NFL 2025 Weekly Predictions Contest: Week 16

[Raptorman]

Canadian Cheddar,,,,what's your reasoning for liking everyone's posts?

This is easy for me since I score pick 6 on my Vikings forum. It’s to let you know he saw it. At least that’s my take.

LA Rams 33 Seattle 35

I apologize. You have my respect. The score is in the 30s.

Been that kind of a season.

And I believe that the difference in points between the Seahawks and Rams in the 2 games they played each other is exactly 1 point. Like 56-55. If they meet in the postseason it will be tough to call.

Interesting. Their Division records are both 3-2 also along with they split games 1-1. Seattle is 7-3 in conference vs LA being 6-4.
Seattle has the Win lead but plays 7-7 Carolina and 10-4 San Francisco. Yet it’s San Fran who holds the best NFC West Division record at 4-1.
LA has the easier road to finish and plays 5-9 Atlanta and 3-11 Arizona.

Lot of points for two top defensive teams. I hope the Packers are watching.

Amazon has had a few good Thursday night games lately. High scoring and/or close since after Thanksgiving. And next week Broncos/Chiefs.

Too bad the status of the Chiefs may not make this competitive. It is what it is. They will be back next season.

Two big comebacks decided on the final play on the last two Thursdays. Pretty hard to beat that.

Another improbable comeback.

@Raptorman got a spread bingo.

Can anyone tell me how old this contest is, and who wrote the original rules?
I've been sending in picks for about five years and hosted for the last few, but don't know anything about the history of our contest before December, 2020.

I am too old to remember.

@PackerfaninCarolina had run this in '19 & then '21. He had conflicts & needed a new "owner" so I ran it in '22 & '23? You took over from there. I searched history& can't find anything prior to '19 so I'm guessing Carolina started it & made up the rules?

Well, this was fun last year so I decided to go ahead and launch it again this year.

I do know the rules have been modified cause I ran it to start the season a few years back and added the pyramid points.

Tremendous research! Hard to believe they gave you no respect back then.

Much better than what you had provided.

Thank you. Interesting. I had figured it might have been older. So it doesn't go back to the Curly Lambeau era, or even close to it.

I liked the rules that Carolina had established, and then added the spread bonus (bingo) and the most correct picks bonus for 2025.

Thanks.

Don't recall if I was a mod then, probably, but I know @longtimefan was. I came on board around the SB run. Back then this was a happening place ran in part by LTF and a @Kitten

I like the pyramid points format for win percentage, and tried to use it as a numerical guide when I added the spread bonus and the annual pick bonus.
