National Fantasy Football Championship (NFFC) Early Bird Discount Ends Soon!


The NFFC also wants to reward owners who commit to the NFFC early this year with an Early-Bird Special that will be valid through May 12th. The NFL Draft begins on May 8th, so they will run this Early-Bird Special through Monday after the Draft.

Here's the deal: Sign up for any NFFC Classic or Primetime event by May 12th and receive $100 off the $1,600 price. You can get any single Main Event for $1,500 and if you take multiple Main Events there will be no Events Fee or co-manager fee for those teams or any other live event. That's quite a savings, especially if you're drafting with us in Las Vegas or New York City.

The grand prize for the NFFC Primetime is again $150,000 and the grand prize for the NFFC Classic is $100,000. Lock in your $100 off savings now and get ready to compete for these grand prizes and the $6,500 and $7,000 league prizes. No deposit needed to secure this savings, just your commitment via an official Registration. Payments won't run until Aug. 1st, so keep your money for now but secure your team in any of our live events. You can even change the date and time of your Classic or Primetime after May 12th to retain the $100 discount.

This obviously helps the NFFC plan for each location and it gets the momentum going early on our live events. The NFFC has four different contests with grand prizes of $100,000 or more and expect to start the drafting sooner than ever before with the NFFC Draft Champions National Championship and the NFFC Cutline Championship.

Please check out the Schedule of Events when you have time and save money by committing to the NFFC early this year. The NFFC will compile the Signup List and update it as folks come in. This is their 11th anniversary season and want to make this as special as it can be. They will be at the Bellagio Las Vegas over Labor Day weekend and during the First Weekend of the NFL Season, Sept. 3-6. They also have an NFL Viewing Party on Thursday, Sept. 4th at the Bellagio. More details on that to come soon. And the NFFC returns to the New York Hilton on Labor Day Weekend and the Chicago Marriott O'Hare on Labor Day weekend. 

Good luck to everyone in those cities and to those drafting Online.

This discount is only good through May 12th. That's why it's called an EARLY-BIRD SPECIAL!!

Final NFL Mock Draft 2014 Version 9.0


My take on the NFL Draft (version 9.0) now that we have entered the draft week. I think this will be my last forecast but if something drastic happens between now and Thursday night-I will blog version 10.0.
     
1 HOU                      Jadeveon Clowney DE (I think they take Clowney or trade down but do not take a QB here)


2 STL (from WAS)  Greg Robinson      OT (I had Sammy Watkins here for some time but now I think they will either trade down or take Robinson or Jake Mathews OT)


3 JAX                        Johnny Manziel     QB (Why I do not know but the Jags pull the trigger and take the first QB of the 2014 draft; ok I do know why-its all about the money)


4 CLE                      Sammy Watkins    WR (the Browns wanted Johnny Football, there fans will be glad they "only" got Watkins) 


5 OAK                      Khalil Mack          OLB (OAK decides to wait for their QB of the future)



6 ATL                    Jake Mathews         OT  (Or Taylor Lewan either fills a need)


7 TB                        Mike Evans            WR


8 MIN                     Terry Bridgewater  QB (Norv Turner knows his QBs-he might take Blake Bortles QB)


9 BUF                     Anthony Barr         OLB


10 DET                  Justin Gilbert          CB (Best player on the board here)
11 TEN                   Blake Bortles         QB (Looked great in pro day-TEN hoped some QB would fall to them here)


12 NYG                  C. J. Mosley           OLB 


13 STL                     Calvin Pryor            FS  (I expect the Rams to trade down here and get a S or WR later)


14 CHI                    Aaron Donald        DT

15 PIT                   Taylor Lewan           OT (OT are going fast)






16 DAL                 Bradley Roby            CB


17 BAL                 Zack Martin             OT (MIA could trade up with DAL to take Martin with 16th pick)


18 NYJ                 Marqise Lee             WR  (Geno Smith or Mike Vick needs help, Eric Decker needs another WR too)


19 MIA               Carlos Hyde              RB (MIA wanted one of the top OTs and may trade up to get their man; if not they will settle for Hyde)


20 ARI                   Derek Carr           QB (CLE could trade up to get Carr before AZ, say a trade with MIA or NYJ)


21 GB                   Eric Ebron              TE (Best TE on draft day falls to the Pack)


22 PHI               Ryan Shazier           OLB


23 KC                Odell Beckham         WR (need WR help in KC) 


24 CIN               Darqueze Dennard    CB 


25 SD                   Kyle Fuller            CB (Va Tech player brings a lot to the table)


26 CLE               Kelvin Benjamin       WR (Best player on board for Browns; Hope to snap up Tre Mason RB in 2nd round)


27 NO                 Stephon Tuitt            DT (Best player on board)


28 CAR               Brandin Cooks          WR (Some WR help for Cam)


29 NE                  DeMarcus Lawrence  DE (Pats need DL help)


30 SF                    Ha Ha Clinton-Dix   FS


31 DEN               Louis Nix                   NT


32 SEA                Xavier Su'a-Filo       OG (or Austin Seferian-Jenkins          TE -Washington prospect fills TE need too)

The 2014 NFL Schedule

How easy is it to schedule the NFL?

Well lets look at the problem areas…
17 games per team
1) First every team has to play their division rivals twice once at home and once away. (6 games)

2) Each division has to play the same teams from another division within its conference (4 games)

3) Each division team plays four games against a division in the other conference (4 games)

So each team in the division has basically played the same 10 games minus playing itself.

4) Finally each division team will play an intraconference (i.e a team in the same conference) team that finished in the same place within their division. So a team that finished in first in their division will play 2 of the 3 other first place division finishers in their conference. It is these two games which are designed to bring some parity into the division. 

Now you know...
