NFL Picks Against the Spread Competition Discussion
Posted: Wed Aug 9, 2017 12:38 pm
Hey all, once again we will be having the NFL Picks against the spread competition for all of RealGM forum members.
It only takes a couple minutes to join and also to make your picks each week, and you can see how you do against fellow forum members as well as experts. It adds an extra interest to the games on Sunday, so hopefully people join in and participate to make things fun.

Rules
[*] Each Tuesday, spreads will be posted on ESPN for the the upcoming week.
[*] Lock-time. All entries will use a rolling lock which allows a player to pick any game that has yet to kick off. Selections submitted after the deadlines are considered invalid, and no points will be received. It is good to make preliminary picks a few days before the games and adjust your picks leading up to the games as you see fit to eliminate the chance of forgetting to make any picks that week at all.
[*] Overall tie-breaker - higher number of points scored for Week 17.

Competition
Beat the Commish Champion
The player with the highest number of correct picks throughout the season wins the title.
Each correct winning pick will receive one (1) point. Points are not lost for incorrect picks. Picking every game, every week is essential.
However, to ensure people don't drop out if they forget a week or have a terrible week, each entry will have their lowest scoring week dropped from their score.
Big thanks to Dirk for the layout.
