Not so. You have to pick a minimum of 60 games they can be split anyway you decide as long as the total is 60,

so you can bet 59 pro and 1 college...

No, there are 17 weeks in the NFL regular season. So even if you do the maximum number of pro picks allowed (3) every week,
you will only have 51. So you need to do at least 9 college picks.

The way I understand it is that you need to make between 60-81 picks total, regardless of how many pro and how many college. I don't remember needing at least 30 each.

There are about 42-43 games left for the year. So those who don't have 17-18 are already eliminated. I will remove them from the standings. SKINK is right on the fence. He may still qualify is he picks 6 every week, including the army/navy game in that last week.


I have a proposed tweak for next year, as long as we're discussing rule changes. How about counting a tie as 1/3 of a win, or even 1/2 of a win. It's a lot simpler than it looks. I use excel to keep the standing and it's simple.

For example, a record of 30-30-3 is currently 50%.

With the new proposed system, it would be 50.82% (the same as being 31-30)

It only adds a small fraction but it rewards people who hit the spread.

Just an idea.

No, I like it better the way that it is now. Pushes shouldn't count at all in calculating percentages, only towards meeting one's minimum and maximum number of plays. In real life when you push you don't win anything, so why should you in this contest?

Its late Wednesday night. Will the lines be up soon?
