Yeah, you didn't do so well. Howard didn't do so well either, but wow.
It is pretty amazing though I was looking at the guys picking against the spread on The Athletic and ESPN and like 10 of us did better than them.
What's amazing about Dirk winning is that he got the most picks right and forgot to pick like 10 games. Look how many misses he had on his record...Dirk was 148-101. 2nd place was 147-111.

Re: NFL Picks Against the Spread Competition
Congratulations to Dirk and a big thanks to bwgood77. I had a lot of fun playing with you all. Online fantasy groups can get really boring because a lot of people stop bothering after a few weeks. But this league had plenty of people picking until the end, which made it a great experience. I hope to play again next year!

Are you going to make a playoff group?

It's set up. Look in Global Announcements.

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. Your worst week will be dropped, so no worries if you completely forget one week, you are not out of it, that will just end up being your week dropped.

When does it start?
Register and submit your entry no later than the first game of the NFL season - Thursday, September 9th, at 8:00 pm ET, but preferably sooner. If you forget to do it by Thursday, it's only 1 game, half of which people will miss the pick anyway, so just make sure you get your picks in by Sunday, September 12th. And as mentioned above, if you completely miss week one, no big deal because each participant's worst week is dropped.
- --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - ---
How to Play?
1. Join group. Pick an entry name that matches your RealGM username. If you don't already have an account, you can click on "Play Now for Free" and it will ask you to log in or create an account and you can create account there. Many participants use their realgm username for their espn account and their contest entry name.
2. Check your user settings here. Enable Group email and Reminder Email, so you don't miss picks any week.
- --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - --- - ---
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.
I would love to do this again for the upcoming season if you are up for it!

Yeah, I'll probably set up a new one in the next couple of weeks.
