4-1 last week and 14-11 on the year in my mock contest. Last week was my best week yet and week 6 is off to a good start as I was on the Eagles. The rest of the card looks tricky to me...

But here they are...

Eagles (W)
Steelers
Pats
Jags
Browns

Good luck this week guys and I'll be looking forward to all of your plays!

Got off to a good start with the Eagles on TNF, so my card in Super Contest is finally above .500 at 13-12-1. Will have my other 4 picks tomorrow afternoon. Good Luck everyone!

&#xA;Nice you are doing a mock contest ... but one comment. When you are willing to pony up the $1500 And play for real, it probably going to be  different. You might find that in the beginning you think too much or over-anayze picks :-)) .. I think like most things in life there is a learning curve. When you settle in and pick as if you are playing for nothing you start to do better. Not saying this will definitely happen with you but i bet it does with most people.

footballsmart,You nailed it. Mock picks don&#x27;t mean anything because pressure changes everything.

footballsmart · Answer

&#xA;You gotta pick like a honey badger who doesn&#x27;t give a sh** .... lolololol

Yeah, no doubt about it....I know once I pull the trigger on the 1500 plus the 300 for the proxy my mindset will turn into "extreme overthinking it mode". I just wanted to do a dry run to make sure I could possibly compete somewhat and to justify it to myself as a good decision to play next year. Haha! My plan for next year is to hopefully enter the contest and focus solely on those 5 picks each week. I will attempt to NOT wager on any other games or wager any money outside of the 1500 dollar investment for the contest. That way, if I don&#x27;t cash, I&#x27;m only down the 1500 for the contest. Then each week I&#x27;m only interested in those 5 games and not dedicating any other time and energy to other random games...What approach do some of you guys take when playing the contest? Do you focus solely on your contest picks each week? Do you make other wagers as well as your contest picks? Just trying to mentally prepare myself the best I can for next season. Thanks all.

wadd · Answer

ad, that&#x27;s exactly what I do, five games a week in contest keeps me from betting other games (unless i&#x27;m in vegas) and I get my action fix. finally cashed last year tie 21st. what a buzz , suck this year. anyway until you got skin in contest you can&#x27;t appreciate the pressure/as was stated by others , try not to overthink etc...... anyway good luck and do it next year it&#x27;s a hoot

You should definitely play next year AD. It is indeed very fun and keeps us non football players who love football feeling like we are in the game still :-) ... as far as trying it out first on a mock level, there is really nothing to wait for. You will never really re-create the same feelings unless you do have some skin in the game. So you will really not practice what you need to learn until you join officially ... so get in next year! As far as a strategy, it all depends on your budget. If money is an issue, then forget about other avenues and focus on the contest. Don't overthink. Build a system if you can (but trust me it takes years to do it right and also some serious statistical savvy to avoid a ton of typical mistakes). Most of all .. have fun, see it as a marathon rather than a sprint, and don't overthink your picks! Good Luck!!!

footballsmart · Answer

Wadd, you cashed last year in a tie for 21st? That is awesome. Just curious how your season went. Was it a few 5-0s to get there or a more consistent 3-2 week in and week out? Also, how much did you pocket last year at 21st place? The the government immediately grab 40% ?? LOLOLOL .. hope to hear back!

ad1260 · Answer

footballsmart---Thanks for the feedback buddy! Yeah, I&#x27;m sure you are right...it&#x27;s a totally different ballgame once you actually have some skin in the game. But I&#x27;m pretty certain I&#x27;ll be participating in the actual contest next year. Can&#x27;t wait. For now I&#x27;ll just throw my mock draft picks into the thread each week for shits and giggles.But I&#x27;ll DEFINITELY be an active participant in the thread next year.I&#x27;m not sure yet but my initial feelings are that I&#x27;ll probably just focus on the 5 contest picks each week next year and forget about all other plays. If you are gonna do it big you might as well do it right! Looking forward to seeing how the rest of this season pans out for you guys. Hopefully all of you get hot and get into the cash by season&#x27;s end

JDro · Answer

12-13 overall after starting 5-10 first 3 weeks....a 4-1 week and we'll finally be talking.

finished a single half game last year out of the money. T-58th out of 2000+ or whatever so keep telling myself beyond so much time left.

my card for week 6:

BALT

GB (originally had LAC +3.5 here and switched out at the last second)

IND

WASH

ATL

Believe in the blowout this week....leggo!!!

lordbettington · Answer

I did the same thing.  Got 48.5 points in the mock with a lot of bad beats 0-6 in ot games.  It gave me the confidence to enter last year an I finished with 50 points, just out of the money.This year 16-9 so far.Take the mock as serious as you can, be honest with yourself,  if you finish below 50% don&#x27;t enter unless it is disposable income.  I think a lot of people are entering that don&#x27;t keep track of how many they get right hoping they can get lucky   keep track of the errors you make and if it goes well and you have the money take a chance at it the next year.

lordbettington · Answer

The mock was very helpful to me but couldn&#x27;t replicate the pressure of week 17 if you have a chance to cash for real

wadd · Answer

12,500.00 and some change, no gov&#x27;t paperwork, westgate took my info a couple of times . (I took half cash and half check) pretty much stayed around 60percent all year, 1- 5n0,  6 4-1s, only had 1 1-4. gotta tell you keeps me from betting single games and more enjoyable and cheaper. fyi last year drew bree&#x27;s is my hero last play of last game in afternoon gave me 4-1 week....

2-3 here this week. That&#x27;s how my first two weeks went. 16-14 on the year. Would love to see the difference a 5-0 week could make!
