CFZ Just For Fun Prediction Game: Dallas at Giants - Game 1

[VaqueroTD]

Mods, can I get this stickied to the top until game time or at least until someone starts a pre-game thread that night???

Thanks to @DandyDon52 for doing this for a few years. We spoke and he is tired of tabulating your picks, lol. No seriously, he's a bit tied up so we're giving him a well-deserved year off. My scoring is a little different and it'll reward the players who get the game score correct more times than not. There'll be bonus questions for maneuvering but if someone goes 17-0 in their game predictions, don't expect to catch them. So here goes:

The point system​

10 points - Picking the correct game winner​

6 points - Exact score bonus for getting both teams' scores exactly right​

3 points - Close score bonus for being within 3 points of both teams' scores​

2 points - Each bonus question​

To play this week, you give me this:

1. Dallas vs. Giants game score
2. Bonus 1: Pollard vs. Barkley: who has more total all-purpose yards
3. Bonus 2: Guess the yardage of the game’s 3rd score within 5 yards (FG or TD only)
4. Bonus 3: Will Dak throw an INT?

Picks are due by posted game time of 7:20 P.M. Central this Sunday. If you need to change any part of your pick, make a new post instead of editing your old one or your update won't count as I only go back to where I left off gathering entries.

1. 31-10.......... (but both Smiths need to be good and ready)

2. Pollard

3. 6

4. Yes

*** Does #3 just mean the yardage of the scoring play? Or total yardage for that drive? I assumed it meant the play.

 

[ESisback]

Dallas 24
NYG. 9

Pollard

7

Yes

 

[Joe Realist]

Giants 27
Cowboys 24

Cowboys driving for the wining score, Dak runs out of pocket and gets tackled at the 3. New leg tattoo wears him down.

 

[ESisback]

You know who throws an INT, fans hyperventilate over the greatest failure in the history of the world. If it causes a Dallas loss, some will scream with delight, followed by six days of epic overreaction. The Carton Show will do hourly segments on how the Jets will DESTROY in game 2!

Do both Tyler and Tyron play? That is going to make all the difference.

16-26 Dallas
Barkley
36
Yes

1. Dallas 24-17
2. Pollard
3. 20 yds
4. Yes

You are correct. It is the yardage of the one play that results in a score, TD or FG. A safety (or no 3rd score for the entire game) is a non-result for that question.

1. 27-13 Giants as the Cowboys offense comes out flat to start the season
2. Barkley
3. 34
4. Yes

Look, I don't do this prediction thing this early I mean this is crazy early we don't even know who's going to be missing yet who's going to be active and all that kind of nonsense.. I will pick my winner and loser right before game time...

And yes it is a big deal if we're missing offensive lineman the entire left side of our line Donovan Wilson were playing on the road I mean did you not see the chiefs game doesn't take but one big mistake to lose a game when you're in a fight with a team who's very close to you in talent... They were missing Chris Jones Travis Kelce probably would have made a difference,

so it's going to be a big deal if we're missing some key players. So look for my prediction Sunday afternoon maybe morning who knows

Kool

Go Cowboys!

1. Boys 26 Giants 17
2. Barkley
3 42 yards
4 no

 

[Davidlee1973]

Don’t see the boys winning this one. Especially with the injuries on the oline. Giants have a good defensive front. The Giants secondary is weak spot but will dak have the time to exploit it. I don’t think so.
Giants do just enough in a low scoring slobberknocker Giants 13 Dallas 9

 

[Davidlee1973]

bet 20 on the under and make yourself. 50 bucks. It will help soften the blow of being 0-1

 

[FrankM]

Cowboys 24
Giants 14

Pollard
65 yd, td
No

 

[baltcowboy]

ESPN and Dak haters dream. Giants 23- Cowboys 10. Dak is driving the Cowboys for a game winning drive then has a miscommunication with CeeDee turns into a Banks pick 6. The Cowboys Zone board explodes……..

 

[LOBO7]

COWBOYS 28 GIANTS 17
POLLARD / 5 / NO

 

[Davidlee1973]

This team does not have a proven number 1 running back and that should concern everyone.
