So Patriots can clinch AFC title this week if they beat the Dolphins. Texans can clinch AFC south if Titans lose Saints clinch NFC south with a win or panthers loss Rams clinched last week.

So a lot of the games look like they are going to be bad. New Orleans at Dallas (but Thursday ugh.), Minnesota at New England, Chargers at Pissburgh I guess. This would be the first time I've seen a Chargers game all season!

No Chiefs or Rams this week, if you've got a fantasy team you might have a chance this week!

Obviously the marquee game to watch this week is the 9-1 Chiefs at the 9-1 Rams. Sadly the game won't be played in Mexico anymore so the fans can actually go to the game now.

I made this thread earlier just for the Dez news. I doubt anyone cares in the end though. Thursday game looks good for a change. The rest of the week not so much.

Almost forgot there is an amazing game between two 1 win bay area teams tonight.

Judging by this schedule there seems to be a lot more tricks on the list. Green Bay vs Rams, New Orleans vs Minnesota looking like the highlights of the week. New England gets another prime time game and against Buffalo this might be an ugly one to watch. And do we think the Browns and the Steelers can tie again?!

Some big bets and some great predictions scrambled the top half of the leaderboard pretty heavily this week! Out of the fray comes Alpha1Cowboy who climbs to the top of the hill going into the half-way point of the regular season! -= WEEK 7 RESULTS =- Feature Game: The Broncos trampled the Cards, blowing away the -2.5.

That's right, you might have forgotten this was a thing but we have our first international game of the year! I'm sure you'll all wake up early to watch this electrifying matchup between the Chargers and Titans! (Turns out it is the second but I'm leaving the original text for shame purposes)

A huge shake-up in the standings this week as Biggie is finally knocked from his perch and BasemntDweller2 takes his place atop the leader board!

Only two undefeated teams are out there, Rams and Chiefs. On the flip side there are no winless teams through 5 weeks which is impressive going by past seasons. So either a lot of teams are equally as bad or the bad teams got better.

For the most part this week seems like a bunch of bad games. Minnesota vs Philly should be good. LA vs Seattle maybe...

For the second week in a row Biggie fails his bet but comes up big on the predictions, nailing the receiving leader and being the only player to get the pick 'em bonus, to hang on to the lead by a slim margin for yet another week! -= WEEK 4 RESULTS =- Feature Game: In a come from behind performance that further solidified Mahomes as a force at QB in the League, the Chiefs beat the Broncos by a score of 27-23; winning on the field but failing to cover the -5.

TNF game shows promise this week. If it is the Vikings from two weeks ago it should be good if it is the Vikings from last week it should be bad. Two undefeated teams playing this week. Miami trying to keep the Patriots down and Kansas City looking a bit unstoppable going against the Broncos. In case you didn't get the reference in the title:

Despite losing on the Feature Game, Biggie makes a couple clutch calls on the weekly questions to hang on to the lead! -= WEEK 3 RESULTS =- Feature Game: The Steelers hold on to beat the Bucs by a score of 30-27, covering the -2.

Dirty cheaters. Biggie was the only player to recognize their devious ways. 5) Call the winners: Green Bay at Washington Cincinatti at Carolina Denver at Baltimore ($500 for EACH correctly named game winner, $1200 bonus if you call all 3 correct) There's no place like home?

($800 for the right name) Ka'imi Fairbairn got the longest field goal this week with a 53 yarder in the 3rd quarter for the Texans. Nobody called this one. 7) Escape from Los Angeles: Which team will rack up the most combined offensive yards (rushing and receiving) in the Chargers vs. Rams contest? ($600 for the correct answer) The Rams and it wasn't even close. 525 total yards of offense for the Rams and 367 for the Chargers.

This week appears to have a lot of good matchups. Falcons vs Saints, Pittsburgh vs Tampa Bay should be exciting. Pray for Detroit, Arizona and Buffalo

Some of the week one games seemed sloppy, so with a week under their belts the teams are surely ready to put out better results than a 21 all tie and a 47 - 3 demolishing right? Can Chicago keep that dominating defense on for 4 quarters against the Seahawks or will Wilson pull an Aaron Rodgers?

Week 1 is in the books and sees mikechorney taking the early lead! It seems a lot of us had a little too much faith in the Falcons. It wasn't pretty but your reigning Super Bowl champions managed to pull it out. -= WEEK 1 RESULTS =- Feature Game - Eagles win 18-12, beating the 3 points. Bets on the Eagles pay out. 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Eagles TD, Eagles FG, Eagles safety, Falcons TD, Falcons FG, Falcons safety, or other?

Freeman rushed for only 36 yards before going out of the game with an injury. Guesses for under 50 take it. 3) How many penalties will be thrown in the feature game? ($600 for the correct call) Week 1 saw a ton of flags thrown and this one was no exception. 26 penalties were assessed in the Feature Game. 4) Who will score the Saints' 1st touchdown this week? ($800 for the correct name, or "Nobody" if you believe that they will not score a TD this week. And by "score" I mean "the guy holding the ball in the end-zone". Only call the QB if you believe the first TD will be a rushing TD by him.) Kamara scored the Saints' first touchdown on a 5 yard run in the first quarter. 5) Call the winners: Jacksonville at New York Giants Washington at Arizona Seattle at Denver ($500 for EACH correct named game winner, $1000 bonus if you call all 3 correct) Several players called 2/3, but nobody earned the bonus. 6) How many total points will be scored in the Monday Night game (L.A. Rams at Oakland)? 0-10, 11-24, 25-36, 37-45, or 46-55 or 55+ ($600 for the correct guess) 46 points were tallied in the Rams vs Raiders contest last night. Guesses on 46-55 pay. 7) How many field goals of 50+ yards will be converted in Week 1? ($400 for the correct answer) 5 field goals of 50+ were booted this week. 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week one. ($1,000 for each player named correctly, $5,000 bonus if both names are called) James Conner takes the week 1 rushing crown with 135 yards while Jared Cook and Michael Thomas share the receiving title with 180 yards each. thewhyteboar was the only player to call one of these names (Thomas). -= LEADERBOARD =- @mikechorney - $4,500 @Alpha1Cowboy - $3,500 @Biggie - $3,500 @thewhyteboar - $3,250 @Greatoneshere - $3,000 @RedSoxFan9 - $2,900 Slug - $2,200 @BasemntDweller2 - $2,150 @Kal-El814 - $1,850 @SFLUFAN - $1,850 @Keyser_Soze - $1,400 @johnny - $1,000 Good luck to everyone in Week 2!

I decided to make this thread a bit earlier in the week. I'll probably not have internet for a couple of days plus this week you can hype yourself up to get disappointed later in the week. Games start on Thursday, let's go!

Time to bring this thread back. Starting it off classy with the (now old) Kellen Winslow Jr. news. Last time I posted it was just robberies. Now I guess he's been trying to rape 4 women over 50 years old, one 71. ? https://deadspin.com/prosecutor-kellen-winslow-jr-threatened-to-murder-wom-1826877164

The Browns My favorite bits: Amazing. Fucking amazing. I wouldn’t trust the Bengals to make a fucking mustard sandwich properly, and yet here are the analytics masters of the Browns blindly entrusting their fate to Mike Brown’s fax machine. Why, it’s almost like the Haslam family is instinctively careless with formal documentation! Did I mention that the Niners got Jimmy Garoppolo for just a second rounder?

Some of you may remember back when I did this for IGN, most of you probably don't. In any case, the stars have finally aligned in a way that I can bring this to D1P for the 2018 NFL season! The Mock Gambling Thread is a competition that is a part gambling, part predicting, and part forecasting contest. The competition lasts for the entirety of the NFL season and is open to all regular board members. Each player starts with fictitious $1,000 that you can gamble as much or as little as you like on the week's Feature Game. There are two ways to increase your cash: 1. Bet on the outcome of the Featured Game each week (with the spread). The featured game will be chosen each week from among the nationally televised games with the line set from when I post the thread. 2. There will be a number of questions that will ask you to make predictions or to forecast certain outcomes across the NFL during the week. Correct answers earn you cash. You do not lose cash for wrong answers. The types of questions will vary each week, as will the amount of cash they can earn you. The competition will continue through NFL season. At the conclusion of the Super Bowl the user with the most "cash" left will be the winner. THE RULES 1. You make your bet and answer the questions simply by posting on the thread each week with your pick for the featured game along with your bet, followed by your answers to the prediction questions. 2. Everyone starts with $1,000. If a user doesn't start until week 3, they still start with $1,000. Your best bet it to get in early and play every week. 3. If you somehow reach $0 you are not out of the competition. You can't bet on the feature game during weeks that you are broke, but you can answer the prediction questions and hope to earn cash to gamble the following week. 4. IMPORTANT: I will set a deadline for getting your entries for the week in (usually before kick-off of that week's first game). It is imperative that you make your post before the deadline.
