2015 Weekly NFL Picks

It appears the season is upon us again, and you know what that means: football! What better way to celebrate than to predict each game of the regular season?

Rules are the same as last year...navigate to the latest page and find that week's respective schedule...copy and paste it into a comment with your predictions, or simply quote the post and make your predictions that way. Because we score by percentages, anybody can join in at any time, even if you've missed a few weeks.

Erich took home top honors last year with just under 69% correct predictions, followed by Dustin at just over 67% and Mike at just under 67%.

Do I get extra points for going 16 and 0?

 

Yes, you get to coach the Washington Redskins!

Oh good, I can appoint myself QB.

BTW, Tom and Erich, I like the commentary with your picks. +1

 

You couldn't do much worse than the three dudes they have behind center. Of course, if Tony Romo's back acts up, we'll be wishing we had Kirk Cousins.

Btw, if you wish to recast your choices with snarky remarks, please do so, games like the Jets v Browns just about demand it.

OK, having got that out of the way, is/has anyone played "Draftkings". I'm debating giving that a go too. Comments?

Cheers,
Ian

 

I can't enjoy sports if I'm also worrying about losing money on the outcome, but that's just me...T

 

Fair enough & understood.

However, while I'm no "gambler", I find a (little!) "side bet", generally with buddies, adds to the fun. These guys just appear to be taking that to the next level. A *million* bucks to the winner every week!

OK, the odds are long, but I find a little "skin in the game" adds to my enjoyment/interest regardless of the outcome.

Cheers,
Ian

 

Even though I don't gamble, I go to Vegas often, and I suspect more people agree with you than I. Was there last year during the run up to the NFL playoffs, and it was fun to watch the game in the sports book with all the other people hooting and hollering as their luck waxed and waned...T

 

I'm curious about it myself. I did a little investigating about their offering to match up to $200. It turns out there's a catch, of course.

I figure if people are winning a million each week, many people are losing a total of at least two million each week. I just as soon put a couple bucks on Powerball each week.

My gripe is why is this allowed and online poker is outlawed.

If you do it please keep us updated.

 

WHY don't you just do a 'pick em league on Yahoo!?
It's a helluva lot easier (and free as well):

Pro Football Pick'em | Yahoo Sports

And on top of that, it keeps a running total of wins and also who wins each week.

Me too. But, what will become of my pithy remarks?!? My wife enjoys them immensely I'll have to pith here, I guess!

I figured it was easier to attract others via the sports forum here on FChat...I joined your group though, and also do it on NFL.com.
