Hippo Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Think you know American football in and out? Think you can easily tell which teams are better than others? Think you can predict who will win games? Here is your chance to shine!Every week, this thread will host a game of predictions, in which any user is allowed to participate, even if they joined late. The rules are simple. List your predictions every week before Thursday at 6pm ET, and let the games begin! Every week following, updates will allow you to see the statistics, the winners, losers, how you match up against other predictors, and information leading up to the following week's games.Stats will be listed by number of wins, and then by net points in the result of a rare tie. It is possible to tie in the NFL, and if a game ties, the game is null and void, since everyone should have picked for it. For more reference, please check NFL.com regularly for scores, schedules, and updates to the upcoming NFL games.Participants:riverhippoSteelEaglebrianblackberryMojoRariDashTacobobTheUndercoverBronySpurSGJIceStormImaginationWeek 16 NFL Scores:ONE MORE WEEK!!

Valianca Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'm British, so I know as much about the NFL as a whale who has been told to find his way around Lesotho. Isn't your football the game that inspired Rugby League, which is an upfront to the rightful code that is Rugby Union?Anyway, I dunno, but seeing as I have family in Miami, I guess I'll support the Dolphins. Anyway, my totally random predictions:Eagles @ JetsColts @ BengalsLions @ BillsJaguars @ FalconsSteelers @ PanthersRedskins @ BuccaneersSaints @ DolphinsGiants @ PatriotsTitans @ VikingsRavens @ RamsBrowns @ BearsPackers @ ChiefsTexans @ CowboysCardinals @ Broncos49ers @ ChargersRaiders @ Seahawks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted August 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'm British, so I know as much about the NFL as a whale who has been told to find his way around Lesotho.Actually this is perfect! Nothing makes an NFL fan more mad than seeing someone who isn't familiar with the sport guess right more than they can. So best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hippo Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Preseason Week 4 ends early because of the start of the season, so we already have results. Note that most weeks, results will come Tuesday morning.Couple things:-you can specify your picks for future weeks if you wish, but please note that I may not be able to change them if you want to change, and please specify in the post which week its for. I will only list the current week's schedule. And picks close on Thursday night @ 6pmET.-when you make your picks, do not plan on editing them. its hard for me to lock-down on any changes made to lists. Try to make it easier for me. Also, please bold and underline your winners. It helps.-Tie games are void if they happen, probably wont though.-Net points are just a fun number that will only be used in the result of a tie between players. What the number represents is the total number of margin of your picks. Basically, if you mispick a game, you lose the margin of victory, if you make a correct pick, you gain the margin of victory. So it rewards more for games in which you won with larger amount of margin, and punishes you more for choosing a losing team in a blowout. Don't try to use this as your strategy though. Down the line, the tie breaker will probably not have to be used. Maybe.-Week 1 schedule is up and im ready for your picks when you are. Due September 5th, @ 6pm ET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelEagle Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Thursday:Ravens @ Broncos(Home game to start the season coupled with significant losses to the visiting team over the off-season.) Sunday:Patriots @ Bills (Upset special! Bills play well to start the season and the Patriots are vulnerable.)Titans @ Steelers (Steelers lack an effective run game or defense. This is a toss-up: I think the Titans have more raw talent and if they come together, they win.)Falcons @ SaintsBuccaneers @ Jets (You need a quarterback to play football.)Chiefs @ Jaguars (The Jags Jag.)Seahawks @ Panthers (Cam Newton cannot outrun The Legion of Boom.)Bengals @ Bears (Bengals are a good team coming off of a good year while the Bears are starting to run against the age-wall.)Dolphins @ Browns (The real loser is the viewing public.)Vikings @ Lions (Early season means Vikings o-line will be less cohesive, so the run game will not be as effective and the Lions can score enough to win.)Raiders @ Colts (The Raiders suck. Also, Luck is good.)Packers @ 49ers (This should be a really good game, advantage to the home team. 49ers are simply more complete and don't rely on one player while the Packers are Rodgers and done.)Cardinals @ Rams(Rams should be good this year and they're at home. Both teams historically start well.)Giants @ Cowboys(The Giants muck about every year until they're 3-5 and then turn it on.)Monday:Eagles @ Redskins ( I expect a slump from RGIII, but the Eagles will take half a season to kick into full gear.) Texans @ Chargers (Probably the second best team in the AFC. I came within one point of seeing this game live, by the way.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
