For those of you wondering, we're relocating this contest (in progress) from darktower.net due to difficulties there. The contest is 11 weeks in, and although I can't let anyone new compete for the prizes, I'm VERY happy to keep progressive stats from here forward on those wanting to try their luck at picking the winning games. Next year, we hope that THIS site will be the host from day one.
THIS WEEK IS THANKSGIVING. Three Games on Thursday--Plan on getting your picks in by Wednesday night, if possible. EARLY Thursday at the latest! (see below). Anyone who accidentally misses the Thursday games, but gets in by Sunday, will be scored on their Sunday picks counting the three Thursday games as losses.

Tampa Bay

N.Y. Giants
Arizona
Green Bay

Contest Rules:
1. Just pick a winner for every game listed below.
2. All picks for the week need to be posted no later than ONE HOUR PRIOR to the start of the first game scheduled for THAT week. The first game this week is Thursday at 12:30 eastern. Since I'm heading off for Thanksgiving, I will lock picks no later than Thursday morning around 11 a.m. Eastern time.
3. If you fail to get your picks in by the deadline above, you may be awarded the score of the lowest W/L record for that week minus one point. Should you miss more than two weeks throughout the season, you may be dropped from the contest or become ineligible for the last place prize.
4. In the event you cannot get here, send your picks to:
dtnfootball@hotmail.com
5. We will only accept new players through week 4.
Each week, I'll calculate and update the standings and post the next week's schedule by Tuesday.
The WINNER! At the conclusion of the season (including the playoffs and Super Bowl), I will personally award a prize to the top THREE finishers. Last year, there was something for the individual with the worst record as well. A difficult feat, in itself! That will likely happen again.
