Win a Dealer Button - NFL Picks Contest (Week 16) (1 Viewer)

[brains613]

H/T - @k9dr

Pick the winners of the week 16 NFL games - no point spread. Whoever picks the most winners will win the dealer button of his or her choice from those pictured. Tiebreaker will be whoever is closest to the total points scored in the Monday night game. And because it's Christmas, I will choose another player to receive a random button from my collection.

Enter your picks in this thread using the spoiler tags if you want your picks to remain secret until kickoff.

Entry/edit deadline is before kickoff of the Thursday night game 8:25 PM EST.

Contest is open to all PCF members with a minimum of 25 posts.


Games -

And the buttons - Winner should choose between numbers 1-8, buttons laid out like this:

1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8

You know you want number eight... It's fine.

Entries now closed, of course.

@Poker Zombie - What do I have to do to get a breakdown of the picks?

 

[brains613]

10 entries - Just realized that I never made my picks. Oops.

2/10 picked SD in the TNF game.

8/10 picked OAK.

 

[Poker Zombie]

I'll get the spreadsheet up in a bit. Working a double shift for the holiday, so once things settle down, I'll be on PCF.

@Forest@Farmington



Thats for making your picks in some mystery f*cked up order. You picked Carolinia to win the Patriots/Jets game. Cam Newton is good, but he's not that good.

Link to picks

Highlights:

• Forest can really hose a spreadsheet, so his picks won't be reflected in this breakdown in the cases where he picked a team to win that isn't playing in the game.
• Going with the flow - Godzilla only has one underdog (Jacksonville), the fewer that anyone else.
• Unanimous picks - everyone picked Pittsburgh to beat Baltimore, KC over Cleveland, and Seattle to trounce the Rams.
• Short Spread - k9dr picks the highest scoring game, at 57 points, two players (kirchausen and stocky) pick a lower scoring game of 41 total points.
• Long Shots - Kirchausen is the only player pulling for the Jets to upset the Patriots, and Stocky is the only punter for on the Falcons over the Panthers. See what I did there - I used "punter" because I understand British/Aussie English that way.

 

[brains613]

"punter"... Nice one.

He also used city names for most teams, except "JETS"... And has some mystery city called "But" in there... Must have started early on the egg nog...

 

[Forest@Farmington]

Damn. I was going off the Yahoo page. Yeah eggnog and typing on a iPad didn't work real well. Good luck to all.

Was not a mystery order. Picked according to Yahoo Sports on the iPhone typing on the iPad. Don't do that.

• Unanimous picks - everyone picked Pittsburgh to beat Baltimore, KC over Cleveland, and Seattle to trounce the Rams.

Either a lot of faith in the way they are playing or 10 people who have never paid attention to how the Rams kick the shit out of, or at least make a game of it against, Seattle no matter how good the Hawks have been... But yeah, they are winning this week with out a doubt.

 

[stocky]

Stocky is the only punter for on the Falcons over the Panthers.

Boo yah

Nicely done.

 

[brains613]

Trying to get motivated to do some tabulations. Where do we stand?

 

[stocky]

Nicely done.

Not that the rest of my picks were any good

 

[brains613]

That's ok. I know they do football a bit differently down under. You have a valid excuse.

Yes when we play football the ball actually touches the foot.

You guys should change the games name to "hand throw run ball"

 

[brains613]

The sport I follow almost exclusively is English football. Having watched both, I see many parallels. Number of players, names of positions, things like that. But goodness, they are such different games now that it seems really stupid that they share a name. I would agree that American football should have a different name, but there's not a chance in hell that the dominant sport in the country, BY FAR, is changing nomenclature for the tiny minority who lean away from American jingoism...

 

[brains613]

I will double check these in the morning, but it looks like, going into SNF, we have a two way tie with ten correct picks each. Kirchausen and Forest. They picked opposing teams for both remaining games.

Chiptalker has eight wins, and a small chance of catching up, I think.

But everybody else is sakujo.
