Need help from realists.

Ok I've been doing my weekly football pool at work for the past 3 years and no matter what have always picked the Panthers every week. However I've been on fire this season and have won 3 weeks out of the past 14. Now I find myself in first place by ONE POINT with 3 weeks left. If I maintain first place I win $1200. So I'm torn on this week. I just feel like the Chargers have our number. Please everyone for a second take the homer glasses off and give me a realistic prediction for tomorrow's game.

Yeah, because that's relevant.

When someone says "they have our number" it is usually in regards to a recent ability to beat us. It usually refers to the history of the match-up. If you were attempting to convey something else I apologize.

:)

I guess you were saying "the Chargers have our number" on paper? theoretically in your head? When you run simulations on Madden? I have no clue what your point was

Rivera, Chud, Turner all from San Diego. Rivera has lost both games to the Bears. I just feel like he gets rattled when going up against teams he has history with. Also we will be without key starters again.

Probably the biggest 'realist' here. Personally, I think we will win this one but it will be close. But I lost $500 on the first Falcon game so not sure what that says. Could have had a couple thousand :(.

Your in first place betting for the Panthers? I need to get in on this pool...

All three weeks I won were Panther victories. Every week you pick who you think will win each game and then you add up the totals week by week.

I wasted my entire years betting allowance week one when we lost to the Bucs. Who would have thought right?

I'm one of the biggest cynics on this board and I think the Panthers can win this game. Two teams both likely losing their head coaches, but going in different directions.

Panthers have a lot more younger, marginal players who are trying to add to their resumes for the next GM. Time to get some time on film.

    • Yeah, I am not giving up on him yet but I do think we need to see a pretty big step up this season to be convinced he is a long term solution. It is a shame that his development seemed to be stunted in 2023. 
    • To put the question simply: Would you be happy with a Steelers trade that doesn't bring back their first-round pick next year? A potential trade between us and Pittsburgh is interesting because depending on which draft value chart you use, Pittsburgh has two totally natural trades available to them, but they're very different. The Jimmy Johnson chart says the difference between us at 8 and them at 21 is 600 points, or almost exactly the value of the last pick in the 1st round. That falls in line with how teams tend to discount future picks. 8 for 21 and next year's Pitt 1st is almost exactly equal. More modern charts (Chase Stuart, Fitz) are much flatter, and 8 for 21 and 83, Pittsburgh's next pick this year, are basically equal.  Now, the second one obviously won't actually happen--the Lions had to include pick 73 just to move from 29 to 24 last year, and Pittsburgh would clearly be making a much bigger jump. But given the flatness of this draft and the lack of blue-chip players at the top, would you accept some mix of 21, 83, and next year's non-first-rounders from Pittsburgh, or would you want Dan Morgan barred from every touching the draft again for accepting anything less than next year's first?
    • just ask XL, to date he is has never been wrong about what we are doing w/ our first pick
