I would like to open up the floor for any constructive criticism as to how we could improve this thread. Right now it is pretty straight forward. Just common sense guidelines:

► When predicting an event's outcome, get the prediction in before the start of the event.

► Each correct prediction nets you 1 point.

► The posters are ranked in descending numerical order, with the highest percentage of correct predictions at the top.

► HONOR SYSTEM: I will do my best to check out the outcome of every prediction, but need to know that I can take you at your word.


I would like to propose a rule, but I want to see how everyone feels about it. Some people may abuse the thread by coming in and making one-off predictions to get a 100% rating and then never return. I posit that if you are at 100%, you must make at least 1 prediction every 30 days to remain active. Otherwise, you will be relegated to INACTIVE status. Thoughts?

You and I must have been on the same wave length LOL. What do you propose?

How about it takes 10 predictions to enter the pool that qualifies for ranking? This will entice members to make predictions, as there is some kind of reward.

i agree, Mack is best defensive player at least i think. i also believe the Patriots will make it to the super bowl again, as weak as their season has been for them. the bears have a better record than the Patriots but i still think itd be a really tough game to call really but i want the bears. bears gotta beat the rams or saints first in the the championship though too. it'll be interesting.


im pumped for the outback bowl tomorrow. Go Iowa! :pimp::dj:

No offense but I think Miss State is going to demolish Iowa.

Sweet

Good luck against Dallas!

It's gonna be a fun playoffs seasons. Lots of great teams this year. We almost lost to the Cardinals but we pulled out a win again. Hawk's are definitely fighting. The team is looking pretty strong.

I can’t believe Russell’s QBR. Best in the NFL. Goddamn if he ain’t a talented midget.
