Edgar made his picks a few days ago. I neglected to write them down.
Rhys chimed in via email last evening:
Cincy (17-14)
New Orleans (24-10)
Atlanta (24-14)
Pittsburgh (31-20) -he concedes that 51 total may be much too high.

@thack45,

Thanks, thack, for joining in. We have gotten several new players. That is good. I still need picks from the regular players plus, of course, we always welcome newbies.
Today has turned out to be a rough day for me. I hope that tomorrow and Sunday will give me time to sort stuff out.

23 players in for the wild card games that begin in a few minutes with the Bengals @ Houston.
That game is turning out to be a tossup here with 12 of us thinking Houston will win.
Still a few minutes for last minute picks.
AndyClubber and I were talking about the "average" final score in NFL games. Neither of us had any idea.
I do note that in our projected final scores in this afternoon's game, we have the "average" (mean, median and mode) for the winning team as being right around 24. The projected losing team comes in at about 16 or 17. The mode is 13.

@Region Philbis,

Cripes!! A female commentator has popped up. We get it a lot but I thought you Yanks could resist it like our cricket is managing to do.

One has to wonder whether that famous American institution known as the "casting couch" has anything to do with it. Cricketers are noted for their aesthetic sensibilities regarding that sort of thing.

@spendius,

American Football had a female commentator in 1975. Nothing new in that.

31-10 Houston over Cincy. 12 of us (you, actually) each get 2 points. You get to wear one of those paste on green stars on your forehead to the office or classroom on Monday.
AndyClubber and Osso had the winning team scoring 28 points. Andy had the losing team at 14 vs Osso picking 27. Andy picks up one point there. He had Cincy so it is not all that great of a start for him.
On average, we thought the score would be 22-16.

@realjohnboy,

Coming up next is the Lions battling the Saints. Only Soupkitchen, whom only some of you all know, has Detroit.
We predict, on average, a final score of 33-22. A bit more offense than in the 1st game.

I picked the Saints but I'm for Detroit.
So it goes..

The term "casting couch" may be of american origin, but to believe that it is an american institution - or that nowhere else in the world do people whore themselves out like americans - would be about as ridiculous as thinking that the NFL has only recently employed female commentators. And 'round here, cricketers are rarely noted.

Sorry
