Hey NFL fans! The "Pick the Winners” game returns for its fourth season at this board. For those who have played before, you know how the drill goes. Newcomers: this is a fun and easy game to play. For each week of the regular season, all you have to do is pick which team you think will win each match-up and then place a point value on that game. For example, there are 16 games in Week 16, and it is your job to allocate points from the game you are most confident in (16 pts.) to the game you view as a toss-up (1 pt.). Therefore, points will be allotted in decreasing value from 16, 15, 14, 13...all the way down to 1. *Remember, you CAN'T place the same point value on more than one game.* At the end of each week, we will tally up the number of points each participant has earned based on correct predictions, and the person with the most overall points at that time will be crowned winner. Sound simple? If you have any questions, feel free to post them at this thread.

Week 16 games:

Atlanta vs. Tampa Bay
Kansas City vs. Minnesota
New England vs. N.Y. Jets
Cincinnati vs. St. Louis
N.Y. Giants vs. Dallas
Tennessee vs. Houston
Baltimore vs. Cleveland
New Orleans vs. Jacksonville
Washington vs. Chicago
Detroit vs. Carolina
Miami vs. Buffalo
San Diego vs. Pittsburgh
Arizona vs. Seattle
San Francisco vs. Philadelphia
Denver vs. Indianapolis
Green Bay vs. Oakland

*Deadline: Saturday, Dec. 20 (1:30 PM EST)*

My picks:

Seattle - 16 pts (I love Arizona as a state, but this team just way too sucky for a long time, for me to give any hope for this team)

Tampa Bay - 15 pts (last year Superbowl Champ...this year Super Chump ?...I still believe they can do better than they did this season)

Pittsburgh - 14 pts

Tennessee - 13 pts

Carolina - 12 pts

Philadelphia - 11 pts

St. Louis - 10 pts (with all the offense they put up en route to their first SuperBowl victory, this team has been dissapointing ever since)

Dallas - 9 pts (Dallas for playoffs...perhaps the Boys are finally back...or they are just lucky, maybe)

Green Bay - 8 pts (This is it...the Cheeseheads will be there come playoffs this season)

Baltimore - 7 pts

Minnesota - 6 pts (but the Minnesotans are more desperate to be there in the playoffs, after an early promising start but dissapointment ever since)

Denver - 5 pts (Denver in an upset...after all Indy has already clinched the playoff spot...it's a matter of who wants to win it more)

Chicago - 4 pts (Washington's season will be over after this...perhaps Spurrier should join the College Football again as the coach of Nebraska....Fun and Run, this time [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img])

New Orleans - 3 pts (With Tampa Bay desperate for a win, New orleans will be more desperate to hold their defense)

New England - 2 pts (How about an 11 game winning streak for a home playoffs advantadge ?)

Miami - 1 pt (Can't decide who will win..or who will choke this time)

dcismyfav

Wow...as simple as that, Green Bay wins, I win, Oakland wins...sf3000 wins...may the best team win....

Wildfire Girl

I'm hoping Green Bay wins, because if they do, and the total scored points is 42 or under, I win the football board at my cousin's work. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

I try to post here my same picks early as I do there, but alas, sometimes I don't get my board back 'til Sunday and I don't always remember who I voted for! [img]smilies/rotfl.gif[/img]

So I'm rooting for GB, no offense. [img]smilies/love.gif[/img]
