Pro and College Football Pick'Em, Survival Football

[NCCubFan]

I thought there was a pretty solid group that wanted point spreads for college and not NFL (which I agree with). Either way is fine, though.

You're right; there are. I think I misread a few of the posts before. More than half the people who signed up have already submitted their picks for Week 1, though, so it would probably be unfair to change it now. If enough people are interested in point spreads there's no reason somebody else shouldn't start a league based on point spreads.

Since nobody started one yet I set up a league for Survival Football. League ID 14807, password byebyedusty. For those not familiar with the game, you pick one team to win each week. If your team wins, you stay alive and continue the next week. If your team loses, you're eliminated. The game ends when only one player remains alive. If all remaining contestants are eliminated the same week, they're considered to be co-champions; there are no tie-breakers. If there are several weeks remaining in the NFL season when the contest ends, the league will be reset and a new contest will begin. It's important to note that for this contest the deadline for submitting picks is 11:59 P.M. Pacific time the night before the first game of the week (not five minutes before kickoff, as it is for the pick'em games). Remember that week 1 begins with a Thursday night game, so the week 1 deadline is 11:59 P.M. Pacific time Wednesday, Sept. 6. Several people were eliminated last year because they forgot about the early deadline for week 1.

Just a reminder of the early deadline for Survival Football this week. Because the season opener is tomorrow, your pick must be submitted by 11:59 P.M. Pacific time tonight. You can still sign up until then.

In case anybody missed it, I'm leading all 3 leagues.

Um, everybody that picked a team to win Thursday or Sunday is leading Survival Football (nobody has been eliminated yet), and 4 of the 8 people who picked both weeks (myself included) are tied for the lead in the college pick'em.

Can't you let me have my fun before I drop to last?

Yes; I was just pointing out that I was sharing it (except for the NFL contest). :D

I signed up for Pigskin Pick 'Em on ESPN with no point spread and just one entry.

 

I went 12-4 this week. Not bad. The "experts" on ESPN couldn't do any better than 9-7 and many had losing records.

 

The games I lost: Carolina, Tennessee, Denver and Washington.

Looks like Vance forgot one minor detail about Survival Football this week, namely that you actually have to pick a team. :D

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Yeah...I realized that too late.

[BigbadB]

Must have been a predictable week. After week 1 in Pigskin Pick Em, I was 12-4 and ranked in 2162 place. This week, I'm 11-4 so far and have dropped over 3000 places in the rankings. Weird.

 

Jacksonville to win tonight for back to back 12-4's.

Just a reminder that there's a Friday night game this week in the college pick'em contest (Louisville at Middle Tennessee State). If you miss the deadline for that game you can still pick the rest.

The first round of Survival Football has ended, with MPC the only entry to pick a winner this past week. Since there's still more than half the season remaining I re-set the league and a new contest will begin this week. Since it is a fresh start people who didn't participate the first time can join.

I would like to congratulate myself on my victory in the yahoo College Pick'em league.

 

Not to brag or anything.
