Week 11 in the Pro Football Computer Simulation League may not have had the excitement that week 11 in the real NFL season saw, but there were no controversial endings by the computer. Maybe computers should officiate the NFL games, and they won’t mess up the final play in Heinz Field (which by the way altered the allocation over 100 million dollars in that little town in Nevada).
For those new to this simulation, I have selected excellent seasons for each of the 32 NFL teams. This year, that selection involves an excellent season between 1981 and 2007. Last year, I simulated teams from 1960 to 1979, and the 1967 Oakland Raiders defeated the 1968 Dallas Cowboys in the Simulation Bowl.
Here are this week’s results from the PFCSL:
