the nfl 08-09 prediction thread

[alasdairm]

ok, i think we should start holding people to account for their predictions in the s&g nfl thread. anybody can make predictions if, when they're wrong, there's no accounting.

anybody interested in keeping score going forward for the rest of the season. at the end of the regular season, we can crown the bl nfl picks champion.

so, while there has been some discussion, there haven't actually been that many predictions in this thread. i scanned through and picked out anything that looked like a prediction and this is how things stand as of today:

name		wins	losses	pct
rusty cage	1	0	1.000
axl blaze	7	8	0.466
cravnbeets	1	2	0.333
stinkfoot	0	1	0.000
noexpert	0	1	0.000
phrozen		0	1	0.000

we don't need to over-complicate this with rules - as long as your picks are in by game-time, they're good. also, people should be encouraged to make a pick for every game.

thoughts? complaints? picks!

I still say the bears look good, but they aren't finishing strong. It's a major disappointment.

There ya go Ali.
