TWITAFCS Spreadsheet

So the board made mid-week picks a challenge. Be sure to bookmark the sheet's link, if the board has any problems in the future I'll post a link to make picks offline to give everyone opportunity to pick against the tacks.

We're nearing the midpoint of the season, contenders and pretenders are separating themselves in the league, but we still see a logjam of TWITAFCS pickers all within range of the top spot.

Three games to choose from this week, another free space for pickers, a daunting task for a team looking to save their season, and an intradivisional contest between two QBs who want to put last Sunday behind them:

IND @ HOU: Stroud should be better than he was against the Pack. A sign that he misses Collins, or is GB's D that real? Richardson is the epitome of feast or famine at QB, you're either gonna get 50 yard bombs that look like he's the next superstar or 10 completions for 124 yards.

GB @ JAX: The Pack squeaked by the tinhorns while Stroud had his worst outing as a pro. Duval may have figured out the wrinkles in their system, but their only wins have come against some bad teams. If you know what to expect this game, you're better than me. Could be a blowout, could be a nail-biter, could be a huge upset.

TN @ DET: Aidan Hutchinson might be able to get a sack or two in this game, even with an external fixator bolted to his broken leg. Does anyone have the stones to pick the tacks? Didn't think so. 

Best of luck this week, folks.
My picks:

tinhorns (H) 24 indynoplace 15 - garbage time TD makes the score appear closer than it ever was, Stroud plays with a chip on his shoulder to atone for last week's stinker. Richardson gets hurt yet again.

pack 27 DUVAL 21 - I reeeeeeaaaaaaaally think we can hang with these guys, but they tend to flop when the pressure is on. Make no bones about it, the pressure is way on. GB steals another one against the AFCS.

LOINS 30 tacks 3 - If I were more into schadenfreude, I'd find a way to tune into this game. Think they miss Henry?
Houston - tinhorns and Stroud bounce back

GB - Too bad the gaguars can’t play NE every week

Detroit - Should be a lay up here but you never know
snowy's picks from last thread:

tinhorns
pack
loins
Houston over Indy - I'm not crazy about either but Houston is at home
Packers over Jags - Packers are a quality team. Jags tend to melt against quality teams. I wouldn't hate being wrong.
Lions over Titans - the Tacks are getting pushed in.

I learned how to create a form on the spreadsheet, and updated the permissions on the sheet so hopefully everyone can go to the sheet and post picks if the board is ever dead again.

Did anyone try to use it? Wondering if it was functional or if errors occurred.

Nobody had the stones to take the tacks. Disappointment abounds.
