American Football

[raptorrex]

My team is the Bears! lol, it was a documentary my dad brought back from the USA in the seventy's, double lol, it was on 16mm cine film, about this Animal called Butkus. those who saw him play will know what i mean. as a soccer player i was a goalkeeper, so defense was my game. despite starting my gridiron days as a fullback. injury moved me to middle linebacker, a position i loved, so in a way i got to emulate, lol badly, the guy who started it all for me.

for those who have never seen the great man play:

and a typical Butkus comment:

[Flumpus]

I'll participate, but I want to make sure we're picking winners, and not against the spread. Is that correct?

I hope so Flumpus, i am not keen on all this "spread" stuff, just looking for clean winners, i dont think its against the spead

Bozza

AM still not clear on this "away team" points, do you more points if an away team wins or something?

 

[Flumpus]

Ya, I don't like the away team points thing for people that don't enter their bets either. What if Indy is playing at Arizona (because someone laughably claimed they are contenders), that's not fair...

Anyway, I'll post my bets tomorrow probably.

 

[fry_lover]

my vote is that its just a plain 5 pts for a win and 0 points for everything else Bozza

doesn't matter whether a team is playing home, away or in the Ice Pole, you get 5 pts if the team you pick wins and thats it

but its up to the main man Mr Boz

 

[fry_lover]

New Orleans at Indianapolis

Atlanta at Minnesota

Carolina at St. Louis

Denver at Buffalo

Kansas City at Houston

Miami at Washington

Tampa Bay at Seattle

NY Giants at Dallas
