Weekly Pickem Contest

[clenz]

Would you like to have a weekly pick'em contest where I put 5 games up for you all to pick from, and then you pick an upset special for the 6th game. If you pick one of the games I put out correctly you get 1 point, and your upset special, I'd say the team has to be at least a 10 pt dog, is right you get 3 points.


I got the idea from the Fox NFL pregame show, but wanted to do it here. I thought it would be a great way to get everyone involved, and it would be something cool I could contribute to the board. I know 2 weeks are gone, and week 3 is out but starting in week 4.



I would even send the winner a UNI t-shirt or something.

I have the poll up for 7 days, however, in order to get the pick'em up early enough for everyone to think about it next week, if the poll is a resounding yes by Tuesday or Wendnesday I'll put it up on Thursday

sounds great!!

DBACK, you want me to put one together for this week too? I'd be glad to pull 5 games for tomorrow. I won't make this like UNI/St. Francis or anything like that. I'll try to make them good match ups.

I think everyone is trying to figure out what the hell a 'Conest' is...did you mean 'Coniest'? As in 'She has the coniest tits I have ever seen!'

So we're only picking one game out of the 5, and then an upset, or we pick a winner out of all 5 plus the upset?

Pick all 5. I may bump it up to 10 games PLUS an upset of your choosing.


So up to 13 points per week if I do 10 games or 8 points if I do 5 games.



Example


A vs. B, C v. D, E v. F, G v. H, I v. K plus and upset you pick


Picks to win:
A
D
F
G
I
and team Z to beat team M even though M was favored by at least 10

I'll play, but i don't wear purple.

I'm not sure what I'll send the winner. It doesn't have to be a UNI shirt. However, Bobby Dammit, if you win you get a purple UNI shirt that on the back says "Bob Dammit"

Also, I am open to taking suggestions for games to watch that may be "under the radar". Rivalry games, games that are always close regardless the team skill level, etc... that I might not read about as a "big game" for the week. I don't want to use the same top 25 teams every week.
