    Default Dark Tower Football Pick Contest - Conference Championships

    **PLEASE READ**

    BedOfRoses and I are heading to Kauai on Friday, so I will be out of commission until the following Friday. Randall Flagg will be locking picks on Sunday (Thanks, RF!), one hour prior to game time. If you desire to PM your picks, instead of posting them here, please send them to him. Not me. If you want to make changes to your picks, make sure to do it prior to the picks being locked.

    I will not be able to post the Super Bowl pick thread until I return, but we'll still have a more than a week to make our pick.

    Good luck, everyone. Mahalo.

    **PLEASE READ**


    Playoff Weekend Winners:

    Green Bay
    New England
    San Diego
    N.Y. Giants

    Current Standings: Cumulative (This Week)

    I'll HIGHLIGHT the potential winners (1st, 2nd, 3rd*, and Last Place). If you're not one of them, you know what you have to do!!!

    Phoenix Ignition 172-92 (2-2)
    Chasing Dragons 171-93 (2-2)
    RUBE 169-95 (2-2)

    *Super Bowl scores will be the tiebreakers at the end of the season

    Check my math, please! Let me know if you have any concerns.

    Congratulations to NeedfulKings for having the best picks this week!!! (3-1)

    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 Sunday at 3:00 p.m. eastern. I will lock picks no later than Sunday around 2:00 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.

    Conference Champion Weekend:

    SUNDAY, JANUARY 20

    San Diego at New England, 3 p.m.
    N.Y. Giants at Green Bay, 6:30 p.m.

    GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!

    I agree! It was a great football season and a fun competition. Even the move over to Matt's site worked well, thanks to all of you.

    (Stupid Cowboys! Why! Why!)

    This has been a fun competition and it actually had me watching NFL games. Of course, with the way I binge on college football games every Saturday, my wife wasn't very happy about that. I think back to some of the stupid picks that I made during the middle of the season that I wish I had back. Maybe I could have caught PI. Oh well.

    Maybe next year we should have TWO competitions: one pro and one college! We could pick the winners of all the top 25 match-ups each week. Normally that would be easy but if next year is like this past season then it wouldn't be. Of course, it may be too complicated and time consuming to do both.

    Welcome, Will Dearborn. Make sure you're around towards the beginning of next season. The more the merrier!!!

    Phoenix, it's our pleasure to do this. Like RUBE said, it makes every game count on Sunday. I know I'll give more props at the conclusion, but BedOfRoses has been a BIG help, and Randall Flagg has been there when I need him most.

    RUBE, I'd love to get IN on picking college games, but I'd never take it on myself. It probably wouldn't be too much harder than this (16 games -vs- 25 games), so maybe someone would try.

    I'm not surprised that nobody is giving the G-Men a chance this week. I myself have been known to doubt them at times this year and I'm a Giants fan.

    I never thought they would be at this point. Going into the season I felt they were at least a year away from seriously contending for the Super Bowl.

    All that being said, I think people should give the Giants a shot to beat the Packers. If they can beat the Cowboys, they can beat the Packers. The Cowboys are just as skilled if not more at almost every position.

    Also, I went back and watched highlights from Week 2 with the Giants Packers game and the game was close until the 4th quarter. Giants fumbled on a kickoff and gave the ball over on the 20. Then on a play where Eli was being flushed from the pocket, he tried to ground the ball and threw it right into the stomach of a Defensive lineman. This put the packers inside the redzone once again.

    I will take my chances.

    Patriots
    Giants

    A rematch of one of the only teams to give them a run for their money.
