Links: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16========== Rules/Guidelines/GuffRight then, gentlemen, slightly different way of doing things this season. Essentially we will be playing a point per person per game and if you correctly predict the winner of the game, you will get a share of the points. The size of the share is based on how many other players made the same correct prediction. Test tableInstead of picking for all games, which will be a bit boring, TBH, I suggest we all pick one team each and those teams will always be in the list of games to predict on. In other words, if Horn choose New Jersey, then we will predict the New Jersey game every week. If they're on a bye week or there is a game where two Divot teams are against each other, then we choose a neutral game to fill the gap. The number of games we predict each week will depend on the number of players we have, so I would appreciate getting final numbers quickly so I can set up the spreadsheet. I think that there are games every Thursday this season, so we'll need to have the deadline for Thursday and on Friday I will post the predictions. So yeah, please use this thread to sign up and choose your team and we'll get the prediction schedule sorted out ASAP. Avaunt!

I have zero chance of being able to pick Jets games rationally. What i need for this is a team I can pick without bias, a team I've got no emotional connection to whatsoever, a team that I honestly couldn't care less that they even exist.
And Houston have already gone.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, plz.

With these four teams, we only have one clash so far, Houston @ Detroit in Week 12, so we would have to have a filler game in there. Oh and I see NE @ NYJ in there....

Gah! You've spoiled the neat 8 points per game scenario. I'll have to get "my brother" involved now.

Daniel, you really need to approach this aggressiveness from a different angle and channel this energy into doing good for the Lord. As is said in Luke 4:21, "Stop being a cunt."

I'll take the Colts, because I don't really have time to follow it right now so I'll need a team to pick against every week.

Updated OP to show the schedule for the first four weeks. I haven't done any more just in case we get a 7th or 8th player, Sonic and/or Coffers, for example. I have also shown in italics any filler games that might be of interest. I have made the executive decision that the filler game should always be the Sunday night showcase game, or if one of chosen teams is in that (like in Week 2) then there are three options where I think the game may be close. You'll notice that I have purposely avoided our known favourite teams (NE/MIA/NJ/ATL... dunno what DC's is) for these fillers.
Any thoughts so far?

DC's favourite team is the Houston Oilers.

I'm not able to do this at the moment Moo.
Otherwise I'd be picking Detroit week in week out :humb:
Not that I know anything much about Helmetball or anything :humb:

No worries, Sonic. And because Coffers has already said no, I guess we can lock this down now. It's not like Boony or Narkle will be back, will it?
So for Week 2... Kansas City @ Buffalo Dallas @ Seattle Tennessee @ San Diego
... any preferences? I'll go with concensus.

Right, executive decision... Dallas @ Seattle.
Opening choices to be made before Thursday, please. I'll send mine to someone this afternoon.

Pick a winner for each game in Week 1, send the predictions by PM. The "prize pool" for the correct predictions is six points, so if all six correctly predict CHI to beat IND, for instance, we all get 1 pt. If 2 people pick CHI to beat IND, they get 6/2=3 pts. I have posted the first four weeks of games to predict (six in each week) and will be posting up some more today

Updated OP to include up to Week 8. We need to agree on a filler game for weeks 5 to 8, I'm OK with someone just choosing.
