Read the thread header.

I did. It doesn't answer any of the questions I asked, does it? As a new participant I'm just trying to figure out how the system works....

Do we pick only one team per week?

Does pre-season count?

Winner picks the most games over the entire season, or what?


This is the place for the annual SI NFL Football picks. All are welcome to join. This is purely in fun and each season we have a great time, so we hope to see you here come September!

For point spreads-

footballlocks.com

Since the Oregon Lottery quit point spreads, what we are using has some whole numbers. Add .5 to the number so we don't have to worry about ties.

Here are the rules:

1. The same team cannot be picked 2 weeks in a row.

2. The person making the week's selections must post them no later than Tuesday at 6:00 PM, Central Time* preceding the games.

3. All choices must be in no later than 3 hours before the first game's opening kickoff.

4. Once your choices are made, they cannot be changed, except each player is allowed one (1) change per season.

5. Rudi and I make the rules. No arguments.

6. No political discussions are allowed. There are other threads for that.

7. Break the rules and you will be banned for the season.

You don't get your pick in you don't get credit for a win. It's a game sports fans. No money involved.

*Since I live in the central time zone, I get to choose.
