Board 8 > Board 8's NFL Point Prediction League - Week 3

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules:

1. Each week, you will be predicting the score for two teams. These two teams do NOT have to be facing one another.
2. You cannot pick a team twice, until you've picked for all other teams. At which point you can predict them a second time but never a third time. A spreadsheet will be available to list available teams for you. There is an exception for week 14. If you've already picked for all teams except for 5 or 6 on a BYE during that week, you may repeat your teams a week early, but then cannot pick repeat teams again until week 18. (Or one in week 17 as the case may be)
3. If you miss a week, you will be automatically given the worst score of the week +7. So if the worst score in a week is a combined 22, you will be given 29 points.
4. The Top 12 pickers will move on to the playoffs.
5. Each week there will be a tiebreaker Triple Threat. You can predict the result of 0, 1, 2, or 3 of those games. You will then earn tiebreaker points based on how many you get right. For each you get right, you earn 10 points. For each you get wrong you lose 30 points. If you get every one you predict correct, your points will be doubled. This means if you go 1/1 you get 20 points. If you go 2/2 you get 40 points. And if you go 3/3 you get 60 points. But if you go 2/3 you lose 10 points. And if you go 1/2 you lose 20 points. And if you go 0/1 you lose 30 points. You do not have to pick any of them. Doing so, however, will earn you 0 points.
6. There will also be a final tiebreaker in week 18. Any further ties will be decided by the record against playoff teams (If you've picked them twice, those scores will be halved. So if you get +3 and +7, your score will be considered 5, not 10)
7. A Score Prediction must be posted before the game starts. Tiebreakers must be posted before those games start. The Thursday Night game will never be part of the tiebreaker so as to give everyone time to pick a tiebreaker.

Congrats to SwiftyDC for having the best week last week with 4 points! Good job!

No problem. I can fix that. Wasn't sure why you said 'change' in the last topic. I think your change came last, so you should have 21 points. And that means that the best pick last week was thekitchensink and theawesomestevr with 7 points! Good job to them!

It looks like on the spreadsheet you have me down as having picked the Packers Week 1. You scored me correctly points-wise so I'm guessing you just copied the wrong team on the spreadsheet, but the Panthers were the team I picked along with the Seahawks that week (Packers were my failed tiebreaker pick).

Also, not that it matters since I know what you mean, but mine is flip-flopped between teams picked and teams I have left labels.

Fixed on both accounts. I had you down with the right picks in the other spreadsheet. Just copy/pasted the wrong one for the picked spreadsheet. And honestly have no idea how that happened. Might have been before I alphabetized them because I figured alphabetical is easier.

Raiders - 24
Panthers - 14

Raiders
Falcons

Cardinals - 24
Dolphins - 17

Ravens - 27
Bengals - 21

Earlier deleted message was mine after absent-mindedly picking the Cowboys a second straight week.

Giants: 18

Will pick second game later (may pick Chargers depending on Herbert's status later)

I'm telling you, my tiebreaker score not gonna be pretty.

Let's try both sides of a single game this week...

Saints - 21

It first looked like I was going to do awful, but I will take the 10 point difference.

I should probably stop doing the triple threat, or at least limit myself to just one selection a week
