Congratulations to Rjeso, Chasing Dragons and Randall Flagg for having the best picks this week!!! (12-4)!

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 Saturday at 8:15 p.m. eastern. I will lock picks no later than Thursday around 7 p.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.

If you're interested in current team standings, Yahoo has an easy to read listing.

So sad I missed this. If there's ever anything having to do with sports around here, count me in. I'd be happy to lose to you all! :)

[Matt]

In the Casino at the top of the page there is a sports betting pool Dave, you use site money that you accumulate by posting and stuff.

All kinds of info on it in the Path of the Beam forum.

Its really fun stuff. I've got some heavy money down this week. :ninja:

its not real money of course :lol:

[Brice]

Actually, all beambucks must be backed by real dollars now.













I'd be in debtor's prison if this were true. :lol:

[NeedfulKings]

I'm locking picks now. If you get in later, or want to make a change before tonight's kickoff, please PM me.

Also, the game tonight (Pats -v- Giants) is simulcasted on the networks, so everybody can enjoy! :)
