Okay, here's the thread I promised... Season wager is for a bottle of decent whisky (I'll provide)...
RULES:
* Each week you pick which team -- Hawks or Niners -- will do better AGAINST THE SPREAD... I'll post the lines on WED.
* If either SF or SEA have a bye, no wagering that week.
* Dec 8 you pick winner vs. the spread of the 9ers/hawks game. Please post your pick as the first word of your post, smack talk/etc after you post is encouraged, particularly if it involves Hankster.
* Must post your answer before kickoff of the early game, and posts cannot be edited/replaced/altered once made. If you want to wait 'till Sat for an edge, then wait.
* One point per week you guess correctly... Top point getter wins, tie breaker will be the person with the longest "winning" streak to end the season. If that's still a tie, then person who submitted their entry first on the week their streaks began.
* If rules need clarification/improvement, I'll make changes here and in a post at the end of the thread...
SPREADS FOR WEEK 5
SEA -3
SFO -6.5
EXAMPLE
#1 -- Both teams win by 7. Then SEA was the correct pick, as they had smaller spread and won by the same amount
#2 -- Sea loses by 1, SF wins by 1. SEA still the correct pick, they did better after spread adjustments were added...
#3 -- Sea loses by 7, SF loses by 3. SF wins, because after spreads Sea loses by 10, SF loses by 9.5.

Hawks.
Game of the week, Colts v. Hawks...Hawks win in a more impressive manner than many think as our defense puts a hurtin' on the Colts...27-13.
Snoozer of the week...two .500 teams playing to see who gets to be in second place in their division, or third...that would be the Texans vs. the Niners...and I think the Texans will win outright, no need for the spread at all.
Texans 24, Niners 19.
Fish on...

May I recommend that you also provide the weekly home / away status of each team.

Salmo, it's really not that bad... All you do is decide who is more likely to do better this weekend, compared to how their both predicted to do.
Vegas predicts Seahawks will win by 3 this week -- on the road, vs. Indianapolis. Vegas also predict SF will win by 6.5 -- at home vs. the Texans (ignore why they do .5).
Now all you have to decide is -- well, who will OVERACHIVE the most vs. these expectations? Or, in the case they both underachieve their expectations, who will do so by the least amount? The spread just makes it much more of a toss up each week, so intuition, coin flipping, or witchcraft are fine approaches here.

Hawks is fine Salmo... You dont' guess a number just Hawks or Niners each week.

I was actually impressed with the Texans and think SF will have their hands full.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Niners. The Colts game is a trap and the Texans are a little banged up from playing the Hawks. That and I also feel a bit sorry for Hankster.

Can I change to the Niners now that Houston traded Shuab to Clevland?

Never mind. False report. Carry on. About 15 minutes later, Vandermeer – the real deal this time – tweeted, “I’ve been hacked. No trade. Sorry for the craziness.” Go Hawks!

Week FIVE (our first week of the contest) is in the books, and NINERS was the correct pick, they won big, hawks lost, and the spreads had no effect on the outcome... Kudos to Nick for being the one and only participant to guess right... I suspect more even distribution of picks this week -- but we'll see. Spreads to be posted WED per usual.
Hankster wins the "all talk no action" award for most posts by a non-participant in the contest. Is it just me or is that an accurate summary of Hank's role on the board overall?

I don't drink and I have no use for Whisssskay. maybe Stam does... play it right and it could save you a hundred

Do you think the Whisssskay IR is putting up is worth a hundy to Stam? What if it's from his personal stash and it's a bottle of Rebel Yell or something?  that is a valid point... but at this point if I were you... win that bottle of IR's personalized rebel yell and put it up against a stam hundy... If I were stam, I'd kinda feel sorry for you and probably take that bet... but then I drink Kraken so what would I know

THIS WEEKS SPREADS
HAWKS playing the Titans at home, -13.5 points
NINERS playing the Cardinals at home, -10.5 points
Pick HAWKS -- Seahawks margin of victory/defeat >3 pts larger than NINERS margin, else pick NINERS!
MY PICK:
Both teams should win easily... But that's not the questions... My pick this week: HAWKS
I was going to pick Niners, but was surprised to see AZ was relatively stout against the run... I don't like this pick, but I'm making it anyways.
