The regular season is over. Now its time for the playoffs. We did this contest last year and it was a lot of fun. This a cumulative point contest picking against the spread. Entries for this week must be submitted by Saturday 1/6/7 12:00 PM EST.
How to play :
You pick the playoff games against the spread ( just like the weekly NFL Pick Contest ). However, the wins or losses are converted to points. Points are awarded as follows :
Win = +1 point
Loss = -1 point
Ties = 0 point
So, as an example, if you go 2-2 on your first 4 picks, your point total would be 0. Since it's a cumulative contest, the scores are carried over and combined with the next week. This continues until the Super Bowl. A point to remember is that scores can decrease as well as increase. There are 4 weeks of play. Week 2 may be skipped, the other three weeks are mandatory participation. The person with most points after the Super Bowl wins. In the event of a tie, the tie breaker will be the total points scored in the Super Bowl.
The Rules :
1) You must have played in at least one NFL Picks Contest ( there are 29 eligible ).
2) You must make picks in week 1 ( Wild Card round ), week 3 ( Championship round ), and week 4 ( Super Bowl ). Failure to do so means disqualification.
3) Use the provided template and bold your picks.
4) There must be at least 15 entrants in week 1.
5) Entries for week 1 must be posted by 1/6/7 12:00 PM EST.
The Prize :
The prize to be awarded to one lucky winner is $ 200.
