This is the official start to the 2nd Annual NFL contest!
Brief rule summary:
- pick 1 team every week
- pick must be in every THURSDAY by NOON forum time (the only exception will be if you want to pick the Wednesday game on the first week; if so it must be in by noon on that Wednesday, otherwise all picks are due by Thursday the first week)
- once you pick a team you cannot pick that team again
- if your team wins, you continue in the contest
- if your team loses or ties you are OUT
- if you fail to make a pick or you pick a team you have already used, you are OUT
- once you pick there will be no editing; editing = OUT
- last person standing gets a coin/currency related gift from all of the players (losers choice)
* First pick will be due by Thursday September 6th (noon) (unless you pick the Wednesday game and that will be Sept 5th by noon)
BONUS: This year will be a playoff bonus, just like each conference in the NFL sends 6 teams to the playoffs, this contest will have 6 people advance to the NFL playoff contest. Basically the last 6 people standing will advance. A winner will still be crowned as usual but the last 6 people left in the game will play a shorter (and tougher) playoff round. If people get knocked out in the same week when we are down to the last few to determine the final 6 players, all ties will be broken by who picked earliest in the week. I will go over all the rules for that game when it comes time and I will be providing the prize for that round, so suffice it to say that there will be an extended season to the 6 top pickers!
I will post updates every week as to who is in and who is out.
Games for the week will be posted shortly. Here is the starting line-up (in no particular order):

Wrestling, You post your picks to this thread whenever you feel comfortable making your pick for each week. Once you make a pick though, you cannot go back and edit it or change anything (even if it is prior to the cut-off). Just make sure you have your pick in by noon each Thursday (see rules above).

lets see, how to make my first choice,....
Pick the "local" team I don't like too much? Nah!
Base regular season performance on some notion of the preseason? Why not!
I guess I can make the same pick that someone else made, ergo:
Chargers beat the Raiders
