    TheFanYard.com - Make Predictions Comments & Friends

    NFL and NCAAF fans are now invited to become a part of TheFanYard.com community where members predict the outcomes of the football games their lives revolve around.

    Throughout the season, members predict the outcomes in terms of regular sports betting (no money involved here!) and the site will track their "sports wisdom." Members can post comments such as, "picked the Saints to win by 2, Colts go down" and even more desperate examples like "colts if you don't win I'm drinking my liquor cabinet." In addition to stating their predictions, they can also build a community of friends and have discussions with fellow "The Best Team" fans. Members with the most accurate predictions during the season are featured on the Leaderboard where users can view top profiles and leave comments. Scheduling and timing is key to making predictions with in the time limits so in the Fan Yard is states that games are according to Eastern Standard Time and scores are updated every 15 minutes.

    Thefanyard.com In their own words

    "Fanyard allows NFL and NCAAF fans to make predictions on football games, track their pick accuracy over the season, and use the leader board to see their standing against the community. Additionally, fans can make comments on a game or read other fan generated game previews and comments in the Game Yard of each event.



    Fanyard also publishes the "Yardstick," which is the community consensus on who will win and by how many points or more. The Yardstick is Fanyard's measurement of the community opinion on which team is the favorite to win and by how many points. The Yardstick is set by having fans chose the winner of a game, and by how much at least, they believe that team will win the game by. The data from all fans picking a particular game is aggregated and then shown as how strong each team's believers feel their team will win by, and as an overall measurement of all fans' predictions on the game itself – the Yardstick. "
