2010 NN Prediction Contest: Week 1 Prediction Games

by David Fucillo on Sep 11, 2010 8:25 PM PDT

Fooch's Note: Don't forget to get your predictions in.

Tomorrow night the 2010 NFL season kicks off with the Vikings and the Saints on NBC. The rest of week 1 gets going on Sunday, culminating with a pair of Monday Night battles. Accordingly, it is time once again for the annual prediction contest hosted here at Niners Nation.

The contest remains the same as last year, but unfortunately howtheyscored will no longer be handling the scoring of the game. We've arranged for bignerd to join the team and help us out in determining final scores each week. Other than that, nothing has changed. For those who have never been involved, I will pick six games each week and you will predict the final score of each game. The games will include the 49ers game, any SNF and MNF games, and then a couple others to round things out. Aside from the playoffs we won't use any Thursday or Saturday games for the most part.

I've posted the formatting rules required for posting your results. Please read over that (it's fairly short) so we can have consistency in the posting. All times are pacific and you are not required to predict every game, but obviously it helps your chances of winning to predict all the games. If you forget to pick the Sunday morning games, you can always predict whatever games remain on the slate.

Once again, please review the formatting rules after the jump before posting your results.

49ers @ Seattle - Sunday 9/12 1:15pm

Baltimore @ NY Jets - MNF 9/13 4:00pm

San Diego @ Kansas City - MNF 9/13 7:15pm

Dallas @ Washington - SNF 9/12 5:20pm

Cincinnati @ New England - Sunday 9/12 10:00am

Indianapolis @ Houston - Sunday 9/12 10:00am

IMPORTANT RULE
We implemented this rule last season and it seemed to make things easier for us. Previously, folks had just posted their scores in any particular fashion, although howtheyscored had made requests for a specific format. Given the amount of time and effort howtheyscored has to put into determining the final results, I am implementing a requirement for how to format your scores (based on the spreadsheet howtheyscored has created). If you fail to follow this format, any incorrectly formatted scores for the week will be disqualified. The format is "Team A @ Team B: A score - B score." That basically is visitor @ home: visitor score - home score." Here's an example of how to do it:

Using Indianapolis @ Houston below, if you think Houston will win 24-14, here's how it needs to appear:

Indianapolis @ Houston: 14 - 24

If you think Indianapolis will win 24-14, it needs to appear as this:

Indianapolis @ Houston: 24 - 14

If you'd like you can bold the winner (Indianapolis @ Houston: 14 - 24), but that is not required (although probably a good backup in case you reversed the score by accident.

If you make a mistake in the formatting I'll reply to your score reminding you to correct it. To correct it, simply reply to your picks and post them in the correct format. Do not post your scores again at the bottom of the thread. I'll make sure and include these directions each week so people do not forgot and lose out on points.

If anybody has any questions at all about this, or anything related to the contest, let me know (ninersnation@gmail.com) and I'll answer them.

Me being a Saints Fan

I have had several superstitions or rituals (nothing Voodoo related – Aint from that far down da bayou), but there have been times that when I pick the Saints, they lose, and times when I don’t pick them they win. I purposefully didn’t pick the Saints to win any games in 2006, and they went to the NFCCG. Last year, I picked them every game, and the won a Superbowl. I also have this thing where I won’t go watch them live anymore. I have beent to 5 games and seen them win once, against Green Bay, in 2008. Maybe this is just his ritual.

I’ve been to two 49ers games and they were both last year. I went to the season opener in AZ and the season closer in STL. The 49ers won both of those games and they were the only two road wins they had last year. Anyone want to pay for me to go to all the road games this year? It’s pretty obvious that I need to be there for them to win the road games.

Makes sense.

When it’s the end of the first quarter and we are up 34-0, Raye will just call QB Kneels for the rest of the game, while Manusky plays a five man defense. Somehow we manage to score another TD before the end of the game.

Washington holds off a two minute drill and intercepts romo in endzone. Houston kicks last second field goal to upset colts. New england kicks last minute field goal to beat cinci. <- that game is closer than it should be.

by zacksf on Sep 11, 2010 11:18 AM PDT reply actions

Tough game to play

Jets are sporadic atm and have a really questionable offense. Ravens have a GREAT setup on offense this year but without Ed Reed at Safety, the back end is pretty open for the Jets.. assuming Sanchez can throw it that far or isn’t crippled early by a Ray Lewis blitz through where Faneca was.

Just to note,

49ers should throttle a rookie coach that has playdoh for a roster. Baltimore will put up more points than the Jets can handle and Revis will be beaten up by Anquan Boldin. San Diego suffers for Vincent Jackson and LT’s loss while Crayton shines a bit in his new role, however the SD defense gets rolled over by Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles while Cassel enjoys the first peace and quiet he’s seen yet in a Chiefs jersey. Romo puts up a great fight but a long drive in OT by McNabb seals the win on a field goal. Cincy and NE put on a scorefest as NE’s secondary can’t cover all the threats for the Bengals so Brady and company turn up the heat themselves and torch Cincy and, in particular, Pacman and Roy Williams for huge gains. Indy suffers an early loss due to line transition and inconsistent receivers while quiet little Houston with a healthy Schaub and Co. turn on the heat for a show for the home crowd.
