Are award winners still 0.5 points?

Are award winners still 0.5 points?

They're more additional fractions of points one can earn. But the meat and bones of the comp is still the actual team division standings. Don't want to weight the points too much to the award winners.

Jack del Rio ****ing lol

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

The big questions for me:

1. What order do the Bills, Dolphins, Jets finish?

2. Who's better, Cincinnati or Baltimore?

3. Who wins the AFC South, Colts, Jags or Texans?

4. Who finishes second in the AFC West, Chiefs or Raiders? And can the Chargers jump one of those teams?

5. Do the Redskins or Giants finish last in the NFC East?

6. Who is worse, Chicago or Detroit?

7. Who is worse, New Orleans or Atlanta?

8. Who finishes last in the NFC West, Rams or 49ers?

Jack del Rio ******* lol

If the Raiders win the AFC West as I have predicted, and Khalil Mack continues his rise as the best young pass rusher in the league, whilst Carr and Cooper take a step in their improvement, anywhere from 10-12 wins is possible. And, in that scenario, Del Rio is a prime candidate for coach of the year.

That's a lot of "ifs" my friend

Need a lot of 'ifs' to go right for every single winner in sport.

12 wins? Christ

Ok but I see where you're coming from I guess

Apparently not for the Broncos tho.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Apparently not for the Broncos tho.

No we already had that last year apparently, where every single fumble we recovered was due to luck, but for every other team it was due to defensive prowess. Got nothing to do with having a top 5 all-time D!

I personally think they'll get 10 wins this year. But in that scenario, 12 wins isn't such a ridiculous proposition. It's not as if their schedule is so unrealistic that there are a number of penciled in losses right off the bat.

Im giving them 9 or 10 depending on the week 17 matchup with denver. Winner takes the division

11 maybe but it's starting to push it
