Predict the score game Week 5 Pittsburgh vs Philadelphia

Welcome to 9th edition of thesteelersfans.com Steelers Predict the Score Game.

Follow the rules below and make your prediction. I'll publish the results

after the game in a post on this thread. There will be 2 ways to win (a

weekly winner and a yearly winner).


This weeks Game is:


Pittsburgh vs Philadelphia


This week's tiebreaker is Steelers total rushing attempts.

(stats gotten at espn.com)


The rules are simple. Whoever predicts the correct winner with the

score closest to the actual score wins. For example if the score is

Pittsburgh 28 Cincinnati 21 The method of determining your score is

to take the value of the difference of your guess of the Pittsburgh score

and the value of the difference of your guess of the opponent score.

You also must pick the correct winner to make your pick valid. In case

of a tie, the tiebreaker is used.

For example if TTFs prediction is 35-21 Steelers he would be 7 points

from the actual score…..35-28=7 21-21=0 7+0=7.

If Ray Ds prediction is 30-18 Steelers he would be 5 points from the

score and he would beat TTF………30-28=2 21-18=3 2+3=5. If either

had picked the Bengals they would have automatically lost due to the

fact that they were not the winning team.

In the unlikely event of a tie (YES Donovan it could happen) we will

just go with closest to the actual score.

I will be awarding points for the first 10 places and including a bonus

of 3 additional points for making a perfect prediction. I will track

cumulative point totals and the number of times you make the top 10.

This contest will end after the steelers last game of the season.

The deadline to make your picks is 1 minute before the scheduled

start time.

No offence Heinz but you picking us to win just adds to my nerves. Was just at my golf club and had to endure comments like, "hey Pittsburgh (what they call me) big battle of first place teams Sunday". Confused me at first then I come to find out at 1-2-1 the Eagles are in first place.

I'm going to go with what I think it should be, even though I know dang well that it never seems we take care of these teams like we should. That said, the Eagles are just a terrible (1st place) team that is devastated with injury.

Eagle D line is the best part of their team.
Throw in a lucky QB and they're going to be annoying.
