Football Pick'em Contests

[Ars Sycro]

dsv suggested it, so this year, we're using Yahoo! They support the confidence points you all like so much and they can do auto-reminders. Plus they keep score.

Also, this year, we can do a NCAA pick'em as well if anyone is interested. Yahoo will pick which games we choose.

Please name your teams after your board name so we know who everyone is.

Re: Football Pick'em Contests

Aw, I love spreads. Makes it harder.

Re: Football Pick'em Contests

Okay... setting up a spread-league as well. No confidence points in this one though. Feel free to play in both.

Bump.

These are going to be boring if it's just Frank Nit and me.

Re: Football Pick'em Contests

There's still time. Hopefully the others'll sign up by next weekend (like me).

PS: I'm talking about the NFL. Don't really care about college but I might sign up for the fuck of it.

Re: Football Pick'em Contests

I picked 4 upsets. Don't have time for the confidence points right now. I need more time.

PS: I REALLY want auto to join this thing. He was STRONG competition last year.

So would I be correct in saying you can't edit your picks even though almost all of the games haven't even started yet?

If so, what a crock of shit. And is this because of the Thursday game?

[Ars Sycro]

Re: Football Pick'em Contests

I suppose so. Let me see if I can edit your picks [you may have had an option for that]. If I can, just let me know what to change.

Not sure I can... sorry.

"Deadline: 5 minutes before the first game of each week"

FUCK THAT SHIT, MAN. UGGGHHHH THAT PISSES ME OFF.

At least I quickly and randomly did my confidence points when I did...just to make sure.

Let's see if I can join ESPN. Hopefully their rules are a bit more lenient.

HA! Just in the nick of time.

Re: Football Pick'em Contests

Why haven't I gloated when I'm winning.

GLOAT GOAT GLOAT.

Re: Football Pick'em Contests

^ Cuz it's not even Week 2 yet? That, and people are sour-pusses for not joining.

Personally, I'd MUCH rather lose with good competition than win with bad competition.

Re: Football Pick'em Contests

Picked 3 upsets this week (STL, WAS & SF). For whatever it's worth, I'm guaranteeing that Washington will win. And for some reason, I can see NO/SF going either way even though the Saints are heavily favored by the fans (on ESPN's Pigskin Pick'em, anyway - I think only the Packers are more heavily favored than them this week).
