Open NFL 2024-2025: Week 17

[Jon]

I wanted to put up a new thread to remind everyone of the games on Christmas, which means tomorrow, Wednesday. So if you're going to pick, make sure to at least get those two Netflix games in!

You can make your picks here!

 

[bittersweet]

Got my picks in. Hope I'm right on most of them.

@Jon I can still change the Cowboys/Eagles game but not the Green Bay/Minn game. Need to swap those up.

Fixed it, thanks. They must have flexed that game after I set it up

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I took a chance at the Browns randomly beating the Tua-less Dolphins. No such luck. meh

 

[bittersweet]

Turns out the Giants decided they wanted to win today - oh darn.

Nabers said "I got your championship for you bro." And I'm here for them dropping out of the top pick now lol.

To be fair, there isn't a QB I'd want at 1, so if I'm the Giants, who cares?

 

[bittersweet]

Well, I guess if it was them knocking another team out of the running for the playoffs, I guess I shouldn't complain.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

lol, "third place"

kicking me while I'm down

 

[Jon]

lol, I copied what Mark did last year, but I think next season I'll just do top 3 names. It feels weird to recognize someone with the least.... You know what, I'll just end it there...

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I've been at or near the bottom almost all season. But I did place 1st one time.

I was a little worried the Lions might not be able to pull through last night, but Dan must have said something during half-time that kicked them into gear.

 

[Quagmire]

Fuck the damn colts

 

[Fool's Requiem]

aw, @Spiner202 was one of the other players to pick the Rams. gg

Wish playoff games were worth more points like they used to be. I remember coming super close to winning because I was the only person to pick the Seahawks over the Broncos in their Super Bowl, simply because of how many points you got from picking the SB correct.

I honestly do not know if there is a way to award additional points. @Mark may know the system's capabilities more than I, but I only input the scores, points are auto awarded.

I’m getting on the computer now to see what I can do about this.

Edit - Alright, @Jon, so it seems like the only way we can alter this going forward is to either change the home/away values for points awarded, which may retroactively change cumulative total points… or we can try to break the playoffs away from the regular season and assign a higher value for those games. It’s your call.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I feel like I'm going to just miss out on the top three again. My awful start to the season didn't help me and I feel like the only reason I am even close is because numerous players forgot to do picks on certain weeksand/or dropped out completely.

If it makes you feel better, if I didn't miss a week with the hurricane I'd be higher and that makes me sad lol.

Yeah, I completely fucked over any chance I had at placing early on. Now I see why it was so hard for people to keep tabs on it with the never ending sea of notifications here, because if I ain’t running it… I ain’t remembering it.

 

[Jon]

Anyone else pick the conference championships based on their heart instead of their head?

 

[Fool's Requiem]

I picked who I think SHOULD win.

 

[Jon]

Boo, that's no fun

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Chiefs gotta lose at some point...

 

[Mark]

Chiefs gotta lose at some point...

They’ve had her in attendance more than any other NFL team at this point. That’s gotta count for a loss in some category.

 

[Fool's Requiem]

So, Jon... who did you pick?

 

[Jon]

So, Jon... who did you pick?

Unlike the rest of the playoffs where I went heart over head, I went head over heart and I'm pretty sure I picked the Chiefs.

so, we should be tied for 3rd then

 

[Fool's Requiem]

Ooh, I did better score wise this season than last season. 168 total last year, 182 this year. Actually, looks like all of us who stuck it out all season did better this season.

Yup, but you already have the 3rd place badge
