It’s time for Week 6.
Seems like we were so excited for the dawn of the season, and now we’re six weeks in.
Man, where does the time go? Honestly, football season always flies by to me – so I may not be the best person to ask.
With the arrival of week, we have come to the conclusion of three consecutive London games & now teams start taking their Bye Weeks.
That means there’s only 14 games on tap in Week 6, so things may get a bit tighter.
Also, we’re welcoming in more new players. For you new guys, here’s an except from a past post that may serve you well:
…it’s important that we all have an understanding of how things work.
The bottom line is in The Football Pick ‘Em there are no ties. Our experienced hands around here know this well.
So…in the event of a tie (which is virtually guaranteed throughout this season), we use the points in the Monday Nighter to determine our Winner.
If that doesn’t get it…on to the tiebreakers.
There’s no need to remember anything; the point is that you are aware of the contingencies in place to ensure a single Winner.
Because in The Football Pick ‘Em there are No Split Pots! It’s kinda our thing.
Alright.
If you have any further questions, please ask. I am always willing to explain, clarify, and help. Whatever I can do to help in any way would be my pleasure.
Sound good? Good. Let’s get to it.
This is our biggest field of the year, folks! We have 61 players shooting at a pot of $305.
Pot’s right.
(for those that don’t know: when wagering moolah, once the pot is considered “right” that means that the Winner can expect to gain that amount. In other words, “the house” is guaranteeing that specific amount in the prize pool. Regardless of what happens, if you Win you get that money – no excuses)
Here’s this week’s field:
- the pot is $305
- there are 61 players (an all-time high for the Pick ‘Em!)
- there are no unanimous picks this week, but a lotta players like Minnesota, Tampa Bay & both LA teams.
- the underdog pick this week has Nisa, F Cat, & M Sheriff taking visiting Carolina over host LAR. Pretty bold pick! Good luck you three.
- the reining Champ is Susan M, one of our newest players. She posted an impressive come-from-behind Win to take down the pot. Let the record show that new players have just as much a shot to Win as anyone. Great job Susan
ANNOUNCEMENT: while I do my best to get each & every pick correct, sometimes I make mistakes. If I do mess up, just reach out to me (you can leave a comment below the post & I’ll fix it ASAP). I need to know before the affected game Kicks Off, otherwise, that puts the rest of the field at a competitive disadvantage. Sound good?
Alrighty. Let’s get it on!
Enjoy the games everybody. And Good Luck.
