Gotta do better this week. Maybe this will be my perfect week. I feel sumpin.

Buffalo Bills at Detroit Lions This looks pretty good to me
Carolina Panthers at Baltimore Ravens Jamal / Air / Lewis too good
NYGiants at Atlanta Falcons I pick Vick over Eli
Houston Texans at Dallas Cowboys The 'Boys can't lose this one; not at home
Tennessee Titans at Washington Redskins TT bad team
Cincinnati Bengals at TampaBay Buccaneers Better showing for TB
Philadelphia Eagles at NewOrleans Saints This will prove NO for real
Seattle Seahawks at StLouis Rams Seahawks better team, but you gotta pick some weirdo games
Miami Dolphins at NYJets So far, M has been most disappointing
KansasCity Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers Pitt looking for blood this week
SanDiego Chargers at SanFrancisco 49ers Heart over mind
Oakland Raiders at Denver Broncos C'mon !!! 0-16 coming up?

Monday Night Tie-Breaker:
Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings 19-5 Vikings stiffen up & stop vaunted (?) Bears' offense
Oooh, now this last game's throwing me. Okay, I've got it . . . change it to Arizona over Chicago . . . rookie Leinart's second game is gonna be BIG & da Bears' defense won't give its offense a short field like in previous games. Now, the score: 23-16 . . . yeah, that sounds about right.

Crap. How the heck did that happen?

All right. Nobody panic. I'll PM anyone who already submitted picks and ask them to repost their Monday predictions. Gr. Thanks TK.

Heck... at least we know that no one is looking at other sites for their picks and they truly are picking for what they think will happen....otherwise someone would have caught it...

(Mahalo TK for bringing attention to this... you are the ultimate fanatic amongst us if none of us caught this until then)

I haven't even checked... but I'm just glad I'm ok....

Missed football today... but I think this thread was the least of any of our concerns today....
will write more when needed.

Hope everyone is ok.

Terrible week for me... 7-5 so far...

But this week wasn't meant for me from the get go...:(

Interesting Weekend... I would have had nacho's sig for a month straight... however, he is a man of his words and we did have back out clauses attatched to our agreement.

With all the excitement going on with the Earthquake.... didn't really care to much about anything....

Was kind of funny how people were calling the radio stations and reporting that the emergency that they were calling in for was that they needed a score on a game:(

manoasurfer123

October 16th, 2006, 09:05 AM

Scriv -

I know this is probably the last thing on your mind...No people... that wasn't me calling into the radio stations asking for the scores of the games yesterday either.:eek:

When you get a chance... I'd be interested in seeing your updates going into tonights Monday Night Game.

Sorry. The crazy events of this past weekend in combination with work and school make it impossible for me to get the update up now. I have tomorrow off, however, and will have everything both hunky AND dory by the time most of you have had your first cup of coffee!

That shaking and quaking you felt Monday coming from the direction of the Big Island's Kona Coast was not an aftershock of Sunday's earthquake: It was TimKona's flexing his prognosticatory muscles and his NFL acumen.

Yes, TimKona and Marco tied for the most wins with 9, but in a weird fluke I hope never happens again, Marco didn't predict a score for Monday's tie-breaker and nobody caught it (or nobody who was sporting enough to remind him!). There was a three-way tie with 8: Surfingfarmboy, SilverSurfer73, and manoasurfer123, a trio of waveriding football freaks!

Here are the results for week 6:
9 timkona
9 marco
8 manoa
8 surfingfarmboy

7 scrivener

2 blueyecicle

As always, you can check the details here (http://nfl2006.mitchellkdwyer.net).

Looks like it's still anyone's game, so if you've been watching enviously from the sidelines like a Raider fan observing every other team's fans celebrate at least one victory, well, jump on in -- at least you won't get shut out on Monday night, like a certain silver-and-black-clad team who shall remain winless. I mean nameless. Whatever.

Week 7 matchups, next post!

ps: please check your results at the external website. I'm feeling like there might be a mistake in there somewhere.

Okay, first of all, for all your haters, GO RAIDERS !!
My colors don't run. EVER !!!!!

Second.... I win....I win......wooo hooooooo !!!

I'm five back, in a 3 way tie for second, and Manoa is wearing his red undies. I might have to mix it up again. And I'm gonna post last, so's I can guestimate where the upsets might be.

My game got canceled cuz of Earthquake, but it's rescheduled for the last week after the season. We going playoffs if we win 2 more, and my squad is pumped. Best practice of the year was tonight.

PS - I wasn't there at the old Airport park in Kona at 7am, but I hear it was a mad scramble of 320 lb fathers racing (read running) to their $60,000 trucks, while their wives and children hustled to keep up, with a possible Tsunami pending, and Indonesia fresh on everybody's mind. You should be chuckling with the visual. :D

Marco

October 18th, 2006, 12:05 AM

Yes, TimKona and Marco tied for the most wins with 9, but in a weird fluke I hope never happens again, Marco didn't predict a score for Monday's tie-breaker and nobody caught it (or nobody who was sporting enough to remind him!).

Bummahs. That sucks. It would have been nice if someone here had reminded me, but I guess I can't blame anyone but myself. I didn't even know the original teams listed for the MNF game was wrong, either.

That does suck, and I'm sorry about it. I believe that under normal circumstances, we'd have caught it and I'd have been able to contact you somehow to tell you that the original matchups for Monday Night Football were wrong, but the power outage and my weeklong illness combined to allow your pick to slip through the cracks. Again, my apologies.

Nah, no worries. My fault in the first place for kooking on the tie-breaker score. Nice to get a top 2 finish, anyways. I think I've consistently been in the middle of the pack every week I've made picks, so I'm happy with 2nd place.

Oh, hope you're feeling better, too.

Guess you gotta check up on HT more often:rolleyes:
Honestly, I saw that you didn't make a Monday Night Pick.... however, I didn't have the info in my hands that would have told me that you were in the running....

Keep on playing though.... the $25.00 Prize is still up in the air to anyone who would join at this point because that prize is based upon weekly winners and we there still has been a different winner each week.

But believe me also... had I been in contention for the final day.... I would have made some sort of noise before the monday night game about your not calling the game....... however, as Timkona first said... he's out to win this sucker... So I guess it's his smarts this week to keep his mouth shut about your monday night pick..... shat hippens.

P.S. Scriv - Hope your feeling better soon.

Man, I'm not getting any better. More tweaking, I suppose, will be necessary.

Detroit Lions at NYJets After first win, Det will continue "streak"
GreenBay Packers at Miami Dolphins Can't give up on Favre; can give up on Miami
Philadelphia Eagles at TampaBay Buccaneers Nope, can't see TB extending huge win streak (one)
SanDiego Chargers at KansasCity Chiefs KC showing vs SF proving to be fluke
Carolina Panthers at Cincinnati Bengals CB on downward spiral
NewEngland Patriots at Buffalo Bills NE only 5-1/2 pt favorite?
Pittsburgh Steelers at Atlanta Falcons Toughest pick as I like Vick, but QB Big Ben really improving
Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans Easiest pick
Denver Broncos at Cleveland Browns Steady consistent D means Denver wins
Washington Redskins at Indianapolis Colts Average D results in Indy's first loss
Minnesota Vikings at Seattle Seahawks No fantastic finish for Seattle this week
Arizona Cardinals at Oakland Faders 0-16, here we come; AC won't need to depend on "Pro-Bowl" kicker

Monday Night Tie-Breaker:
NYGiants at Dallas Cowboys 30-17 TO can't repeat effort

manoasurfer123

October 22nd, 2006, 02:25 PM

The way I see it right now... If Dallas wins over NY tomorrow... Marco would be the outright winner for the week.

If NY wins... then it goes down to the tie-breaker between Scriv and Surfingfarmboy.

This is no official tally... however, with the lack of football last week cause of the Quake... I've been extra attentive this week...:rolleyes:
(and doesn't it figure...my worst week yet):o

scrivener

October 22nd, 2006, 03:30 PM

Manoa's (mostly) right. If Dallas wins tomorrow night's game, Marco wins the week at 7-6 by tiebreaker. If the Giants win, it will come down to me and Surfingfarmboy, who will both be at 8-5. I picked the Giants by 14; Surfingfarmboy picked them by 1. This means that if the Giants win by 8 or more, I win the week. If the Giants win by 7 or fewer, Surfingfarmboy wins the week.

Crazy week in the NFL, but at least the Raiders finally got in the W column.

The Random-Pick Generator actually has a chance to "win" the week, but it's not an official contestant and therefore doesn't count.

Go Raiders !! Serves me right. Who woulda thunk it after AZ nearly beat CHI?? Parity in the NFL?

Atlanta kinda saved my bacon this week. But Scriv is a force to reckon with. Home field advantage? It's his contest, let him win.

manoasurfer123

October 22nd, 2006, 09:42 PM

With all due respect to scrivener...

I would kind of like to see Marco win it this week after his near win and misunderstanding of the MNF rules last week....

With the earthquake last weekend... no one gave him a heads up...and I'm pretty sure most of us would have...

Besides.... if Marco wins this week... we have 7 weeks of complete different winners...thus leaving this contest that much more interesting....

But in the long run if Scrivener does win it... I think that would be cool because he's doing the most work for this.... (however, it would be even cooler if I won:p )

I just realized surfing farmboy hasn't gotten a weekly win either... so if NY wins tonight... I hope he beats Scriv in the tiebreaker... just to keep things even amongst us and to encourage others to still join in.

But, I sure hope Dallas can comeback in this game right now.:(

But one still has to feel for marco on his MNF screw up last week.

Monday Night:
Minnesota over New England, 23-10.

It just occurred to me that the Random-Pick Generator doesn't know who won the games in the early part of the season, so I'm (sometime in the near future) going to have it predict winners for the games in weeks 1 through 4.

Man, some of these picks were tough. I'm almost surely wrong about the Bengals beating the Ravens, but I just have a feeling. I also wouldn't be shocked if the 49ers beat the Vikings. Picking the Steelers over the Broncos and the Patriots over the Colts is just my way of saying that I am an idiot. I'm going with my gut on these, and while that's not usually a good idea, it's been good enough lately.

Here are this week's picks from the Random-Pick Generator:
St.Louis
NYGiants
Jacksonville
NewOrleans
Washington
Chicago
Buffalo
Cincinnati
Atlanta
Minnesota
Pittsburgh
Cleveland
NewEngland
Seattle over Oakland, 24-9.

The Random-Pick Generator is no longer my son.

Other thoughts:
Manoa and I differ on 3 picks (Cincy/Baltimore, Pitt/Denver, and Oakland/Seattle), meaning that one of us will be ahead of the other at the end of this week's games.

oceanpacific (two back in the cumulative game) differs with me on 4 and with manoa on 3. There are a lot of possible scenarios here, but I believe one of them involves oceanpacific taking first.

In a 17-week season with staggered byes, there is no real midpoint anymore, so let's call this week the halfway point and in that other NFL thread, start a discussion about first-half awards. I'll start the post and we'll have at it.

Surfingfarmboy

November 5th, 2006, 02:21 AM

Scriv! Maybe you can help me on this one question...it was something I was pondering during a boring 20 mile training run yesterday, in preparation for the marathon.

How many unique combinations of winners are there to be picked among all the NFL games played during, say, a weekend with 16 games scheduled? What's the formula for this? I'm guessing that the number must be huge, but like I said, I'm having a tough time trying to come up with the formula for this.

What I do know is that there are 16 possible outcomes that can be determined from a pool of 32 teams, but I don't think the formula for this is the basic combination formula, which is of course is n!/(n-j)!j! We have to calcluate all the possible outcomes where the first possible outcome of the set of 16 to be determined will ultimately affect the entire set of the number of all possible combinations.

For instance, this week Oakland is playing Seattle. Eliminating the possibility of a tie, either Oakland or Seattle will win. If this was the only game played during the weekend, there would be two possible outcomes...Oakland or Seattle. Now let's say we have to pick Indy and New England. I can calculate four possible outcomes of winners: Oak/Indy, Oak/NE, Seattle/Indy, and Seattle/NE.

With this in mind, is the formula for this question possibly as simple as 2 raised to the x power where x is the number of games played during the weekend? In a standard 16 game weekend, is the answer to my question possibly as simple as 2 raised to the 16th power?

Also, if we were to determine all possible outcomes, with ties thrown into the formula (in theory, all 16 games played can end in ties), would that formula be 3 raised to the x power, where x = the number of games played during a weekend?

scrivener

November 5th, 2006, 02:52 AM

I'm getting chicken-skin. I love when my friends ask questions like this. If only my students would ask these things, I'd be a happy human.

What you're proposing is the classic lunch-order problem. If for a meal you can choose from water, Coke, and Gatorade for a drink, and between veggie and tofu for a sandwich, you have three choices of one thing and two of another.

Your possible lunches, assuming you pick one from each category, are:
water, veggie
water, tofu
Coke, veggie
Coke, tofu
Gatorade, veggie
Gatorade, tofu

What it works out to is the number of choices of drinks multiplied by the number of choices of sandwiches. In this case, 3 x 2 = 6 possible lunches.

Simply, for each choice of drinks, you have one of the choices of sandwiches. Watch what happens if you add a fourth drink, beer:

water, veggie
water, tofu
Coke, veggie
Coke, tofu
Gatorade, veggie
Gatorade, tofu
beer, veggie
beer, tofu

In this case, 4 x 2 =8 possible lunches.

What happens if we add one possible soup, miso?

water, veggie, miso
water, tofu, miso
Coke, veggie, miso
Coke, tofu, miso
Gatorade, veggie, miso
Gatorade, tofu, miso
beer, veggie, miso
beer, tofu, miso

The number of possible lunches has not changed, because when we multiply the number of choices for drinks by the number of choices of sandwiches AND the number of choices of soup (one in this example), we get 4 x 2 x 1, or 8 choices. Adding a second choice of soup, pea, we get:

water, veggie, miso
water, veggie, pea
water, tofu, miso
water, tofu, pea
Coke, veggie, miso
Coke, veggie, pea
Coke, tofu, miso
Coke, tofu, pea
Gatorade, veggie, miso
Gatorade, veggie, pea
Gatorade, tofu, miso
Gatorade, tofu, pea
beer, veggie, miso
beer, veggie, pea
beer, tofu, miso
beer, tofu, pea

Now we have four choices, two choices, and two choices, or 4 x 2 x 2, or 16 possible lunches.

So with the football teams, in a full week of 16 games, not counting the possiblity of ties, you have 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2, or 65,536 outcomes. In this case, 2 to the 16th power works, but that's basically because you have the same number of choices in each game. Don't remember the problem that way, or you'll have problems with examples like the one I gave. Remember instead that you multiply the number of outcomes in each of the instances (or choices).

And yes, if you count ties, it's 3^16, which is a huge number.

November 5th, 2006, 12:12 PM

Wow...thank you, Scriv, for the explanation! I have to admit, I'm going to have to study your complete analysis to completely understand when other "unrelated" variables, that is a variable or choice that be can be realized independent of the outcome (or choice) of other variables, affects the overall number of combinations that can be calculated.

It appears as if this is very similar to calculating the number of standard license plates that could be had in Hawaii, assuming the full range of plates issued is comprised of a pool of alpha/numeric characters beginning at AAA000 and ending with ZZZ999. I'm thinking in this instance, the answer would be 26 raised to the third power then muliplied by 10 raised to the third power. ( In this calculation, I am not including in the pool non-standard plates like AA000 or number only plates.)

I know this is the NFL Pick'em Thread, but I think this explanation you've put forth is relevant to the thread to demonstrate to all interested, (and especially to those who might have thought in the past that there was/might be excessive pick replication among the players), that there are thousands of unique possible outcomes that exist for any given weekend in the NFL. Most of the possible outcomes are highly unlikely to occur, and all of us are trying to use our handicapping skills to increase our odds of winning by eliminating the more unlikely outcomes. It's interesting that out of the thousands of combinations that can be validly chosen for a given week, most of our picks are fairly close to each other, with usually no more than 2 or 3 picks the difference between each other.

Surfingfarmboy

November 5th, 2006, 12:56 PM

Also, in regards to your explaination of how to calculate total possible outcomes: Don't think for one moment that I have not taken into consideration your thoughtful choices of food available for me to choose from. Tofu? Veggies? Miso? I'm certain the choices available are so by careful design!

Wow. Crazy week.

If Oakland wins tomorrow, it will come down to a tie-break between OceanPacific and nachodaddy (marco and PalamaKid will also have 8 but will have chosen the wrong team in the tie-break). A margin of victory of 4 or fewer and oceanpacific wins. A margin of victory of 6 or more and nachodaddy wins. A margin of victory of exactly 5 means everything depends on Oakland's final score. If Oakland scores 22 or fewer, oceanpacific wins. If oakland scores 23 or more, nachodaddy wins. Whew!

If Seattle wins tomorrow, it will be between PalamaKid and marco in the tie-break. A margin of victory of 15 or fewer will give marco the win; 16 or more gives it to PalamaKid.

Crazy week. Interim update later tonight.

Palamakid chose the Hawks to win...therefore he couldn't win the tiebreaker if Oakland has to win the game... by your criteria...

All would be 8-6 However, Palamakid would've have lost the Monday Game...so that rules him out...doesn't it?

As has been made evident, the Raiders' beating at the hands of that team that will not be named by 16 points cemented PalamaKid's victory for Week 9!

I told you that your picks were genius for how long now???

So what you did...steal PZ's picking parrot after he left the game?

Okay! As has been made evident, the Raiders' beating at the hands of that team that will not be named by 16 points cemented PalamaKid's victory for Week 9!

And to think, all last week, I was stuck in Las Vegas (wanted to know how Halloween is celebrated there - very disappointing) & didn't have access to all my technological sources.

Although wireless access at all the libraries did help, I missed sooo many games. How could I have missed da Bears losing at home to da "only-perfect" Fish???

And Ryan not supposed to tell about my using his parrot.

But Miami will beat KC and Chi will Beat NYG... so hopefully it doesn't come down to the tie breaker.

If somehow we split those games... (to avoid having to go down to the dreaded Rock, Paper, Scissors) I will change my score to:

I felt it fair as he posted his first... (even though I didn't notice what he posted until after I posted mine)
And in all fairness... aren't you considered the cumulative leader in this game if we are actually going by the amount of weeks won?

Sorry for the confusion... I didn't think this week was going to be so close and down to the wire.

I will stick with the original 24-17 pick I guess...Carolina.

I really don't think it's going to come down to that though.

Yes. Well. I'm quite certain that TimKona won the week (putting him in a tie with me with two weekly wins), but the extended schedule (16 games instead of the 13 or 14 we've been having) means tweaking my spreadsheet a little. As you can see from the previous stats pages, there's room on the sheet for those extra games, but the formulae weren't copied and I think I have to do it manually, since I used fixed-cell references in the sheet. Give me until tomorrow, please.

I'll post new matchup tomorrow, too.

Thanks for the concern, everybody. The combination of being sick in bed for the past two days with a cold AND my neighbor's WiFi signal crapping out on me spelled my doom. So I'm pretty much out of the cumulative game, but still in it for the weekly game, of course.

Sorry I haven't even posted the stats for last week. I'll get everything caught up Monday, I swear. It's going to be a crazy week, with the Thanksgiving holiday and a million things I have to do for work and school, but I hope to get a grip on stuff soon.

I'll post Week 11 matchups right after the Monday game, and yes, picks will be due by 6:00 Thursday morning!

I'm really annoyed with myself because I knew Dallas was going to beat Indianapolis. And how's my boy Chad Johnson?

You can still attempt to pick up a game this weekend with the Monday Night game if you still in it...

(and because your the games admin... and I think you would have done fairly well... this week...) I would have no problem having you calculate the amount of wins you get weekly and then averaging that and adding that to your cumulative score....

Would anyone else have a problem with that?:confused:

Well, I don't have a problem with it, but that sounds kind of retarded to me. If the commish of any of my fantasy leagues was allowed to do something like that, there'd be a huge uproar. Not a big deal, though. I'm not in the running in the cumulative league, so it doesn't affect me one way or the other. Just giving my two cents.

I had a funny feeling about my 'Niners this Sunday. They still suck, but, still .... FIVE wins already! They're definitely over-achieving.

Auntie, I've been a 49er fan for over half-a-century. From the days of Leo "the Lion" Nomellini, voted as one of the greatest NFL stars of the first half-century. Leo was also a professional wrestler during the off-season. Y. A. Tittle, John Brodie, Hugh McElhenny, R. C. Owens, Billy Kilmer, etc.
