What's new

General NFL 2010 Regular Season Thread

I'll got:

Ravens over the Chiefs
Jets over the Colts
Packers over the Eagles
Saints over the Seagulls (but Seattle keeps it within 10)
 
Don't forget the new overtime rule changes for the playoffs which partially removes the "sudden death" element.

They passed this early last year and haven't heard much about it since - this may take some people by surprise.


Both teams must have the opportunity to possess the ball once during the extra period, unless the team that receives the opening kickoff scores a touchdown on its initial possession, in which case it is the winner.

• If the team that possesses the ball first scores a field goal on its initial possession, the other team shall have the opportunity to possess the ball. If [that team] scores a touchdown on its possession, it is the winner. If the score is tied after [both teams have a] possession, the team next scoring by any method shall be the winner.

• If the score is tied at the end of a 15-minute overtime period, or if [the overtime period's] initial possession has not ended, another overtime period will begin, and play will continue until a score is made, regardless of how many 15-minute periods are necessary.
