Herro Smogonites, and welcome to the Official Smogon NFL Predictions thread! The game is simple - each week you will post your predictions for the winners of each matchup. In order to be counted, you must enter predictions for ALL games for that week. Also, you must post your predictions no later than one hour before the first game of that week begins. You don't have to predict every week if you don't want to, but only those who enter predictions for every week will be counted when determining the overall winner. Even if you skip a few weeks, I'll still keep your tally and provide you with your win % at the end of the season.

Each week I will edit this Intro Post to show the matchups. To predict that week, you must copy the list and repost it, highlighting each winner in bold. I expect each participant to keep track of their own wins and losses each week and then submit them to me when all games are complete. We're going on an honor system here, so just try to be fair. I will randomly be auditing people's predictions to make sure nobody is cheating.

There isn't really a need to "sign up" per se, just post your predictions and I'll assume you want to participate, subsequently adding you to the master list. I've also decided not to count everyone's results for the first two weeks, since some new people might want to play from here on out. Sorry to anyone that did particularly well the first two weeks (ie CaptKirby, myself, etc) that was maybe hoping to gain a quick leg up on the competition. Our competition will begin with Week 3 of the NFL season, for which I will post matchups soon. glhf!

THE RULES...

1. The competitors are now set. No more new people may join, sorry.
2. In order to remain in the competition, players must submit predictions EVERY WEEK. Failure to submit will result in all losses for that week (0-14, 0-13, 0-16, etc)
3. Failure to submit a prediction a second week will result in disqualification and removal from the challenge.
4. Players are not to post their results until ALL GAMES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. No more "I'm 9-5 so far".
5. Do not get into discussions and debates about other peoples' picks. That is to be relegated to the NFL Discussion Thread. Keep this thread predictions only.

I'll be in. I don't expect to do too well, though. (give me a break--my psychic powers start lapsing in September and don't really pick up until baseball season. I blame genetics.)
 
Enter me in as well, sounds fun! Kinda like what we've been doing for how many years in the one thread lol.

This week's matchups are up! I'll lead off with the predictions.

NOTE: I don't care if you go back and edit your predictions later, as long as your final edit comes before the deadline (1 hour before the first game of the week).

So, without further delay...

San Francisco vs Kansas City
Buffalo vs New England
Atlanta vs New Orleans
Pittsburgh vs Tampa Bay
Tennessee vs New York Giants
Detroit vs Minnesota
Cleveland vs Baltimore
Cincinnati vs Carolina
Dallas vs Houston
Washington vs St. Louis
Philadelphia vs Jacksonville
San Diego vs Seattle
Oakland vs Arizona
Indianapolis vs Denver
New York Jets vs Miami
Green Bay vs Chicago

I'll probably change these later in the week after I let them stew, but for now this is what I got. Have at it!

Depending on how SF plays tonight i may change my pick to KC.
 
San Francisco vs Kansas City (they did well against the saints, and the cheifs sure as hell arent the saints)
Buffalo vs New England (its buffalo, of course im picking NE)
Atlanta vs New Orleans (who dat? home game, division game? saints got it)
Pittsburgh vs Tampa Bay (even with the QB sitch, i trust pittsburgh's D to pull through and help em out)
Tennessee vs New York Giants (CJ gonna run all over manning, probably gonna be a close game though)
Detroit vs Minnesota (brett favre might be old, but stafford is young)
Cleveland vs Baltimore (baltimore got this on lock down, browns are gonna get their shit pushed in)
Cincinnati vs Carolina (ocho+to v. carolina, carolina has no chance)
Dallas vs Houston (considering how bad romo is + how good shaub is, yeah)
Washington vs St. Louis (mcnabb should be able to handle this one)
Philadelphia vs Jacksonville (im not really seeing philly working out this week, qb issues 'n' such, jacksonville should do good since its a home game)
San Diego vs Seattle (neverpickseattleneverpickseattleneverpickseattle)
Oaklandvs Arizona (battle of the bads, this is the FM v G80 of football, just pick the one you want to win)
Indianapolis vs Denver (despite playing at high altitude, its the colts. want the broncos to win but i dont see them stopping manning, they might upset though *hopefully*)
New York Jets vs Miami (J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS, they are out for blood, miami is gonna get rocked)
Green Bay vs Chicago (GB been doing good so far, rodgers doing well and if they can get their O-Line clicking than they got a good chance to do really well this season)

Might have to go back in and edit Oakland depending on who starts at QB. Maybe a few others depending on injuries also. And finally, it pains me to no end to pick fucking Patriots to beat Bills, but I'm not losing points just because I hate them.

Edit: Made two change, Tennessee is probably gonna run over Giants. I mean, if the Colts can do it...not to mention that CJ2K is probably annoyed at having his streak broken by the Steelers. Also decided to change course and have the Bears over the Packers, I think the Bears are due for an upset here...just sort of a gut feeling. Finally, sticking with Oakland over AZ as they're keeping Gradowski starting, and AZ is pretty much in shambles right now; even the Raiders defense should have no problems keeping Derek Anderson in check, not even Fitzgerald gives them problems if they stick him with double coverage and just keep a wary eye on the others.
 
I'll be in this, sounds like fun

San Francisco vs Kansas City
Buffalo vs New England
Atlanta vs New Orleans
Pittsburgh vs Tampa Bay
Tennessee vs New York Giants
Detroit vs Minnesota
Cleveland vs Baltimore
Cincinnati vs Carolina
Dallas vs Houston
Washington vs St. Louis
Philadelphia vs Jacksonville
San Diego vs Seattle
Oakland vs Arizona
Indianapolis vs Denver
New York Jets vs Miami
Green Bay vs Chicago

I have a hunch on KC over SF, the Giants don't seem to be that great compared to Tennessee (then again Tennessee didn't look that great last week, so that may change), and at a glance the rest seem common sense-ish, although there are a few others I'll probably take a second glance at.
 
San Francisco vs Kansas City
Buffalo vs New England
Atlanta vs New Orleans
Pittsburgh vs Tampa Bay My boys are gonna do it. Here's for 3-0!
Tennessee vs New York Giants
Detroit vs Minnesota
Cleveland vs Baltimore
Cincinnati vs Carolina
Dallas vs Houston
Washington vs St. Louis
Philadelphia vs Jacksonville
San Diego vs Seattle
Oakland vs Arizona
Indianapolis vs Denver
New York Jets vs Miami
Green Bay vs Chicago

Pretty standard, except for my Bucs vs. Pitt pick, but I don't have a good feeling about Pitt (who will be on their 4th string QB?),and the Bucs seem to be on a hot streak (beat down those shitty teams, oh yeah). Who knows. Seems like a good pick for an upset.

If too many more people join I may ditch the weekly results and just keep a running tally. Don't want the intro post to get TOO long.

EDIT: Removed all the Weekly results because it was just getting too long
 
San Francisco vs Kansas City
Buffalo vs New England
Atlanta vs New Orleans
Pittsburgh vs Tampa Bay
Tennessee vs New York Giants
Detroit vs Minnesota
Cleveland vs Baltimore
Cincinnati vs Carolina
Dallas vs Houston
Washington vs St. Louis
Philadelphia vs Jacksonville
San Diego vs Seattle
Oakland vs Arizona
Indianapolis vs Denver
New York Jets vs Miami
Green Bay vs Chicago

Nothing too shocking here, except St. Louis over Washington, but that can be chalked up to the hopes of a sad Rams fan.

ouch CK, you had a rough week 2 didn't you? Anyone else want to share their results from weeks 1-2? They don't count, just for fun. Think of them as a prediction "Preseason".

I like the participation. Hopefully it will continue from week to week!
