NFL Weekly Prediction Contest Week 18

[milani]

Well, we come to the final week of the season. Posters have predicted very successfully this year. Voyageur has put up great numbers. Old School has emerged as a preseason favorite for next year. And Poppa San continues to finally gain some respect. Pay attention to the crazy AFC South. That one division has been difficult to predict when they play each other. So here we go and thanks for a great 4 months of pro football:
Guess the score of each team of each game.
Each game winner you pick correctly earns 5 points.
Pick correctly the winner for at least half the scheduled games and you receive an additional 20 points bonus.
Pick correctly the winner for at least 75% of the scheduled games and you receive an additional 40 points plus the 20 points as well.
If you pick the correct winner for all but one game you earn an additional 100 bonus points plus the 20 and 40 from above!
Guess the winner of ALL the games and you win 150 bonus points plus the 20, 40, and 100 from above!
Guess the correct winner and SCORE of any game and you receive 125 points for each!
And if you should pick the correct winner and score of EVERY game you get 5,000 points mega jackpot!
Go for it!

Week 18 could provide some lopsided scores.

Week 18 could provide some lopsided scores.

And upsets.
I figure players on teams guaranteed a losing record are already busy making off season vacation plans for next week.

 

[OldSchool101]

Upset Weekend.
Either my upsets will win the day..
or my day will be numbered and I’ll turn into an upset loser!

Several items to note: Ravens have nothing to gain this week. Saints and Falcons are like the Bears and us as well as the Jags-Texans. The 9ers have a lot of pride but need to rest players. Chiefs need a win just to gain momentum which has slipped a lot. Giants would like nothing better than to trip the Eagles.

But it would surprise me.

I'm going to wait until Friday, and Saturday to see if I can get a better feel for who's playing and not, and why and for what, blah, blah, blah. Then I'll likely send in a bad set of picks.

Good luck! I've been throwing a few upsets in for the past few weeks. It seems to be hurting me for the most part, as quite a few were bad choices were made.

But it would surprise me.

I looked at it like this.
The Giants have nothing to lose and just came off going toe to toe with the Rams
Rams 26 Giants 25
The week earlier?
Eagles 33 Giants 25 (at Philly)
NY also played us tough losing by 2

To open December the Cardinals beat Pittsburgh 24-10 at Pitt
Arizona finished by beating Eagles on New years eve.

My interpretation is.. I think those two teams are mad because they suck.

Titans have blown a lot of games. But they did beat Miami.

Titans have blown a lot of games. But they did beat Miami.

They usually keep it close at home. They are well coached. With the poor Jags defence and a battered a Trevor Lawrence, it could flip.

No surprises here, Milani held on to his commanding lead to win the BIG PRIZE (see below), of bragging rights.

An honorable mention to Voyaguer who got over 66% of his picks correct. No one else was close to that. However, he lacked any correct scores, where milani locked in 5 Bingos to help salt away his win.

A lot of fun was had, which is really what this is about. Perhaps we will get a few more players out for the Packer Forum Playoff Picks Contest, which will be posted soon. Go Packers!

Poppa San just missed a bingo by one in point the 31-14 Cincinnati win over Cleveland.
