Above I have numbered the current GM’s 1-12 to make it easier for me to do a quick video to draw out who’s with who in the 3 divisions for 2017. I learned my lesson last season that this has to be done prior to the draft as post draft divisions are locked in.

Noel - can you remind me what the significance of the divisions is? Do the division winners make the playoffs plus the highest other scoring team?
Yes it decides that at draft time I do believe.
I’m pretty sure its Division winners all make Play-Offs and wild card goes to best other team - am sure I read you take division winners out then pretend all rest are in same league and who ever is top - using tie breakers if necessary gets the wild card. Tie breakers I don’t recall changing in this league so it will be as whatever NFL.coms default is.
All league settings can be viewed following the league settings from the league on NFL.com
Ha… Good work Noel… I can see a little cameo role for you on Sky Sports! (Again!)
I’d like to work with Dara Kennedy that’s a given!

Does anyone know if I can do the draft on android app? Bad planning on my behalf means I am likely to be in the car when we start. Haha
Yeah you can I drafted on the app the other day for a draft and it worked fine

Haha love it - agree with 1st and 10 looking like strong contenders.
I like the underdog odds for my Pirates, we’ll use it as bulletin board material to fuel extra motivation.
Roll on week 1!
Ha… Good stuff love a bit of banter… Only had it with Chris so far and that’s getting boring, 'cos he always beats me!

Surely you should then make me second favourite to win it all then ahead of you? 
Backed Zeke at 20’s to have most regular season rushing yards today with Hills… They suspended it when I tried to back it more than once… SkyBet go 14/1.
Obviously a bit risky, but from what I gather, if his suspension isn’t drastically reduced (which it probably won’t be), he is going go to take his appeal to the supreme court… Which would likely result in him playing the whole season… If that is the case, then 20’s and 14’s will look huge!

I like that bet, it would look incredibly good if Zeke’s supension doesn’t happen till next year.
He’d need to get an injuction from the court to play while it’s being reviewed and would need to avoid the Commissioner’s Exempt list neither of which are automatic but there’s definitely a chance. I think he’ll probably get a reduced 3-4 game suspension, accepts that and moves forward with it.
Yep but there is hope of a high court injunction and he is less likely to be put on the exempt list because they have found procedural errors by the NFL and have employed the same lawyer who was used in the Brady case. Obviously he’s not 14/1 (Skybet) without a big risk. It’s whether you think the risk is worth it
25/1 at Paddy Power! - just shoved a tenner on - thanks for the heads-up. Incidentally, I’ve just been watching “Around the horn”, the panel show with four US sports journalists on BT Sport, and three of them expect Zeke to be playing in week 1.
