DAS Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 As the preseason kicks off on August 9th, less than a month away, I figured it was time to get the thread started for this year. I've been away from the board for awhile so I don't know if you did it last year but here are the rules anyway. Pick the winner of all regular season games on a week by week basis. Picks must be submitted before the game(s) start. If a game ties it doesn't count as either a win or a loss by the poster. Unless you picked them to tie, but who's going to do that? Highest percentage of accurate picks wins the seasons. However, you must guess at least 3/4 of the games for the overall season or it doesn't count. No punishment for missing a week here or there and no reward for having one great week and then quitting till the end. That's all. If anybody wants to do preseason picks we can go ahead and start but they won't count towards the end of the year score. Also, just for kicks, let's pick the 12 playoffs teams to see who gets the most right. Post pre-season Superbowl picks too if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 ^^ Hello Das, it has been awhile--are you going to be able to keep tallies for the regular season? Also, we did do a pool for last season, which was dedicated to the memory of "pottedplant." If my memory is right, jb126 won last year's pool. I might have some ideas as far as predicting division winners, but I'll save it for later--still got a long way to go before the season starts...

DAS Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 I tried the first year to tally everything by myself and it was a nightmare. I'll help but I definetly don't want to do it all myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul carruthers Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Well, without looking at a calendar or ESPN's football page--I believe we are about a month away from the regular season, so I won't pick any games yet (obviously), but I don't think it's too early for predicting division winners and wild cards: NFC East: Cowboys NFC North: Packers NFC South: Panthers NFC West: Seahawks NFC Wild Cards: Lions, Cardinals AFC East: Patriots AFC North: Ravens AFC South: Colts AFC West: Denver AFC Wild Cards: Steelers, Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read recently that Incognito was playing well and had already earned the starting OG position. Do you know what side of the line? Btw, good picks Paul! I'll formulate mine over the next 3 weeks. Gotta watch the injury reports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta watch the injury reports! We will see how good all these picks are. Are you trying to say my picks have no shot? I do not know what side he is playing. But he is going to be a wrecking machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Are you trying to say my picks have no shot? No, just I agree with Paul's preseason assessment more. From what I read your qb situation in Buffalo is going worse than expected. That's a tough mountain to climb no matter how good your defense is. You know I have nothing against your Bills, unless they're playing my Cowboys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Well if nobody has any objections, I can oversee the football pool tabulations again this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabe Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 No objections from me either, Strider. You did a mighty fine job in tabulating my shitty picks of last year. This is of course the second annual pottedplant Memorial NFL Prediction Contest, lest we forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
