Week 5 Pick 6: The returnening.

[bobflipaburger]

For those of you who don't know how it works:

Pick 6 games out of this week's games, you have 12 confidence points to risk each week. Each correct pick is +X, each incorrect pick is -X, where X is the amount of confidence points you risked. There's also a tie breaker each week, predict the score of the Monday Night game (or the last game of the week if there is no Monday Night Game). In the event of a tie, the person closest to the actual score would win the tie breaker. You do not have to wager any confidence points on the tie breaker.

This year, I'm adding a bonus matchup every week that's worth one extra point if picked correctly. The bonus matchup will be the game I think is the toughest game to pick.

A sample week would look like:

SEA- 3
ARZ- 2
IND- 2
MIN- 1
BAL- 3
NYG- 1

Tiebreaker:
Houston- 9 New York- 20

We'll keep track of season picks, maybe we'll work out something where there will be a prize at the end of the season for the winner, but as of right now its just for fun.

Arizona at St. Louis
Miami at Cincinnati
Green Bay at Indianapolis
Baltimore at Kansas City
Atlanta at Washington
Cleveland at NY Giants
Philadelphia at Pittsburgh
Seattle at Carolina *BOUNS MATCHUP*

Were there bonus points for upsets? I don't remember.

Fun it is.

But if it is only 6 I think most everyone will pick the same 6 every week.

Houston
Baltimore
San Francisco
Chicago
NY Giants
Atlanta

Seattle
Arizona
Cincinnati
Green Bay
Pittsburgh
Minnesota
New England
New Orleans

I dug out the old rules:

For those of you who've never played before you pick any 6 games from around the league and use a value of 12 points. The max on 1 game you can risk is 7. So spread the points around. The tally carries over so if you have a great week or a bad week there is ALWAYS a chance to get back into the season race! There will be one tiebreaker every week in case there is a tie for the title after the regular season and in case there is a tie for the weekly prize. Tiebreakers are picked by the game score of the selected game and the winner is the one who comes closest to the final score of said game. You have until 1 Hour Before Kickoff of the FIRST GAME of that week.

Maybe we should retitle the thread and make each week's a sticky?

Alright, but one small change to these rules. Your picks have to be in before 10 AM on Sunday. If you submit your picks after the Thursday Night game, you just can't use the Thursday Night game in your picks.
