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.

Of course. I've always known people that ran sheets and this is the next best thing, minus the gambling. It will be fun for me to keep up with and make stuff for posts.

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.

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.

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.

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

Only 5 games per week, but you cant pick the same teams to win the next week.

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?
