OK, thanks. I meant to start this thread earlier today.

Actually, we need to come up with a tie-breaker. Let's use this thread to
suggest/agree on what the tie breaker(s) should be. Then I'll start another
thread as the official prediction thread.

So ... The tiebreaker is which games the Chargers lose? Something else?

How about a playoff prediction?

First tiebreaker - Chargers' result in playoffs (last year, AFC
Championship Game loss)
Second tiebreaker - Chargers' final opponent in playoffs (last year,
New England)
Third tiebreaker - Chargers' seeding going into playoffs (last year,
#3)

For the pessimists in the newsgroup, if you predict no playoff berth,
you must pick which team(s) are going to finish ahead of San Diego in
the AFC West along with the Chargers' record. That will serve as the
tiebreaker for those people.

10-6, w/ a win or two in the PO's. Unfortunately another losing season,
as in no Title won. Losses early in the season once again bring the
doubters out of the wood-works, I will remain optimistic that things
will get better in time for PO's. Injuries suck!

GO BOLTS!!!

Chuck, please post again in the official prediction thread, which I'll be
starting soon. Thanks!

This one is for figuring out what the tiebreakers should be.

All entrants tied must meet at a local bar for a drink-off. Last one
conscious wins. : )

says...
How about LT TDs and/or rushing yards? Or total points scored by the
offense? Or offensive/defensive point differential since that's the
most "team-like" stat for a "team record" prediction contest?

I never break down every game for a win or loss so your first idea wouldnt
work for me, but I would go through with it if needed :)

My idea for a tiebreaker is predicting what place the Chargers will be in
total offense and total defense...it's easy to check, easy to calculate by
how much we were wrong or right and gives us 3 total variables making it
harder to tie

For example the Chargers will end up 5th in total D and 7th in total O

CAROLINA win
@ Denver win
NY JETS win
@ Oakland win
@ Miami win
NEW ENGLAND if the Bolts are gonna be Superbowl bound they need
to win this game
@ Buffalo win
@ New Orleans (London) CBS Sun., November 2 hopefully win
BYE
KANSAS CITY win
@ Pittsburgh ?
NDIANAPOLIS win
OAKLAND win
ATLANTA win
@ Kansas City win
@ Tampa Bay win
DENVER (win

14-2. Lets say they beat the Colts but lose to the Pats. So they would
need to beat the Staeelers in Pittsburg which will be tough. We should
beable to beat 14 of those teams above. But health and schedule will
play a big part in this. We already have Merrimen hurt. KC will be
tough at home. Who knows how good the Bucs will be in December. We
play the Bills early so weather hopefully will not affect the game.

so a solid 13-3 would be my answer.

Wishfull thinking I guess

I'll go with 11-5 just because I still have doubts about the middle LB
corps and just because I jinx the team any tiime I go overboard with my
predictions. I ain't sayin' nothin' about their chances in the playoffs for
the same reason.

Wrong thread Rags. There's an "official" season prediction thread
around here somewhere that you want to post this in, as well as the
tiebreaker predictions Robin came up with.
