That might have been borderline brilliant on your part. Now, if everyone refuses to put the same answer as you, you get 1-pointers for each one.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2014 - WEEK TWO
just checked 4 of my answers, 3 of which were wrong. totally not checking the others as it will be more exciting to see my score climb on friday. on the upside, it appears i could be in the hunt for the record high score of a participant who actually sent in their "answers."

I am expecting to be in those high point clusters. What I think will be my best answer was a result of remembering something wrong, and lucking on an answer that happened to be correct.
