2006 Picks of the week Contest

Just to let everyone know, I have finished putting the schedule in and the picks of the week contest is ready to go

I need someone to view and compare the schedule of the weeks and compare it to the nfl schedule located here:

just as a second set of eyes, that is all

More will follow

I am in.

Karasz....all you do is predict the winner of every NFL game every week. The person with the most wins at the end of the season gets a prize. It is fun, easy, and takes almost no time at all.

Given the Rant Daddy's situation, the prize this year is probably something like a sack of dirty socks. I may help him out to beef up the prize just a bit.

Oh I'm in again as well, although I will be clueless on many of the picks, but that is ok.

If memory serves I did kick Jay's arse in the NCAA picks and I have no idea about college basketball.

Straight up.
They used to do the spread on the Monday night game, but I don't even remember that last year.

All games are straight up now. The spread was too difficult to maintain.

As for the prize this year, I will be providing it instead of Mike, as he is currently without job, and focusing on family (which I think we can all agree is the right thing to do).

The winner of the 2006 weekly picks contest will get a personally autographed NFL football from Drew Bledsoe.

I know it's not the greatest prize in the world, but it is still pretty cool.....right?

Well since the picks of the week contest is already to go, I am going to send out a newsletter to see who I can lure back here to make this the best one yet.

Not sure on the status of the prize of yet, it may not be a cash prize, but there will be something for the top 3.

Maybe we can get the word out there somehow and get more people involved to participate this time around
