Starting this week we will be having Thursday Night Games on NFL Network. I will be putting up the Picksheets asap, usually on Tuesday evenings after I get home from work. If you want to select the Thursday night game you will need to submit a COMPLETE picksheet prior to the start of the Thursday night game. I realize this does not give you time to think over the remaining games but do not worry. After the Thursday night game is over, you will be able to resubmit a new picksheet before the start of the 1st game on Sunday to change any selections you want to adjust. If you resubmit a new picksheet after the Thursday night game, or if you choose not to se…

Many of us love Fantasy Football Leagues and Pick'em Contests. I created this forum for many things: Announcement of when the weekly picksheet has been posted and ready to use Announcement of winners from the weeks Pick'ems after the games are complete Discussion of rules for the Pick'ems & TalkBears Fantasy Football Leagues. Do you have questions about existing rules? Do you want to see changes made in the scoring system of the Fantasy Football Leagues, etc... This is where to post them... Want others from the forum who play Fantasy Football to give you their opinion on a draft you just finished? Have lineup changes you need to make and…

Beware, this week we will have 3 Games on Thursday, so I will have the new picksheet up this evening after I return home from work and we will need to work a little harder to get our early picks in. Maybe I can rebound this week????? LOL.

Ok, this is in a superflex money league. Ive already had Warner/Fitz/Chris Johnson and LJ Smith go. You start 1 qb, 3 RBs, 4 WRs, 1 Flex, 2 TEs and a defense and kicker. For RBs Im for sure going with Ward and Grant and need to decide on Mewelde or Jamal Lewis. For WRs, Plax hosed me again and Fitz has already went, so I have to go with Chambers, Housh and Berrian but I need help at TE also. LJ Smith already went so its between Shianco, Stevens and Lee. Based on matchups I have Stevens in now. So I need help with last TE and RB?

I'm curious, because I don't know many people who do the auction drafts. Most people that I've know who've done auction vs. the standard pick draft, prefer the auction. Mainly because you control you're own destiny. If you believe Tom Brady's going to get it done again this year, you can spend half your $$$ or however much it costs to get him. I just think the auction's one helluva a lot of fun, and yet I've found few people who do it.

Congratulations to BearFan2000 who wins Week 8 with 10 wins, and to Gakman23 who places 2nd with 9 correct selections! Great job guys!

One site I visit has some large spreads for week 9. None of these are official, however, take a look at this: I see CHI 13 point favorites over DET I see TBB 8.5 point favorites over KCC I see NYG 8.5 point favorites over DAL I see JAX 7.5 point favorites over CIN I see PHI 7.0 point favorites over SEA I see BUF 5.5 point favorites over NYJ I see TEN 5.0 point favorites over GBP I see IND 5.0 point favorites over NEP I see MIN 4.5 point favorites over HOU That makes 9 of the 14 games with more than a field goal spread. This is going to be an incredibly difficult week for Pick'ems.

Congratulations to bowlingtwig and sprout for getting 11 right in week 5, quite an accomplishment in a 14 game slate. bowlingtwig takes first and sprout 2nd with the MNF tiebreaker making the difference. Great job everyone, this is going to be a tough year, lots of upsets going on!

bowlingtwig and Madlithuanian tie with 10 correct but bowlingtwig smokes Mad with the tie-breaker. Great Job guys!

Just got a quick question for you guys... Right now I have the opportunity to trade Reggie Wayne for Reggie Bush. Now, I need a RB (I know he's hurt, but will wait 2-3 weeks for him as I'm currently 6-2 in my league), and still have Larry Fitzgerald, Dwayne Bowe, Donnie Avery, Devin Hester, and Steve Breaston at WR. And only 2 WR spots to play each week. So, would you do the trade if it meant your lineup will look like this in about 3-4 weeks when play-off time hits? QB- Cutler/Delhomme RB- Portis RB- Forte RB/WR- Bush WR- Fitzgerald WR- Bowe/Avery TE- Winslow DEF- Eagles K- Gould

Buzzman2333 wins with 11 correct out of 14, NeoBear ties but takes second due to MNF total points tie-breaker. Great job guys! Now we get a full slate of games every week. Again, another Thursday Night Game!

My hat is off to you my friend, I only came up with a coin toss, 8/8 - To get 11 right on a crazy week like week 3 is fantastic. Madlithuanian, ChiliBear, Ostrogoth, & Iguana also were on target with 10 wins each! I will try to get the new sheets up tonight!

bowlingtwig & marked both came in with 12 wins this week, with bowlingtwig inching out marked for 1st place with the tie-breaker. Great job fella. Looks like this is going to be a tough contest this year. 2 weeks with lots of games left, a lot of entrants with some very impressive scores. As of the end of week 2 - 58.1% is 12th place. That winning percentage usually will take first place by the end of the year in previous year results.

ChiliBear wins with 10 wins in week 4 beating jarrettsmama (bowlingtwigs better half) with the tiebreaker. Excellent Job! This also ties ChiliBear with BearFan2000 for the season 1st place standing! This weeks picksheet will not be posted until tomorrow night as several teams have injuries and the Bookies are waiting to see what goes down before setting the lines.

Good job Gary! Yours truly comes in second, with 11 wins, with Gary besting me with 12 correct.

Great job!! One more week to go!
