DAS Posted July 15, 2015 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. Quote
paul carruthers Posted July 15, 2015 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... Quote
DAS Posted July 15, 2015 Author 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. Quote
paul carruthers Posted August 4, 2015 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 Quote

Have my Bills in playoffs but do not have the balls to put them on top. I do. I will keep the format the same order for the sake of making it easier to whoever is scoring. NFC East: Philadelphia NFC North: Detroit NFC South: Atlanta NFC West: St Louis Wild Cards (NFC) Green Bay, Dallas AFC East: Buffalo Bills AFC North: Baltimore AFC South Indy AFC West: San Diego Wild cards (AFC) New England, Miami Quote

NFC East: Philadelphia NFC North: Detroit NFC South: Atlanta NFC West: St Louis Wild Cards (NFC) Green Bay, Dallas AFC East: Buffalo Bills AFC North: Baltimore AFC South Indy AFC West: San Diego Wild cards (AFC) New England, Miami I like that you have to put Buffalo Bills, like there is any other team in Buffalo! 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! Quote
LedZeppfan77 Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) I like that you have to put Buffalo Bills, like there is any other team in Buffalo! 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! 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 Edited August 5, 2015 by LedZeppfan77 Quote
Walter Posted August 5, 2015 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! Quote
Strider Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Well if nobody has any objections, I can oversee the football pool tabulations again this season. Quote
paul carruthers Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Well if nobody has any objections, I can oversee the football pool tabulations again this season. Go for it dude--no objections from me... Quote
jabe Posted August 11, 2015 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. Quote
LedZeppfan77 Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 So we have to pick week one when the games are listed right? Quote
paul carruthers Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 ^^ Correct, the rules are the same they've been for the last couple of years we've been doing the picks... Quote
LedZeppfan77 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 ^^ Correct, the rules are the same they've been for the last couple of years we've been doing the picks... Well I know who I am picking. But I do not want to go first Quote
