I really love the Ottawa idea for this week!... Great creativity for the contest.... but since I'm only at one strike...

I'm going to change mine to Greg Ellingson which I believe is allowed.

Ryan Lindley

[Noeller]

I'll go Ryan Lindley as well....

[17to85]

I am going to go with Messam because picking against the Riders seems a smart choice.

But even if you don't get a score in both games, you still get two chances with a RedBlack player compared to one with any other player. It's actually twice the advantage (two cracks at no strike PLUS the chance to get a strike removed). I was hoping for the chance to pick two separate players if they weren't RedBlacks vs. one RedBlack player for both games.

Anyway, given the offer, I will avoid my original Messam pick and take Madu.

ooh.. never thought of this.  I kinda think I may wanna change my pick too..

 

grr.  but I don't want to dehomerize myself with the Harris pick.. 

 

 

[SPuDS]

but I will. 

 

Changing pick to Madu.  rollin the bones on the double score!

[Jpan85]

you get two strikes though if they dont get a touchdown in either game.

Sure, but you're completely ignoring that if your pick scores none, you get two strikes

The real benefit was for the all-stars like myself who already had 4 strikes.  We're done with one more anyway, so may as well go for broke.

Sinopoli's been solid for me in TSN Fantasy this season, too. 

[SPuDS]

crap.  I didn't realize it was a double double scenario.  and since Ottawa played and my guy sucked, I assume I need to ride it out now...

 

accursed lack of reading comprehension!

 

unless I can switch to Harris, keep the one strike and hope for the best.

Ok I didn't know Bowman was hurt. Am I allowed to sub in Hazelton?  Please??? Game hasn't started....
