Andy's Season Long Prediction Competition


Andy

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Some of you may have known Gordon38 on our old mycolts.net community. Unfortunately, after we switched to having our forum and other features on the Colts.com, Gordon and many others' accounts were deleted. Many of those guys signed up here, but Gordon was not one of them.

The reason I'm talking about Gordon is because on the old site, he used to run a season long prediction game picking thingy. Now, I always loved playing in them. It was a very popular group (he created a group for the picks) with hundreds of members.

Now, I don't expect to completely replace Gordon, but I'd like to continue what he did, because this is very fun and some have even requested it.

So let's do it! Im willing to go 100% into this (I have a Word document and some other things created for this).

This is the part I will be adding... The overall winner at the end of the year (if we get enough players that is) will win a prize. I haven't decided what it is yet, but I'm thinking a full size helmet, or a customized autograph-able (not autographed) ball, or even a jersey. I'll decide that soon.

Another minor change. What he used to do is make his picks and then you would disagree or agree with it. It's easier to just state which picks you would want to make.

Rules

1. State your picks and make them clear.

2. We will only be picking games that are on Sunday and Monday (no thursday night or saturday night games).

3. If you would like to change your picks, say EDIT and then write for example, Chicago --> Green Bay, saying that you believe that Green Bay will beat Chicago, instead of Chicago beating Green Bay, which in this case was the original prediction. Make it clear or it will not count.

4. The deadline for the picks will be Saturday night at 11:59pm. Obviously if you're a couple minutes or even an hour or two over I'll count it, but nothing Sunday morning.

5. We need to get a sufficient amount of members for this to work, so Nadine or any of the mods, it would be amazing if you guys could maybe advertise this around the forum. I'll do it too!

Thanks a lot guys. Here are the games for this week:

BTW, If you'd like to join the group, just say that JOIN

If you don't, you will not be counted and placed into the group.

EDIT: I said that just as Nobody was making his picks. Nobody, you're in the group. Everyone else should still say JOIN.

Gramz and Gavin you're in, just remember everyone to just say JOIN.

It sounds very silly, but it makes the thing sooooo much easier.

Also, Im considering maybe having tri-weekly prizes (every 3 weeks).

EDIT: Thanks Gramz

    • I think he paid Johnathan Hankins about 10M per year(30/3) in his first free agency when he was remaking the whole defense.  In 2019 he signed Justin Houston for 24/2... and Devin Funchess for 13M...  In 2020 - Rivers... In 2021 - none In 2022 - Gilmore In 2023 - none
    • How the heck did I miss that?! Wow
    • It is fact. You do understand where the money to pay player salaries and such comes from right? I mean it’s right there in the CBA…   the league basically places the money in an escrow account every year directly from the league, which is a portion of the revenue set aside for player salaries from the leagues various sources(tv deals for example). It never touches the owners pockets first.  Jim Irsay could have only 10 cents in his account and it wouldn’t matter when it comes to player salaries.  yes, guaranteed monies and such have to be put in upfront but if you read the fine print, that money is basically reimbursed the to the team the year it’s paid out. So 2025 guarantees would be paid back to the team in 2025 from the player salaries fund.    and yes, I’ve linked it every year for the past 5-6 years. Ever since the beginning of the Ballard era, which seems to be when this notion of Irsay not having cash for this or that came up as a rationale for not signing big name FA. It’s not though when one actually looks up how that all works. 
    • Looking at OTC now.  Seems like we may have around 10-12M cap space left to go after players in FA.  Do the Colts sign I player or break it down to a few small signings.  Still seeing who is available and limited on time.  Still am high on WR Quez Watkins and seeing the Dolphins are also interested in him.  Watkins played under Shane and figured he would be one of his targets in FA.     Both SS, assuming Cross is the starter, but FS is main focus and probably in the draft.   Not sold one too many true FS from college and sure you seen prior post about how slow these CBs are and a move to FS probably best for their career in the NFL.  Especially Khyree Jackson who has a lot of the overall skill set of Cooper DeJean and might be a viable option later in the draft.
