NFL Competition

[dvalley69]

Might as well complete the pack as not used Ravens either!

Fair play to Tricky Trevor watching all the games. I try and watch the NFL youtube highlights, but usually get a bit sick of it after a fair few.

[dvalley69]

Looking forward to the Seahawks game as they are on a good run & pushing for the playoffs so it should be a good test.

It's not that difficult when you’re retired.3 overnight games that I watch the following AM in FF, without knowing the score. The Sunday 6pm game in FF from about 7.30pm and the 9.25pm game live.
If I know the outcome all the excitement of these amazing finishes has gone for me.

[MrTopTier]

Ravens please.

Cheers Poulton.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

6 picks for the Ravens so far this week!

Watch the Giants turn up and play like Belichick's prime NE Patriots now

[Vegas Claret]

Bills v Lions, great fun. No spoilers

[Poulton-le-Claret]

GW 15 Results.

Well the Ravens won and didn't embarrass themselves plus a whole load of us! Lions v Bills has to be game of the week though, with Lions marking their first loss since September! Also, shout-out to the Packers who are looking like a very decent team, not sure they have it in them to beat the teams at the very top, but they are certainly doing well this year.

Table stands as follows:

One more GW to go after this, but I will also do us a separate playoffs selection game, if the demand is there

Oh definitely poulton! And if I don't win the regular season I'll be shouting "this is the real quiz!"

[Cowick Claret]

Week 16 - Packers
Week 17 - Chargers

Thanks Poulton, have a good Christmas

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Oh definitely poulton! And if I don't win the regular season I'll be shouting "this is the real quiz!"

Haha as will I! Either that or I'll just award myself extra points and hope no one notices I've gone from near the bottom to first place overnight

[Belial]

Wk 16 Packers
Wk 17 Bills

Cheers Poulton, hope you and yours enjoy the festive period

GW 16 Results.

[Tricky Trevor]

Almost had an orgasm. Thought I’d doubled up with Chiefs and Commanders. Then I remembered Commanders is week 17.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

I hope no one stayed up to watch the Bears v Seahawks game yesterday. I just saw the score and it looks like it may be a contender for the worst game of the season!

[willsclarets]

My performance has dropped off a cliff in December. Need the bucs to come through tomorrow or I'm 0-3 last 3 games

[Vegas Claret]

Broncos v Bengals, no spoilers - watch the highlights

[Tricky Trevor]

Broncos v Bengals, no spoilers - watch the highlights

Got up to watch it this am and my recording ended just after the late TD and before re-start.
I’ll catch it later.

[dvalley69]

Lots to play for in the final round of games - https://www.bbc.com/sport/american-foot ... vgmg388wmo

[Poulton-le-Claret]

GW18

Hi everyone, hoping you all had a lovely break over Christmas. It's the final round of games for the regular season. All to play for at the top of our table, so all my best to you with your picks and thanks for playing along! Credit to timshorts and (I think it was) Dvalley for mentioning starting this thread, an idea which I ripped off!

I will do us a post-season game as well, but I'll think of something a little different.

Just to add, I did say I would put some money in the winners chosen charity. If we have joint winners, then I'll count all at the top as winners, but I will ask Mrs P-L-C to draw a name out of the hat to nominate a charity for us all

[claretonthecoast1882]

Indianapolis Colts to beat Jacksonville Jaguars

[Cowick Claret]

I'll go with the Chiefs please.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Bumping this up as most have probably forgotten to submit a pick amongst all the excitement yesterday

[MrTopTier]

Washington for me, saved all the big guns for the play offs!!

Cheers Poulton for running this.

[dvalley69]

Chargers for me, Poulton.

Thanks again for all the great work put in and glad you developed my initial thread idea; it's been a really fun comp to do and pushed me to follow the season more closely, and what a season it's been! Just need TimShorts to slip up now!

[Belial]

Chargers for me please - and thanks again for this, it's been fun

[willsclarets]

Chargers for me please!

Thanks for organising it all, really enjoyed it

[Vegas Claret]

SNF, impressive

[dvalley69]

Great last day and some mouthwatering clashes in the playoffs. I for one can't wait.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

GW 18 and Final Results.

Hi all, just posting up our final scores for the tournament! Since Timshorts fell at the final hurdle with the Rams, we have a 3-way tie at the top! So congratulations to TS, DV and Belial! You are all winners. Myself and TT are joint winners of the wooden spoon, so we must try and do better next season.

As promised, I am going to put £20 in the charity of the winner and since it was a 3-way tie, I have asked the impartial Mrs P-L-C to draw one of our winners out of the hat to select a charity (although I will count you all as joint winners).

She has selected - DValley69

DV - If you can please nominate a charity on the thread below, I will put £20 in for them this week and no pressure on anyone else, but I am sure any and all contributions from other players will be most welcome.

Table finishes as follows:

Points - Player
14 - TimShorts
14 - Dvalley69
14 - Belial
13 - Cowick claret
13 - claretonthecoast1882
12 - WillsClarets
12 - MrTopTier
11 - Poulton-le-claret
11 - Tricky Trevor

As mentioned further up the thread, I am going to do us a little post-season game for fun where we all start from scratch. It will be different to just selecting teams, as that becomes a bit difficult with the knockout element of post-season games, but any and all are welcome to play along. That also goes for people who didn't play along with the last game

[claretonthecoast1882]

Nice one poulton.

Still a stupid game

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Nice one poulton.

Still a stupid game

It doesn't bode well for me if you think that and still beat me!

[claretonthecoast1882]

It doesn't bode well for me if you think that and still beat me!

I got more right in this than proper football, god knows how

[dvalley69]

Awesome Poulton.

I don't live locally anymore, or in the country for that matter, but I'm always touched by seeing the players' visit on Club videos and by people's comments on here so I'd love that £20 to go to the Pendleside Hospice, please.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Post-Season Game - Wild Card Round

Hello all, I thought a slightly different format for the post-season game might interest at least some of you. Instead of selecting teams, I am planning to post 3 different questions for each GW and you will get a point for each correct answer you provide. The person at the end, following the Superbowl, with the most points will be our winner. I will also stick another £20 in for the winners chosen charity.

This week's questions are:

A - Which team will score the most points in this gameweek?
B - Which team will score the most Field Goals this gameweek? (Just to be clear, not including conversion’s made after a touchdown).
C - Who will win between Packers @ Eagles?


This week's games are (based on UK time):

Chargers @ Texans (Saturday PM)
Steelers @ Ravens (Sunday AM)
Broncos @ Bills (Sunday PM)
Packers @ Eagles (Sunday PM)
Commanders @ Bucs (Monday AM)
Vikings @ Rams (Tuesday AM).

[Poulton-le-Claret]
