Cool to have a Packers fan on here—have mentioned in other threads but I grew up in Wisconsin and my family has had Packers season tickets since the Lombardi years.

@JV7 @DeeSpencer @Dee Zephyr @titan_uranus @DemonDave @Gorgoroth @The Cult of Disco Turner

Yes, it's that time of year again! The NFL kicks off next Friday 10am with Dallas @ Eagles. Tipping comp should be a goer again ... 3 road winners with 3 picks gets you 3 points (2 from 3 gains 1 point) So far, 8 participants

Bonus point weeks (Double Points)- Weeks 2, 5, 9, 13, 17 & 18

And if you are the sole winner in any given week you gain a bonus point

And a shout-out to anyone that wants to participate in the comp ... just post up your 3 road winners and away you go. Easy as pie

Welcome to the thread!

Feel free to join in on the comp if you are so inclined. It's not all that time-consuming coming up with 3 road winners, but nevertheless, it's not easy either!

I’m in @Macca

So how many of the 8 favoured divisional winners will actually win their division?

It rarely goes the predicted way with 2, 3 or even 4 favoured teams not winning their respective divisions by seasons end

Here are the current favourites as per the Vegas odds

NFC North - Packers marginally over the Lions

NFC West - 49ers then Rams

NFC Sth - Tampa then Atlanta

NFC East - Eagles then Washington

AFC North - Ravens then Bengals

AFC West - Chiefs then Denver

AFC Sth - Houston then Jags

AFC East - Bills then a big gap to the Pats

The Falcons, Bengals, Jags, Rams and definitely the Lions would all be in the running

And if Rodgers clicks at the Steelers, they could feature (last season 10 & 7)

Bengals, Cards, Buccs

Fantastic Disco! Never been to Wisconsin but it looks like a beautiful part of the country.

My dad went to Madison as part of an 'Architectural' trip around the states about 15 years ago, some stunning buildings there.

Bengals, Cards, Dolphins

Chiefs, Bengals, Steelers

What is your apparatus out of curiosity?

The picture in my head is one Excel file with a sheet tab for every year and the tabs are starting to go off the screen 🙂

Ha! Issue has been fixed as BDA's posts have magically reappeared!

WTF was Carter thinking????

I hope the league bans him for another 3 matches. Disgusting.

Unbelievable.

Dog act

could have won that game

cd lamb dropped 2 (tough) catches on the last drive and that's the game.

Eagles Oline did a good job in the first half to give hurts time to extend plays. i don't think he would have got that time if Parsons was there.

oh well

The Cowboys might have won the game with an ounce of luck their way. Apparently CD Lamb dropped 5 catches all-up ... most were quite difficult though

Parsons would have helped no doubt but I thought your secondary was tight all game.

I also think Carter being ejected negates Parsons not being there.

Lamb would normally take that first catch, as hard as it was, he is a great receiver, the second one was tough.

Too soon...

Fair

Carter completely lost the head. Ridiculous thing to do.

Jalen Hurts running ability is immense. The difference between the 2 sides as he gained a lot of yards in the red zone

I couldn’t believe they didn’t spy Hurts in the last qtr on that third down.

Cris Collinsworth was calling on Prescott to run with the ball to break things up (or change things up) 1 carry for 3 yards was all we saw

Anyway, we get a game from Brazil tomorrow morning 10.00am (Chiefs/Chargers) ... I'm tipping a close one!
