2022 NFL Team Wins Pool

[Sandyman]

It's that time of the year again. Pick your teams before the season starts and come back at the end of the regular season to see if you have won. That simple and easy.

How to Play

You select the teams you think will have the best record at the end of the regular season.
You combine the number of wins of the teams you selected to get your Wins Total.
Whoever has the highest Wins Total, Wins the Pool!

A Tie counts as half a Win and is added to the total. A team can only be picked once.

Example:
You picked Ravens and Jets and their standings at the end of regular season are:

Ravens : 13-2-1
Jets : 3-13-0

Then your Wins Total is 13+0.5+3 = 16.5​

Tie Breaker

If two players finish with the same Wins Total, the winner will be decided by tiebreaker in the following order:
1. Best combined away record
2. Most combined points scored
3. Least combined points against
4. Coin-toss

Since there are 32 NFL teams, we would ideally need 8 or 16 people to play. Will do a snake draft in the thread itself once we get enough people.

Last year, @RobinLFC won in a close battle that went to the final GameWeek.

So, who's in?

 

[altodevil]

I used to run this and there is a fairer way than a snake draft

Just 2 days for the season opener. I have given up hope

 

[Rado_N]

In!

 

[Rado_N]

I’ll take Green Bay and the Rams

 

[RobinLFC]

So when do we get this started? Kick-off is only a good 48 hours away anymore ()

 

[WeePat]

I’m in. Sorry mate. Count me in.

 

[RoadTrip]

I’ll take Green Bay and the Rams

Since you’re last, you can instead have the Texans. And since I’m nice I’ll let you choose the next one, but from the Bears, Seahawks, Commanders, or Jets.

 

[WeePat]

So how do we pick teams and make sure people don’t pick the same two teams?

Usually by using techniques such as reading, in particular the table which will have the list of picks so far …!

[RoadTrip]

But not sure if you were pipped to the last spot. I’ll let the main @Sandyman sort out that conundrum.

What's this for?

 

[Sandyman]

What's this for?

You pick teams you think will have the best record.

 

[Sandyman]

@Rado_N makes it 8. Sorry @WeePat and @JJ12 but playing with 10 would mean only 3 rounds of draft and I don't want to open that can of worms.

 

[Sandyman]

So the 8 players are:
Sandyman
RobinLFC
Ayush_reddevil
altodevil
rpitroda
Organic Potatoes
backofthenet
Rado_N

We draft in the thread itself with maybe a 4 hour window between picks. People can PM me their picks as well.

Will post randomized list in a minute.

 

[Sandyman]

There were 8 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

1. altodevil
2. backofthenet
3. Organic Potatoes
4. RobinLFC
5. Rado_N
6. Ayush_reddevil
7. rpitroda
8. Sandyman

@altodevil you're on the clock!

Please tag the next player after your pick

 

[altodevil]

I'm always first ffs

Tampa


@backofthenet

 

[Sandyman]

FFS that went well. @backofthenet final call.

Please PM me your picks if you're in a different time zone or won't be available for a while

 

[backofthenet]

Bills

@Organic Potatoes

 

[RoadTrip]

I presume it snakes back up in round 2? Eg I have pick 7 and 10?

 

[Sandyman]

Yes!

 

[Sandyman]

@Organic Potatoes picks Packers

Others please PM your picks in case you're going to bed or will be away for an extended time to keep this going

@RobinLFC you're on the clock!

 

[RobinLFC]

I'll be available pretty much all day today and tomorrow so just pick here. This is difficult though, obvious ones would be Chargers or Chiefs but they're playing in a very competitive division, same goes for the Ravens, ugh.

Feck it, it's Jalen Hurts MVP szn. Eagles for me.

 

[RobinLFC]

@Rado_N

 

[Rado_N]

I genuinely think Denver are going to go deep but I don’t want to jinx them so I’m going to go with KC.

@Ayush_reddevil

 

[Ayush_reddevil]

Sorry guys for the wait . I take the chargers

@rpitroda

 

[RoadTrip]

Altodevil	Buccaneers
Backofthenet	Bills
Organic Potatoes	Packers
RobinLFC	Eagles
Rado_N	Chiefs
