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

    • Limited time Prime Day deal cuts price of this Hisense 65" 4K smart TV in half by Ivan Jenic It’s Amazon Prime Day, and brands are offering great deals to consumers. One of the best deals of the day is definitely this Hisense 65" U7, which is currently $799.99 on Amazon, down from $1,499.99. That's nearly 50% off and $700 saved on this feature-packed 4K TV (purchase link down below). The U7 uses Mini-LED backlighting with up to 3,000 local dimming zones and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. That means blacks are truly deep and highlights are punchy enough to hold up even in bright rooms. The screen is covered with a dual-layer anti-reflection coating, which prevents the afternoon overhead lights from washing the picture. For gaming, the native 165Hz refresh rate and VRR 330 support make this one a great TV option for PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV even features a native game mode, which should help minimize the input lag for a better gaming experience. Audio is handled by a 2.1.2 channel system tuned by Devialet, which is a notable partnership for a TV at this price. Additionally, Dolby Vision IQ, Dolby Atmos, and IMAX Enhanced are all supported. It runs Fire TV with Alexa+ built in. So, if you’re looking for a sharp, large screen to watch the World Cup on, the U7 at this price is definitely an attractive option. Speaking of which, Hisense is the official sponsor of the World Cup, which should mean absolutely nothing to you, and isn’t the reason why you should by this TV. The reason why you should buy it is that it’s “la bella televisione, HDTV-compatible, beautiful,” and available at half the price. Hisense 65" U7 Mini-LED 4K Smart Fire TV - $799.99 | 47% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified. We only use first-party seller links (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you purchase from a first-party seller link only. Check out Today's Deals on Amazon | or our recent tech deals.

    • Re: Capitalism. It's just 1 of dozens of economic models currently-adopted worldwide; most national models separate money from politics thereby limiting the influence wealth carries over the economy (due to limited tentacles wealth politics has over the broader economy). The "American model" of unfettered financial influence should NOT be the variant of pure capitalism adopted worldwide. More regulations formulated within this variant is effectively useless due to the misalignment between regulatory objectives and fundamental influence wealth politics carry over the market. Re: enough money. Without constraining the breadth/depth/scope/scale that any measure of money/wealth can have within a market, there will always inherently be those who have "enough money" and those who do not. Those without "enough money" will always lose -- regardless if a bedroom DJ, indie developer, or million-dollar corporation going against a billion-dollar mega-corporation. The evil is the absence of guardrails against the influence of wealth; not the mere existence of wealth. Re: dragged through the courts. The liberalist nature of litigation does not exclude anyone, anywhere, for any reason for getting dragged through the courts. Rather than formalize remediation pathways for various perceived ills, everything is left up to flawed interpretations... and this is where a litigation-averse community fails to thrive (thus a losing proposition when dragged to courts). Everyone should have more protections and clear remediation strategies! Going to an alternate remediation arbitration is OK so long as the case review and remediation processes are clear and transparent. For corporations, hit them where it hurts: automatic financial penalties. (PS: This is where corporate risk management strategies would do well to behave more ethically.) Overall, failure to truly shake-up the incentive core and regulatory extremities of the economic market will necessarily mean that all other actions are simply applying lipstick on a pig. Change begins from the inside. Is the root cause of the problem that a majority of consumers within a market goes for Option Brand-name versus Option Indie? Or that brand-name is spending foreign money to control domestic markets? Or that money is the objective measure for success across all walks of life? Or that deep pockets dictate the moral and ethical rights/wrongs of entire societies? Regardless of the answer (and there's nothing inherently wrong with being a socialist or communist or whatever label your surroundings deem 'cool' or 'uncool') there's a common thread: If a market truly wants to nurture domestic innovation, then performative finger-wagging will do nothing to that end.
