Cheesestradamus Week 17: Doubly Cheesy
Well everyone, we have come to the final week of the season, and the final week of Cheesestradamus. But this is a double-points week, so a slim lead in the standings can mean next to nothing if you're not on your game. I apologize for the late update of the form last week, but I've gone over both of this week's forms diligently to make sure that there are no issues.
After Week 16, Swenny916 holds a one-point lead in the standings over power296, who in turn is up by two points over the tandem of Jabooty and neilfunk69. Three points is a small margin though, with a maximum of 48 points on the line this week.
I have two separate forms set up for Week 17. The first is the typical form for this week's Packers-Lions game. The second is similar to the bye week post, with eight questions spanning across the entire NFL. Your categories to predict are below:
Packers vs. Lions (click here to make your predictions)
Packers' score

First Packers' TD
Packers' leading receiver (in receptions)
Packers' team rushing yards (points at +/- 5, 10, 15 yards)
Number of Lions that will catch a pass on offense
Time of the game that Matt Flynn will take his first snap (points at +/- 1, 2, 3 minutes of game time)
Note: for the Flynn pick, please follow this example format: "3:30 remaining in 3rd quarter"

REPORTER: What do you think is happening to the team?
MICHAEL RAY RICHARDSON: The ship be sinking.

Oops did my Flynn question wrong
but I think it’s easy enough to understand. I just said he starts the 2nd half. Hope I don’t have to do the whole thing over.

thought about that too
But starting the second half means the Packers get the second half kick and don’t return it

About the Bonus predictions
Would saying Mike Neal records at least one tackle or DJ Williams gets at least one reception be okay? They both check out for the bonus rules I do believe, they are just a bit, well, cheesy.
I believe so.
I was still forced to give “D.J. Smith gets 6 tackles” when he was starting, so these are legit.

Don't look now, but Rodgers is inactive
Cue updates! ;)
Yeah, can we just scratch the Flynn question?
Kind of pointless now.

Not if people said he would start.

but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence."
"We're nobody's underdog!"
"We don't play scared!"
After further review,
the Munsters of the Midway still suck!
I said Flynn would start BEFORE the team announced Rodgers was inactive
IMO, I should be the only one to get points on that question! :)
Agreed,
if you were, in fact, the only one to predict that.
And, that is why we can’t “just scrap the Flynn question.”
