AE 2022 - NFL Prediction Comp

[Exe Gesis]

All are welcome to participate.

No prize-money involved, just bragging rights.

Closing date for submissions 23:59pm Thursday, September 9

Entrants to post their picks in one post in this thread, and can edit it as many times as they like between now and the deadline....except for GG.exe because he's still not allowed to edit his own posts.

At midnight, the mods will (hopefully remember to) lock this thread, and no further entries will be accepted, so that I have a day or two to enter all the entries into the spreadsheet, and then mods can unlock the thread again.

At the completion of the NFL season when all results are known, the final standings will be posted and winner announced.

Competition
-Predict the final regular season standings for each division in each conference (W-L not required).

-Predict...Most Valuable Player, Head Coach of the Year, Assistant Coach of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, Offensive Rookie of the Year, Defensive Rookie of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, Air Player of the Year, Ground Player of the Year, Deacon Jones Award (most sacks in the season), Offensive Line of the Year, and....afc and nfc champions, and super bowl champions

Points Structure
-Each correct division #1 = 1 pt
-Each correct division #2 = 2 pts
-Each correct division #3 = 2 pts
-Each correct division #4 = 1 pt
-Each correct 'award' winner = 3.5 pts

-Tiebreakers will be a count-back on most correct 2 pointers, most correct 1 pointers, most correct three and a half-pointers, then a coin toss.

So you get 1 point for tipping the winner, but 2 points for tipping who finishes 2nd and 3rd, am I understanding that right?

List of players eligible for comeback player of the year:

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Trey Lance is eligible and 100-1? * me, guess im having a bet on that then aren't i

 

[Exe Gesis]

Comeback player award has so many possible options. Will be hard to bet on.
So many QBs, they'd all have to be favorable to winning it given the QB love the NFL has. A couple decent RB choices. A number of WR ones.

There are so many at juicy odds I like. Etienne might be a superstar by the end of this season (CMC 2.0) and the $26 will look stupid. Probably another Ill have a bet on.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Jeffrey Simmons $71 for DPOY.

Hes already a monster, and this season hes playing for a contract. I expect big things.

 

[thewizardmelon]

yes

Alright well of course I’m in. But why is picking the winner less rewarded than the scrubs in the middle? Haha

me and gambling don't mix well, always miss out by a hair or two.
but maybe this season, chasing the big multi payout i have a bad addiction to.

You can bet as little as 1c per bet mate, doesn't have to cost you a fortune, just deposit $5 and go silly til your hearts content.

Panthers #1 pick, ohhhh yes please

 

[thewizardmelon]

Panthers #1 pick, ohhhh yes please

It’s easily the hardest schedule.

They’ve got the NFC West AND the AFC North (like we did last year) and there is not more than 2 weeks in a row (Weeks 1+2) without a better than average team. Tough sledding even if baker is good and CMC is great.

Suits me fine. If we dont make the playoffs (highly likely) I want a top 3 pick.

Where do you want to spend it? Also is there another thread we can take this to not clog the predictions thread?
