Board 8 > Board 8's NFL Point Prediction League 2022 - Week 17

(+) Yeah! (+)

Rules:

1. Each week, you will be predicting the score for two teams. These two teams do NOT have to be facing one another.
2. You cannot pick a team twice, until you've picked for all other teams. At which point you can predict them a second time but never a third time. A spreadsheet will be available to list available teams for you. There is an exception for week 14. If you've already picked for all teams except for 5 or 6 on a BYE during that week, you may repeat your teams a week early, but then cannot pick repeat teams again until week 18. (Or one in week 17 as the case may be)
3. If you miss a week, you will be automatically given the worst score of the week +7. So if the worst score in a week is a combined 22, you will be given 29 points.
4. The Top 12 pickers will move on to the playoffs.
5. Each week there will be a tiebreaker Triple Threat. You can predict the result of 0, 1, 2, or 3 of those games. You will then earn tiebreaker points based on how many you get right. For each you get right, you earn 10 points. For each you get wrong you lose 30 points. If you get every one you predict correct, your points will be doubled. This means if you go 1/1 you get 20 points. If you go 2/2 you get 40 points. And if you go 3/3 you get 60 points. But if you go 2/3 you lose 10 points. And if you go 1/2 you lose 20 points. And if you go 0/1 you lose 30 points. You do not have to pick any of them. Doing so, however, will earn you 0 points.
6. There will also be a final tiebreaker in week 18. Any further ties will be decided by the record against playoff teams (If you've picked them twice, those scores will be halved. So if you get +3 and +7, your score will be considered 5, not 10)
7. A Score Prediction must be posted before the game starts. Tiebreakers must be posted before those games start. The Thursday Night game will never be part of the tiebreaker so as to give everyone time to pick a tiebreaker.
8. If you do not make a pick for a team by season's end, the penalty will be 2x the worst score for that team. (Example: If the worst score for the jets is 6 points, you get 12 points for the Jets in addition to all your other points)

Congrats to Buffy_Summers who had the best week this week with 4 points! Good job!

Teams each person still needs to pick:

EmeraldEgg
Texans
Jaguars
Dolphins
Saints
Giants
Eagles
49ers
Seahawks
Titans

HanOfTheNekos
Eagles
Seahawks

KCF0107
Eagles

SwiftyDC
Falcons
Panthers
Browns
Raiders
Saints

Saints 13
Raiders 16

Buccaneers

what I've learned from this is that I know the teams that I don't know how to predict.

small suggestion here, if this continues next year, my vote would be that the rule just becomes "you must pick each team at least once before the year is over" and "you can't pick a team more than twice"

Philadelphia Eagles - 34
Seattle Seahawks - 29

Triple Threat Tiebreaker:
Cleveland Browns
Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Eagles - 27
Saints - 17

I suggest doing a spread pickem league. This was too tough for me to do again.

Do you have a spreadsheet for week-by-week picks? I could have sworn I never did repeat picks. I always looked at the list of "Teams Remaining".

I guess I could have repeated if that spreadsheet wasn't updated for me?

Doubt it'll continue next year. I'll be packing up and moving, and probably get away from the NFL for a bit (it's been part of my job for... a very long time) But this is basically what the rule is this year. Just simplified.
