Still not a fan of the three points at the end as it's bloody hard to win and if yo are up by two and lose in the last that would be a bit harsh.

    Yep, you make a good point Gorgo but from my point of view and in the interest of keeping up the interest (so to speak), the 3 pointer at the end keeps the participants in it, often until the final week. 

    And finishing 'on the podium' only is interesting for historical purposes.  Anyway, the key to it all is perseverance and never believing you're out of it.  From memory @Strafford missed a couple/few weeks in the first comp but was still the joint winner with 'cfh'

    The 'mathematical possibility' is never more apt than with this unnecessarily cruel tipping comp :ph34r:

    Few injuries for the Rams this week.

    Still no Aaron Donald and I just read that Ogletree has not signed a new deal yet and it seems to have stalled... if we lose them both I'm flying to LA and burning down the half built stadium.

    10 days to go and it's on ... not a bad game to start with too - KC @ Patriots (Friday Sept 8 - 10.30am)

    Anyway, for those who may want to participate in an NFL tipping comp,  we're running one here (again)

    Feel free to join in the comp anytime.  It's a bit of fun and we could do with a few more people on the thread anyway.  It looks like we've got 6 or 7 starters to begin with so it's all systems go.

                                Rules of the 'Demonland' NFL tipping competition

    • All participants are allowed 3 picks only in any given week - but, they must all be 'road' teams.
    • Anyone who correctly tips all 3 winners from their 3 picks receives 1 point (any number of people can win a point in any given week)
    • Bonus points are up for grabs in weeks 2,  5,  7,  9,  11,  13,  15 (2 points to all winners) whilst week 17 carries 3 points for any given winner.
    • No margins or correct scores are required - just the straight winners.
    • If you miss a week or come into the comp later on,  there is no penalty.  You just simply miss the chance to win points for that week or weeks. You can join in the comp at any time.
    • Your tips must be in before the start of Monday's games (AEST) ... or before the Friday game if you include that game.  All 3 tips must be included in your post (editing your tips is strictly forbidden :))
    • The person (or persons) with the most points at the end of the regular season wins.

    Here's an early look at the week 1 games & lines ...

    I'm thinking of dumping Foxtel, but living in the country I get terrible reception.

    Does 7mate replay games or can you watch them at your lesuire on their site or is it as it's shown and if you miss it, so be it.

    Don't take it as gospel but pretty sure theres no replays on 7mate, I could be wrong though... As much as I find it a rip off I just paid the $275 for gamepass so I know I can watch all games... Bloke at work chipped in $100 so has worked out ok for me

    To be honest, NFL coverage in this Country is not great currently. You got 7Mate who often whiff on the right games to show, nothing on Fox and then the Sun/Mon night games. The Redzone channel is a slight reprive hard when you're fans like us who want to analyse a whole game!

    Think my method will be to 'find a way' to obtain Niners games and watch them on Mon night.

    I loved game pass when I had it but it's pretty expensive and I now live in the country on adsl1 so don't trust the connection.

    Think I'll stay with Foxtel for now.

    Ok I'm back in for tipping and thought I'd pick the division champs:

    AFC:
    North: Steelers
    East: Pats
    South: Texans 
    West: ???? Chiefs
    WC: Raiders, Bengals

    NFC:
    North: Packers
    East: Eagles
    South: Falcons
    West: SeaHawks
    WC: Giants, Panthers

    Aside from the usual standouts - Pats in the AFC East, Packers and SeaHawks in the NFC, there's some really competitive divisions. 

    With a bumper crop of QB's coming in to the league the teams without one - in particular the Jets, the Bills might fall by the wayside quickly. Otherwise a lot of teams will have something to offer. I expect the 49ers offense with Hoyer playing for Shanahan before will surprise a lot of people. They won't be Atlanta but they'll score. 

    As a Bears fan I'm hoping the team restores some proper Bears defense and they can if they stay healthy. After that most of the season is just living in hope Trubisky develops in to a franchise QB.

    Leaving aside those teams with little hope,  I found myself still leaving out a number of decent or half decent teams (Giants,  Eagles,  Texans,  Raiders,  Bengals,  Saints(?),  Arizona(?).  Rams(?)

    As always, a few teams will fall away and other, less fancied teams will bob up from nowhere.  Every year we've done this I reckon we've all missed by a fair bit.  Picking 5 from 8 division winners is about par. 

    AFC:
    North: Steelers
    East: Pats
    South: Colts
    West: Denver

    WC: KC,  Ravens

    NFC:
    North: Packers
    East: Dallas
    South: Falcons
    West: Seahawks

    WC:  Vikings,  Panthers

    NFC Championship - Falcons/Dallas

    AFC Championship - Patriots/Steelers

    SB: Patriots/Dallas

    There's a couple of standout road chances in week 1 but finding a definite 3rd road winner is tricky ...

    Colts look to be also missing their centre as well as Luck.

    I think we will be missing Donald.

    Imagine Donald over the back up centre against the back up QB... Sigh...

    Week one is so hard as you can not rely on preseason results.

    I'm at a stage with the pre-season games where I just have a quick look at the results and how many snaps Rodgers has had!

    The clubs get a bit out of them with regards schemes, formations and the like but the scoring and the winning & losing seems secondary.

    We didn't even play any starters vs the Packers in the last game.

    Wow. Eagles?

    I'm a fan, but jeez. I can't see us getting anywhere near Giants or Cowboys... and probably struggling against Skins TBH.

    It will be interesting what the leauge does with the Bucs/Miami game scheduled in Miami with this hurricane about.. Playing in Florida has been ruled out and now it's whether they relocate or move it to week 11 where both sides have their bye... Surely they just relocate, no bye is a huge disadvantage for both teams!

    Yeah that would suck for the teams having no bye.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
