NY Giants vs San Francisco --> Giants (any doubts?? WHo is the QB for SF??) Philadelphia vs Washington --> Redskins (this pick might WIn me the weekly pool. Pool
was due Friday. I know all the guys picked Eagles except for 2)

Atlanta vs Miami ------------------------> Dolphins (Go Ricky)
San Diego vs New York Jets -----------> Chargers (Can u stop Tomlinson?)
Houston vs Jacksonville ---------------> Jaguars (Be happy with 1 win, Big horns!!)
Chicago vs New Orleans ---------------> Saints (This is risky. But all saints need to do is control the Bears run-d.
NY Giants vs San Francisco -----------> NYG (A must win for Big Blues).
Philadelphia vs Washington ------------> Redskins (2 reasons: 1. Redskins Vengeance from last game. 2. T.O. being suspended/injured will have some effect.)

Hey guys for playoff prediction,there should be person who has already predicated minimum games?

????????????????????????????????????

I like both Ax's and Ubiquitos' idea.
Just don't make it too complicated, but I think I can go with both of their ideas.
Now let's hear from the rest of the mix to decide what exactly to do.
Pick either Ax or Ubiquitos idea and we will stick to it.

Buffalo vs Cincinnati ==========> Bengals
San Diego vs Kansas City =======> Chargers (Good team, bad schedule. Best running defense should stop LJ).
Tennessee vs Miami ==========> Dolphins
Atlanta vs Tampa Bay =========> Bucs (Cadillac tuned now?)
Dallas vs Carolina ============> Panthers (my superbowl pick)
Philadelphia vs Arizona ========> Cards
Indianapolis vs Seattle ========> Seahawks (Superbowl matchup?? If Panthers don't make it. Indy should be resting now.)
Pittsburgh vs Cleveland ========> Steelers
San Fran vs St. Louis ==========> Rams
Detroit vs New Orleans =========> Saints
NY Giants vs Washington ========> Giants
Jacksonville vs Houston ========> Jags
Chicago vs Green Bay =========> Bears
Minnesota vs Baltimore =========> Ravens (Curise anybody?)
New England vs NY Jets =========> Pats (Bubai Chrebet!!)
Denver vs Oakland ===========> Broncos

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Hey Guys... I like the idea of the playoff with the top 8 in the season. NOT based on percentage, but based on the amount of games you predicted for. I like Ubi's idea. We all pre-select the division and then go from there. I want to say that the way he divided the group seems fair enough....Anyways, that was my thought on the idea of the playoff....Now here is my pick for week 16....

Buffalo vs Cincinnati ==========> Cincinnati
San Diego vs Kansas City =======> Kansas City
Tennessee vs Miami ==========> Miami
Atlanta vs Tampa Bay =========> Tampa Bay
Dallas vs Carolina ============> Carolina
Philadelphia vs Arizona ========> Philadelphia
Indianapolis vs Seattle ========> Indianapolis
Pittsburgh vs Cleveland ========> Pittsburgh

Jacksonville vs Houston ========> Jacksonville
Chicago vs Green Bay =========> Chigago
Minnesota vs Baltimore =========> Minnesota
New England vs NY Jets =========> New England
Denver vs Oakland=============> Denver

Buffalo vs Cincinnati ==========> Bengals
San Diego vs Kansas City =======> Chargers
Tennessee vs Miami ==========> Dolphins
Atlanta vs Tampa Bay =========> Bucaneers

San Fran vs St. Louis ==========> Rams
Detroit vs New Orleans =========> Saints
NY Giants vs Washington ========> Redskins
Jacksonville vs Houston ========> Jaguars
Denver vs Oakland ===========> Broncos
Chicago vs Green Bay =========> Bears
Minnesota vs Baltimore =========> Vikings
New England vs NY Jets =========> Patriots

This late in friday night, I hope i made the right choices.

Gunning for the 100% in the league
IndisGuise;

Red Sox Pats, Sanjays and Dipti, you guys/gals only picked 13 out of the 16 games. Any reason for it???????

Here we go Pats,

Buffalo vs Cincinnati ===> BEngals (Playing for homefield)
San Diego vs Kansas City > Chargers (Playoff Hope)
Tennessee vs Miami ===>Fins (4 in a row)
Atlanta vs Tampa Bay ==> Buccs (time for some redemption)
Dallas vs Carolina ====> Panthers (SB hopefuls)
Philadelphia vs Arizona => Eagles (no Wagner no offense)
Indianapolis vs Seattle==> Seahawks (More to play for)
Pittsburgh vs Cleveland==> Steelers (ITs the steelers baby)
San Fran vs St. Louis ===> Rams (Home game)
Detroit vs New Orleans==> Lions (Lions eat the Saints)
NY Giants vs Washington=> Giants (Remember last time)
Jacksonville vs Houston ==> Jaguars (Houston is getting better)
Chicago vs Green Bay ===> Bears (won't mind if Favre gets the W)
Minnesota vs Baltimore ==> Vikes (more to play for)
New England vs NY Jets==> Patriots ( any doubt?)
Denver vs Oakland=====> Broncos (Playing for Homefield)

For the Playoffs,

We should pick the scores alongside the favorites to win.

Say in playoffs, Steelers Vs Patriots: The two guys playing against each other will both prolly pick Patriots. then who is the winner? So if we pick the scores and make a rule that the closest guess to the actual scores wins the game then we will have no problem. If the two guys pick different teams there is no problem at all. If both picks the same teams (even if the team they picked loses) then still the total score (combined scores of two teams) closest to the nearest guess shall win the tiebreaker.

What do you guys think?

lets go pats

My picks for this week.............

Buffalo vs Cincinnati ==========> Cincinnati ( palmer rocks)
San Diego vs Kansas City =======> Chargers( I believe LD is better than LJ)
Tennessee vs Miami ==========> Miami ( Saban can handle that very well)
Atlanta vs Tampa Bay =========> Tampa Bay ( Chris Simms is a longhorn)
Dallas vs Carolina ============> Dallas( desperate team wins)
Philadelphia vs Arizona ========> Philadelphia ( anyone cares???)
Indianapolis vs Seattle ========> seahawks( too bad...chargers did a week ahead)
Pittsburgh vs Cleveland ========> Pittsburgh ( they need it)
San Fran vs St. Louis ==========> St. Louis (home field advantage)
Detroit vs New Orleans =========> New Orleans ( worst game of the week)
NY Giants vs Washington ========> NY Giants ( giants....help boyz)
Jacksonville vs Houston ========> Jacksonville (for reggie's sake..don win this one)
Chicago vs Green Bay =========> Chigago ( HTJ-hang your jersey)
Minnesota vs Baltimore =========> Baltimore( Ravenous)
New England vs NY Jets =========> New England ( better team)
Denver vs Oakland=============> Denver ( right rivalry!!!wrong time)

iregarding the playoffs.......if u guys make the criteria as .no. of wins....then i think i can't make in the list....though interested to compete...but as proud bro said texan, bill can't play in playoffs ...in that case..i'll settle with first round draft pick next yr :-)
...prediction with score would definately avoid confusion though...

Happy holidays to u all.....enjoy the games

So far predicting winner along with points is getting highest votes.
But isn't that unfair to players ranked higher?? I mean all the 17 weeks effort they put to gives no advantage to them, other than getting to play the playoffs.

One solution, Let's have 13 teams compete.The top 3 teams (according to total wins) get bye the first week. This is what it looks like (according to latest standings)

WEEK 1 of Playoff (WildCard Playoff in NFL)
group A. Hangu gets bye
group B. DWI gets bye
group C. Turbine gets bye
group D. Proudnepali vs redsox_pats
group E. Unknown vs Hukka_Nepali
group F. Ubiquitos vs slash
group G. Ax vs Ingonito_kanchi
group H. Redstone vs Sangam

Week 2 of Playoff (Divisional Playoff)
Winner of group A. vs winner of group H. > Group I
Winner of group B. vs winner of group G. > Group II
Winner of group C. vs winner of group F. > Group III
Winner of group D. vs winner of group E. > Group IV

week 3 of Playoff (Conference Final)
Winner of group I vs winner of Group IV

Week 4 of Playoff (Superbowl)
Two final winners out of week 3. SUPEBOWL.

Rules:

1. Each team has to predict both winning team and total points (eg Chicago over Tampa Bay 17-7).
2. The player who predicts the points in any group last, should have different points prediction than who predicts first in atleast one matchup. This avoids any kind of tie scenario.


ARE WE ON BOARD NOW?
The top 3 players getting bye in the first week is where the regular season win gives them the advantage and makes it all worthwhile.

Hey DWI....the tie sheet looks really fair to me...i can compete in that ;-)....
sounds reasonable to all i guess..

However i have one question.....like u said.

Each team has to predict both winning team and total points (eg Chicago over Tampa Bay 17-7).

so if i predict chi over TB 13-3 .......the winning margin is still the same (10)....

In this case above if the actual score is 17-3 ( chi over TB) , then whu's the winner since the winning margin's same, both of them predicted atleast one score correctly.....

i guess i made my point clear

My picks...

Buffalo vs Cincinnati ==========> Cincy
San Diego vs Kansas City =======> Chargers
Tennessee vs Miami ==========> Dolphins
Atlanta vs Tampa Bay =========> Buccs
Dallas vs Carolina ============> Panthers
Philadelphia vs Arizona ========> Cards
Indianapolis vs Seattle ========> Seahawks
Pittsburgh vs Cleveland ========> Steelers
San Fran vs St. Louis ==========> 49ers
Detroit vs New Orleans =========> Lions
NY Giants vs Washington ========> Giants
Jacksonville vs Houston ========> Jags
Chicago vs Green Bay =========> Bears
Minnesota vs Baltimore =========> Minny
New England vs NY Jets =========> Pats
Denver vs Oakland ===========> Broncos

Buffalo vs Cincinnati ==========> Cincy

Good point Kanchi.
I guess as we get closer to the Playoffs the rule will get finalized more.

This is what I suggest,
For point prediction, the team with lowest differential will be the winner.
where, Differential = (actual winning point - predicted winning point) + (actual loosing point - predicted loosing point).

With you example, Say the actual score was 17-3.
You predicted 17-7
Ax predicted 13-3
Then Your Differential = (17-17) + (7-3) = 4
and Ax's Differential = (17-13) + (3-3) = 4

This is where your question lies. I looked at every viable options (including declaring such condition a tie), the best solution I could come up with is the team who is closure to the winning point (in our case YOU as you correctly predicted 17 points) WINS in case of tie. Instead of increasing the categories to predict and making it more complicated, let's just stick with these rules then:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Each team has to predict both winning team and total points (eg Chicago over Tampa Bay 17-7).
2. The player who predicts the points in any group last, should have different points prediction than who predicts first in atleast one matchup.
3. For points category, the team with lowest Differential wins the match-up. See above for definition of Differential.
4. In case of Differential tie, the team with closest prediction to the winning points wins the match-up.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it getting too confusing? Let us know if you guys have any other ideas. Let's not make it any more complicated. I'd rather choose AX's idea if we make it more complicated.

Two key points

1. You just need to predict winning team and total points (eg Chicago over Tam Bay, 17-7)
2. We will calculate the winner of each match-up and if you want to dig in, you can refer to the rules.
3. A new thread will be started as this thread is closing in, once the playoff starts.

DWI, I like the proud bro idea... we should tally the score with final score combined. IT's easier and won't get confusion... pick the team and combined score.... 13 players playoff seems reasonable... yo hukka wots going with you, you don't want to get kick out from the league, do you??? make sure you participate next week.... fantasy nba ma hareko rees rey kya ;)

Let's say game is between Chicago and Tamba Bay and the final score is 17-7
Player 1 - Chicago over Tmapa Bay 17-6
Player 2 - Chicago over Tampa Bay 19-6
Player 3 - Chicago over Tampa Bay 24-0

The winner is Player 3 followed by Player 1 and Player 2... I don't know if that make sense to others :s

here's the week 16 results....

welcome dipti and sanjays.... indi, you got one more week to ace your prediction. good luck..... reddu, wots going on brother??? but don't worry you got a new fren name dipti :=) you are competing against her for last place :D:D

congratz to slash bro for great win..... it seems all were in festive mood... the win avg have down alot... i will take 2nd finish any week :) DWI still leads the league...
