I'm in the pick em league but i have absolutely no idea what i'm picking.

For example it says Vikes @ Saints. Saints favourites and then 5.0 as the final. So does that mean if i select NO that for me to be correct they have to win by 5 or more and obviously if i select the Vikes if they win or NO win by less than 5 i'm correct.

Is that right?

Almost, but you're basically right. However, if New Orleans win by exactly 5 then it's called a 'push' and nobody gets awarded a point. I like doing it like this because it adds an element of difficulty, especially with games that are considered as a gimme for certain teams.

Can i get anybodys thoughts on the following possible Madden trade. I'm the Rams and the offer on the table is Jackson and Laurinaitis for Mayo, Edelman, Maroney and the Pats 1st round pick. Laurinaitis and Mayo essentially cancel each other out. Just don't know whether to pull the trigger or not.

Ah, ok. So i select NO they win by 5.1 and I win. I select the Vikes and they lose by 4.9 or win and my pick was right.

Just thought i'd double check before i make a fool of myself with some terrible picks.

Personally i'd say no.

Like you say Mayo and Laurinaitis cancel out each other. Maroney is terrible, Edleman is OK so it just depends really how much you want the 1st round pick compared to how highly you rate Jackson. Personally though i'd never trade my best player- in the Rams case- Jackson.

Madden trade? Are you in an online franchise?
Also have you seen Maroney complaining about his stats on the new Madden? Clearly hasn't found the edit button

I've just done mine and the first week is always really difficult as you have it set in your mind that certain teams are better than others based on the previous season and there are always those opening weekend shocks.

Can't wait until Sunday now. I was going to stay up and watch tomorrow night take Friday off work but I've got to be in court at 10.30am

Yeah it's an online franchise. I'm not going to win this season so the idea is to try and win in the future. Edelman will turn out to be a good receiver and Mayo is quality. The 1st round pick will give me two in the first and thus I would probably have 3 picks in the first 70. Should be able to get 3 80ish rated players with that. I don't want to lose Jackson but theres no point being strong in one area and weak elsewhere.

Mother f*****!!!

Just realised Wigan v Leeds clashes with Bucs v Browns, and i've got a ticket for the game.

I'd have much preferred to stay home and watched the Bucs too. Im actually feeling gutted now.

Why would you want to watch them 2 sacks of sjit instead of Wigan and Leeds

BTW the EA servers are starting to do my head in kicking me off, I was looking forward to kicking your ass on Madden aswell
