if interested in joining, post your name on this thread. No entry fee, rules are below.

Rules:
-Contest is open to all CRT members
-No entry fee
-The contest will run from week 1 to week 17; technically, it is possible to join in week 6 and still qualify
-In order to qualify for a prize at the end of the season, a player must have submitted at minimum of 48 picks throughout the season; this means that a player can take up to 5 weeks off, submit the max (4) each of the other 12 weeks and still qualify
-The contest will only include Sunday and Monday night games (For logistical reasons, Thursday games will not be included)
-Early each week (Tue-Wed), I will post the NFL betting lines for that week (point spreads only, no over/unders)
-Each player will select games against the listed point spreads. A winner is when the chosen team covers the spread (favorites by winning by more than the spread and underdogs by losing by less than the spread). For example, if the spread is

-Each player may select a maximum of 4 games per week, there is no weekly minimum
-The picks are submitted by posting them on the CRT forum in this thread for all to see before the deadline. When posting your selections, do so in the format below (post team name, not city; no need to give point spreads—easier to score):

-The weekly deadline to submit picks is Sunday 1pm eastern time (games begin about 1:05)--EDITED on 9/30/13
-A player may change/add/subtract their picks an unlimited number of times up to the deadline
-All picks must be submitted in the same post; in other words, you can't post 2 picks one day and then 2 more on another day separately; it becomes a mess to score
-Any changes to picks (forum post where picks are submitted) after the deadline disqualifies all picks for that week; in other words, if you edit your post after the deadline your picks are dead for that week; be careful, I did this once by accident 2 years ago
-If a player submits more than 4 picks on any given week, the first 4 will be counted
-If a player submits a game that is not included that week, it is considered a no play and does NOT count towards the winning percentage, nor the 48 pick requirement
-The winners will be determined according to highest winning percentage; winning % = # of correct picks/total picks
-Ties will NOT count towards the winning percentage, but will count towards the 48 pick requirement

1st place:
3 nights stay in a penthouse at Hotel Amistad
1 hour “room rental” at Scores --VERIFIED- new ownership will honor
$200 GoWideSports.com betting account credit

2nd place:
