With one of only two winning bets on the Feature Game this week and nailing every game in the Question 5 pick 'em, Jose blasts his way out of the basement to take control of the leader board! With a quarter of the season in the books, his stunning turnaround is proof that nobody at the bottom is out of it and nobody at the top is safe! ########## WEEK 4 RESULTS ########## Week 4 Feature Game: Dallas Cowboys (-2.5) at New Orleans Saints The Saints brought Dallas fans back down to earth, handing them their first loss by a score of 12-7.5(10-2.5). Only Jose and Slug bet the Feature Game correctly. QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Cowboys TD, Cowboys FG, Cowboys safety, Saints TD, Saints FG, Saints safety, or other? ($600 for the correct call) The first score of what turned out to be a mostly field goal fest was a Cowboys 28 yarder in the first quarter. 2) Which team in the Feature Game will give up the most turnovers? ($500 for the correct call) The Saints dropped the ball for a turnover on their first drive, but the Cowboys put the ball on the ground twice and Prescott threw a pick late for a total of 3 turnovers to New Orleans' 1. 3) Air Inferiority - Name the QB that will throw the most interceptions in Week 4 ($800 for the right name) Josh Allen, Jared Goff and Dwayne Haskins (grumble) threw the most picks in week 4 with 3 a piece. Any of these names get the cash. Biggie was the only player to call one of these names. 4) How many total points will be scored in the Seattle at Arizona game? 0-10, 11-24, 25-36, 37-45, 46-53, or 54+? ($600 for the correct guess) Seattle handily won this one by a score of 27-10. Calls on 37-45 get it. 5) Call the winners: Jacksonville at Denver Washington at NY Giants Cincinati at Pittsburgh ($500 for EACH correct named game winner, $900 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Several players got a couple of these but 3 players (Dodger, Jose and Keyser_Soze) nailed all three to earn the bonus! 6) Sunday Driving: Which team will have the most time of posession in Week 4? ($800 for the correct team) Did it feel like Jacksonville always had the ball? Maybe that's because they were less than 6 minutes away from having 3 full quarters of offense on the field, with a total ToP of 39:12 in week 4. Nobody called the Jags. 7) ROOOOOOAD TRIP! How many visiting teams will win in Week 4? ($800 for a correct guess) Good week for the visitors! 11 road wins were tallied in week 4. Nobody got this. 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week four. ($1,900 for each player named correctly, $3,500 bonus if both names are called) Leonard Fournette ran all over Denver for a ridiculous 225 rushing yards and Davonte Adams led all receivers with 180 yards worth of catches. BasemntDweller2 DID call Adams! Nobody called both for the bonus. ######### LEADERBOARD ######### @Jose - $9,100 @Keyser_Soze - $7,400 @Biggie - $6,850 @thewhyteboar - $6,150 @AbsolutSurgen - $6,000 @Dodger - $5,400 @Greatoneshere - $4,900 @RedSoxFan9 - $4,900 Slug - $3,600 @BasemntDweller2 - $2,900 @SFLUFAN - $2,800 @johnny - $2,500 @Kal-El814 - $1,500 As always, if you think I mathed wrong let me know. ########## THE SEASON ######### Week 1 <-- See here for full rules if you're interested in joining the competition!

Let's find out! ########## WEEK 3 RESULTS ########## Week 3 Feature Game: Chicago Bears (-4.5) at Washington Redskins The Bears beat the Redskins by a score of 26.5(31-4.5) to 15, covering the points as easily as they covered Keenum's jersey in grass stains. QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Bears TD, Bears FG, Bears safety, Redskins TD, Redskins FG, Redskins safety, or other? ($500 for the correct call) Ha-HA!

($500 for the correct call) With a combined 46 points belonging mostly to the efforts of the Bears defense, the over gets it. Shockingly nobody called the over on this one! 3) Air Force - Name the QB that will throw for the most yards in Week 3 ($700 for the right name) Russell Wilson hangs 406 yards on the Saints D in a losing effort to take the passing crown for the week. Nobody called Wilson airing it out this week. 4) Flags everywhere - What team will be penalized the most, in terms of number of penalties, in Week 3? ($700 for the correct team) The Falcons got flagged a ridiculous 16 times on Sunday, which is only 6 flags off the record for a single game.

I knew short people could be sensitive about being short, but JFC this guy. The delusion is strong.

Well, the easiest thing from a "pain in the ass" standpoint would be to sell the whole set. Try the BGG marketplace. But you're right; if most profit is your goal then parting it out piece by piece is the way to go. Depends on how you wanna do it. But yeah, I'm interested in just the base game. Don't hold it or anything, but I'll check back when my bank account isn't crying and if you still have it we'll work it out.

I'd not seen that one before. That makes me incredibly happy.

Wow, all of 'em?! That's quite an investment! If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason you've decided to part with it unopened? To go all in like that you must have been pretty interested in the game from the outset.

It would be just the base game. How many of the add-ons did you get? I didn't follow the KS, but being Petersen I have to imagine there were a lot of them available.

Nah, I'm in Jersey. I make the GenCon trip every year, but it's like a 10-11 hour drive. It'd have to be shipped. Don't sweat holding on to it. Keep trying to sell it. But I'll check back with you when my bank account recovers from Fire Emblem, Borderlands 3, and Link's Awakening. If you still have it we can talk. What were you looking to get for it? Being a Petersen minis game I have to imagine it's in the $100-$200 range?

Oh man, I actually want this. I loved Cthulhu Wars and from everything I've seen on this, it's like a tighter, more balanced CW (as much as I love CW, the factions were pretty poorly balanced). But seeing how it's a Petersen miniatures game it's going to be out of my budget for a bit. I might check back with you in a few weeks to see if you still have it, when my wallet is straining a little less from recent purchases (*shakes phist at video games angrily*). Hope you're able to unload it.

Deadline is TONIGHT! Get 'em in!

Deadline is tomorrow. Get yer entries in!

I haven't really paid attention for threads related to this because I pretty much decided it was an insta-buy as soon as it was out. :P

Also a reminder that we're still early in the season and it isn't too late to start in and catch up by any measure! You start with $1,000 in fake money to bet with. Just jump right in! @ anyone interested in participating. (See the Week 1 thread for full rules)

We almost had a 3 way tie for first place, but Keyser_Soze just edges out the competition by just $100! Despite losing a conservative bet on the Feature Game, he was the only player to call all of Question 5 correctly to earn the bonus and put him over the top! ########## WEEK 2 RESULTS ########## Week 2 Feature Game - Philadelphia Eagles (-1.5) at Atlanta Falcons In an entertaining, hard hitting football game, the Falcons knock off the favored Eagles by a score of 24-20(-1.5). Bets on Atlanta win. 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Eagles TD, Eagles FG, Eagles safety, Falcons TD, Falcons FG, Falcons safety, or other? ($400 for the correct call) Matt Bryant was good on a 43 yard field goal for the first points of the game. Atlanta FG is the call. 2) How many turnovers (combined) will occur in the Feature Game? 0-1, 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, or 8+ ($400 for the correct call) These teams just couldn't help throwing the ball to guys in the wrong jersey. Add a fumble to the 5 picks and there were 6 turnovers in this contest. Nobody called this one. 3) Name the player that will score first in the Browns @ Jets game on Monday Night ($400 for the correct call; as always "score" means "the person holding the ball in the endzone") Nick Chubb took the ball off the left tackle for a 19 yard score for the first TD of the game. No player guessed Chubb. 4) Name the QB that will have the highest number of pass attempts in Week 2? ($600 for the correct call) Cam Newton hucked the ball 51 times in a losing effort against Tampa. Too bad none of those 51 passes were for touchdowns... 5) Call the winners: Minnestoa at Green Bay Buffalo at NY Giants Indianapolis at Tennessee ($300 for EACH correct named game winner, $800 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Several people got 2/3 but only Keyser_Soze got 'em all right to earn the bonus. 6) Name both the highest and lowest scoring teams of Week 2 ($500 for each correct guess) Patriots vs. Dolphins simultaneously lived up and down to everyone's expectations! This was basically a free $1,000 for half the players in the MGT. 7) How many total Field Goals (not PATs) will be converted during the Bears @ Broncos game? ($500 for the correct answer) 5 field goals were hit in this game, including a 30 yarder to win with 00:31 on the clock. 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week two. ($1,500 for each player named correctly, $3,000 bonus if both names are called) Dalvin Cook ground out 154 yards rushing and Demarcus Robinson got his hands on 172 yards worth of passes to be your Week 2 offensive leaders. Nobody called either player. ######### LEADERBOARD ######### @Keyser_Soze - $4,100 @AbsolutSurgen - $4,000 @RedSoxFan9 - $4,000 @Biggie - $3,850 @thewhyteboar - $3,550 Slug - $3,200 @Kal-El814 - $2,900 @BasemntDweller2 - $2,800 @johnny - $2,500 @SFLUFAN - $2,500 @Dodger - $2,300 @Greatoneshere - $1,300 @Jose - $600 As always, if you think I mathed wrong let me know. ########## THE SEASON ######### Week 1 Week 2 ############################### WEEK 3 FEATURE GAME AND QUESTIONS FOLLOW THIS POST

This reminds me of me and my kids when they were younger. Whenever they'd ask me for a new game I'd tell them I'd buy it for them if they could beat one of my NES games. :P

The faster DirecTV tanks the faster NFL Sunday Ticket can be a non-exclusive service.

With the right group of people it's the best game ever. If you have trouble getting a group together, check out your local game stores; many of them have a D&D night where they run pickup games or Adventurer's League games which are usually new-player friendly.
