You could go about .500 just picking winners at random. Madden got some scores near right, but got some scores way wrong.

Thanks for catching that; it was a typo. Minnesota won that game 20-13 in the sim.

Funny coincidence: doing a franchise as the Bengals and this game came out 34-31 in Houston's favor, but decided in OT! Also, I fan drafted but let the comp pick (Tom Brady's my QB).

Also, you forgot to note that Ten/Pit (week 1) was OT.

Personal note: I have to say that Madden surprised me this time around. I disagree with quite a few of the picks and nearly all the scores. We'll see how this goes this week, but I'd be surprised if this is better than .500 this week. Some roster notes: I inactivated Welker for the ATL/NE game and let Moss play. To handle the Kolb/Vick game, I put simmed the first half with Kolb and put Vick in during the second half to make sure that they both played. I couldn't think of a better solution and (judging by today's game so far), it would've been a pain to sub them in on different plays for each series.

Well, the game is 10-4 right now with two games left; hoping we can at least go 11-5 this week as the Cards are going to need a heckuva second half to rebound in this game right now.

MatrixTN · 09-30-2009, 01:16 AM

Looking good so far.

The game is looking sharp so far this week (don't want to jinx anything). My gut says that it'll be wrong with NYJ/NO, given the 17-0 score right now. I was confused about the ending of the Bengals/Browns game and had originally marked it as a 20-20 tie with a "NEITHER!" prediction outcome, but apparently Cincy won in the last seconds of OT. This prompts me to figure out how a tie affects the predictions and what to do in the event of one.
