    Weekly Pick 'ems

    Hey guys.

    We used to have a Pick 'ems contest on the old Trib board that got carried over here (I think). I started a Yahoo one last year after the season already began and it ended up only being me and DoS. I thought I'd see if anyone was interested in playing.

    The League ID is 33881. No spread, just straight picks made 5 minutes before the start of the game in question. It's all automated so I don't really do much of anything except play.

    Anyone who wants to play is welcome to (get beat by my awesome prognosticating abilities).

      Well, it was kind of a half-assed year. I don't think we started til after the season had started.

      It was cool having someone to play against though man. Hoping we can get some other people involved. There used to be a lot of people doing the pick 'ems when they were in the forum.

        How does it work? I would be interested. Is it simply just picking a winner for each of the games each week?

            Yeah password! BTW, I pick the Steelers to win every week. Don't think its ethical to pick against them like my brother does. We have gotten into fights over that issue...lol

                          Yeah, that link doesn't work for me either. D'oh!

                          I think you just go to [URL]http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem[/URL], click "Join a Group", and then put in the league ID (33881) and password (TroyForPrez). Looks like the Shiekster is already in.

                            I saw this in the past and was interested but when you said it was straight up picking I moved on. That is kind of bush.

                            Most players interested in picking nfl games do so against the spread.

                            One MB has a regular yearly contest where 4 games each week are played. You pick them and assign a value to the pick. 4 3 2 1 with 4pts being your top pick. It plays out quite well.

                            But the one I think is better is on one of those strictly serious about this sort of thing sites. It simply is pick 5 games per week. Each one of equal value ATS or over/under and the winner gets a bundle.
