Sab's NFL Pick 'em Game - Week 1 Open for Predictions
Ok...sabotai's run a game on here for a while now, where you predict the score of four NFL games each week. You pick three of the games yourself, they can be any of the games for the week (as long as you predict before kickoff). The fourth game is the Monday Night Football Game for the week, and EVERYONE has to pick the score for this game.
Scoring: This game is like golf -- the lower the score, the better. You get one point for each point of difference between your predicted score for a team, and their actual score. You get 10 extra points if you pick the wrong winner. If you guess one team's score exactly right, you get a -3 point bonus. If you guess the exact correct result, you get a -10 point bonus. For example, if I were to predict the Thursday night game as such: Indianapolis 28 New Orleans 23 I would get 13 points for Indianapolis (41-28) and 13 points for New Orleans (23-10), for 26 total points (that's not so good). We will tally up the points for each week on Tuesday (hopefully), and we will keep a running tally of entries throughout the course of the season. If you miss a week for some reason, you will get the Average Score for the week +30 points. Also, if you have to change a prediction, MAKE A NEW POST. Do not edit your post once you have submitted your picks, or I will ignore the entry. Post your predictions for Week 1 in this thread, and you MUST include the Monday Night Football game. Since there's two this week, I flipped a coin. Here's the game you need to include: Cincinnati @ Baltimore |
I don't have time to do it this year. If you want to run the game, go right ahead. I don't have a spreadsheet or program or anything to keep track of scores (last year's spreadsheet got left behind on my old, dead hard drive.).

I asked the same thing to Vince. If you want to host it, I'm sure I could help you out.
|
Sounds good...I'll change this right up. Correct me if my scoring is off :)
|
Ok, rules posted. Not sure what exactly the ruling was last year on the missed week -- I decided week average + 30 points. I figure we should be penalizing players for not participating, and I think that'll do at least a decent job. Contest is open for entries, though :)
|
I'll get the ball rolling by saying that this week is pretty brutal in terms of matchups. I don't see many that I really like. Here goes nothing...
New England 24 New York Jets 16 Tampa Bay 13 Seattle 21 Kansas City 31 Houston 17 Baltimore 14 Cincinnati 13 |
Indy 41
New Orleans 10 |

Still have time to pick the late games, I hope.

ah crap i'm picking the 4pm games too if its still allowed, I don't think any have started:

Double Crap - I didn't read the part where we had to pick the Cin/Bal game so what does that mean besides that I need to read the directions more carefully next time :/

ARI-SF is a Monday night game too and you picked for that, so make a new post (NEW POST, don't edit your old post) with your Cin-Bal prediction to replace the ARI-SF pick. |
Thanks Sab - ok so my NEW POST (including the predictions of my other three games would be:
Chicago 24 San Diego 31 Detroit 20 Oakland 9 NY Giants 12 Dallas 17 Cincinnati 24 Baltimore 17 Dammit, that SF game was the one I was really solid about. Those other three games will teach me why I shouldn't wait til the middle of Sunday to pick my scores! |

So, um...ouch? |
GOD I'M GOOD!
Ravens 20 Bengals 27 BOOYAH. |
damn, so close, I had the bengals 28-20.
|
If only I could trade my Dallas prediction for my SF prediction . . . I wonder if I have the WORST score even though I picked all the winners?!
GO NINERS! |
I'll try to get the scoring done tomorrow, and I'll put up the new thread as well.
|
So...a very hit-or miss week. You were either on, or you weren't. 15 Entries...here's the leaderboard:
Hilights of the week: - RendeR's perfect score guess for the Cincinnati/Baltimore game gives him the first this season, and a -10 point bonus. - Andiamo was indeed the highest score for the week, even though he predicted the winner correctly in each game. - Vince and Andiamo tied for the worst single-game score this week with 51. - Outside of RendeR's perfect guess, Radii's Cinci/Bal. guess of 28-20 was worth a 2nd best -2 points. Check out the new thread for next week's games! |
