Bootiest FG (no one kicks barefoot now, do they?) Jason Sanders
Yawniest game Lions @ Bears

You can already award me the 2021 Pantsiest Bonus Pick for Rondale Moore last week (2 receptions, 1 yard gained, 1 fumble). His numbers in Weeks 1 and 2 looked beguiling, but the shallowness of my NFL nous was cruelly exposed.

[ursus arctos]

Panthers @ Cowboys - Cowboys by 1 score (McCaffrey's absence proving fatal for Carolina)
Titans @ Jets - Titans by 2 scores (Tennessee would win much bigger with their regular receivers)
Chiefs @ Eagles - Chiefs by 3 scores
Colts @ Dolphins - Dolphins by 1 score
Football Team @ Falcons - Washington by 1 score
Lions @ Bears - Bears by 1 score

Younghoe Koo (there hasn't been a barefoot kicker for 20+ years, but Koo is good and will be kicking indoors in turf)
Lions @ Bears (could be one of the worse in a series that has seen more than 180 games)

Thanks for making me feel better about my 'Hollywood' Brown pick, who then proceeded to spend the entirely of the first half dropping things.


Courtesy reminder for jason voorhees and caja-dglh. Will the latter be brave enough to go for all home teams this time?

Needless to say, new participants are also welcome. Still 15 regular season games left, so plenty of time to catch up.

Seibert (cos neither team will achieve jack)

Lions Bears will stink

[ursus arctos]

The lowest scoring game pick looks like it will be going down to the wire

[lambers]

Not sure about that Ursus, Browns - Vikings are 15* down on the next contender with less than 7 minutes to go.

The thread's titular team are currently shocking the Titans, which would make us all wrong on this match.


*Ok, 12 as the Browns just got a field goal.

[ursus arctos]

Ah, foiled by the convoluted rules again.

I read it as lowest score in the six listed games, which would be close.

I did not expect Matt Ryan to be able to filet Washington so effectively. Koo has only had one chance, an early chip shot.

[lambers]

Ah sorry about that. Any suggestions on how I can improve the wording to be clearer? You're not been alone in misinterpreting things, so I need to do better!

[ursus arctos]

It is much more my reading than your wording, though I am probably not alone in expecting the universe of matches for the first question to apply equally to the second.

Im not sure any of us would have picked Browns-Vikings if you had offered an incentive

[lambers]

Everyone is still reeling from the awakening of New York, which will surely have two 14-3 teams come January, but I've recovered enough to finalise this week's report:

The results
Cowboys beat Panthers by one score.
Jets toppled Titans by one score.
Chiefs beat Eagles by two scores.
Colts beat Dolphins by two scores.
WFT beat Falcons by one score.
Bears looked competent in beating Lions by one score.

He missed the game tying Field Goal for the Titans, but earlier in the match Randy Bullocked a 46 yarder between the sticks.
The game between Browns and Vikings had by far the lowest points with just 21.

The OTF scores for week 4


For the third time there are joint winners, but we are yet to have anyone repeat. This week it's ad hoc and lambers, who each get to bask in the MetLife glow.

In the rolling totals, ad hoc leap-frogs Kevin and the two of them now have a small buffer over the chasing pack.

Poster	Total Points
ad hoc	31
Kevin S	30
Southport Zeb	26
caja-dglh	25
ursus arctos	25

nmrfox	22

Randy Bullock's a mighty fine name.
If I take next week off entirely I won't do much worse than this one - following my trend so far (5-4-3-1) I'm expecting zero anyway. Maybe it's time to make my predictions then reverse every single one of them.

[jason voorhees]

Alright, I'll be setting an alarm from now on.

Picks! Get your picks in! Pick early and often once!

10th October, week five games: three more new teams to the predictor. Only one team yet to feature, has anybody else been keeping track?

• Packers @ Bengals
• Dolphins @ Buccaneers
• Broncos @ Steelers
• Patriots @ Texans
• Titans @ Jaguars
• Saints @ Football Team

Bonus picks

• Player with the most receiving yards in the six games listed above (stats according to nfl.com) – in the event of a yardage tie, the tiebreaker will be most receptions by the same runner, and then most touchdowns, before sharing the spoils.
• Game with the most successful field goals of the six above (stats according to nfl.com) – not including the other games to keep things clean from now on – in the event of a tie, the tiebreaker will be least missed field goals and then successful PAT kicks, before sharing the spoils.

All predictions to be in by 1 pm ET on Sunday 10th October to count, and not edited after that time (with minor allowances made if I'm feeling nice).

Well done! Seahawks indeed. They aren't scheduled to play early Sunday until week 14, I'm regretting skipping them in week 1.
