Summery of rules:
Pick the winner of every game.
You will receive 1 point for every correct pick.
MNF score prediction will be used as a tiebreaker. If there are two games on Monday, the latter of the two will be used for the tiebreaker. (Tiebreaker explanation)
A Bonus point will be awarded for predicting the exact points the Broncos or their rival will score.
If you've played the pick 'em previously and have since changed your username, please indicate in your post who you were previously.
*** Important ***
When posting your picks:
List only the winner of each game. If you list both teams, your picks will not be counted.
Keep the order in which the games are listed.
Put the score next to the MNF and the Broncos games only.
Any post or post-edit after the first kickoff will receive an automatic DQF
This is all for fun guys/gals but please follow these rules. If you type your picks different then what I have on the list I have to retype them all. I have the spreadsheet set to count each members picks. It will not count the picks if they are written in different then what I have in the spreadsheet. It will not count the picks if they are in a different order then they are in spreadsheet. If you type JAX instead of JAC sometimes I type in JAX and it will not count the pick. then I have to go back through everything to find the error
DenverNative(Carol) has graciously volunteered to help me out by PMing anyone who has any issues with the formatting of their picks, so that no one misses out. Be nice to her or I'll pull out the whips!
When I make my picks I Quote the picks post, then delete all the teams I don't think will win. Then I delete everything except my picks. Maybe this will work for you?
IMPORTANT: Some people have not been following the format rules posted above. It is critical that you use the team abbreviations EXACTLY as they are listed below. Do not type out the full name. Do not color code the pics. Do not list two teams, including when you must pick the score. List ONLY the team you are picking, and for game with scores, enter the score of the winning team first (example: DEN 24 - 7). Your help in this will be greatly appreciated.
Also, as the rules state that any post in this thread or edit after first kickoff will result in a DNQ, the mods or I will do our best to lock this thread right after the first games kickoff, so I will not have to try and catch post-kickoff edits.
IMPORTANT: Read the important notes above. IMPORTANT
