Neowin's Official 2003-04 Weekly NFL Picks

[-=SD=-]

2-0 (well, don't want to jinx them but the panthers have it wrapped up)

:)

[Xeonic]

1-1...

[bonobozoot]

0-2.... :angry: stupid Dallas and Baltimore.

[....]

What horrid playcalling by Parcells. Ugh. They never threw deep to spread the defense.

[CatnipOligarchy]

2-0 here, and i had 38 points in the dallas game, 39 were scored... its looking good so far, glad to see dallas lose

[Xeonic]

Indy you better win tommarow...I wanna have a respectable .750 winning record

[[yt]]

Indy has no chance... The Broncos beat them pretty good a few weeks back and that was without Clinton Portis. :yes:

*Geez Catnip... why you copying my same points for the DAL vs CAR game :p

[Xeonic]

Seatle is not going to win...they cant win away from home and they sure as hell arnt going into Lambeau in January and going to come out with a win.

[CatnipOligarchy]

its the playoffs, anything can happen in the playoffs. the pack is overrated and they cant ride that favres dad thing forever

Agreed that anything can happen in the playoffs. But Seattle CANNOT win away from home, period.

I shoulda explained the point issue...

Since there are only 4 games, one game will be selected each week for the tiebreaker.

After the Superbowl is done, I'll post the total winner. Each person will have a point total at the end and whoever is closest to that total points for each round (should there be a tie) wins.

For example....

BOOG, [yt], [saint dark],Catnip and myie are all in the contest....

11 games are total at the end:

BOOG is 9-2

[yt] is also 9-2

[sd] is 6-5 :D (have to beat you somehow....might as well be hypothetical)

Catnip is 9-2

myie is 7-4

There are 4 weeks of games. 1 game per week has point amounts, so you have 4 games for points for tiebreakers....

Say you pick 25 points each game (to make it easy)

First game scored 20, next 35, next 45, next 50. So...first game you were off by 5, second 10, third 20, fourth 25, for a total difference of 60 points.

in our above example, whoever had the lowest difference between BOOG, [yt], and Catnip would be the winner.

Had to get this complicated since there are only 11 games....and they are usually easier to predict than the regular season.

[CatnipOligarchy]

so there will be no weekly winners i take it?

[....]

so there will be no weekly winners i take it?

Nah. I thought about it, but since points can be easily duplicated, and there are so few games per week....it'd be silly.

Course, 'Lahrd?' might make more sense then the aforementioned point rules:D:D

[CatnipOligarchy]

point rules make sense.. one other question..

do these playoff standings play into our regular season records, or is this a seperate event

[....]

This is separate.............methinks I shoulda make a postseason thread.....

[CatnipOligarchy]

doh didnt see this a few pages back

Ok...next post will be an all new playoff pick-em....everyone starts fresh!

:pinch:

and no need for a playoff thread, weve all made our picks in here, unless maybe a playoff discussion thread like the mlb and nhl playoff threads of the old days of general discussion

[....]

:ninja: Very well. I'll do that.

[sanctified Veteran]

damn 1-1, lousy ravens lost

[vip]

****er that dallas lost man, i was hoping they'd suprise us and at least make it to the last round :( they played like a high school football team last night :/

[....]

^^^They sure did. :angry:

[-=SD=-]

Let's go Indy!!!! 4-0 here I come :D

[sbweb77]

4-0 :D (if only carolina hadn't let carter walk into the endzone would have had the points too)

[....]

Wildcard weekend is done, and here are the results so far. The number next to your name indicates how far off you were to picking the total points. again, each week will have a tiebreaker point guess, should we have a need for a tiebreaker at the end. I will total each week's tiebreaker points for each week. Should there be a tie, the person with the lowest tiebreaker points wins.

The following people got 4-4: Way to go!

jmole -- 2

myie2_user -- 8

Xeonic -- 22

This group is two off the pace, going 2-2:

Xtrolyte -- 3

Cube -- 15

This group is three off the pace, going 1-3:
