3 way O/Under:QB Fumbles, Hester TD's Brown Starts?

Post #1 » by **emperorjones** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 9:21 pm

OK, I was going to set the over under on Hester TDs this year. Last year you may recall I set the over/under at 8 and he got 8 (I should work in Vegas!). This year I'm setting my over under on Hester TDs at 10. But I thought something more fun would be a 3 way over under as follows:

Rank the following from Greatest to Least:

Devin Hester Touch Downs
Bears QB Fumbles
Mike Brown starts (regular season)

I go out on a limb and say:

1. Mike Brown Starts (13) - going with the unlucky number of course
2. Devin Hester TDs (12)
3. Bears' QB fumbles (6)

Forced me to look up how many Bears QB fumbles there were in 2007. And I assume you mean total fumbles and not fumbles lost.

I'll go with :

1) Mike Brown starts (15) - eternal optimist.
2) Bears' QB Fumbles (13) - Rex will win the job, will learn to step up in the pocket but still has no feel for when the rush is coming. And the center exchange will continue to be an adventure.
3) Devin Hester TDs (11).

Hester TDs - 9 (4 P/K return, 5 receiving)
QB fumbles - 7 lost
Brown starts - 6 (Although I do have a feeling he'll be healthy this year. What tells me that, I don't know.)

Now, is that 3 Mike Brown starts, or negative 3?

Hester - 8 TDs
QB Fumbles - Many
Brown starts - 5

1. Mike Brown Starts- 10
2. Devin Hester TDs- 10
3. Bears' QB fumbles- 10

Bears wins- 10 (I hope, but not likely)

I don't think a 10 win season is too out of reach. We won 7 last year with that terrible defense that was so hurt by injuries. Our running game should improve as well.

Agreed. I'm getting laughed at at work but if that patchwork defense and joke of an offense won 7 last year I see us winning at least 3 more this year.

**And yes, I mean fumbles LOST. thanks for clarifying everyone. It would be sweet if we only had 6 total QB fumbles.

If the team stays healthy or at least if the injuries that happen don't hit key players, then 10 wins is my floor for this team.

THATS WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT! :rocking:

I got bets at work on an 11-5 season.

Well maybe not 11, but I guarantee we'll be closer to 11 wins then the 2-3 wins people on the NFL GB are predicting.

1. Mike Brown Starts- 11
2. Devin Hester TDs- 5
3. Bears' QB fumbles- <10

Bears wins- 10 (w./ a playoff berth vs. the Cowboys in Soldier Field, and beating the Cowpoops senseless!)

1. Mike Brown-8
2. Hester TD's-13
3. QB Fumbles-13
