If you pick correctly on at least 75% of the games: 75 points
If you get all but one of the games correct: 100 points
If you nail it on all the games: 150 points

Just heard about scorigami... a game ending in a score that's NEVER happened over the last 101 years of the NFL. Has happened twice in 2021, so I'll be incorporating at least one scorigami score every week.

Just heard about scorigami... a game ending in a score that's NEVER happened over the last 101 years of the NFL. Has happened twice in 2021, so I'll be incorporating at least one scorigami score every week.

They are missing a score that has NEVER happened over the last 101 years of the NFL. They don't list a score of 6-1 as either happening or not happening, yet it is possible and to my knowledge has never happened. I'll pick it this week because that sounds like a possibility for Detroit / Philly.

Also, it is fitting to note that the Packers/Bears rivalry produced the only 2-0 final score in 1938, when Papa Hallas beat Curly's team in Green Bay. The safety was scored on a bad snap in the endzone. Below are the pitiful stats from a rain game. It's also interesting to note that in such a sloppy game, there were no penalties or turnovers.

How do you get 1?

 

[Pkrjones]

How do you get 1?

Blocked extra point returned for a score.

 

[Pkrjones]

Doesn’t blocking an extra point “try” and returning it to the opposing Endzone result in a 2pt play? Or did the rule change again? because it was amended to be 2 point play a few years back

Saints score first defensive 2-point conversion

NFL history!

www.sbnation.com

I stand corrected, it is 2 points!! I don't know that it's possible, anymore, to score 1 point?

 

[G0P4ckG0]

I don't know that it's possible, anymore, to score 1 point?

Jets fans can relate

 

[OldSchool101]

I stand corrected, it is 2 points!! I don't know that it's possible, anymore, to score 1 point?

Yes. … .. But it’ll cost extra!

Sorry about the poor Midwest humor there

 

[Poppa San]

I stand corrected, it is 2 points!! I don't know that it's possible, anymore, to score 1 point?

Safety on an extra point?

TYPES OF SCORING PLAYS

Article 2 Types of Scoring Plays. Points are scored as follows: (a) Touchdown: 6 points; (b) Field Goal: 3 points; (c) Safety: 2 points; (d) Successful Try after touchdown: 1 point (Field Goal or Safety) or 2 points (Touchdown)

 

[G0P4ckG0]

So an opponent can end with 1 point if they return an extra “try” back for a Safety? Do do I have this right?

The only way a team can end with 1 point is if their opponent scores at minimum a TD (6)?
Meaning it can’t end 1-5 (FG+Safety)etc..
Or
Final score:
Team A=1
Team B=6+(x)
with x = any points beyond the TD

I'm so flipping confused

 

[OldSchool101]

Too funny. Got a good, long belly chuckle thank you!
I’m so sorry.. I should’ve just left a sleeping dog lie
If we ever end with 1 point I’ll be thoroughly disgusted!

I'm a math guy but trying to figure out this....is like playing 8-D chess with Stephen Hawking in a string theory wormhole. While on ALL the drugs.
