IDBillzFan Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Okay, folks, for those of you who took part in the third annual "Dinner On Me, Smartass" Contest, here is your update. Of the 102 entries submitted in the allotted timeframe, 19 of you were eliminated because...well...you were crazy enough to think the Bills would beat the Patriots in NE, and six of you were ineligible because you were not members of the board long enough to qualify. That means 77 of you advance to Week 2. In our much-anticipated matchup with the Fish, as many as 60 of you have picked the Bills to lose and a cool 17 of you pick the Bills to win. Here is the original thread with everyone's entries. If I made a mistake on yours--and I drink a lot so there's a good chance I may have--please let me know and I will make the correction. Good luck next week. Here are the names of those who are now out of the race.

sven233 Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 Well, too bad I can't change my picks now, because if my new prediction comes true, I will be out this week. I fully expect the Bills to win their next 3 games! I had them losing in Miami this week in this thread, but after seeing training camp, the preseason, and now in this first game, this tea is better than I gave them credit for and I expect them to challenge for the playoffs now. The Bills will win their next 3 games!

The Bills will win their next 3 games! 770649[/snapback] I'm in the opposite boat. I have no idea what I was thinking when I picked the Bills to win on the road this week. If I could change my pick I'd chalk this one up as another loss. Bad teams find way to lose. I fully expect the Bills to be in a position to win this week and then find a new and interesting way to lose. Hopefully some positives come out of it though.
SACKMARINO Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 i hope im am eliminated this week. picked a loss.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 I too picked a loss. Damn, I was looking forward to Sushi at Morimoto's.

IDBillzFan Posted September 12, 2006 Author Posted September 12, 2006 I have no idea what I was thinking when I picked the Bills to win on the road this week.770652[/snapback] You were probably thinking: what the hell makes me think I can predict, in the beginning of April before the draft, the outcome of a game that won't be played until the middle of September.
NorthWesternBill Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 This is an official appeal concerning my being ineligible for the contest... I propose a compromise, i. My name still appear in the list of board members continuing on to the next weeks predictions ii. a) An "*" may appear next to my name, b) I am not eligible for the prize at the end. comments: c'mon guys at least let my predictions be known I only missed the cutoff by a slim margin!

Swift Sylvan Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Out of curiosity, did anyone win this last year?
Frez Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I would like to change just two of my picks.
Just Jack Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I would like to change just two of my picks. 771340[/snapback] Not until Week 8 will you have that option, IF you're still in the running.

cgang Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I protest. I joined the board on Jan. 3, 2005 (not 06) so doesn't that make me eligible to w.... I mean, lose? Not that it makes much of a difference... 'll probably crash and burn in week 3.

IDBillzFan Posted September 13, 2006 Author Posted September 13, 2006 He was probably drinking when he was looking at your post, and confused the 05 for 06. 771433[/snapback] That is correct. I was drinking. I'm always drinking. My apologies. You (cgnag) are in the race.
