the nfl 10-11 prediction thread

[alasdairm]

last season's thread is here: the nfl 09-10 prediction thread

as last year, as long as your picks are in by game time, they're good. we'll keep track of cumulative scores weekly. if you are participating, please make a pick for every game.

in a slight change to the rules, if you miss more than one week (i understand life sometimes gets in the way so everybody can have one off week) your cumulative scores will no longer be recorded.

also, please copy the list from somebody else so the format and order are always the same - so much easier to score that way.

winning will be its own reward

smotpoker, if you leave your list formatted like that, it will not be included.

I'm hoping to get some "surprise points," and beat the rest of you with a possible Pittsburgh and St. Louis victory.

I have the AFC North going 4-0 in the first week of action, fwiw

[alasdairm]

why won't it be counted? the caps are my winning picks, so no reason not to count it.

read the op. different formats making scoring a pain. please use the same format as everybody else.

i tried to put it in bold letters but it my computer wouldn't let me. oh well I guess i will just not participate

Use the feautre.

 

[alasdairm]

smotpoker, you are certainly free to take your ball and go home but bolding the entries is easy. try highlighting your pick and pressing <ctrl><b>. that will work in any half-decent browser. failing that, just encase each pick in [b][/b] tags which you can copy and paste for ease.

I wanted to go with Sam Bradford and the Rams, but couldn't bring myself to do it. I'd like to see them do well, even though I really dislike the city of St. Louis...

 

[johanneschimpo]

alasdair, I've never known where you get that exact list from, so I hope this one does. It might not be identical, but it has the games in order.

I totaled up all of last weeks, then somehow lost it before submitting it (and now I'm too frustrated to do it again). If no one does it in the next few days I'll do it again, pitch in to keep it running.


Here's next week's games, along with my picks (I'm terrible at it, but oh well). Surely I'll be changing one or two of them on saturday night, but I wanted to get them up in case I forgot like I did last week, and also so other people can begin to make theirs picks.:

ya'll really think that Cincinnati can beat Baltimore? their defense looked paltry against a Patriots team that doesn't quite have their usual offensive firepower
