NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

NFL is BAAAACK!!! Sunday’s are booked. Not getting off that couch till SNF is over. Don’t bother looking at pre-season for answers. It was used to test the depth and the dispensables. Come kickoff time, it is at a whole another level. Here at GS, like last year we will have fantasy football, inshallah. You don’t really have to be an expert to participate. Even a passing interest game will help.

Rules, shamelessly plagiarized from SID_NY’s post from last year:

So here is how we are going to play.

Since there are many games every week, each week you have to pick 3 games, no more than 3. Make your predictions for those three games in terms of winner team and the score.

Now,

  • If your predicted score ends up be the actual final score, you get 3 points
  • If your team wins not with your predicted score but the difference of points is still the same, you get 2 pts.
  • If the score differs but the your team still wins, you get 1 point.

So lets keep the ball rolling, it’ll not only keep our interest high but also give a chance to win the game here :slight_smile:

Note: The restriction of 3 games a week wont apply on playoffs. Rest of the rules apply throughout including super bowl.

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

my picks are as follows
Panthers vs Jaguars - 28-7
Seahawks vs Rams - 32-14
Eagles vs Falcons - 35-15

I think we should also add the following components to the scoring
Let us ask the group to predict AFC , NFC winners and Superbowl Champions.
Correct prediction on AFC , NFC would give 15 points and Superbowl Champions - 25 points
The prediction is to be done by October end.

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

Thanks for the invite, OYMWA . I only watch the Super Bowl. So my choices are uneducated guesses. I think the contest participants should be true fans of the game.

I will watch from the sidelines.

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

My picks are

Cowboys 21 Giants 20

Seahawks 28 Rams 10

Packers 31 Bears 17

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

Trust me, the odds here are better than those of the stock market. Do join in.

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

That is an excellent idea! What do others think?

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

i know Cowboys have your undivided attention so i would like to point out that packers are playing bears.

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

Steelers Panthers and Browns win 14 to 10

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

:smiley:

Corrected :blush:

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

I think we should discuss rosters this year before jumping to predict. Which team has got better this year or otherwise?

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

May I lodge a protest? The competition should have minimum standards. Why invite phoenixdesi, who broke all records for futility last year?

Make no mistake about it - this is a personal attack.

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

For NFC east, Eagles got better, Redskins got worse, Giants probably got better with another WR, Cowboys lost Demarco, but Sean Lee is back, so I would say they are about even.

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

My picks:

Dolphins over redskins : 21-10
Seahawks over rams: 34-14
Panthers over jags: 30-10

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

Paging @us1415, @SaeedinPakistan, coz Texans could have a phenomenal season. They have the Michael Jordan of football in JJ Watt. Please join in.

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

Sorry man. I dont do football. I am more interested in cricket.

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

I need to learn football asap. This blue collar thing doesn’t work if you don’t know your sports. Is there a crash course you can take to catch up on all this?

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

Football 101.

Best conversation starter: How about them Cowboys? Going all the way?

Re: NFL 2015 - Fantasy Kickoff.

I was in hibernation the past two seasons rubs eyes, streches & yawnssss
