    Also - there's seven of us that saw this BIF in time to participate. As far as planning the payouts, I'll go with the group consensus. The choices I think make sense:

    1) Winner takes all 6 bottles.
    2) Winner gets 5, Second gets two (but ships his).
    3) Winner gets 4, Second gets 1 (and doesn't ship).

    What's your choice? Or is there a better plan I'm overlooking?

    Note: Edited for clarity.

    FYI @macrosmatic sent me his picks before kickoff yesterday. Mine were exact opposite. (He’s doing much better than me thus far)

    Right now I vote for whoever finishes last wins all 6 and doesn’t ship:sunglasses:.

    (2 or 3 sound good to me )

    I like option 3
    Also could do,
    winner takes 5
    2nd doesn't receive or ship. Just a thought

    OK, it's 15 minutes before kickoff, so while I still can't figure out how to post the SS online, at least here's a picture of yesterday's picks and the upcoming game...

    Unfortunately, last night's game indicated something else I'd forgotten about. In the previous times we've done this, the lines were tweaked so there was always a half-number, so there weren't any pushes. It didn't cross my mind beforehand, and I only realized this when I went back through the old posts to see how we handled pushes before...

    I'm gonna let today's lines stand of course, but for the next weeks I'll make sure there aren't any integer lines to avoid this. Sorry guys.

    I like option 3 or the above suggestion, but am good with winner take all too.

    Yea I think option 3 was my favorite, but I’m good with whatever.

    OK, looks like we'll go with option 3.
    So winner will receive four bottles (and not ship).
    Runner up will receive one bottle (and not ship).

    I'm just hoping this game doesn't end with the Chargers losing by exactly 3 and we can actually assign some points to people...

    OK - Lines for this week's games. And I've altered each to have a hook so we won't have any pushes this time around.

    IND (+5.5) @ KC
    DAL (+7.5) @ LAR
    LAC (+4.5) @ NE
    PHI (+8.5) @ NO

    Please use our existing PM conversation to send me your picks. I won't open any of them until I have submitted my picks to @johnyb
    Post on here if you have messaged me with something else & I'll open the conversation.

    Thanks, good luck, and cheers!!

    Looked at scoring and not sure it is correct and it is hard to read
    anyway I never got any notification and here are my picks this week so hope they count
    most points on Rams
    second most points on chargers
    third most points on saints
    least on colts if possible to count since game started

    Since the colts were losing 17-0 when you posted, I think we can count it.

    The last score was posted before the bears/eagles game finished.
