Lots of players and even Romo being out with COVID this week. Saints lose all their running backs.

I don't believe we'll see any upsets though ... the teams that need to win generally do so at this time of the season

Could be wrong of course but I reckon the Ravens,  Packers,  Saints,  Seahawks & Titans will all win.  Can't see the trap game (Saints?)

And I can't see any of Tampa,  Colts or the Pats losing either

However,  the Chargers are heavily favoured by the bookies @ KC.  Chiefs resting the starters? 

Not at all sure on your Rams ... 'Vegas' likes Arizona in your game

Prob with our game is we need to win and so do cards but we have lost too many. Looks like Floyd will be added to the not playin* list, so 6-7 starters no playing as Kisser who was due back now isn’t. 
 

Now we get to see if McVay is truly a genius at offensive schemes cos he will need a gem. Wolfed is the unknown. 
if he plays pretty well and protects the ball then we are a chance especially if our D plays to their level.

What a finish in the Titans/Houston match!

t_u was riding on a Tennessee win to tie with Clint in the tipping comp.  The Titans won so we ended up with joint winners

Seattle got up in the end too after being down 6 - 16 in the 4th

Gorg wins silver whilst GtB wins bronze after Washington won

More details to come later

And we have joint winners in the Tipping Comp!

Congratulations go out to first time winner, titan_uranus, and previous winner, Clintosaurus - well played gentlemen! 

Gorgoroth flashed home to end up with the 2nd highest tally of points whilst Go the Biff finished a point behind, thus gaining a podium spot

And a shout out to all participants - another smooth-running comp eventuated thanks to everyone's help.  As stated previously,  it's an easy comp to run thanks to the participants

But it's a tough comp to win,  that's for sure! (details on the post-season tipping comp to follow later - a second chance for tipping glory!)

 

But again,  congratulations to Clintosaurus & titan_uranus - both worthy winners of the 2020 Tipping Competition!

Cheers Macca, finally got some momentum at the right time but left the run too late. Was hoping for the Seahawks to lose?

For a while there you looked the winner Gorg

The things I needed to happen to get my multi's up just happened to involve the teams that a few here were relying on in the comp

Seattle coming back and Titans in a close one delivered for quite a few

So got 3 multi's up with close to a 4 figure outcome again (all up) so a happy camper here.  The teams that needed to win did win

Your Rams made it and now you go to Seattle.  GB get the week off which I believe will help the team.  All the match-ups look interesting in fact

6 playoff games next Sunday & Monday ... should be able to watch at least 5 of the 6 - Bliss!

Which team (or teams) are gonna get hot?

More details later but if we get enough starters,  a post season tipping comp can be held again.  We've held the post-season comp every year but we'll need 4 or 5 starters

Open for discussion but it can work like this ...

Week 1 ... 1 point for each win plus a bonus point if your margin of victory falls within 1-6,  7-12 or 13+

Week 2 ... 2 points per win plus 2 bonus points for each the correct margin bracket

Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for each correct margin bracket

Week 4 (Super Bowl) ... 5 points for the win plus 5 bonus points for the correct margin bracket

Traditionally we've posted up scorelines so the margin bracket will be covered in a default manner if scorelines are posted up

Feedback welcome

If we get enough starters,  a post season tipping comp can be held again.  We've held the post-season comp every year but we'll possibly need 4 or 5 starters.  Remembering that the games start early Sunday morning (AEDT)

It will work like this ...

Week 1 ... 1 point for each win plus a bonus point if your margin of victory falls within 1-6,  7-12 or 13+

Week 2 ... 2 points per win plus 2 bonus points for each the correct margin bracket

Week 3 ... 3 points per win plus 3 bonus points for each correct margin bracket

Week 4 (Super Bowl) ... 5 points for the win plus 5 bonus points for the correct margin bracket

Traditionally we've posted up scorelines so the margin bracket will be covered in a default manner if scorelines are posted up

 

Schedule and lines for next week (all times AEDT)  ... as an aid,  just Copy, Paste, Highlight & Scores (if playing  in the post-season tipping comp)

Re the post season tipping comp

n.b ... getting the margin right also means that you have to have the winner as well (in order to secure the bonus point or points)

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
