NFL Picks Against the Spread Competition Discussion

The entire fate of a board rests on my back and I have to put the team on my back. I messed up down the stretch last year thanks to some tinder shenanigans and late nights out, but never again. I am a man of the cloth now

It is crazy, that out of all fanbases here, considering where NFL teams are located, that the Raptors fans dominate the NFL picks. Maybe you guys are just more savvy with picking against the spread. I'd think we'd have some of the other bigger fanbases do well, like fans of the Giants, Packers and Patriots.

We did this like 13 years ago at another message board for a box of Carson's ribs, guessing scores of Bulls games. It became life and death. I lost in the finals. . Still irks me to this day.

Maybe because we were a close community idk.

I agree, but that's up to the Commish, which is Howard.

Good. I think I know which entry you are, but it's good to use your RealGM username for your entry or espn account. It does give you the option to change your espn username if you click on the top left...there is a pencil next to the name and you can change it. This may also change it for fantasy. It helps us see who is doing well and makes it easier to discuss if we know who's entry is who's...plus it keeps your real name out of it.

I'm having some trouble joining though. When I click "Join Group" it does nothing.

Did you finally get in? I see an entry named Smash Hawk and then another one after that. Not sure why it would work if you were signed in and knew the password.

Still not letting me in. I can join other groups but apparently not the realgm one. There's a join group button but nothing happens when I press it.

OK, I tried using a separate account and after clicking on link in first post it took me to a page that said "Play Now for Free - 2 days away" and I clicked on it and it prompted for password. Once I put password in, I was in. It the also listed other groups I could join.

Now even though I was in, there was still a "Join Group" button, and if you click on it then, it does nothing (because I was already in) and it lists my entry there...it says "My entry" and under Status/Entry it says "Entry is already in this group" (now it says this above and to the left of "Join Group".

Is that not what you see? Did it ever prompt you to put in password? If so, you may already be in group.

The last two entries say "CrookedJ, Smash Hawk" and "espn52945658 1, espn52945658" Are neither of those you?

Neither of those are me. I'm at the point where I have the "Join Group" button option there, but when I click on it literally nothing happens. I was never prompted to put in a password, though I know that would be the next step. It's all very strange, and in the end there's probably nothing I can do to join.

That's strange. Two others have even joined since I last posted. I get this:

There is an option for me to invite people via email as well if you want to PM me your email address.
