ArmchairGM Prediction League (APL) - Preseason Week 2

13
Vote

by Manny Stiles

Results from Preseason Week 1 are in and it's time to predict Preseason Week number 2!

Points accumulated during the Preseason will not count once the season begins. YES< you can still join! Follow the bouncing ball, and you're in...

The Inaugural Season of APL runs through the Super Bowl and Playoffs conclude with the March Madness Invitational in April 2008. If you cannot commit to the entire season - DON'T JOIN!!!
The Inaugural Season of APL runs through the Super Bowl and Playoffs conclude with the March Madness Invitational in April 2008. If you cannot commit to the entire season - DON'T JOIN!!!

Here's APL Preseason Week 2

a

Three predictions, no spread. You choose the winner only! Remember, just put the winner's name next to a value of 1, 2 or 3 points, using each value only once. Here's the available NFL matchups to choose from (no bitching about which games are available):

(If you don't know what the abbreviations mean, you can't play.)


Due to the limited availability of weekend games, you will only have until Thursday, 6pm ET to submit your predictions (This will not happen during the real season) and there is a shortened list to choose from this week:

  • ARI v DEN
  • OAK v SEA
  • SF v SD
  • BAL v ATL
  • IND v CIN


b

Just like last week - This is the section where you'd pick a player for their Yahoo fantasy stats x .10.

But no fantasy stats are worth a damn in preseason, so we'll do this:

Pick any team listed above as the team you think will score the most points.

You then will recieve their score x .10 towards your total.

c

The Three (I, II, III) wildcard predictions (valued 1, 2 or 3 points, your choice) are as follows (remember, this is a Prediction League, not a Guessing League)

I - Which team will hit more Home Runs in the Devil Rays - Yankees series this weekend? Use either NYY or TBD to note your selection (tie breakers: 1)which team has more extra base hits, 2) which team has a higher slugging pct for the series- then in descending order of hits, total bases, pitches faced and if neccessary, which home market TV station got a higher combined ratings)



II - Pick a NASCAR driver in this weekend's Sharp AQUOS 500 at California Speedway. If your pick finishes within the top 4 (Four), you are correct. OK, here's the link to help you a bit, sissies...



III - Who will win this weekend's TWO Western Conference Finals games between the Phoenix Mercury and San Antonio? There are two games - so you can pick only PHX, SA or Tie (remember to assign a point value on your choices) More help for the sissies


Remember to assign these values of 1, 2 or 3 (like section a)

This is a PRESEASON exercise, no scoring will count except for comprising a value as to how cool you are compared to the other kids.

Happy Predicting! You have until Thursday evening 12:00 MST to make your entries (feel free to stand back and watch THIS ROUND ONLY) next week begins the real deal (even though it's Pre-Season too)

Add your team name first, then your choices as such in comments

like so....

Manny Stiles' Gang of Weird Shift Buttons:

SD3, SEA2, ARI1 - SEA - PHX3, Carl Edwards2, TBD1

well done - 1st correct entry gets you some amount of points to be determined later - and while I admire your testicular fortitude, Stoner doesn't stand a chance!

He's won 7 out of 12 races this year, including the last two... He's been dominant this year. Also, Misano is a fast sweeping circuit. It will be easy for the Ducati, which is usually high powered down the straight. Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki are not up to the task at the moment.

Adding the "pts/pt" to represent points is kinda a waste of time. It's not really points you're accumulating but cosmos energy portions. Your fingers only get so many taps on the keyboard in your life, don't waste them frivolously... Just saying.

If you change it to "Who's Playing for Second", does that mean you are conceding that the best you will do is third?

Fourth is the second third, but third is the second loser! Keep your seconds, the season is MONTHS long... patience is more than a second long.
