Jacksonville Jaguars (Always Pissed Off)

First Place In Division (Record)

PF: 111 (25)

PA: 110 (t-25)

Power Ranking: +1 (t-17)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 6.9

Average Per-Game PA Score: 6.9

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 7-2

Best Outing: 12 Picks (Week 2)

Worst Outing: 5 Picks (Weeks 9, 13, 16, 17 )

Noteworthy Stat: A 4-2 divisional record helped him win the South. A three-game losing streak to end the season, with only being able to get five picks right in Weeks 16 and 17 aren’t a good way to end the season. He defeated his divisional playoff opponent, Buffalo, in Week 12 via TB which was the only time APO needed to use a TB score.

 

Indianapolis Colts (Prime Time Andrew Doyle)

Second Place In Division, First Wild Card Seed (9-7)

PF: 123 (5)

PA: 113 (t-17)

Power Ranking: +10 (t-4)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.7

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.1

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 3-6

Best Outing: 11 Picks (Week 2)

Worst Outing: 5 Picks (Weeks 7, 14 )

Noteworthy Stat: That 3-6 record in close games was a key element in Doyle not getting a first-round bye. His best outing came the only week in which he used his Eps, although he also had two games where he got 10 picks correct.

 

Tennessee Titans (Cuban Linx)

Third Place In Division, Second Wild Card Seed (9-7)

PF: 118 (t-12)

PA: 123 (t-3)

Power Ranking: -5 (22)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.4

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.7

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 6-1

Best Outing: 10 Picks (Weeks 12, 15)

Worst Outing: 5 Picks (Weeks 4, 13)

Noteworthy Stat: Dealing with a tough schedule, Linx managed to snag a postseason spot. His 6-1 record in close games includes a 2-1 in games decided by TB scores. One of these wins included a 5-5 contest in Week 4 against the Jets.

 

Houston Texans (Bored)

Fourth Place In Division (7-9)

PF: 115 (18)

PA: 116 (t-13)

Power Ranking: -1 (19)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.2

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.3

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 4-4

Best Outing: 12 Picks (Week 14)

Worst Outing: 2 Picks (Week 9)

Noteworthy Stat: 2-4 in the AFC South and 1-3 against NFC opponents hampered Bored. While he got 2 picks right in Week 9, his opponent scored just 4. Was 7-7 and in playoff contentions as far in as Week 15, but two losses at the end of the season against playoff teams (including division opponent Doyle) put him below .500.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

Just a note: I'll be going to a funeral tomorrow at 11 a.m., so if you PM picks before the kickoff deadline I'll post them, but I have no idea when I'll be back home to be able to so, thus some games may not be available until after kickoff.

 

OK. I'm back. I also thought the early game was going to be at 1 p.m.

 

Deadline has come and gone. Bravesfan is using EPs.

I like Steve McNair.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

Ummmm you put my picks for APO's I think

 

No I didn't. I just put the wrong names for each set of picks. The picks were correct ... it was just the names that needed switched. Yeah.

[Guest]

Fuck Steve McNair.

[Danville_Wrestling 0]

I believe with the Philadelphia beating the spread combined with New England's victory today I win 2-1.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

AFC West

 

Kansas City Chiefs (Alfdogg)

First Place In Division (9-6-1)

PF: 118 (t-12)

PA: 111 (t-22)

Power Ranking: +7 (t-11)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.4

Average Per-Game PA Score: 6.9

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 4-3-1

Best Outing: 13 Picks (Week 2)

Worst Outing: 5 Picks (Weeks 4, 8, 9, 10, 13)

Noteworthy Stat: In a tight division, Alfdogg was just over .500 with a 3-2-1 record, but he was 2-0-1 in games decided by TBs. Was 3-2 in the five games where he made 5 correct picks; 2 of those games went to TBs.

 

Oakland Raiders (Smues)

Second Place In Division (8-8)

PF: 127(2)

PA: 120 (t-9)

Power Ranking: +7 (t-11)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.9

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.5

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 2-5

Best Outing: 13 Picks (Week 2 )

Worst Outing: 4 Picks (Weeks 6, 8 )

Noteworthy Stat: Although he had the second-highest PF score, Smues struggled in close games. His Divisional record was a solid 4-2, but losses in the last two weeks, including one to division-winner Alfdogg really hurt Smues’ playoff chances. Even though Smues had one week where he picked 13 right, two weeks where he picked 12 right, one week where he picked 11 right and one where he picked 10 right, he also had three weeks where he picked only 5 right and two weeks where he picked only 4 right. He lost all five of those sub par outings.

 

Denver Broncos (Canadian Chris)

Third Place In Division (8-8)

PF: 112 (t-23)

PA: 115 (15)

Power Ranking: -3 (21)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.2

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 4-4

Best Outing: 10 Picks (Weeks 2, 14)

Worst Outing: 3 Picks (Week 10)

Noteworthy Stat: The two weeks Chris had 10 correct picks, each of his opponents had more. Two games where he had 4 picks right and one week where he had 5 picks right didn’t help his playoff hopes. Went 1-1 against division-winning Alfdogg, went 1-1 against second-place Smues and got swept by fourth-place Porter.

 

San Diego (Porter)

Fourth Place In Division (7-8-1)

PF: 118 (t-12)

PA: 126 (2)

Power Ranking: -8 (t-25)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.4

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.9

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 1-3-1

Best Outing: 11 Picks (Week 14)

Worst Outing: 4 Picks (Weeks 9, 12 )

Noteworthy Stat: Even though he finished last in his division and had the second-highest PA total, Porter was only two games out of first place. Four games where he scored 4-5 picks correctly hurt him, especially since two of these weeks were only decided by one pick. A 2-3-1 divisional record didn’t help matter either.

NFC East

 

Philadelphia Eagles (Poster)

First Place In Division (9-6-1)

PF: 123 (t-5)

PA: 116 (t-13)

Power Ranking: +7 (t-11)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.7

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.3

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 5-3-1

Best Outing: 13 Picks (Week 16)

Worst Outing: 5 Picks (Week 7)

Noteworthy Stat: A winning record in close games, of which more than half of his games played this year, and a 5-1 divisional record, helped Quinn capture the NFC East. Interesting enough, only two of his “close games” went to TB scores.

 

New York Giants (Cartman)

Second Place In Division (7-9)

PF: 113 (t-19)

PA: 121 (t-8)

Power Ranking: -8 (t-25)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.3

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.6

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 3-2

Best Outing: 12 Picks (Weeks 14, 16, 17)

Worst Outing: 3 Picks (Week 8)

Noteworthy Stat: Those three weeks where Cartman got 12 picks right were the only weeks he got more than 8 picks correct in a week.

 

Washington Redskins (Human Fly)

Third Place In Division (7-9)

PF: 103 (t-30)

PA: 113 (t-17)

Power Ranking: -10 (28)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 6.4

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.1

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 5-5

Best Outing: 10 Picks (Week 14)

Worst Outing: 3 Picks (Weeks 9, 10, 16)

Noteworthy Stat: Despite being tied for the second-lowest PF score, Fly was in playoff contention until Week 16, where his EP’s handed him a 3-7 loss. He was 2-2 in games decided by TBs.

 

Dallas Cowboys (Hawk 34)

Fourth Place In Division (5-11)

PF: Score 107 (28)

PA: 123 (t-3)

Power Ranking: -16 (t-29)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 6.9

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.7

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 3-3

Best Outing: 10 Picks (Week 6)

Worst Outing: 4 Picks (Week 10)

Noteworthy Stat: Sure he had a low PF score and one of the toughest PA’s, but he’s banging a hot chick, so it all evens out in the end.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

NFC North

 

Detroit Lions (Bravesfan)

First Place In Division (11-5)

PF: 123 (t-5)

PA: 107 (29)

Power Ranking: +16 (2)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.7

Average Per-Game PA Score: 6.9

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 5-4

Best Outing: 9 Picks (Weeks 1, 2, 4, 12, 16, 17 )

Worst Outing: 5 Picks (Week 3)

Noteworthy Stat: Sure he had a weak schedule, but Bravesfan also had a solid PF total. And even though he never made 10 or more correct picks per week, he was steady with four weeks with 7 correct picks, three weeks with 8 correct picks, and six weeks with 9 correct picks.

 

Green Bay Packers (Vitamin X)

Second Place In Division, First Wild-Card Seed (9-7)

PF: 97 (32)

PA: 103 (31-t)

Power Ranking: -6 (24)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 6.1

Average Per-Game PA Score: 6.4

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 4-0

Best Outing: 9 Picks (Weeks 1, 12)

Worst Outing: 2 Picks (Week 16)

Noteworthy Stat: Did he share the weakest schedule this year? Yes. Did he the lowest PF score in the league? Yes. But he was also 5-1 in a division where three teams made the postseason and won every close game he was in.

 

Minnesota Team (Danville Wrestling)

Third Place In Division, Second Wild-Card Seed (9-7)

PF: 123 (t-5)

PA: 112 (t-20)

Power Ranking: +11 (3)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.7

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 5-5

Best Outing: 11 Picks (Weeks 2, 17)

Worst Outing: 3 Picks (Week 8)

Noteworthy Stat: Danville was 3-3 when the TB was needed and 2-2 when the a game was decided by one pick. A 4-2 divisional record didn’t hurt his playoff bid.

 

Chicago Bears (Agent of Obliviion)

Fourth Place In Division (5-11)

PF: 103 (30-t)

PA: 120 (t-9)

Power Ranking: -17 (31)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 6.4

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.5

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 4-4

Best Outing: 10 Picks (Week 15)

Worst Outing: 4 Picks (Weeks 3, 8, 17)

Noteworthy Stat: After going 0-4, Agent never really recovered; two of the first four losses were decided by one pick or less.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

Danville and Cuban have PM'd me their picks. They will be posted Sunday morning, just in case either one wants to change their selection.

NFC South

 

Atlanta Falcons (King of the 909)

First Place In Division (12-4)

PF: 134 (1)

PA: 113 (t-17)

Power Ranking: +21 (1)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 8.4

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.1

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 4-2

Best Outing: 13 Picks (Week 2 )

Worst Outing: 4 Picks (Weeks 7, 9 )

Noteworthy Stat: Most, of 909’s games were relatively close affairs. He was 4-2 record in games decided by 1 pick or less, a 2-2 record in games decided by 2 picks, 3-0 in games decided by 3 picks and 2-0 in games decided by 4 picks. He was a perfect 6-0 in his division.

 

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Starvenger)

Second Place In Division (9-7)

PF: 125 (t-3)

PA: 119 (t-11)

Power Ranking: +6 (14)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.8

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.4

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 2-3

Best Outing: 10 Picks (Weeks 2, 5, 14, 17 )

Worst Outing: 4 Picks (Week 6)

Noteworthy Stat: So close to a playoff spot (Starvenger didn’t get in due to end-of-season TBs), there are a number of places to look and see where he could have squeezed out a win. Three games he lost by 1 pick. Also, in the four weeks where Starvenger got 10 pick correct, he lost three of those games (10-13 in Week 2 to Atlanta, 10-11 in Week 14 to Atlanta, and 10-12 in Week 17 to Seattle).

 

New Orleans Saints (Cena’s Writer )

Third Place In Division (6-9-1)

PF: 118 (t-12)

PA: 110 (t-25)

Power Ranking: +8 (t-9)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.4

Average Per-Game PA Score: 6.9

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 1-5-1

Best Outing: 10 Picks (Weeks 2, 16, 17 )

Worst Outing: 4 Picks (Weeks 4, 13)

Noteworthy Stat: His PF and PA stats were comparable to this year’s postseason teams, so why did Cena struggle? When it came to close games, he was 1-5-1. What really was in two instances where his opponent only got 5 picks correct, yet Cena only managed 4 (Week 4 to Carolina and Week 10 to Pittsburgh). He was also 1-3 in games decided by 2 picks and 2-4 in his division.

 

Carolina Panthers (Fazzle)

Fourth Place In Division (5-11)

PF: 113 (t-19)

PA: 122 (t-5)

Power Ranking: -9 (27)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.1

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.6

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 2-6

Best Outing: 11 Picks (Week 2)

Worst Outing: 2 Picks (Week 6)

Noteworthy Stat: What a difference a PA score makes. Despite sharing the same PF score as the 12-4 Browns, the 5-11 Fazzle had a much tougher schedule than SFA Jack did. However, 6 games lost by one pick or less and a 1-5 divisional record didn’t help matters much, the highlight of which was a 2-3 loss in Week 6 to Baltimore.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

NFC West

 

Arizona Cardinals (Vern Gagne)

First Place In Division (8-8)

PF: 121 (9)

PA: 111 (t-22)

Power Ranking: +10 (t-4)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.6

Average Per-Game PA Score: 6.9

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 2-6

Best Outing: 12 Picks (Week 14)

Worst Outing: 5 Picks (Weeks 8, 11, 15)

Noteworthy Stat: A three-year playoff participant, Vern made it this season to the postseason by the skin of his teeth, with his 5-1 divisional record. Unlike many playoff teams, he struggled in games decided by 1 pick or less with a 2-6 record. However, he was 3-1 in games decided by 2 picks and 2-1 in games decided by 3 picks.

 

 

Seattle Seahawks (Dubs/Chazz 1998)

Second Place In Division (8-8)

PF: 119 (t-10)

PA: 110 (t-25)

Power Ranking: +9 (8)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.4

Average Per-Game PA Score: 6.9

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 4-4

Best Outing: 12 Picks (Week 17)

Worst Outing: 5 Picks (Weeks 7, 8)

Noteworthy Stat: With a 4-4 record in games decided by 1 pick or less, and a 1-3 record in games decided by 2 picks, with two of those losses coming via EP picks, there were plenty of chances for Seattle to take this division, thanks in part to a 4-2 divisional record. After going over its EP limit by Week 15, the Seahawks had a change in ownership. For the two weeks he was in control of the team, Chazz had PF scores of 10 and 12, earning victories in each game.

 

St. Louis Rams (Canadian Guitarist)

Third Place In Division (7-9)

PF: 125 (t-3)

PA: 119 (t-11)

Power Ranking: +6 (t-14)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 7.8

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.4

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 3-8

Best Outing: 12 Picks (Week 17)

Worst Outing: 4 Picks (Week 6)

Noteworthy Stat: A high PF score doesn’t mean as much when you’re 0-6 in your division and one game out of the division hunt. A 3-8 record in games decided by 1 pick or less can’t help matters, either.

 

 

San Francisco 49ers (Lightning Flik)

Fourth Place In Division (6-10)

PF: 106 (29)

PA: 122 (t-5)

Power Ranking: -16 (t-29)

Average Per-Game PF Score: 6.6

Average Per-Game PA Score: 7.6

Record In Games Decided By One Pick Or Less: 4-3

Best Outing: 10 Picks (Weeks 12, 14 )

Worst Outing: 2 Picks (Week 13)

Noteworthy Stat: Despite a low PF and a high PA, Flik was actually in the division hunt until a three-game end-of-season losing streak did him in. A 1-5 record at the start of the season really hurt, along with scores of 3 (Week 1), 5 (Week 4), 4 (Weeks 6, 8 and 9) and 5 (Week 4), of which he was a combined 1-5.

I'm self declaring myself king of the 1 pick or less games... in the NFC at least

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

I plan on sleeping in Sunday, so I'll post the matchup now. No gay total net yardage tie-breakers were needed in this one. Good luck to one of you. No sense in wishing luck to both since one will not be getting such a thing.

Slap a Bears jersey on him and you have a visual interpretation of Rex Grossman's performance.

 

Congrats Cuban Linx

[Danville_Wrestling 0]

Also, thanks for running the league kkk. I really enjoyed it and it made me pay more attention to the season than I have in past years. When I was the #6 seed to start the playoffs I was content to just win a playoff game so making it to the kkk Bowl in my first year was beyond my expectations. I'd definitely love to play next year.

[kkktookmybabyaway 0]

OK, this thread can be unpineed. Thanks to Alfdogg for helping me out this year as my unoffical "bitch," and thanks to all who participated. Everyone who had a team at the end of the season gets first dibs on their franchise for next year.

[Cuban Linx 0]

Hooray for me. While Peyton Manning & the Colts: Superbowl Champions is something i'd rather live without, at least them winning led to me claiming the far more important kkk Bowl. I guess now i can't say i suck at this ever again.
