Huddle Pick'Em Szn 2 CHAMPIONSHIP WK


Bronn

Recommended Posts

Last week, @Khyber53 was our big winner. He got all games correct, and therefore the 10 possible points for the week. He was the only one to pick Tennessee.

1. @FakePlasticTrees, @Datawire, @Mr. Scot, and myself missed one game, and got 6 total points. Baltimore losing killed us all.

2. Somehow the bird is all alone in third, with 5 points awarded.

3. @bigdavis got 4 points.

4. @MHS831 scored 3 points, missing his highest two confidence games.

@Raleigh PF missed the week.

For this week's games, you can make a wager on both games of up to 10 points each based on how confident you are in the result. The hitch is that if you miss the correct pick for that game, you will lose that many points as well.

For example, let's say I wager 10 points on the Chiefs, and 6 points on the Packers:

If the Chiefs lose and the Packers win, I lose 4 points on the week.

If the Chiefs win and the Packers lose, I gain 4 points for the week.

If both teams I chose win, I gain 16 points for the week.

If both teams lose, I lose 16 points for the week.

 

This should really give people a chance to make a competitive jump if they play high risk. I'm only doing 10 points so that it doesn't dilute the accomplishments that people have already obtained during the regular season.

Tiebreakers will be as follows:
Early game (AFC) point total is tiebreaker 1.

Late game (NFC) point total is tiebreaker 2.

 

Good luck everyone!

Go big or go home, right?

Ten @ KC -- Betting 10 confidence points 53 points total

GB @ SF -- Betting  10 confidence points 48 points total

If you hit on these, you win the crown.  If not, the wall of shame.  I can't help but think Tenn could beat KC.  They already did this season.

Yep. Pretty much in last place already thanks to a missed week (and soooo many bad picks). So, go against the grain and bet big. Honestly, I do think Tennessee picks up another win. I think KC shot their wad last week with the major comeback and the Titans are built to play solid, steady football.

Green Bay, maybe... but it is all on Rodgers isn't it? Tough spot to be in.

fug it I am all in too. Let's live on the edge.

TEN @ KC - 10 confidence points, 45 pts total

GB @ SF -  10 confidence points, 37 pts total

Well, FPT's will need to copy my exact predictions like he did last week in order to retain the lead. In doing so, he runs the risk of losing the outright lead completely to someone else that can make some big gains if one (or both) of my picks are wrong. Or go out on his own and take that risk as well.

Bronn will need to have his math game on this weekend.

The reason I wait to pick has only to do with the tie breakers, which have bitten my rear numerous times this year. 

Did we even have one last week?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
