there are a few teams that are going to play this week, jets, rams, bills, broncos, panthers, saints, vikings, basically all teams still fighting for a playoff spot. the game of the week will be the jets vs rams.

here's the playoff scenarios for week 17

I knew the ones still in the playoff hunt would play. I was wondering which teams that had their positions locked up would still play.

Week 17

Miami vs Baltimore

Minnesota vs Washington

Detroit vs Tennessee

NY Jets vs St Louis

Cincinnati vs Philadelphia

San Francisco vs New England

Cleveland vs Houston

Green Bay vs Chicago

New Orleans vs Carolina

Pittsburgh vs Buffalo

Tampa Bay vs Arizona

Atlanta vs Seattle

Kansas City vs San Diego

Jacksonville vs Oakland

Indianapolis vs Denver

Dallas vs NY Giants - 42

We should make something like the top 5 make it to the playoffs or something. So whoever finishes in top 5 (for example), they would make it for the playoff picks, the others are just out and can do it for fun. This is the best way I can think of doing it.

It would be quite dumb if everyone joined in, it would mess up the competitiveness which this is.

What do you guys think?

I think last year we included the playoffs just like regular season except there would be a third report after the games were done for the week. You would have the overall score (regular season record + playoff record), the week score (record for the week), and the new report would be overall playoff score (record for the playoffs). The Neowin champion would be the winner of the year to date score (regular season record + playoff record). Tie breaker for the year to date would be the guess of the superbowl score.

For example:

Playoffs Round 2:

This Weeks Winner Is: jmole!

jmole..........................4-0 <---- Results from round 2 picks

Playoffs To Date:

jmole.........................7-1 <----- Results from round 1 + round 2 picks

Year To Date:

jmole.........................158-90 (+275) <--- Playoffs score would be added to this

Or if you want we could have a: Regular Season Neowin Winnner (don't add playoff picks to year to date), Playoff Winner (based off playoff picks), and Overall Winner (Regular season picks + Playoffs picks)

Edited by jmole
if we limit who can pick, then I think we should only allow the weekly winners to pick the playoffs.  if we don't limit who can pick, then jmole's idea works fine.

If you want to limit people to the playoff picks, then it should only be the people have participated all 17 weeks. Oh well, it should be up to boog to decide, he is running the show.

I finally found last year's thread, we could do it the same way: Link.

if we limit who can pick, then I think we should only allow the weekly winners to pick the playoffs.? if we don't limit who can pick, then jmole's idea works fine.

585192076[/snapback]

hehe.. haven't we all been the weekly winner atleast once? :laugh::

how about we combine both ideas and i'll add my two cents:

160+ wins and your in the playoffs

reg season winner

playoffs winner

overall winner

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
