NFL Week 16 Prizes & Picks

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Don't sweat it, we're all sucking it up this week lol.

Yeah, add me to the Hoover list.

Looks like SoxFan#1 has a virtual lock on the Spread Category, the Straight Category is a virtual run down the stretch. Just about everyone has a record of 7-6 and have picked the same for the remaining 3 games, with the exception of Stocker323 ( who picked Balt. tonight ). So tonight will determone who's in the running for Monday Night ( deciding the Spread Category on Monday night ). In another update, I spent alot of time PMing a number of people in an attempt to either clarify if their picks were for fun or prizes ( due to the original post and the resultant confusion ) or to get them to include the MNF total points tie breaker. As a result some have indicated that they were playing for fun, withdrew, or didn't respond ). Late Sat. I noticed that my pick for St. Louis in the Spread Category wasn't expressed in bold, so I edited it to appear in bold. It was a definate loss, at the time. I didn't realize, that no one would know what I edited. In hind sight, I should have just left it blank. Normally, I'd just withdraw or change my designation to "just for fun" . However, if I do so, the amount of qualified contestants for the prize category would fall below the required 8 needed. So therefore, I've disqualified myself from the Spread Category, so that I may follow the rules and still award all the prizes. Anyone, that has a problem let me know.

yeaaa i knew bears would win this game against the pcakers. Bret, Bret, Bret, this season is not your season. 4 interception game and is now just 2 away from eclipsing the 30 mark

It's all about the under-appreciated offensive line my friend. That's what it's all about. Brett has some time to throw, but I can say confidently that 95% of those picks have been because that pocket collapses on him. It's not Brett's fault, honestly, this Packers team just doesn't want to win.

 

By the way, I noticed that the Packers have a Driver (Donald), and a Walker (Javon)...I wonder which one's faster?

Going into Monday Night Football, One Red Seat ( picking for recognition ) has won the Spread Category with a fine record of 9-5. He is also tied with Stocker323 for bragging rights in the Straight Category. This is a replay of last week, but both have NE so it will come down to the total points for MNF. Only time will tell. Meanwhile, Soxfan#1 has clinched the Spread prize with a record of 8-6. Congrats ! The Straight Category is still in question depending on who wins the game. Stocker323 has the lead with a record of 9-6 and has picked NE. RedRuffing15 has a record of 8-7, but has selected NYJ. Monday Night Football total ponts is still up for grabs. Good luck everyone.

Fun Fact for everyone, The last time the Jets and Patriots played, where one of the teams scored over 30 was in 2002, and the highest scoreing ever was a 47-31 Jets win when they won the SB('68) Largest margin of victory for the Patriots was a 53 point win in '79, and largest for the Jets was a 19point win in the 80's

 

Also, 36 years ago, the Jets played the first ever MNF game on ABC, vs the Browns, they will also play in the last MNF game ever on ABC this year.

 

 

 

 

So ALL odds are agenst me, lets hope I can beat them, come on 42-20 JETS!

[Soxfan1]

Thanks Cape. Everybody went under 500!

[stocker323]

So if it's either a Pats win or a high scoring game I pretty much get the 25 bucks sounds good to me.

Stocker I was suprised at your record for the week. I thought you were the "favorite"

[schillingouttheks]

You just got lucky.

[Soxfan1]

You just got lucky.

Well I got $50 extra in my pocket for doing this. I'd rather be lucky then out 50 bucks.

[schillingouttheks]

Haha, very true.

I'm better at straight picks than the spread I've always maintained that. There's a reason why I've won straight picks all 3 weeks and I'm looking to make it 4.

Actually, you won the Straight Pick Prize, three straight weeks. One Red Seat beat you last week and is tied this week.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Congats SoxFan#1 ! However, three were 500 or better : One Red Seat, SoxFan#1, and jimmycarter05.

The Pats win part is correct. However, if the Pats lose it goes to the tie breaker for that category. The tie breaker is the closest to Monday Night Football Total Points between the tied contestants. In this case, the closest between your pick of 50 and RedRuffing15 pick of 62 would win. Any score below 56 you win, 56 exactly you tie, and anything over 56 RedRuffing15 wins.

Oh I was under the impression Red Ruffing picked a low score since they put that stat up that it's historically been low scoring. I guess I should of actually took a gander at what number they picked.

Anyone watching the football clinic on ABC?

[schillingouttheks]

Eh, 1 bad pass by Brady. It wasn't even a bad pass, it's just that Law knows the play...

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Yup, I'm here . This is the last ABC broacast for MNF, at least for a while, a lot of memories.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Was it me, or did the comments and replay focus on Vrabel, because I didn't see how Tedy got hurt. What about an update on Samuel ?

[riverside sluggers]

Vrabel was carted off the field and brought to the locker room, being labeled as a leg injury

 

Assante Samuel had the "wind knocked out of him", but he too has been sent to the locker room. He is questionable to return later in the game.

[ORS]

28-7, now. But, more importantly, 256-28 in yards from scrimmage, and 32:58-6:26 in time-of-possession. Absolute dominating performance again.

Maybe i'm wong but I thought itwas Tedy B.

[riverside sluggers]

sorry a typo. i wrote that around the same time vrabel had caught his 2nd touchdown pass.

[YanksHater213]

You are gay now.

[Sox Fan on Cape]

Could someone else post the matchups next week, just for fun. Then post the results. I really have to load, down load ( up dates ), debug, and do equipment rehab for my tax practice. As far as play-offs I have yet to figure out a simplist format that people can or would follow and that I'd have the time to administer. Any suggestions PM me. Thanks guys.

[element1151]

I can do it next week, SFoC.
