Without giving too much away the show has entered the Nazi era. Only 2 eps in but it will be fascinating as to how they deal with that. Dark times but the show was always heading in that direction

@DeeSpencer@Go the Biff@layzie@Clintosaurus@titan_uranus@Gorgoroth@Dr. Gonzo@DemonDave@JV7@Dee Zephyr Schedule Week 1 Playoffs Sun 8.30am Seattle @ San Francisco Sun 12 15pm Chargers @ Jacksonville Mon 5.00am Miami @ Buffalo Mon 8.30am NY Giants @ Minnesota Mon 12.15pm Baltimore @ Cincinatti Tues 12.15pm Dallas @ Tampa Bay Chiefs & Eagles bye More later but the post season tipping comp works as follows (by the way, newcomers are most welcome) Just post up your scores or just the winners with a margin of victory e.g Miami 15 Buffalo 23 or Buffalo win by 8 (or 7 - 12) Week 1 - each win (home or away) is worth a point with a bonus point added (for each match) if your margin of victory correctly falls within one of the winning 3 brackets (1 - 6, 7 - 12 or 13+) Week 2 ... 2 points per win with 2 bonus points available for each of the 4 games Week 3 ... 3 points per win with 3 bonus points on offer for both games Super Bowl ... 5 points for the win with 5 bonus points on offer A second chance at glory after most of us had a disastrous regular season at tipping!

Don't worry, there were a total of 8 of us who scored 4 points or less. It was a weird regular season with so many teams falling away whilst others who were unlikely, shone Week to week, a number of the favoured road teams failed to deliver As for our tipping, DS & GtB showed us how to do it! So the points were there to attain (kinda, sorta)

@JV7 I see the Bills/Cinci game is not going to be resumed or replayed so unless anyone has any objection, a fair result might be half the 3 points to be awarded (1.5 points) That would take your season tally to 3.5 points, JV7, with 3 (or 4) points to play for in week 18. So, good luck!

@layzie@Dee Zephyr@Go the Biff@Clintosaurus @JV7@DeeSpencer@Dappa Dan@titan_uranus @Dr. Gonzo @Gorgoroth @DemonDave 3 points and a possible bonus point on offer this week ... a podium finish beckons! Up to 7 participants can win the bronze but like most weeks this season, it's not easy this week as well Leaderboard Tipping Comp 15 - DeeSpencer 10 - Go the Biff 6 - layzie 4 - Gorgoroth, titan_uranus, Clintosaurus, Macca 3 - Dr.Gonzo 2 - JV7* 0 - Others (including DZ) *JV7 awaiting the result of the Bills/Cinci match (3 points)

Now a dual winner along with Gorg & Clint Go the Biff has secured the Silver (either outright or shared) and most of the rest of us are playing for Bronze! (layzie can still win Silver if he is the sole winner in week 18) So we play for 3 points again next week with a bonus point applied, if applicable It should be noted that DS has secured 2 bonus points this season which has turned out to be quite valuable Thanks for playing everyone!

You and me both, Gorg ... post season often decent but in the regular season, I can't pick a road winner to save myself! The other interesting (and amusing) bit about this year's main comp is will the 2 that are still on zero get off the mark? 16 consecutive ducks is Jimmy Higgs-like! haha! As for who is going to do well in the playoffs, we probably should be having some conversations about it all. This is the time of the year where I've got stacks more time to devote to the NFL

There's always the post-season tipping comp!

The 4th season of Babylon Berlin has been released (about a month ago) ... haven't seen any of the 12 episodes as yet but by all accounts, a very strong season maintaining it's high standards

Bills Vegas Eagles

Interesting way of putting it, layz ... 'tipping career' I don't trust the Lions or Tampa. Bills for sure but I can't find one more, forget 2! I'm tempted to pick the Packers but Miami are a decent outfit. Eagles and Dallas is a toss of the coin Cinci should win but it's at New England/Belichick

Tough week (apart from the Bills)

Ha ha! Tenacious DZ in the house!

Entering the Flemington straight with 600m to travel, 3 participants have made their move and have shot away from the field. But 8 points are still up for grabs and a total of 3 bonus points for those who dare! And for those of us trailing the top 3, risks must now be taken considering that if there is only one successful tipster in any of the last 3 weeks, 3, 4 & 4 points can be attained. For the top 3, it's become a cat & mouse game! Leaderboard Tipping Comp 9 - DeeSpencer 7 - Go the Biff 6 - layzie 4 - Gorgoroth, titan_uranus, Clintosaurus, Macca 3 - Dr.Gonzo 2 - JV7 0 - TWSRN!

For the record, what might have been your 3rd pick, Gorg? (Eagles & KC were virtual morals)

Apparently the greatest comeback in NFL history!

(surely not the Eagles or KC) *Shudder

Well done to Croatia (who also made the final in 2018) They really do punch above their weight Argentina get through after a classic match against the Dutch Can Morocco continue their run against Portugal? They are every chance And then the biggie ... England vs France. Another classic match-up. I favour the French but only slightly

If we get back to our best we can beat any team anywhere. Bring 'em all on! We need to be challenged and we need to challenge others Relish the games against the best and that includes the Cats on their ground
