Sometimes rookies stumble out of the gate. Big Fish was a rookie last year and found a tough go of it at times.

 

 

My 2 season long picks last year sunk me.  Since the season is about to begin I officially put the for rent sign up in the basement.  Who wants a sweet pad at the bottom?

Hey, I just make my picks based on the best looking uniforms....

Picks Contest 

 

We will be making 3 picks each week.

I will post the Vegas line every Monday morning and we will be using that line to make our picks.

You may pick a side or a total. For example if the line is Tampa -7 vs New Orleans and the total points are 54 you may take Tampa -7 or New Orleans +7 or you could pick Under 54 points in the game or Over 54 points. So every game has 4 different picks that you could select from. 

These are the Point Values. 

A correct pick is worth 5 points.

A tie or push is worth +2 points.

There are Zero points for a loss. 

 

Announcing the Power Play. 

You may make a Power Play ONCE EVERY 4 Weeks ONLY. 

Example: A participant sees a pick that he feels strongly about and decides to designate it his Power Play. 

If his Power Play hits he wins +20 points.

If his Power Play pushes/ties he wins +5 points.

Now if his Power Play loses he LOSES -10 points. 

Once again The Power Play can only be used by a participant once every 4 weeks. 

The Power Play is optional, you do not have to use a Power Play. 

 

3 Dark Horse picks 

Select 3 teams that you believe will exceed the total wins for the season using the Vegas line I provided.  

each correct guess wins 10 points

 

Super Bowl Future pick

Name the two teams that will appear in SB LVlll and give the total points scored in the game. If both teams make it and you are within 7 points with your total points guess you win a 25 point bonus.

... Not me, I am on a roll right now. R Yin and L Grant came in the top 10 last week while N Korda let me down. I have them both again this week for top 10 finishes along with X Lin. Then took Grant and Yin to win on another site. Long shots of course but $2.50 gets me $30 so if they hit once in about 6 weeks I am still ahead. 

... Football is easy in comparison. 🫣

... 🤣  Posted this before but back at WEFM, our Jamaican accountant knew nothing about football and had me help make her picks by the Colors of the Uniforms. She won 3 times that year and came out way ahead. I was scouring the injury updates, crunching numbers and won twice against a bunch of DJ's and sales people that knew nothing about football.

... Would you have picked the Bears? Ex Mrs Chisag:

[touch]

We have a Super Bowl pick for @aenemated but not three picks for week 1.

 

Are you playing all season long Mr. Drummer or are you just playing the Super Bowl prediction?

You posted 1 of yours at boxing class training to put you back in line.

I will probably die laughing if one of these posts of cheerleader pics happens to contain one of my childhood friend's daughter who is a current NFL cheerleader.  😄

Reminds me I dated a Gold Rush girl in my 20s. Super cute with a blonde bob. Her name was Missy and we met at 24hr Fitness… Ahhh, good times 😊 My ex-wife made it to the final cut of the Raiderette tryouts (friend she tried out w/made it). So close! 😜
