NFL Predictions Competition 2025 - FINAL LEADERBOARD

(Oldest Posts First)

Hi lads, thanks a million to all who participated. Congratulations to Temple56 who very narrowly defeated Byanthon according to my final weekend calculations. But as always, let me know if I have made any mistakes. There were a lot of additional points on offer this weekend, so a lst minute challenge to the leaderboard is a possibility! :D

Cheers Lockjaw, fair play to you.

I personally never recovered having missed the deadline for the first week, no power or Internet with the storm.

Joint 45th out of 105. I guess I'll take it, seeing how badly it went for me some weeks! Must take a look in the archives in the GAA Museum at Croke Park for previous years' results to see whether I've improved or got worse at this. Thanks Lockjaw for a well run and entertaining competition. If you grace us with another one for the championship I'll be looking forward to it.

Hi folks,

just on championship. I won't be able to do a championship predictions competition unfortunately as I'm very busy with work, family and other commitments.

Hoping someone else can take it on.

Thanks again to all who have participated.

Thanks very much Lockjaw for organising the league competition and for all your hard work in compiling the results every week. It gave us all an interest in the four divisions.

Didn't I do jolly well for a man who has only a passing interest in Gaelic football? The real games for me are the stick games: Baseball, cricket, and hurling!

Well done Lockjaw. You deserve a break. Enjoy. Wouldnt it be some craic if all here in this 'prediction forum' were in Croker seated together...there would be some banter.!!!

Sorry to hear this Lockjaw.

Just wondering if there is much to it?

Would you have a spreadsheet that you use that you could email that would allow someone else to run it in your absence?

Not much to it.

Excel spreadsheet:

Worksheet1:
Column 1 = player name
Column 2 = week 1 score
Column 3 = week 2 score
etc

Last column = total score (Just a basic sum function here to tally up the points from week 1, week 2, etc

Worksheet 2:
I copy out the player name column and e.g. week 1 score column
Sort it on cell values largest to smallest
This gives me the weekly scores by player in descending order

Worksheet 3:
I copy out the player name column.
Then I copy and paste the scores from the total score column into note pad first. Copy them all again from notepad into an Overall score column in worksheet 3.
Sort it on cell values largest to smallest
This gives me the overall scores by player in descending order.

There is undoubtedly a smarter way of doing it using Excel but this worked for me.
Drawback is I have to manually add everyone's scores each Sunday night/Monday morning.
