NFL Pick Watch : Huddle Competition


RenoCarolina

Recommended Posts

Who was the poster that kept a running spreadsheet of Huddler picks?  Anyway, more power to him, he put a lot of work in!

But if anyone wants to go onto NFLpickwatch.com and make their picks every week post up here and I will update the OP with those playing along.

You can also pick playoff teams (spoiler; we beat the chiefs in the SB)

Once you get your picks made post your screen name on the site here.  I'd be willing to chip in a friendly wager ($20?) with a winner get all "Huddle Prognosticator" payout if any are interested.

Also an easy way to see how you stack up against the media.  As I recall there were some damn good pickers here.

I really enjoyed playing last season and miss UpstatePanther. I hope he comes back. As it happens I made picks on NFLPickwatch. My name is the same as here...FakePlasticTrees. I assume we would be measuring straight up picks rather than against the spread. Correct?

I think you can set up a league using ESPN. I have made picks there as an individual but never in a league. They do the scoring for you.

@FakePlasticTrees I still lurk. It's been a busy year and I've been doing most of my fandom on Twitter, but I can probably break out the spreadsheet. Will have to forego tonight's game because I won't have time to work it out before kickoff. Should be rolling by Friday morning though!

You could take note of picks made in this thread and put em in later.

Or posters here could all join pick watch, set up account, make picks and we let that site do all the work.

Actually I hope I suck, otherwise I'll be tempted to look up my old bookie.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
