The Dolphins Make Me Cry.com - Forums

Here's how it works...

* Pick the division winners from all 8 NFL divisions  (2 points for each correct pick)
* Pick 2 wildcards from each conference  (2 points for each correct pick)
* Pick the Conference champions  (4 points for each correct pick)
* Pick the Super Bowl winner  (4 points for correct pick)

This fits in the same category as EK predicting Tim Tebow would solve the Jets offensive problems.

^^^I guess my prediction isn't the only one fitting into that category...

http://www.examiner.com/article/2013-nfl-season-predictions-pittsburgh-steelers (tied for 1st playoff berth)

But hey, they're just predictions from a few schlubs like me.

With the loss of their deep threat and with that aging, creaky defense, they just aren't what they used to be.  I really don't see them in the playoffs let alone winning their division.

Is anyone else confused by this win/loss and standings prediction for Miami? They project the Bills to be 6-10 and in 2nd while they pick the Dolphins to be 7-9 and tied for second? Am I missing something?

I'll make it simple for everyone...

Dolphins win go 16-0 and win the Superbowl...

Nothing else matters.

Nope, I'm not saying it to get reactions.  I'm loving the chatter about how bad the AFC East is after New England.  Every year there are shocker teams.  This will be a big year for a few.

Actually......


 ;D

^^Yeah, but you didn't say they would win the AFC East.

:-)

It is impossible to go 16-0 and not win your division.  It is, however, possible to go 15-1 and not win the division.  Also possible to go 14-2 and miss the playoffs.  Or go 3-13 and win the division. 

Is it possible to go 16-0 and still not win the Super Bowl?  ;D

Bravo!

If you haven't gotten your NFL season predictions in, you have roughly 9 hours to do so. Once the game starts tonight, I will ask the section mod to delete the random comment posts in this thread and lock it up.

Game on, folks...let's see how clear your pigskin clairvoyance skillz really are!

He didn't say the words.

I think you ought to give 1 point if you picked a team to win their division, and didn't, but at least made it as a wildcard.  And vice versa, 1 point if picked as a wild card, yet won the division.

^^^ I can certainly look to adjust the scoring set when we do this again next season, but changing rules of a game mid-stream would be a bad move. I'd also say that your recommendation for a scoring rules change might carry more weight if you were actually participating in the game. ;)

I should get points for picking 4 of the shittiest teams to make the playoffs.  ;)

I actually looked back and saw the rules after I made my post, so I'd have to agree that you shouldn't change mid stream.  To your second point I disagree, actually since I am not playing and have nothing to gain my recommendation should carry MORE weight.   :)

I am disappointed that I didn't play along.  ...not sure why -- I must not've seen this thread.

Looks like if the Broncos win the Super Bowl, Thundergod wins this thing.  Else, there's a 4-way tie for first place.

w00t.     :D
