And unlike pass years don't sully up your coin predictions with false coins. There is only one COIN.
All kidding aside? Last year people felt compelled to do their own coin flips which resulted in people being confused as to which prediction they were responding to in the thread.
Lets avoid that.

That's why predictions never work, we take too much from last year and just move all of that into the next all the time, knowing there are sizeable changes to each NFL season. That said, you're right, lol!

9 and 8, just like the probability results of flipping a coin 17 times.

Especially since that particular coin is going to come up heads slightly more often than tailsRabidraider wrote: Tue Jul 22, 2025 2:45 pm 9 and 8, just like the probability results of flipping a coin 17 times.

See what you failed to take into consideration is that Philly plays Washington the following week, meaning they will be looking ahead. Injured players will take that week vs Raiders to rest. It's a trap game for Philly. As well, Raiders beat Washington on Madden haha. Sophomore jinx, everyone has tape on JD now.

Correct fans and media will be looking ahead. That's who looks ahead.

Biggest question is will the coin have another eerie if not downright spooky run thus year.
Two years ago it went to like Week 10
Last year it was fairly spot on through 6.

It's not the coins fault that we didn't hold up our end of the bargain.Willmark wrote: Tue Jul 22, 2025 6:15 pm Biggest question is will the coin have another eerie if not downright spooky run thus year.
