2024/2025 Weekly Pick'em Thread


Recommended Posts

The 2023/2024 Weekly Pick'em Thread became a popular thread last season. I will get this started now so people can comment on it or want to participate in it

 

Rules remain the same:

Posters have to get their picks in every week before all games are played, if you fail to pick a game than it goes down as a loss. For example, if someone misses a full week, that will give them an 0-16 record for the week. If they miss picking just 1 game, it just goes down as 1 loss.

 

Last Seasons Standings - 272 total games, 10 people participated:

1. @2006Coltsbestever173-99

1. @Moe173-99

2. @chad72171-101

5. @RollerColt157-115

5. @coltsva157-115

6. @Solid84146-94 (missed 1st 2 weeks = 0-32)

 

As you can see, it was very competitive and only 6 games separated posters 1-7.

 

Gold Medals = @2006Coltsbesteverand @MoeNumber One Gold GIF.

 

Silver Medal = @chad72Silver Medal 3D GIF.

 

Bronze Medals = @Chrisaaron1023and @EasyESummer Olympics GIF.

 

I am looking forward to defending my Gold as I am sure Moe is too. Chad was all by himself with the Silver. Chris and Easy earned Bronze. Feel free to comment, looking forward to seeing @Moeas we fought to a draw over 18 weeks grueling weeks homer simpson episode 3 GIF- hey Moe, Homer is coming this fall to a theater near you Mike Tyson Boxing GIF by SHOWTIME Sports.

@Solid84, one thing I have always respected about you is, you speak your mind and love to compete. You don't back down, even when I debated on other things. Knowing you, you think you will win this year and I love it. Moe was on fire late and pulled a Draw on me, Chad scared the freakin Hell out of me. It was like battling him for 12 rounds and escaping with a split decision win lmao . Fun stuff!

Your winning % was nearly 61%, Moe's and Mine were 63.6%. That is pretty close. You missed the 1st 2 weeks, so it screwed you.

Thanks for the shout out! 

You were picking better than me most weeks, just had unfortunate luck once or twice, I definitely earned that last spot. My average was pretty bad week after week.

Why not. Someone’s gotta keep up the last place. 

You and @Chrisaaron1023have been the main stays in here regarding this. The 1st year we did this (2021), I only beat you by 1 game. That was my other Split Decision win. You were outstanding that season. You in 2021, and last season in 2023 between Chad and Moe gave me all I could handle. In 2022, you and Chris fell off a bit but last season Chris was killing it towards the end. I was just hanging on for dear life lmao .

 

I feel like a fighter that is something like 20-0-1, 2 close Split decisions wins = You in 2021 and Chad = 2023, and 1 draw which was to Moe in 2023. Fortunately, still undefeated but all it takes is having 2 or 3 bad weeks doing this and it can mess up your whole season.

I know Chad hinted around he may not be in it this upcoming season after last season ended. It is kind of tiring having to make sure you get your picks in weekly, switching picks too because of strategy, etc.. It would be a shame if Chad isn't in it because he is one of my most feared people to predict against. Had he not switched a pick or 2 at the end, he could have won this. 

 

Let me say this, this is all in fun, I don't think I am better than anyone, I am just having fun with this because it is, well fun. Do I want to win, hell yes lmao , but it is just a bragging rights thing. No money involved, something to get our minds off the Colts playing bad, get your mind off the Trolls is the way I look at it. Hey, if someone beats me, you should feel great about it, talk smack it is your time, you deserve it because predicting isn't easy :thmup:

Absolutely!! This makes the season so much more fun. 😊

 

I wanna win! But more importantly, it's all about beating my score last year 🤣

Yeah, same here. My guess is we will have at least 6 or 7 people do it. You, RollerColt, Solid84, Moe so far. I like to at least have 5. :thmup:

I would like to see more than a handful  regular participants but just the local forum prognosticators is nice and cozy too.

 

I remember as a kid I often entered a National Beat the Experts college football contest and won a couple T Shirts and once a $100 cash prize. 

I knew my college football in those days and watched every pro, college, and Bowl games I could.. Sometimes had multiple tv's going for bowl games that were broadcast at the same time. :funny:

I haven't seen him either in a while. I hope.

Once the season starts, we might see him.

 

I can see you picking against the Vikings in every game. I'm attending the season opener, Vikes @ Giants. That may be the only game in which you may pick the Vikings. 😉

That should be a good game. On paper I like the Vikings. You should go to that game. I don't dislike the Vikings because they let this guy go Captain Kirk Sigh GIF by Star Treklol. Just not sold on the rookie yet. My father was a huge a Vikings fan so I will always like them. I would love to get his thoughts about the new QB and Kirk.

He may not have liked either QB.

 

Yes, I'm going.

I like the Vikings more just for letting him go :funny:

 

But, I didn't like they drafted QB out of need, and that stupid way they moved up from #11 to #10, when Jets weren't drafting a QB anyway (and anyone else who wanted #10 spot would've given Jets more than what Vikings gave up anyway)...

 

That baffling, awfully stupid trade and drafting out of need is still better than running back with Kirk giving him 45 millions and more regularly for more years. Insanity is doing the same thing again and again, expecting different results. 

 

Baby Steps towards Super Bowl, I guess, lol..

Kirk is like the dogs barking aggressively and intimidatingly when they're behind the fence/bars/gate... Once the gate opens, they go silent (can't find that GIF here).

 

Only time Kirk-o Chains talk about Super Bowl is in off-season when pocketing Big Money, the moment the regular season starts - just like the dogs - Kirk will start talking about how winning in Football is a  team game!

So are you in this year to take the champ on sylvester stallone fight GIF by Rocky:thmup:, Moe is stepping up after his lucky draw (just kidding Moe I love you) sexy homer simpson GIF- I am really going to be focused now, Chad and Moe both damn near beat me. Chad is great he knows how to switch and is smart, Moe came out of nowhere and shocked me. I am ready for both. Sadly, I doubt Chad will participate; I just say that because he had 1 post where he said he may not. @Moe, Homer is getting ready.

Yeah, it’s a no for me for participation. Good luck!!! :) 

You’ll still be around this fall to chat about games in general though, right? You and I often are the only ones in the NFL General chat for those night games :D it gets lonely when you’re gone lol.

That's cool, I know it's time consuming because if you miss picking any games it screws your record up. You were really impressive last year so I am kind of disappointed you won't participate but I understand. 

 

Hopefully your vacation went good and your daughter is doing well :thmup:. It's always great to get away. 

 

You and @Moemade this fun last year. That last week was scary but in a fun way.

    • Ignoring anything to do with accuracy, level of play, etc., just based on his injury history through 8 games, it's highly unlikely he will be our QB in a few years.  It's a catch 22 with him.  If you don't utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to win with him.  If you do utilize his legs, it will be very difficult to keep him on the field.  I've come to the conclusion that his size is not necessarily a benefit.  The collisions are harder.  He goes to the ground harder.  You don't see some of the gentle drops and rolls you see with Lamar Jackson.     The fact that he's also tied to a front office that might be counting their days doesn't help either.  
    • Id say avoid drafting or taking players from your team that you’re a fan of. I’m an avid fantasy guy and also a sports bettor. I literally will avoid taking any Colts players In fantasy and also during the week in fantasy football I avoid taking the props of the players I’m playing against. I never want to wish bad on anyone so for that very reason I avoid those guys. For me personally it has helped tremendously, I can still enjoy the game without bias. 
    • I will just say this about the comparisons between Luck and AR.  And even Manning.   First, as far as overall talent?  I think AR has more talent than Andrew.  And I say that as the biggest Luck fan that there is.  I loved that guy.  But he always reminded me of a Manning wannabe.  Someone who had more pure talent.  Who was very smart.  But I never ever got the feeling that he wanted to win and put in the hours that Manning did.  And I think that was proven when he retired so early.  Manning was like an AI robot who studied 23 hours a day.  Just a huge will to win.    But what Luck had was pain tolerance, drive and overall ability due to his teaching since he was a kid...and his will to do what is right for the team.    IMO that was 100% MORE than AR's is right now.  Not even close.    If only you could clone a combo between Manning and his smarts, Luck and his pain tolerance, and AR and his pure athletic ability.    I am sorry but unless AR is the unluckiest person in the history of the NFL, NO ONE gets hurt this much.  He is a wreck.  Heck I remember in his first pre season game last year he ran out of bounds and started to limp.  Literally his very first hit ever.  Right then I said to myself "uh oh".  And then he has not finished what......4 of his all time starts?  Out of 8?  I mean....that is not normal QB behavior.  He seems to get hurt on almost every hit he takes.    Make that make sense.    It is very VERY odd to say the least.   I want AR to do well because he seems like a good guy and he has all the talent in the world  But after this last game and his words after? For lack of a better word I don't think he has any ability at all to do 2 things.     One....protect himself.   Two.....take a hit and feel pain without it being the end of the world.  He seems to have no pain tolerance whatsoever.  Which is fine.  Just don't be an NFL Qb as a result. 
    • I'm not creating anything.  Till AR can stay on the field it's Flacco that has to be tough. 
    • I understand that but till AR shows he can stay on the field, Flacco has to be the man. It's that simple.
