1) Pick 5 games each week. We play against the spread according to the following website. We use the "Opening Lines" which never change. http://www.covers.com/odds/football/nfl-spreads.aspx
2) Each week we will record a score for each contestant, keeping track of correct, incorrect, and ties. Ties will not matter, except in the case of a tie between 2 contestants after the final pick (which is the superbowl). In other words, only correct picks matter.
3) You must pick your games before the games start. This doesn't mean before the first game of the week, but rather whatever games you pick. Once you post a pick, you are locked into that pick. No changes. Doesn't matter if your whole team comes down with the flu, and they don't play, or the starting quarterback gets a hangnail.
4) If you forget to pick until after games have started, you are out of luck.
5) Post all picks on this thread. This is the official sheet.
For those new to picking games, lets use the first game as an example.
The line is Dallas +3 @ NY Giants. If you pick Dallas, you are saying you think Dallas will either win, or lose by less than 3 points. Basically, you get to add 3 points to the Dallas total score, then figure out who wins.
Make sense? Feel free to PM renegadecj with questions.
Each week Science Chic will compile the records, and typically (if he is available, or someone else is) quote everyone's picks before the early games.
Good luck everyone!
I thought we were going with opening spreads..There are 22 pages of posts and I don't read most of them...Thats the rules I was playing under... I don't read blondies posts? Why would I, he's like a girl talkin about football...? How about I change the rules? Or edit a post changing the rules.. SC, THIS IS bullsh**
Enjoy the rest of the contest - I wont read another post..I'm gone

And you can blame it on not reading Blondie's posts but SC posted it too. Man up and admit you screwed up! Again, I was 4-1 this week.

You don't tell me what to stay in or out of, I find your presence here, when you trash this place and it's owner every chance you get, then leave in a huff because you didn't get your way, to be objectionable, and hypocritical.
