I know I should have made a listing of my picks, but is there a way you can tell us what teams weāve already picked.
Ok I can see how Standarddeviant was saying keep track of your own lol
Every week weāre gonna have a few people lol
Unofficial tally:
173 survived week 4, although when the moderators announce the numbers they usually differ by one or two from my numbers, probably due to email discrepancies or something. Who knows. I know 262 survived week 3, 11 failed to play, so 251 made picks, and 78 were eliminated: 3 Lions, 53 Titans, 1 Falcons, 20 Saints, and 1 Broncos.
Postscript: 3 pm Eastern Time: The moderators just posted the list of week 4 survivors here and it agrees with my total of 173 survivors. https://community.bovada.lv/t/survivor-picks-after-week-4/457309

I know Iām more than a little bit anal-retentive, but I donāt see how anyone can play a contest like this without keeping track of who youāve picked and who is still available, especially if you want to look at the schedule for the rest of the season and plan ahead.
On the other hand, what use is planning when 42% (27/64) of the favorites the first four weeks not only failed to cover but actually lost. 59% (38/64) of the favorites failed to cover!
Iām starting to wonder if the only way to win this will be to put the schedule on the wall and throw darts while blindfolded.
- Note: my tally of upsets may differ by one or two from someone elseās; itās based on whenever in the week I snapshotted Bovadaās lines, which varies from Tuesday to Thursday. But the lines usually donāt change all that much.

Do any experienced gamblers know how long it usually takes Bovada to post lines for games involving teams that played the night before? Iāve noticed that after a Sunday or Monday night game, there are only 14 lines posted for a while, I suppose while they crunch the results of the game to decide where to open the spread for the next two games.
I wasnāt complaining I was more than less agreeing with you. Why I remind myself who Iāve picked.
I donāt have time to keep track of others stuff so +1 to you

I understand. I took it that you were agreeing and not complaining. Iām definitely not complaining! Iād like to see half the players forget every week!
Iām only keeping track because Iāve set up a spreadsheet thatās doing it for me. I enjoy building complex spreadsheets in the same way some people enjoy solving crossword puzzles or sodokus. Yeah, Iām a nerd. 
Big time!
