Sports Predictions 2026 - theo_luddite - 07-01-2026 Here's your starters for 10, 9 more months of bonuses coming up as soon as I've organised them a bit better Note the NFL Superbowl play-off's start this weekend with the Wild Cards - I'm sliding that deadline for your predictions to next weekend when fewer teams will be involved. If you want to guess early and you get it wrong, you can still have another go before next weekend.

Apologies for having to do links rather than images but some moaning sods don't like their own free publicity apparently. I will post the rest of the year as a reply rather than just an add on to this OP. Thanks to anyone other than me that joins in and good luck. This years Play-off decider will have a World Cup theme, when I eventually work out how to make it work. It will not be based on how many times Trumpet turns up to watch games or stands on the podium in the winners kit. RE: Sports Predictions 2026 - ritchiebaby - 08-01-2026 Don't get all Canadian on here, theo. It's not rocks, it's stones! https://youtu.be/ruTMp4_sy1E?list=RDUhRjvYO-WsI RE: Sports Predictions 2026 - theo_luddite - 08-01-2026 Hey ritchie - I first came across this beer lovers dream of a game when I lived in Canada. It's rocks as far as I'm concerned. I'm multi-lingual. I can speak/write crap both sides of the Atlantic. You might have noticed! and yeah, I saw them Stones in Canada more times than I've seen them over here too. RE: Sports Predictions 2026 - Amelia Chaffinch - 09-01-2026 Thanks for doing this, theo, but it's not for me. I hope the others do it and perhaps some newbies!
