thinks he will play and if not then your guess on Manning's yards is very important Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap5750 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Swami Cap Sez...... Favorites...../.....Underdogs Buffalo (-3) vs. New England New England. Though the Bills have played a lot of close games, their defense will let them down again. Actually, as long as Peerless Price and Troy Brown do well I'll be happy. I have them both in a CNNSI fantasy football league. Tampa Bay (-7) vs. Minnesota Minnesota. Tampa Bay can score 7 points? Houston (-3) vs. Cincinnati Cincinnati. Dillon gets his first win of the year. Indianapolis (-3) vs. Tennessee Tennessee - Air McNair over the runningbackless Colts. Oakland (-3) vs. San Francisco San Francisco. And improved running game in San Fran has them thinking playoffs. Tie-Breakers: Peyton Manning's total passing yards. 189 Eddie George's total running yards. 88 Cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oesii Posted November 1, 2002 Author Share Posted November 1, 2002 you have to do something based on Football. I hate football.. Then you are exactly the type of guy that wins big in the office pool. Picking NFL games is tough so if you want a chance at this cart just offer up some guesses and you'll be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
