OK, here we go! Welcome, returning and new players! :mrgreen:

How to play: Simple, just pick a winning team for each game. You get a point for getting it right. If you predict a tie for that game you get a point if it does tie. The person with the most points at the end of the season is the winner. Then we have another post-season game to pick with and a winner will be announced for that too.

Deadline: You must get your picks in before the start of the game. If you miss a week or say a Thursday pick, don't worry, you can make it up.

Remember: Just because you pick badly in one week, doesn't mean you should give up! Our previous winners (like DA60) started out at near the bottom in the first few weeks, but worked their way up and eventually won it all. Just keep picking and things will eventually turn good for you. Based on the last two games, everybody wins at least one week so don't feel badly if you're behind during the first few weeks, its a long season, so there's plenty of time to catch up.

LOL dont worry, everybody has until Thursday 8pm eastern of next week to get their picks in, I just wanted to get a head start to make more people aware of it so we can get new players to join in. ;)
 
The Bears will win all the opening day games.

Good, now pick the winners for the rest of the games!

The Bears will win all the games. Bears 512, Rest of the NFL 0.

Have you ever heard of graduated betting? There are 14 games. I was in a pool where you put points on your winners. 14 on what you think is a easy or for sure win down to 1 for the one you are most unsure of. That way someone who misses 4 picks with low numbers can beat someone who only missed one. Just a suggestion.

Its been suggested before, but from our experience, its more fun this way. We keep it in the forum and it gets pretty lively as the weeks go on.

I understand, but its better if we keep it simple with just a pick of a win. Its easier for me since I tabulate it all by hand!
