Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league
The season is almost upon us and I am looking for a little competition, minus the legwork required for fantasy football. What I am planning is a pick'em league. Each week, every player will choose X number of teams that they think will win their game that week. To keep it interesting, no team can be used in consecutive weeks. I still have more details to hammer out, but that is the general idea. If all goes as planned, this will go live Wednesday before the Thursday night game. Please share any ideas or questions. |

I don't want the work for fantasy and this is easy enough that everyone has a chance to win. Plus it will be a good watercooler thread for the season. If there is enough interest, there may be more to it. |

Spitballin'...
1 point per win. Pick all five winners and get 1 bonus point. |
Re: Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league
Can I do my pick 5 for Week 1 now? Are we able to change it up till gameday?
|
Straight up or by the spread?
Both are good, although if it's straight up, most people will just pick the biggest favorites. |
Ah but the no team in consecutive weeks fixes that:)

Just wait until next week. In order to keep it simple, just one set of picks per week. Despite initial thoughts I had, I will probably set the deadline before kickoff of the Thursday night game. |

Re: Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league
I'll probably do this

Re: Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league
I'm in. Just a thought, we could do a Blu-ray each for the winner. Not a lot of cash and gives some incentive.

Re: Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league
I would encourage anyone interested to start thinking of a team name and a logo you would like to use. I think I am leaning towards my Rocket League mascot. :D

Regular Season Week 1 Picks
Here are my 5 Picks week one and bare in mind there is no science here and you win sometimes in picks and sometimes you have games where you wondered what happened. Panthers vs Denver--------Panthers win 24-14 Atlanta vs Tampa Bay------- Falcons win 24-21 Eagles vs Browns--------Browns win 24-20. Giants vs Cowboys-----Giants win 21-14. Steelers vs Redskins----Steelers win 27-20. |

When do we have to get our picks in by each week? Can it be at the last minute as long as it's before kickoff of the games we're choosing?
|
Re: Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league
I would say by wed since we have the whole thursday night games on the NFL network. But I would say only if your picking the winner of the thursday night game. If your picking sunday games and monday night then Friday should do it.
|
Re: Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league
Are we making picks in this thread?
|
Re: Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league
I was wondering that or would it be more like the countdowns but then figure could just post. I mean unless people tend too copy others picks which i doubt. I think weekly picks isnt as secretive as our precious countdowns so i just flipped a coin and just posted my picks.

Re: Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league

Re: Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league
Im worried Davonta Freeman and Jamaal Charles are gonna have too much of their workload lightened for them. Hes taken so few snaps in practice, theyre talking like Charles is the RB2 week 1 :facepalm:
|
Had an out and about Sat, first time seeing this today.
This isn't going to be the official thread. What rules there will be, haven't been done up yet. I can say picks need to be in before kickoff on Thursday. I was gonna say otherwise, but this will be plain and simple. For transparency, we will be making picks in the thread so all can see. |

I originally wanted to say that you could post after Thursday night, but one set time for picks will be easier to manage. If you are worried about someone covering your picks, you can wait and post as late as possible. I can be daft at times, so the public picks will help you guys correct any errors that may occur on my part. I want to encourage everyone to choose an image for their team logo. It can be a team logo, your 3rd grade yearbook photo or any random image. I will be making a page that will use them for the standings and record keeping. If you can't find an image, tell me and I will look for one or I will pick one out for you. |

Re: Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league
Guys I gotta question and need your opinion - You think I should play Tavon Austin week 1 or Julian Edelman still, even though Bradys gone?

Yoda likes football; hopefully he joins when he's back from his trip.

Re: Super Casual 2016 NFL pick'em league
Hopefully the green one will play.
I'm going live with the game thread. We can shut this thread down. I will transfer any thing that needs to be. |
