I was wondering the same thing. I haven't participated much in the past but I think if there were two contests, I would use the same teams from my pick 3 for my pick 5 anyway. Unless of course another generous donor wanted to offer another prizeRenegadeCJ wrote: Do we even want a pick 3....that really seems to make no sense. Seems like quite a few did both last year, why not just stick with picking 5.
Thoughts?

I guess I AM off the hook! Lucky me! (until I get dragged back in!)
Yeah, lets just do the pick 5, especially since this is the one where the prizes are.
Too bad future generations aren't here to see all the great things we are spending their $$ on!!

I think having only one contest is fine. Gets you off the hook (sort of).
Now I have to think of themes in 5's not 3's. May be a little harder this year.

Works for me, we had both last year because some people didn't want to pick 2 more teams and we were testing it out. Yes, those who participated in both I think did use the same teams, just picked the three they were most confident about for the Pick 3. Hilariously, I was in it for the Pick 5 until a couple of weeks from the end, but I was 
in the Pick 3 the whole time - apparently my confidence is bass-ackwards. 
So if we don't do the Pick 3, then I'll toss the LED lightbulb I was saving as a prize for that one into this prize package as well. Renegade, would you be willing to help with posting the opening lines since I am dumb about that (although I like those other two sites LOL recommended - they make it pretty obvious so even I could figure it out!)?
Speaking of those, do we want to change the site we use for opening lines - did anyone else compare them? Or choose one and a backup if there are issues with the 1st? Did everyone like the one we used last year or not? I'm up for discussion on that...

I really don't know which site is the best or consistent, but here are some choices. I agree with Paca, we should pick one and stick with it, too hard to change the rules.

www.covers.com/odds/football/nfl-spreads.aspx

I kinda like the cbs sports page, easy to read. I noticed they are not all the same open, for example the Broncos are -6 -7 -7.5 depending on which site.
Also, if Renegade is keeping scores, I think he should decide what site he prefers to use?
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2
Republicans are red, democrats are blue, neither of them, gives a flip about you.
