NFL Forum Bet

Same post from last year:
I am making a forum bet from an idea from Maple. Basically if you follow American Football, pick your favorite team, list it here. The team that has the best record at the end of the REGULAR season will get the Forum decorated for their team.(If this works out, we might do if for other sports.)
To get in on the bet, post your team's name here.

Teams in the Bet:
1) Saints(11-5-0): Freak
2) Eagles(10-5-0): Monkey
3) Buccaneers(10-6-0): Wind
4) Giants(9-6-0): Nips
5) Titans(6-9-0): Maple
6) 49ers(5-10-0): Monk
*16 Games are in the regular season...strike through means they can NOT win the forum bet.
**Only Eagles or Saints can win it. Eagles, at best, with a win, tie Saints.

**Rules for tie breakers.**
1) IF there was a inter-bet game, reguardless of who you played, you get the lead if you win, a disadvantage if you lose.
-Example: Say the Colts, Steelers, and Cardinals are all 10-3. BUT the Colts beat the Cardinals 2 weeks ago. The teams don't, and didn't, have any other games vs eachother. The Colts would be ranked ahead of the two teams while the Cardinals would be third.
2) If the teams faced no other teams on the bet OR they have equal inter-bet match up then they are placed in ABC order.
3) IF teams end the season in a tie for first place, THE WILL BOTH GET THE PRIZE! THE TIE BREAKER RULES ONLY APPLY TO HAVE A WAY TO ORDER THE TEAMS, NOT TO CHANGE THE RESULT OF THE BET!

*Chim Rival Matches*
ONLY APPLY FOR RULE 1 OF THE TIE BREAKER
1) Titans: 2-0 (beat Giants than Eagles)
2) Eagles: 3-1 (beat the 49ers and the Giants(twice) but lost to the Titans)
3) Saints: 2-1 (beat 49ers and Bucs and lost to the Bucs(second match up))
4) Bucs: 1-1 (beat 49ers and lost to Saints)
5) Giants: 0-3 (lost to the Titans and the Eagles(twice))
5) 49ers: 0-3 (lost to the Saints, Bucs and the Eagles)

I Vote For Tampa Bay.

Oh my. The Bucs lead ATM.

Monkey

Giants...

Just as a quick reminder. Tomorrow is the Week 3 Match Ups:

The leading team(Wind's Buccaneers) will take on the undefeated Steelers. Both teams are 2-0 going into this game. This game is at 1:00 PM USA East Coast Time. This game will be at Raymond James Stadium so Wind's Buccaneers do get the home field advantage. If they can pull off the win they can ensure that they hold first place in the bet.

Also at 1:00 PM USA East Coast Time we'll have a 'Chimchar Rivalry Match' between Maple's Titans and Nips Giants. This game is at the New Medowlands Stadium so this gives Nips Giants the home field advantage. The winner of this game will get ahead of the other team and possibly tied for first if Wind's Buccaneers lose.

Finally at 4:05 PM USA East Coast Time Monkey's Eagles take on the Jaguars. Both teams are 1-1 so the Eagles need a win to not fall down to a tie for last with the loser of the Titans @ Giants game. The game is at EverBank Field so the Eagles will be on the road.

Our Teams Standings:
1) Buccaneers(2-0-0): Wind
2) Eagles(1-1-0): Monkey
2) Giants(1-1-0): Nips
2) Titans(1-1-0): Maple

Our Teams Division Standings(note if they get first place they make the playoffs and get a mention if they win or lose):
Buccaneers-Tied for first with the Saints.
Eagles-Tied for first with the Redskins and Giants.
Giants-Tied for first with the Redskins and Eagles.
Titans-Tied for second with the Colts and Jaguars.
**IF THE SEASON ENDED NOW THE TITANS AND BUCCANEERS WOULD BE THE ONLY ONES IN THE PLAYOFFS(Eagles and Giants lose their tie breaker and Titans are a "Wild Card")**

Monkey

Eagles and Titans won, while the Bucs lost so they are all tied in the bet for first. The Giants lost which throws them in last place, but only 1 win behind the others.

Monkey

49'ers

Just as a quick reminder. Today is the Week 4 Match Ups:

First game of the week is the Titans vs the 1-2 Broncos. The game is at 1 pm USA East Coast time at LP Stadium so the Titans get home field advantage. If the Titans can pull off the win they can keep the lead in our forum bet, at worse being tied for first.

Also at 1 USA East Coast time we have the 49ers playing against the 2-1 Falcons. The game is at Georgia Dome so the Falcons will have the home field advantage. The 49ers really could use a to try and mount a come back in the bet.

At 4:15 pm USA East Coast time we have the Eagles taking on division rival in the Washington Redskins. Donavan McNabb returns to Lincoln Financial Field to take on his former team. The Eagles will have the home field advantage and could use a win to hold onto first place both in the division and in the forum bet.

Finally at 8:20 pm USA East Coast time tonight against to undefeated Bears. The Giants really need a win to stay alive in the first half of the forum bet. The Giants do get the home field being the game is at the New Meddowlands Stadium.

The Buccaneers have the week off this week so they could lose their first place spot if the Eagles and Titans both lose.

Our Teams Standings:
1) Buccaneers(2-1-0): Wind
1) Titans(2-1-0): Maple
1) Eagles(2-1-0): Monkey
4) Giants(1-2-0): Nips
5) 49ers(0-3-0): Monk

Our Teams Division Standings(note if they get first place they make the playoffs and get a mention if they win or lose):
Buccaneers-Tied for first with the Saints and Falcons.(Falcons win tie breaker)
Eagles-Solo first.
Giants-Tied for second with the Redskins and Cowboys.
Titans-Tied for first with the Colts and Texans.(Texans win tie breaker)
49ers-Solo last.
**IF THE SEASON ENDED NOW THE EAGLES, TITANS, AND BUCCANEERS WOULD BE THE ONLY ONES IN THE PLAYOFFS(Titans and Buccaneers are a "Wild Card")**

Randy Moss the future Hall of Fame Wide Receiver has been caught on the waivers by the Titans.
Why does this matter to a Giants fan(like Nips) or a Bucs fan(like Wind) who don't play the Titans? Well...that just adds him to a team in the bet here. =) That might stir things up in this bet or change it not at all. Only the future can tell.

After this week, Seattle's back-up quarterback will be the latest victim to the Giants defense...

That Giants D scared Hasselbeck that he "was too hurt" by his concussion to play. Lol. Then he wonders why he hasn't made the playoffs lately.

Monkey, admit it you would be scared too...

Depends who my O-Line is, Nips. Put me behind the Bears O-Line or my Eagles O-Line...I'll ask for a trade the week I face the Giants. Lol. A decent O-Line and I'd stay in.
