All are welcome to participate.

No prize-money involved, just bragging rights.

Closing date for submissions 23:59pm Thursday night before the opening week 1 game

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), the afc and the nfc champions, and the super bowl champions, and super bowl mvp

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.

Why? McDermott is massive upgrade on Frazier.
I never like a HC playcalling. It's a tough enough gig being a DC/OC as it is and taking it on whilst being HC definitely is a tough job. I actually like Frazier, I was sad for him when he got moved on from Vikes.

Few big misses in the past but of recent times it's been fairly successful... McVay, Reid, Shanahan, Payton, Peterson, LaFleur etc

Higher percentage of the misses generally seem to happen with defensive head coaches though to be fair to your perspective.

Also given no Saints player wins an award or the Saints dont make Super Bowl....but who are we to judge the current champ?

Saints could have an 11 win season imo, but they'll do that in spite of Dennis Allen. They would be a cert to win the division if they had a better coach, Allen is the only thing holding them back and giving them a decent chance of underachieving.

That division is still or more than ever up for grabs
