Welcome to WFDevTeam's Profile Page

@42yardline 

I have vetted these numbers by Chat GPT but if draft pedigree is a decent measure for talent Seattle has the edge:  

Draft Pedigree Gap

• Seattle’s average draft pick for its top-10 is ~34, meaning on average, their most important players were selected in the early 2nd round or better.

• New England’s average is ~80, roughly the late 3rd round.

• Median shows Seahawks (~27) are ~25 picks higher than Patriots (~54) in the middle of the top-10.

LAR at SEA really comes down to if you think LAR seeming drop in play is real...they peaked early...or not versus if you think SEA's strong finish was the sign of a team getting better, or just variance.  I'm leaning on the LAR peaked early, SEA got better, side but can easily imagine being proven wrong here.  Great matchup for sure.  

Meanwhile, I think Stidham comes in and plays like its the Casino's money and the result is they win outright.  Good luck to all.  Stay within your means.  

@GrantDoc 

This thought has come to me more than once but I can't tell how bad it is.  I think most of the time the fields are tilted a bit but I'm not convinced the outcomes are fixed.  There isn't a need for them to outright fix the final outcomes given the play the point spread gives them.  'them' being some combination of those who want best for the league and ratings and the biggest sportsbooks.

@cplmoyer   

That's me but that's not Walt.  I was his roommate in college.  TV was on all day Sunday.  Pregame shows through post game shows.  At full volume for a good portion of it.  His friends were visiting and wanted to play a game of real football before they headed home and he refused to leave the room and miss the games that were on.  

@JRO60 

Thanks for the heads up.  It wasn't Charlie.  Something went wrong with my process in pushing his latest version up.  Its fixed now.

@Mr. Bitter 

Walt's take away from the Broncos Packers game isn't the same as mine.  At the beginning of that game I remember the Broncos getting into the Packers faces about something.  They strike me as a 'mean' team.  Its not my favorite look in sports but usually teams with a streak of mean to them fair well.  Enough for me to not want to touch that game.

I do think SF is around because the Eagles offense self-destructed.  SEA has shown they won't do that.  The number looks on the money though.  Wouldn't be surprised if SEA wins by 7 on the dot.    

I think the Bears game is a trap.  I don't get why the Bears aren't favored.  Or that the line hasn't moved to favor them.  There are games with lines that feel obvious to me and then in retrospect felt like a trap.  Something is up here.    

I with Walt on the Rams.  That line makes sense.  Wouldn't surprise me if it ends up a push at 10.  But I think the Rams make a statement they should be the favorites to win it this year.  Not the Seahawks.

@DoctorJ 

I can't see Rodgers having a good day and Houston's defense has the swagger of a defense that can carry a team to the Super Bowl.  But the Steelers are a team I'm wary of.  They are consistently inconsistent.  Will lose when it seems they shouldn't.  Will win when it seem they shouldn't.  I'm talking not just this year.  Now they haven't made it past the first round since 2017...but like all trends...does that mean they are due to win one?  I'm leaving that one alone.    

@iEatCrayons 

As I'm an Eagles fan I almost never would choose their game as the one I like the most.  I do like in Walt's analysis how he notes the 49ers offense may be overrated based on what it can do against weaker defense.  Defense is a place where its easy to underrate its impact.  Good to be on the side that has the edge there.   

I feel best about the Jags.  A team on the rise against what feels like a known commodity.  But seems like the public is already aware of this.  

For the record I don't gamble. I participate in the FadeBackContset and am content simply making predictions and seeing how I do.  The league has so many unpredictable results some of which only seem to make sense when you look at the line.  Some of which are injuries in the game type stuff that there is no way to account for it. On top of the players having good games and bad games. 

The Rams game feels good to me.  I now the spread is big but I can't see LA easing up here unless they get up by 20 and even then I could see stafford doing enough to keep Carolina out of reach 

@Thethurm 

Thanks for the heads up.  Its working now, at least for me.   Let me know if you continue having issues.  I think something was wrong with the units or favored team for the game that fixed itself as Walt's picks were reprocessed.  

@dave_2 

I think it was a quote by her saying Geno Smith was a top 10 QB

@Actionedge 

Should be good now

@Mr. Bitter 

Its on hiatus.  Things keep getting tighter.  Perhaps later this season we'll pick it back up.

I can't help but root for underdogs but this series just cookied.  OKC has more than earned it which is how its supposed to be.  As much fun as it is for underdogs to surprise us it wouldn't be right if the better teams didn't close the deal more often than not.

@DirtyDobler 

Thanks for the heads up.  We had the analysis just missed the top list.  

@-Rod- 

I did have to deploy the debacled site a bit ago which may have caused issues.  or it may be a bug in which case I may not be able to fix it until after the draft.  Feel free to email me at dfield6091@gmail.com if you want to add more details.

@pinballer3 

Mistake on my part.  will fix it today

@Mr. Bitter 

So you don't deny it make for some great stories given tragedies being held in such high esteem.

@Mr. Bitter 

Hasn't playing QB for the Jets proven impossible for all kinds at this point?  Aren't there certain franchises that have something about them that no QB can succeed?  

@broncoselway I'm old enough to remember when having the better run game and D meant your were the favorite.  But sadly as for long as I could remember the Eagles were never the team with the better run game and D and the Eagles were almost always the underdog.  Somehow now that its the Eagles they are still the underdog and while usually underdogs are treated as plucky, and the hero of so many movies, somehow these Eagles while being the underdogs are also the villains in the way of Kelce-Swift fairy tale ending.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  

@Mr. Bitter 

I dare say this comment lives up to your name. 

@eggy45 

I just emailed you.  You should be cancelled now.  

Thanks

@michaelritter80 

Its all relative.  The spread itself though that Commanders were going to win by 10.  The Texans by a touchdown.  Sports be crazy.  

@Mr. Bitter 

That's what the back door is for.

@Mr. Bitter 

I'll be looking out for Seattle then

@griffin.gentry 

The other two pages updated to the newer version where the first page did not due to a scheduling mistake.  You were reading the first page of the previous version.  Thanks again for the heads up.  

@stuvian 

I'll have to look into this further when I get the chance.  I'll follow up tomorrow with my status

@42yardline 

I just feel if anything the Chiefs should have to pay a tax of losing a player like Hill every season they have Mahomes.  Its just not fair.

@wileecyote 

Its my fault.  Walt has updates that aren't going through.  Working on it.  

I'm liking the Pelicans tonight

Earlier this season I turned on an old feature to track my features on debacled.  I'm awful at NBA picks.  The feature is rough around the edges but if you'd like to track your picks and are already signedup with us....https://debacled.walterfootball.com/nba/pickemwfdevteam

I thought the Eagles would have fallen through the floor.  

Here's to next season.

@$preadking 

Not sure I'll have to look into it.  I'm able to get to it via search.

https://debacled.walterfootball.com/premium/content/nflpicks2023_22late.phpp>

Email me at dfield6091@gmail.com if you got screenshots or more details.

I should get Week 18 results up tomorrow.

As far as settling out with winners...it should happen this week as well. 

@Caddy 

Its not in your spam folder? 

I can confirm it if you email me at dfield6091@gmail.com

@bunkerhill 

Is this still occurring?  We have made a switch of sorts

@cardpenn 

This should be fixed now

@Jasonwbantle 

From our rules page: 

Cumulative Point Total:

Each week you pick correctly, the amount by which your team won by will be added to your cumulative point total.

https://debacled.walterfootball.com/survivor/registration/11;

@ttwarrior4 

The database has only 3 picks for the contest for week 6 and none for weeks 7 and 8.  Its 5 picks every week. 

I know the screen can be finicky about getting the 5 picks in so occasionally I'll grant a player a pick or two but it doesn't look like there are any picks for weeks 7 and 8.  Only so much I can do

@Phil Remington 

Thanks for the heads up.  Changed the results of Week 9

Scoring will be updated shortly

@Mr. Bitter 

Just restored this now.  thanks for the heads up and patience

@Jasonwbantle 

I typically process Survivor around 9-11 am on Tuesday morning as as well as Five Against the Spread

Will process MNF's Weekly Fantasy Contest results as well

Then around 11AM-1PM I'll pivot the Weekly Fantasy Contest to the next week.

@Mr. Bitter 

I don't disagree but leagues tend to not just give the MVP every year to such players.  They like to mix it up.  Philly may become an expert city in charity MVPs if Hurts picks one up here.  Him and Embiid could become best friends.

@jsuper2 

I ran the processing of week 6 before having the detroit score in.  Rolling back and fixing now  email me at dfield6091@gmail.com if you continue to have issues tomorrwo

@Tdfxman@yahoo.com 

Tuesday morning typically.  

Dragging a bit today but it should be updated.

@chilover19 

Were you abel to get all 5 picks in?  

@ShueMan 

I'll look into this issue tomorrow.  thanks for the heads up.

We're going to experiment with various comment boards but I wanted to give our classic one a chance before trying others.  

Curious to hear from our readers....which NFL Team is Walt most wrong about this season so far?
