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

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.

    • Sometimes when an elite player goes down a diamond in the rough is found! I don’t get wrapped up in the colts like I used to. If they are playing terrible I usually find something else to do or watch.I don’t let it affect my whole day.
    • I have no question that AR is our QB. He has showed enough to me. Now he has to figure out how to protect himself so he can stay on the field. That will come with more  game experience.
    • Thanks for this as yes, I sometimes don't adequately express my take I guess..Ha!! Happens. 🤷‍♂️ But you are correct. Cam to me as you stated was never a consistently good QB at the NFL level and that is why I was never a fan of his game. I guess it's all about how one views what an NFL QB should be or look like. I'm not a fan of Lamar either as I think he is somewhat in the mold of that type of QB. Great athlete who just happens to play QB. Outside of that Raven scheme, I'm not sold on the fact the Jackson could ever flourish. It's why over 90% of the time if Lamar is needed to bring the Ravens out of a deficit he can't do it. It's not his game, yet there are those who think Lamar is superior and he has achieved personal accomplishments. Ravens do consistently win though but it's an entire team deal as their defense is normally rock solid to compliment that run first style. We don't have that here in Indy
    • I already laid out the injuries.  You can say what you want but one was the coaches pulling him in the Rams game because they were down multiple scores with little time left, two of the others were a concussion and a shoulder injury that required surgery so that rules out toughness.  Then the Steelers game he tried to comeback and clearly wasn’t moving well and it’s reported he has injury that does cause players to miss time and there is a chance he plays Sunday which seems to be counter productive to people who want argue he’s not tough enough.  None of those involve him lacking toughness.  It’s a nonsense argument made up by fans who are tired of him being injured.     also Richardson has taken wicked hits and hopped right back up from them.  To the point people complain about the league not protecting him with roughing the passer calls.  If he had no pain tolerance he wouldn’t get up from the those hits.   yes he needs to be better at protecting himself.  Again that has nothing to do with toughness.   Also I am not comparing him to Luck if you read my post.   I am pointing out Irsay is acknowledging they are being cautious with Richardson and injuries because of what happened with Luck.  That’s not comparing the two players.
    • IMO the only reason to not play Richardson (when healthy) is if you've given up on him. Joe Flacco has a role on this team and that role is secondary or tertiary to the main goal of this team at this moment - namely developing AR and figuring out if he can be our franchise QB. The best way to do both of those is to play him and let him gain experience and playing time... And, ultimately to get enough snaps that you feel comfortable with whatever decision you come to about his long term prospects. And IMO the only reason to bench him is if you think you've gotten the answer to that primary question and it is negative.    Otherwise, we are doing the same thing we were doing the last 3 years before we drafted him and IMO that's the worst place to be as a franchise in regards with your QB... Where you not only don't have a franchise QB but you don't even have the hope of having one on the roster.   I can't believe this conversation is even being had. If he can play... He has to play.
