Survival Football and NFL Pick'em

I've renewed the group from last year. Those who participated last year should receive an invitation from Yahoo with a registration link. For anybody else who might be interested the group ID is 4608 and the password is cutler. I'm using the three strike option again; that seemed to work well last year, since the contest lasted through the entire season without being reset. This year Yahoo is offering a new option to extend the contest through the postseason (assuming anybody is still alive), and I selected it because I think it can add some interest and strategy.

A reminder, with the season starting next week. First week pick needs to be made early because of the Thursday night opener.

I forgot to post this information earlier, but I'm also in an NFL Pick'em group that several NSBB members have been part of in the past. The group ID is 28051 and the password is fitzgerald (the commissioner lives in Arizona and is a Cardinals fan). The group has generally consisted of members of fantasy leagues that I'm in as well as NSBB members. Those who participated last year should have previously received an invitation when the commish renewed the group for this year. There are a couple of rules changes this year. First, the two lowest weeks' scores are dropped, so if you don't see this information until after the season has started you can still join and drop the week(s) you miss. Second, just like in Survival Football this year, the contest includes the postseason.

 

I didn't bother starting a College Football Pick'em group this year because interest has been dying the past few years. Last year only four people signed up and only three made picks every week. With that little participation it just didn't seem worth it.
