NFL 2016 Predictions
July 16, 2016 at 12:58 am (This post was last modified: July 16, 2016 at 1:38 pm by Tiberius.)
For those of you who remember, last year I devised a competition for the last 4 weeks of the NFL 2015 season (and then the post-season) where participants had to predict the winner of each NFL game: https://atheistforums.org/thread-39792.html

This year we'll do the entire season, starting with the pre-season games (including the HOF game) week 1 of the regular season.

If you want to play, make yourself known in this thread, and I'll PM everyone for their predictions in advance of the games. As before, I'll track everyone's predictions via an online spreadsheet.

Really? Preseason?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Adds to the challenge because the teams are using a load of backup players. Smile

Yeah but there is literally nothing going on with this. The teams themselves aren't really interested in winning. Might as well see who is best at coin tosses... Tongue

I guess I'm in.

Well, we could always have them play pitch and toss.

Anyway my prediction:

Whichever team scores the greater number of points in each game will win.

I'll take my prize in small, unmarked bills, please.
