I just created an NFL and a college football pick 'em games on Yahoo. Both are simple: Pick the winners straight up. For those of us who might miss a week, each player's worst two weeks are not counted in the final standings. Invite your friends, invite your enemies, invite the guy across the street who looks like he deal cocaine and knows nothing about football.

NFL: Group: 25853. Password: punshouse

College: Group: 13210. Password: punshouse

If you can't find it from there, you guys just suck.

Good call, AA. I'm totally in on the NFL picks, but college ball can eat a dick.

I'm In...

Straight up picks? Are there like 5th graders in the league?

[Attitude Adjuster]

Some weanies complained in past years that picking against the spread was too hard so we dumbed it down for them.

Too hard as in "has to think about it for more than 2 seconds".

Patriots @ Jets is a no-brainer

Patriots (-17.5) @ Jets actually makes you, you know, use skill.

I guess I need to join to defend my title.

MY title.

Only two people have signed up for the college Pick 'Em contest, and games start this Thursday. Are you all weanies or what?

What the hoser said.

[Spirit of 76]

I'm in both. Hey, what's the worst I can do finish last in both of 'em?

[The Canadian Content]

Yes. That is, in fact, the worst you could do.

[Eric O'Mac]

Didn't see this thread until now. I'm in as soon as I get off work.

[creepy]

I must admit, I LOL'ed at Fish's post. Came out of nowhere. Exalted.

I might do the college one, but I usually pay attention to college sports about 8 hours a year.

[creepy]

For whatever reason, it won't let me join, so I guess that's that.

[Mikey]

I'm in... and are we straight up in the NFL picks but ATS with the college? I like.

[Deadly]

In.

[Attitude Adjuster]

I think we're straight up in both.

Creepy, not sure why it won't let you join. It's a pretty straight forward signup.

Also, remember that we drop the two worst weeks, so people can join late and still win the thing.

YAY! Still in first. (College Division)

It won't last long, So I'll celebrate now.

My NFL picks took a pounding, and its not even over yet.. I definitly won't be in first

[Road Warrior Shark]

in the college game.. what are group points?

[Eric O'Mac]

it takes your worst two weeks out for everyone. one column is all of the points you have, the other is the points you have minus your worst two weeks. The latter is the column that counts.

[creepy]

Lost by two games and this is after I forgot to pick for Week 15.*

Good job Mike.

Next year let's use the point spread, I put 4 minutes a week in this and most weeks forgot until the proverbial last minute.



ETA: *Honestly, my two worst weeks at the time were 5 and 8 wins, so I dropped my 8 win week for the 0 points because I'm gay and forgot in Week 15. So I basically got 8 wins for Week 15 where Mike got 10 wins that week. I doubt I woulda had 12 wins that week, but you never know.
