Here's last year's final tally in the tipping comp ...

Final Leaderboard (2016/17)

12 - Gorgoroth

7 - Clintosaurus,  DeeSpencer

--------------------------------

6 - JV7

4 - Macca

Gorgoroth set the high score last season although it was the first year where we had the current amount of bonus weeks.

Clintosaurus leads the current comp with 12 points (see above) so we'll probably see a new record score set.  A total of 6 points are still up for grabs

Well done mate. Chose the one I hoped for. See you again in playoffs.

You need to maintain the 1 seed to have a chance ... that has to happen.  Your likely opponents in week 2 and/or 3 could be 2 dome teams (Saints/Vikes) or a Rams team that hasn't been in the playoffs for yonks. 

 

I wouldn't want to face the Rams again. No way. Saints probably next most feared, followed by the Vikes...

If Packers did somehow get in, I would put them just after the Rams in the most scary category.

It's gonna be an intriguing time. I think in some ways the pressure is sort of off. At least as fans. Many have given up the idea that they seriously can threaten. I've spoken to some who thought they were so far ahead they couldn't miss a superbowl... and now they're just back in the pack. Most are just hoping, but resigned to a manful defeat.

Got two good running backs, good recievers, great TE. Not all doom and gloom. Your d is good as well.

Chamce is there, but u are now back with the pack.

3 actually. Keep your eye on Clement. He's a beauty.

Yeah, I'm not saying they're out of it yet... I think it's less of a comment on the Eagles, more of a comment on what I'm seeing from opposition. Vikings D, Saints D... wowee... I don't think Eagles can say they're better than those guys. Also the whole "Eagles haven't played anyone" thing is true... they've had maybe 4 good teams. Just barely squeaked through... I reckon Rams fans will be licking their lips if they face Eagles in week 2 of playoffs.

We need to fix our secondary. We give up way too many third and long plays.

Anyone on here in the Armchair Endzone comp run through BigFooty? If not you should - costs $40 per season and there is 6 comps.

Dont go on bigfooty so nah.

Yeah, most of them are based around weighted tips each week. If there is 16 games in a week then each game gets points from 16 (most confident) to 1 (least confident)

The different competitions are explained here:

That's interesting... I'd be more inclined to propose a basic PPR fantasy league here... you know.. the one I keep banging on about. Also, just keeping up with you is hard enough to concentrate on lol

I find it cosier to do it in a cultured forum like demonland. Bigfooty really is the lowest common denominator.

Going a bit strange and fun by choosing a few less easy.

Preliminary picks for this week: Broncos, Eagles, Falcons. Reckon Baltimore may slip up against the Browns.

Obviously can't change my Broncos pick and will stick with the others.

Lions game was horrible. Horrible.

 

Chiefs game was decent, thought they held Bosa from causing Smith too much grief.

[Gorgoroth 12,319]

Nervous as hell today. If all goes well at work ill be home to start the redzone at 2pm but I reckon I'll be working back again. So will fidget through the early games then nervously pace through our game. 

Go Rams!

Jags in the playoffs. Philly just got there - looked like Eli was going to pull a win out of his backside. Browns gonna Brown. Rodgers not quite.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Rams Seahawks massive implications all over the place. Rams off to a good start.
