OK Folks! Here is the official thread to do our Football Pool Game.

Here's how it will work:

Each week I'll list the games that will be playing that week. Players will chose who they think will win each game. Each correct guess will gain the player 2 points.

There will also be a bonus question each week. Players will guess what the total score of the Monday Night game will be (for instance, if the score is 27 to 24, the total score is 51. Players will gain points in the following way for the bonus question:
Exact correct guess: 25 Points
Within 5 points of total score: you gain 20 Points
Within 6-10 points of total score: you gain 15 Points
Within 11-20 points of total score: you gain 10 points
21 points or more off of total score: no points

Each week I tally the points you gained, and post them. I'll post a weekly score, and a cumulative score.

I'll open the game for picks by Tuesday morning, assuming the Monday Night game is the final game of the week. Deadline for picks is kickoff of the first game of the week.

Since this is my first time running a game like this, and this will likely be the only thread we play, pick and discuss in, it would probably be helpful to me if you waited till I posted that the game is open for picks, that way we can keep them sort of clustered in the same area of the thread. I will post in big bold letters that the game is open for picks, just so its easier for all to see.

Here is an example of how I will format the questions. I'll use Week 1 as an example, even though we won't start till Week 2. I will always post the questions in blue:

Pick the Winner of each game:
Thursday, Sep. 9
1. Indianapolis at New England
Saturday, Sep. 11
2. Tennessee at Miami
Sunday, Sep. 12
3. Arizona at St. Louis
4. Baltimore at Cleveland
5. Cincinnati at N.Y. Jets
6. Detroit at Chicago
7. Jacksonville at Buffalo
8. Oakland at Pittsburgh
9. San Diego at Houston
10. Seattle at New Orleans
11. Tampa Bay at Washington
12. Atlanta at San Francisco
13. Dallas at Minnesota
14. N.Y. Giants at Philadelphia
15. Kansas City at Denver
Monday, Sep. 13
16. Green Bay at Carolina

BONUS QUESTION: What will the total score of the Monday Night Game be?


As a player, here's an example of how I'd submit my picks for the week:

1. New England
2. Tennessee
3. St. Louis
4. Baltimore
5. NY Jets
6. Chicago
7. Jacksonville
8. Oakland
9. San Diego
10. Seattle
11. Tampa Bay
12. San Fransisco
13. Minnesota
14. Philadelphia
15. Denver
16. Carolina

BONUS: 55 points


So, even if you already expressed interest in the NFL thread, please sign up officially in this one. I see no reason to stop accepting players once the game starts, but your cumulative score of course will suffer.

Oh, and no money is changing hands here. No cost to play, but unfortunately that also means no prize money at the end!

One last thing. Anyone betting against the Broncos gets an automatic 100 point deduction from their total score.

Any comments, suggestions, etc are welcome. And, I guess I'm joking about that last clause. Though you will never ever see me pick against the Broncos, no matter what.

Ok, I'll join in on this one. Who, it would be in your best interest points wise to pick against the Broncos for a few of the games.

Since Elway's departure, they pretty much suck. :-)

Thanks in advance for running this game!

Ok, I'm in and Eggie we may need some collective thinking on picking! LOL I have 2 consultants in my house so I'm hoping they have skills at picking! LOL

Who, I'm never picking against the Colts either so we may be even on that score. Now if we can just get Mocha to always pick the Ravens we might stand a decent chance at this.

No problem Lycan. There was no week one for us. I took too long to suggest the game, so it was too late to do picks for week one. I'm just labeling them the same as the real NFL weeks.
