Lizzie asks…

Can someone tell me a websute to find a updated list of the nfl standings?

I need to find a web site that will give me a list with the standings for NFC and AFC and it updates weekly

Steven asks…

Is there a place to see NFL standings on stopping the run?

Just would like to know what teams are having trouble stopping the run and which teams are not this year.

Thanks!

admin answers:

Idk about standings but you can check up on the matchups of the week at ESPN and go to preview, it will pop up the top scorers for each team and show the defense and offense on runs and pass plays what their average is.

Paul asks…

How can I make a spreadsheet of NFL standings on microsoft word?

I'm not very good with microsoft programs and I was wondering if there is a table/spreadsheet that I could copy off the internet and fill in the information I need like the team name, along with wins and losses myself. All help will be greatly appreciated!

admin answers:

You're better off with Excel for spreadsheets, pumpkin. Word will certainly allow you to create a table in which to enter text and figures, but it won't do any automatic calculations for you, or allow you to create formulas.

If you still want to use Word, just go to the Insert menu, click the drop-down arrow under the Table icon to view the Insert Table pop-up, drag your cursor to highlight the number of columns and rows you think you'll need, and click. The table you designed will appear on the page. If you find that you need more rows, you can place your cursor outside the end of a row and press Enter to add another.

Once the table is on the page, you can fill in the columns and rows as you like.

Just remember, it will be a table, not a spreadsheet, so it won't do any automatic calculations for you.

Good luck!

Questions About Nfl Conferences Chart

Sandra asks…

NCAA Football League Layout?

I am familiar with the layout of the NFL's layout, two division, eight conferences... but how does college football work? How is the champion concluded? Does anyone have a chart or another way to explain? Thanks!

admin answers:

11 conferences (ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big XII, Pac-10,SEC, C-USA,MAC,Mountain West,Sun Belt,WAC), as well as 4 individual teams, making up 120 teams in Division 1. The first six conferences mentioned are the "BCS" conferences, meaning they get an automatic berth in one of the BCS bowls (bear with me)

Each team plays 12 games (usually 8 against conference opponents, and the rest against other schools) Simple goal is to become conference champion, by having best conference record, and in those conference with title games, winning the title game.

The national champion is determined by the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) poll at the end of the year. The BCS poll combines the Associated Press Top 25 poll, the Coaches poll, as well as a variety of computer rankings to determine the top 2 teams at the end of the year. Those teams playing the BCS National Championship.

At the end of the year, there are bowl games, which are both a way for teams to celebrate their season with a nationally televised game against an even opponent, and a way for money to be made.

There are 31 bowl games, and teams need to go 6-6 (at least) to qualify

Their are 5 major bowls (Rose,Orange,Fiesta,Sugar and the BCS title game)

6 of the 10 spots are reserved for the winners of those BCS conferences, with the other 4 given to the next best teams (at-large bids)

The BCS title game is between #1 and #2 in the final poll.
Rose: Pac-10 champ vs. Big 10 champ
Fiesta: Big XII Champ vs. At-Large
Sugar: SEC Champ vs. At-large
ACC:ACC Champ vs. At-large

Say the BCS title game selected the BIG XII champ and SEC champ as #1 #2, they would play for the BCS title, and their spots in the Fiesta and Sugar bowls would be filled by the remaining at-large bids.

That's as simple as I can make it.

Mark asks…

Is it possible to do this in Microsoft Excel 2007 or Microsoft Access 2007?

Can I, for example, copy and paste charts numbers from the Internet and paste them into Excel or Access and have the different sets of numbers in different fields?

For example, can I paste all the stats from the following page and have player, team, games, QB rating, touchdowns, etc. come out in different fields?

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/stats/bycategory?cat=Passing&sort=4&conference=NFL

Or how about if I just have the following numbers formatted like this:

1 108 456 34 89

Can I make paste those into the programs and make them come out in different fields?

Thanks in advance
That didn't work...all it did was make a very long first field

admin answers:

I have just tried your team stats, and they paste perfectly into Excel. Just copy the table of stats, nothing else.

With your numbers there are two steps. First paste them into Excel.
Then select the cell, and on the menu go to Data -> Text to columns. Select "Delimited" and tick "Space" as your delimiter. This will split the cell into 5 cells.

Robert asks…

Why do the bears not do the following?

The Chicago Bears have more than enough talent to take on ANY team in the NFL. from the green bay nfl babies to the new england patriots. In the off season the jack ass GM decides it's a good idea to trade their best O weapon next to forte...Greg Olsen....for a 3rd round pick and leave them with the lazy kellen davis....wow......the draft was a mess too..you draft a QB in the 5th round just to not use him when cutler goes down and hanie is an INT machine....interesting....you draft a beast DT to replace harris (like this move) but then do nothing with him because you want toeina in there ...and adams......really? So with this being said..how about this.. 1) FIRE LOVIE SMITH..his bone head calls, lack of motivation and adjustments, misuse of time outs, mis-management of the roster, misuse of the depth chart etc are all evidence over years of his post 2006 career and he is terrified of change...get rid of him and bring in a new and excited head coach (like the 49ers did)....2) FIRE MIKE MARTZ...predictable offense, poor play calling, (he says it's just too complicated) if that's the case then change it dumb ass. bone head beliefs, almost non existant tight end use. Bring in an OC with a better idea of what play calling is. 3) Cut or trade the following players and bid farewell forever Kellen Davis *drops passes all the time, 3rd most penalized tight end in the league as in false starts, OPI, etc. TILLMAN AND JENNINGS BOTH! (NEITHER OF THESE GUYS CAN COVER A RECEIVER! OMG tillman leads the league in FF for CB's...great..so you're letting the WR catch it then praying you can knock it out..well when you don't...*btw 4 - 7 FF's over 16 games...wow* how many yards is that? how many 3rd down conversions is that? and jennings is WAAAAYY too under sized to match up with HUGE WR's in their divisions like megatron and jennings...he is always called for DPI because he gets beat all the time...Frank Omiyale..really?....J'marcus Webb..big..slow..dumb....with those guys gone...bring in some new talent..they will NOT perform worse...and finally...the biggest move the bears could make that can REALLY set the difference......FIRE...JERRY....ANGELO!!!!!! OMG..this guy is an idiot in every sense of the word when it comes to football. Routinely drafts wrong positions, refuses to make hard decisions AND easy decisions lol...THe bears need a brand new front office with some enthusiasm..look at their rivals...the jerk off packers...they are worshipped by the NFL and aside from funny green bay incidents >> have a front office that KNOWS football and their head coach is excited...I mean the bears coach has no emotion...ever....even during a press conference...against the broncos you call plays ...running plays over and over and over and over against one of the best defenses in the NFL with over 5 mins left and a 2 minute warning + they have 2 TO's.....and they make their mark on 4th qtr wins...seriously? If the bears made these moves I am NOT saying they would be invincible..but at the VERY least they would show great improvement..I am CONFIDENT about that. What do you think?

Nobody is gonna read all of that

Nancy asks…

Madden 11 whats your Take?

Im getting sick of madden ive been buying madden for years now but madden 10 was the last straw for me im waiting until madden 11 comes out so i can find out what new features their are if Franchise mode or Superstar mode has not been improved upon im not buying it this year every year madden gets it in its head that the fans want better graphics i dont care about graphics i want these game modes fixed first that should be their first priority Like this imagine in franchise mode espn or half time shows improved they talk about your teams performance and a couple other teams around the league and maybe a half time interview and every week a espn show or something talking about the weeks games and next weeks games and the keys to victory and maybe a player like T.O says something at a press conference and they talk about what he said
shows before the draft giving a mock draft and telling what needs each team needs to fill and whose best for them and make hiring coaches more important team morale a traded player affects ticket and jersey sales players get in off field transgressions stop being up tight and trying to look perfect nfl we know their is some times altercations now in superstar mode make us more involved have or agents ask to set us up with interviews half time interviews and i dont wanna start always 1 on the depth chart let me work my way up prove my self thats what truly happens in the nfl also when i start dont let me start with the rookie class of tim tebow and sam bradford make us play are last year of college or some thing so that way we can be drafted as 1 next year maybe put some new roles in the game weekly practice matters let me do some barging for my next contract negotiate a price possibly let us choose whether we want to go out tonight maybe some off field transgressions happen maybe our created super star get fined or suspended depending how we act
But i wanna know your ideas and what you thought of mine?

admin answers:

It seems like you have some good ideas so why don't you go to Madden11.com and post them. They listen to what the fans have to say and they make adjustements to the game.

Questions About Nfl Odds Spread

Nancy asks…

What does this NFL betting link mean?

http://www.covers.com/odds/football/nfl-spreads.aspx
There are certain NFL numbers that obviously display the odds though I don't know what they mean.
Who do you think'll win on sunday Packers v. Bears?

admin answers:

I think the packers will win, Coral has them at favourites at 1/2 This means for every $2 you bet you get $1back. The Bears odds are 13/8 which means you win 13 for every 8 units that you bet. These odds show the packers as heavy favourites and so if you were to bet on them you wouldn't be making a profit on the game. Hope that answers your question!

Michael asks…

When I look at the point spreads for NFL games, there's a "over / under" number, what is this?

How does it work? Here's one place I see it:

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/odds

Thanks!
OK, I see what it is, but take the Pats game. It says 46.5 ( -110.0.

I guess that means the total points is 46.5, but what does the "( -110" mean?

admin answers:

The ( -110 ) is the money it means you need to bet $110 to win $100 since the bookie gets his 10%, that number will change depending on the bet, like if you bet a straight wager on a heavy favorite to win you can see something like a (-500) meaning you would need to bet $500 to win $100

Questions About Nfl Betting Lines

Lisa asks…

NFL betting lines HELP!!!?

Date & Time Favorite Line Underdog Total
11/22 12:30 ET Green Bay -3 At Detroit 47
11/22 4:15 ET At Dallas -14 NY Jets 47.5
11/22 8:15 ET Indianapolis -12 At Atlanta 41
11/25 4:15 ET At Chicago -2 Denver 41
11/25 1:00 ET Tennessee -1.5 At Cincinnati 46.5
11/25 1:00 ET At Jacksonville -7.5 Buffalo 36
11/25 1:00 ET At Kansas City -5.5 Oakland 34.5
11/25 1:00 ET At Cleveland -3.5 Houston 51
11/25 1:00 ET Seattle -3 At St. Louis 45
11/25 1:00 ET At NY Giants -7 Minnesota 41
11/25 1:00 ET New Orleans -3 At Carolina 41
11/25 1:00 ET At Tampa Bay -3 Washington 38
11/25 4:05 ET At Arizona -10.5 San Francisco 38
11/25 4:15 ET At San Diego -9 Baltimore 38.5
11/25 8:15 ET At New England -23 Philadelphia 50.5

I know the first number is the points you take off your score, but what's the second number? or just explain it the best you can.

admin answers:

It's the over-under total. For example, Vegas (which sets the lines) says that the total number of points that will be scored in today's Packers-Lions game is 47. You have to determine if the total points scored will be more than ("over") or less than ("under") Vegas' total. So if you put a dime on "over" and they score 50, you win.

Sandy asks…

Betting Lines for the NFL... Your Opinion.?

Please only reply if you know what you are talking about:

the game is Dallas at Seattle: Offer your picks for over/under and offer your opinion on the final score:

Seattle -3
or
Dallas +3

Over/Under: 46.5

Final Score:

Seattle: ??
Dallas: ??

admin answers:

I think the game will be an under with Seattle to come out on top. THey are great at home and have the playoff experience. The weather could also be a factor. Check that out.
Romo is having a nightmare of late, and the Seattle crowd will be LOUD.
Seattle 31
Dallas 10
By the way I am a Pats fan and we would kick both their butts.

Historic NFL Betting Line Movements?

I am looking for data on the internet that would have the following information:

Does anyone know where I could find data like this or if it even exists on the internet?

NFL Preseason is here...and so are the betting lines!?

Tonight's match up features the Cleavland Browns and the New York Giants. Game is in New York, and the Giants are a 1.5 to 2.5 point favorite.

What team's gonna bring me home the money?

admin answers:

Well, preseason is difficult to judge and I'm a Browns fan and alot of Browns are sitting tonight so I'd have to go with the Giants laying the chalk.

That's probably wrong but does anyone know which song I'm talking about?

Mary asks…

As soon as the NFL draft ended, what were the odds on the Cowboys being first to sign their #1 pick?

after that, they are now the first to have all picks signed also.

Eugene Parker being a Cowboys fan kind of helps us some - ha ha

admin answers:

Pretty high because they are one of the few teams to start training camp this early. I can think the other one is the bengals. Jerry jones would never let a crabtree situation happen.

Ken asks…

Why are the Eagles stockpiling 5th round picks in this year's NFL draft?

For some odd reason the Eagles keep trading down and not picking in the 3rd and 4th rounds. The Eagles just let L.J Smith go at TE. Yeah they got Celek but he's not a receiving TE. They need a big back and receiver. And they need some db help especially with Dawkins gone. What are the Eagles waiting for. They have 6 picks in round 5. Makes no sense.
agree blinkpar Maclin will definately help out. Donovan and Deshan for sure.

admin answers:

Yeah i totally agree with you here man, im a die hard eagles fan i think they are trying to use the "Patriot Mindset" by looking in the later rounds for sleeper picks, i honestly thought to address there big back problem with Knowshon Moreno but denver picked him up, but they could maybe get a TE in free agency and they got a safety from the Browns to replace Dawkins so maybe he will pan out, i personally think Jeremy Maclin will really help out

Questions About Nfl Combine Drills

Ken asks…

Why are the NFL combine drills not done in uniform?

The NFL combine is an event in which college prospects perform various athletic feats in order to impress NFL talent scouts. However, all of the athletic feats are done in t-shirt and bike shorts. While this is understandable for the 225 pound weight lifting, as it is done on a bench, it is perplexing to me why the 40, the shuttle runs, the three cone drill, the broad jump, the high jump, etc. are not done in pads. These drills are meant to test speed, quickness, agility, etc. But, if I were a football coach, I would not care how fast a guy can run in workout gear. I would care how fast a guy can run, or how high he can jump in a game time situation, when he is encumbered by pads and a helmet. In the game, everything is done with pads on, so why is the combine done in gym gear? If the drills were done in full uniform, it would provide a much more accurate picture of on the field athletic ability, rather than showcasing the theoretical athletic prowess possessed by these players.

admin answers:

I agree..they should.

OK..I get the point of the question. People are so literal!

Sandra asks…

NFL Combine Drills and Tests?

Please explain all of these to me.

DON'T JUST GIVE ME SOME WEBSITE, GIVE ME THE ANSWER!

40-yard dash
Bench press
Three cone drill
Broad jump
Vertical leap
20-yard shuttle
60-yard shuttle
Position specific drills
Physical measurements
NFL team interviews
The Wonderlic Test
The Cybex Test
Injury evaluation

admin answers:

40-yard dash is used to test speed and explosion, players strart from a 3 point stance and runs 40 yds as quick as they can.....a great time can really increase your draft stock this is a timed test

Bench press strength test...wrs and qbs don't do this...you bench press 225 lbs as many times as you can in one sitting

Three cone drill used to test speed,agility and cutting ability
cones are set up in a traingle 5 ft apart, player starts from a 3 point stance at cone #1, runs to cone #2 touches a line, sprints back to #1 touches a line, then goes back to #2 running around it this time and cuts right to the #3, runs around it and then back to the 2nd cone around it and back to the 1st cone. This is a timed test, faster the better if done correctly

Broad jump done from the standing position and person sees how far forward they can jump....used to judge lower body strength

Vertical leap: is done from the standing position, to measure this they start the pole with plastic tips hanging out at the tip of the person's fingertips with his arms stretched above his head while he is standing flat footed, players then jump straight up as high as he can hitting the plastic tips for measurement...this helps judge players like wrs,db,cb when jumping or defending the passed ball

20-yard shuttle: is for lateral speed....player runs again from a 3 point stance 5 yds one direction, touches the line, sprints 10 yds the other direction touches the line and then 5 yds back to the starting position timed test

60-yard shuttle is the same as the 20 yd shuttle by longer and is for speed and endurance. Time test

Position specific drills: are drills specific for what ever position the player plays, its suppose to test the ability to play

Physical measurements : height,weight, body fat, arm and hand length are measured

NFL team interviews: teams can interview a certain number of players its suppose to help test character, football knowledge...etc.....players are so coached in what to say in these interviews its usually doesn't help

The Wonderlic Test: its a time test with 50 questions the more you get right the better, questions are harder farther into the test suppose to test IQ
Suppose to help to see if a player can learn the playbook

The Cybex Test: a machine is use to test flexiblity and joint movement

Injury evaluation : similiar to a physical, plus they look at past injuries and how they have healed

Linda asks…

I need to know what position drills are used for the NFL Scouting combine?

There are descriptions of most of the tests ran at the combine. However, I cannot find a description of the individual drills for each position.

admin answers:

Since the NFL Combine is extremely closed door, the only real answer for that is to contact http://www.nflcombine.net. They have a page for position drills, but it has yet to be updated. So until they do that you'll be in the dark.

Sandy asks…

What is NOT an official drill at the NFL Combine?

is it 3 cone drill, stair climb, 60-yard shuttle or the broad jump? please help me here, please.

admin answers:

The stair climb is not an official drill at the NFL Combine.

Questions About Nfl Channel Live Stream

Robert asks…

Live streaming TV? What is the catch and where can I find it?

I would like to watch TV on my computer, just as it is showing on TV. I bet there is some catch...NO?
Also, (for my son's sake) Where is a good "channel/site" to watch football games that are not on a regular station? I mean on NFL station? (hmmm, maybe I shouldn't ask that one..I may never get my lap top back. hahahaha -But then again...it might just be a good bargening chip!)
Thanks for your help. I am sure I am the last person on earth who doesn't know this info!

admin answers:

Not so sure about the "live stream" but there are lots of cool videos and stuff "from TV sometimes" on youtube.com.

Questions About Worst Nfl Scores History

James asks…

Who is the worst team in NFL History to go and play in a Superbowl?

I think that the worst team to go to a super bowl is the 2008 Arizona Cardinals.I mean they were 9-7 and my Patriots were 11-5(didnt even make the playoffs) and we crushed the living day lights out of them in a snowy foxboro game on December 21,2008 47-7.Also the Jets scored 56 points against them also the Philles 48-20.I have never seen a team with 9 or less regular season wins in the Superbowl.

admin answers:

Not even close. 2000/2001 Ravens.

They were ranked 14th on Offense, 20 Passing TDs in 16 weeks - to go with 19 Interceptions, 9 Rushing TDs. If it wasn't for their massive defense this year, they would've finished sub-500.

The 08 Cardinals were Ranked like 3rd in Offensive Points. The Cardinals Defense this year was pretty weak. Probably ranked around 26 if I had to guess.

As far as "Your Patriots" go - beating someone up in Foxboro in the Winter is worth about as much as beating the Lions. Guess it's a shame they got blasted 38-13 by the Dolphins who ran the same play 5 times on them with success isn't it. Don't use the Tom Brady injury as an excuse either - they had a more than acceptable replacement.
Didn't the Jets win in New England in the middle of November in cold, rainy weather too?

Nancy asks…

do you think the Packers sunday 7-3 loss to the Lions is the worst in NFL history?

the final score was 7 to 3 Detroit Lions. if that isn't, what is?
i meant what was the worst score total in a game by any NFL team.

admin answers:

Two or three years ago the steelers beat the dolphins 3-0.

Carol asks…

are the 2006 oakland raiders possibly the worst team in nfl history?

what a joke......."just win baby?" al davis should change his motto to "just score...PLEASE!!" absolutely pathetic team...i hope they go 0-16.

admin answers:

Worse than the '05 Texans, '06 Titans? Maybe. Titans and Raiders will both finish 0-16.

Ken asks…

admin answers:

The Chicago Bears beating the Wasington Redskins 73-0. The #2 would be The Miami Dolphins losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars 62-7.
