Here are my selections for Week 1:Detroit Lions +6.5
Indianapolis Colts -2 1/2
San Francisco 49ers -3
San Diego Chargers -4 1/2 As of now I'm 5-0 in my mind,
One of the most important skills when entering the Hilton Contest is being able to count to 5. That let's me out
Somehow I left out the 5th game. Better yet, none of the 114 people who read this thread seems to have realized there were only four selections instead of 5.
I can't add my 5th game now, because it already started. It is now 6:40 Eastern on Sunday and there is still 1 hour 50 minutes to the Sunday Night game so I am gong to add the Washington Redskins at the Hilton line of +3 1/2.
I know I couldn't do this in the regular Contest, but the regular Contest would not have accepted an entry with only 4 selections in the first place. That's one advantage to entering the real Contest, they help the numerically challenged. Of course one of the advantages of not being in the real Contest is that if I make a mistake I can correct it and there is no one with money invested who should object.
If anyone does complain, sound off and I'll decide whether to just disqualify myself and wait until next year. I doubt the one game will make a difference at the end. If it does, and anyone objects, we won't count it.
