Cheesestradamus Recap: Week 3

by texwestern on Sep 27, 2011 2:01 PM CDT in Cheesestradamus

As we advance through the early weeks of the season, a trend is forming: the APC community is getting consistently better at hitting predictions each game. We've seen an increase from 3.7 points for an average entry in week 1 up to 4.6 in week 2, and the Bears game saw another jump up to 5.8. And while the top score stayed stable across the first two weeks (12 and 11 for weeks one and two, respectively), The Big Cheesy blew those numbers away this Sunday, putting up a whopping 18 points and earning a share of the overall lead.

Good work, everyone. Keep an eye out for Week 4's post later this week. An honorary mention should go out to osc630, who's setting the bar for Cheesestradamus futility as the only user who has submitted an entry all three weeks and has no points. Hang in there, you'll get on the board soon!

Hrmmmmm....

Much better intuition than previous weeks, but still nowhere close. Gonna need my thinking cap for the next one. Let’s get started…

A: Snooki, Marron 5 and Tim Tebow

Q: Who is most likely to get some undeserved camera time next weeknd?

I watched Johnny Carson

with my dad on our old push-knob TV back in the day all the time! Anyway, I know my Broncos have to play a really good game to beat you guys, but win, lose or draw, I’m glad you Packers fans have been classy to me when I’ve visited. Good luck on a good game!

With Coach Zorro on our side, we will slice opponents to ribbons. Tim Tebow gives me hope and I already have faith and charity in my heart! I see a propitious future rife with Lombardis for our Broncos!

I bought some Best of Carson CDs

at a used book store last month.

And my all-time favorite clip was on there. :)

Cleaningwoman Clara Clifford caught kleptomaniac Claude Cooper from Cleveland copping the clean copper clappers that were kept in the closet, is that about it?.
