      @MaccaI’m going out on a limb and saying Pats won’t make the SB!!!

 

Alright its been a couple of years for me of not competing in this at least!
Heres my crack at week 1:

Jags, Titans, Rams

Week 1 has to be a bit of a crapshoot doesnt it? NFL preseason games are so mickey mouse they make the NAB Cup look like the Olympics!

Count me in again

Simple and fun comp this. As well as being a lot more challenging than it looks to pick up points. Get on board !

 

Steelers

Titans

Bengals

AFC:

East: Patriots

North: Steelers

South: Texans

West: Chargers

Wild Cards: Chiefs and Jaguars

NFC:

East: Giants

North: Vikings

South: Saints

West: Rams

Wild Cards: Seahawks and Packers

 

Man, AFC was way easier than NFC. Steelers and Pats to go all the way to championship game. Found it tough to pick Texans and Chargers to win their divisions, but Chiefs and Jags will only just get pipped and will play Wild Card games.

NFC is amazing this year. How one earth did I not pick Falcons, Panthers and Eagles? Have to pick Vikings (Best D in the NFC IMO), Saints were great last year and deserved to go further. Rams are the breakout superstars of the comp... EVERYONE is picking Eagles, but at least early on they are lacking pretty much everywhere on offense. The season will get away from them early and they'll be playing catch up all year. Giants will be the shock winner of a meh NFC East. Wilson and Rodgers will see their teams through messy rosters. Eagles couldn't beat Seahawks last year. Wilson will win league MVP.

Rams

Steelers

Dallas

8 participants so far with a few to come ... I might put all the tips together in one post so people can compare tips whilst also making it easier for me to tally them all up on a Tuesday or Wednesday.

You won't see your avatar name on the leaderboard until you get off the mark although those on zero points will be lumped together as 'The Usual Suspects' or suchlike

Anyway,  thanks for the response and good luck to all. 

 

Rams

Bengals

Titans

Would have gone Steelers but want to see the Browns win.

I'll try to join this year - I regularly miss a week or two early and then fall behind/drop out, but I'll try to keep up this time!

Titans, Steelers, Rams

Guess the Lines Week 1 With Cousin Sal | The Bill Simmons Podcast

Super-Friday coming up with the Falcons @ Eagles as an ideal lead in to the Demons finals match against the Cats.  NFL & Demons for at least one week and if we prevail we'll do it all again Friday week with another NFL/Demons double. 

Anyway,  Atlanta has been touted as a team that can contend whilst Foles could well start off where he left off and win again.  I fancy the Eagles but it could be close.  Really good pipe-opener,  all the same. 

11 in the comp with maybe 1 or 2 more to come.  Could get real interesting with a full crew going at it.  Hope all your teams win and most importantly,  go the mighty Demons!

Cameron Johnston first 2 punts: 65 yards and 56 yards. 60.5 average. Not a bad start.

Hardly a classic, but I'll take it. Soft 3 weeks now then the scary stuff starts.

Just got to the end of the game ... average/ordinary affair to be honest - a fizzer.

Ryan seemed out of it in terms of a winning throw  at the death - 'rust' all round with 1 team coming out on top.  Not sure we learned a lot Dappa,  if anything.

Yup,. Came away from it at first relieved for the win, and impressed by the D.... but on reflection (especially after an unforgettable final tonight) it really was a bad team beating up on a worse team. Lots of work to do.

So often happens - hype exceeds the actuality.  Both teams looked out of sorts although the Philly special was a highlight.

Season proper will deliver though - it always does.  When a whole bunch of games played at the same time happens,  the drama eventuates.

I can't wait to watch the remaining week 1 games. Some teams I wanna get around like Rams, Pack etc... Never mind today's schlockfest.

@JV7  would have to be disappointed even though the win was there for the taking at the death.

As for the Eagles,  as Barassi once said when he coached us,  a win is a win is a win.  Bank the win and go to Tampa and hopefully advance to 2 & 0.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
