I’ve enjoyed it a lot, due to covid etc it’s certainly different and then flipping between the two squads means you get less fill. 

Yeah sound worthwhile cheers! I would have liked one solely on the Rams this year I just think that would be an interesting training camp to be around at the moment and how they are looking to rebound.

Watching McVay is awesome, he is such a personality, he is always on.

@Gorgoroth  @Dappa Dan  @DeeSpencer  @JV7  @Dee Zephyr  @Go the Biff  @titan_uranus  @layzie  @cowboy_from_hell  @Clintosaurus  @DemonDave  @pantaloons  @Strafford  @Cards13  @old dee  @daisycutter 

Tipping comp again?  We get 5 or 6 starters it's a goer

Reigning champ is JV7 whilst other winners include Gorgoroth (twice),  Dappa Dan,  DeeSpencer,  Clintosaurus,  Cowboy_from_Hell & Strafford.

From 3 picks tip 3 road winners in any given week is the task at hand (for those new to this thread) 

Various points* are on offer as we work our way through the season in order to find an overall winner.  It's a breeze (apparently!)

 

*

• Weeks 1,  3,  4,  6,  8,  10,  12,  14 -  1 point
• Weeks 2,  5,  7,  9,  11,  13,  15,  16 - 2 points (Week 16 used to be worth 1 point only but now is worth 2 points)
• Week 17 - 3 points

Well we've certainly got enough starters for the tipping comp but a shout out to @Dappa Dan  @Go the Biff  @titan_uranus  @Dr. Gonzo or anyone else who wants to join in the fun & frivolity.

3 only picks per week but all have to be road winners ... it's that simple.  Various points are awarded to those who get 'em right. 

Anyway,  here's a couple of previews for week 1 as well as the game listings again. (n.b. you'll have to click on the youtube link to view the NFL Network clips)

Yep I'll give this a go - every year I try to do this but forget to enter my tips and disappear halfway through the season. I'll try harder this year!

I'll go Seahawks, Eagles and Colts.

With 14 teams now making the playoffs the 1 seed from each conference are the only 2 teams to get a bye I believe

2 v 7,  3 v 6 & 4 v5 is the playoff pattern in each conference but I stand corrected on that. To be honest,  I'm tuning in late to proceedings so trying to catch up.  6 playoff games in week 1 of the post-season could get a bit hectic in terms of trying to watch all the games.

AFC East - Pats

AFC North - Ravens

AFC South - Colts

AFC West - KC

Wildcards - Bills,  Steelers,  Titans

NFC East - Dallas

NFC North - Packers

NFC South - Saints

NFC West - 49ers

Wildcards - Eagles,  Vikings,  Seahawks

n.b.  7Mate are covering the Pats/Miami match (Early) and the 49ers/Arizona game (Late)  No SNF or MNF though and that might be the ongoing schedule (just the 2 televised games every week)

Minshew is the man!!!! Was not expecting to win today. 1-15 is thw worst outcome now.

[layzie 33,862]

Wow nice way to wreck a morning! Got sliced by Deandre Hopkins all morning and when Kittle got hurt did nothing after. My expectations are tempered this year though, I think it's going to be real tough to win the division and can even see us finishing 4th with a winning record.
