Put a bet on that. Get cracking odds.

I dont think much to the new Madden so far



Im hoping it will get better or I have just wasted £30

They're always hard at first, get used to them though. look's like Moss is going in a sulk mate.

Im normally quite fast at getting used to them, its probably just me I will be addicted in a few days



I dont blame him TBH he should have a new deal by now with the production he has given us in his time here!! But he should know that the QB comes first.

Are we having a prediction comp?
I'm sure one you student types has enough time on your hands to manage it? Might be easier if you just selected 5 games to pick from.

How about each of the weekly televised games, sky, channel 4 and ESPN??

I'm more than happy to manage it.

What are the rules? Pick the winner for each game and you get a point for every correct winner predicted.

Yeah, do the tv games.

Im looking forward to coming in from Wigan's victory over Leeds and hopping online to find a stream of Oakland - Tennessee.

Where the Titans hand the Raiders their backsides on a plate.

I did one on here last year but I can't be ar$ed doing it and working out the results again



I'll get on Yahoo later when I get back from work and I'll find the Pick'Em game, set up a league and post a link on here if people are interested.

I assume most people will prefer the spread format rather than simply picking a winner...?

Ok.

Here we go then guys, these are the televised games according to NFLUK.com, predict the winner. Obviously 1 point for predicting the correct winner and i'll keep the scores each week and report back!



Vikings @ Saints (Sky)
Panthers @ Giants (Sky)
49ers @ Seahawks (Sky)
Cowboys @ Redskins (4)
Ravens @ Jets (ESPN)
Chargers @ Chiefs (ESPN)

EDIT: If people would rather do what Adam suggested above (personally i would) then just ignore this.

Vikings @ Saints (Sky) SAINTS

Ok, I've set up a group. If you go to football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem you can join the league. The ID is 59748 and the password is nfl. I've also done a Survival League which you'll find at football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/survival. The ID is 25752 and the password is nfl. You pick one team each week that you definitely think will win. If you're right then you progress through to the next week, if you're wrong then you're eliminated. You can't pick a team more than once during the course of the season.

I'm in the pick em league but i have absolutely no idea what i'm picking.

For example it says Vikes @ Saints. Saints favourites and then 5.0 as the final. So does that mean if i select NO that for me to be correct they have to win by 5 or more and obviously if i select the Vikes if they win or NO win by less than 5 i'm correct.

Is that right?

TBH in the RLFans league my team picks itself. 3 of my bench are suspended so I have no room for manouevre. All my headaches are in the other leagues I'm in where my teams are infinitely better!


I'll sign up to the pick em leagues and all that jazz after tea.

Almost, but you're basically right. However, if New Orleans win by exactly 5 then it's called a 'push' and nobody gets awarded a point. I like doing it like this because it adds an element of difficulty, especially with games that are considered as a gimme for certain teams.

Can i get anybodys thoughts on the following possible Madden trade. I'm the Rams and the offer on the table is Jackson and Laurinaitis for Mayo, Edelman, Maroney and the Pats 1st round pick. Laurinaitis and Mayo essentially cancel each other out. Just don't know whether to pull the trigger or not.

Ah, ok. So i select NO they win by 5.1 and I win. I select the Vikes and they lose by 4.9 or win and my pick was right.



Just thought i'd double check before i make a fool of myself with some terrible picks.

Personally i'd say no.

Like you say Mayo and Laurinaitis cancel out each other. Maroney is terrible, Edleman is OK so it just depends really how much you want the 1st round pick compared to how highly you rate Jackson. Personally though i'd never trade my best player- in the Rams case- Jackson.

Madden trade? Are you in an online franchise?
Also have you seen Maroney complaining about his stats on the new Madden? Clearly hasn't found the edit button

I've just done mine and the first week is always really difficult as you have it set in your mind that certain teams are better than others based on the previous season and there are always those opening weekend shocks.

Can't wait until Sunday now. I was going to stay up and watch tomorrow night take Friday off work but I've got to be in court at 10.30am

Yeah it's an online franchise. I'm not going to win this season so the idea is to try and win in the future. Edelman will turn out to be a good receiver and Mayo is quality. The 1st round pick will give me two in the first and thus I would probably have 3 picks in the first 70. Should be able to get 3 80ish rated players with that. I don't want to lose Jackson but theres no point being strong in one area and weak elsewhere.

Mother f*****!!!

Just realised Wigan v Leeds clashes with Bucs v Browns, and i've got a ticket for the game.



I'd have much preferred to stay home and watched the Bucs too. Im actually feeling gutted now.

Why would you want to watch them 2 sacks of sjit instead of Wigan and Leeds





BTW the EA servers are starting to do my head in kicking me off, I was looking forward to kicking your ass on Madden aswell
