Subject: NFL. Pick the WINNER. Week 1. 2008.
Posted by: C.SuperFreak
- [54834222] Tue, Sep 02, 2008, 23:58
Some discussion was thrown out last year to try this format. So let's try it as well as Pick the Loser. My apologies for being late on this. I'm not sure I know what happened to the summer....
Same format.
Cruise until you lose. Same format as the Pick the Loser contest.
Pick your winner. No repeating a team.
Rules:
1. Each week pick only ONE team from the schedule of games to WIN. One team only. No point spread.
2. Anyone can join in week 1, just pick which team you think will win.
3. If you do not pick a team for the first week of the contest, you can't join midway through, you'll have to wait for next season.
4. Once you have picked a team you can not pick the same team again for the remainder of the season.
5. If your pick loses, you're considered a loser, please contact your bookie for alternate arrangements ;)
5. Your pick must be submitted before that particular game starts.
6. If you do not submit a pick for a given week, it will be counted as a loss, and you will be eliminated.
7. If your game gets cancelled, you will be allowed to change your pick to a game that hasn't started yet.
Otherwise, a cancel is as good as a loss, meaning, you're out!

If you wanna pick the winners for each weekend for the whole season, come join my CBS pool.
The picks are weighted, so it's not as easy as you think!
Plus you don't get eliminated!
No money, just pride!
Shoot me an email and I'll send you an invite. We need more players!!

You are a funny man, Zen. I'm surprised it took more than 30 posts for someone to rib me a bit for that pick, but the Raiders are going to come out strong and put up 200 yards rushing on the Broncos.
Dec 2nd 2007
Oakland 34 Denver 20
Fargas 146 yards and that was with with McCown and Jordan vs Russell and McFadden. Cutler threw 2 INT's and we didn't have Hall and Wilson as part of our secondary.
If I'm wrong, my disappointmwnt will extend much further than losing this competition.

Does New England still qualify as a "Winner" given the fact they lost Tom Brady?
