Men's American Football NFL 2021


Recommended Posts

Los Angeles Rams beat San Francisco 49ers 20-17 in NFC Championship Game. This was probably Jimmy Garoppolo's last game in SF, he blew two chances for a game-winning FG drive and Matthew Stafford in his first season away from Detroit Lions does make SB with a much better roster.

Really hate how the super bowl is scheduled at the same time as the olympics this year. I don't think I'll have enough screens to watch everything.

The Super Bowl would have originally been a week earlier except the NFL chose this year to extend the regular season.  So the Olympics and Super Bowl would have clashed anyway.  I'll have 3 screens (plus my computer) going, 1 less than the Summer Olympics.  So I should be covered.  Big event that night is figure skating, plus the 4th run of the women's monobob will hit right around when the game is ending.

NBC actually wanted to broadcast this Super Bowl during the Olympics which they also cover in US? They swapped places with CBS because the NBC turn to show the Super Bowl was last year.

Correct.  Both networks saw it as a win.  CBS got the windfall from the Super Bowl a year earlier than they were supposed to, plus it helped the advertising market for the NCAA Tournament and the Final Four (which was on CBS last year, but not this year).  And they wouldn't have to compete against NBC's Olympics coverage.  And because the date of the game only got changed in the last year, NBC got the ISU folks to change the figure skating schedule so they'd get the free dance the night of the Super Bowl

naaa, not going to miss that much...

 

in conflict with SB, there are only a women's curling round, heat #3 of the women's monobob, the early stages of the free dance and of the women's snowboard big air qualification and the only final we're going to miss live is the women's freestyle slopestyle (with FRA, CHN and EST most likely safe on the podium, probably one of the less exciting events of the whole Games)...

 

so, watching the SB is a no brainer, even in the middle of the Olympics...;)

Ca. 9 hours until Super Bowl LVI. Either way a feel good story coming, Cincinnati Bengals or Matthew Stafford in his first year away from the lowly Detroit Lions will win. Rams are the slight betting favorites so let's go Bengals! :p

Rams went all in giving draft picks and they were rewarded. Now let's see if other teams follow them.

 

Deserved for Stafford. Burrow will have more chances in the future I hope.

    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
