Welcome to Week 4 everyone.
There’s been a ton of enthusiasm this year, which makes our competition a lotta fun. I know we’re all delighted that Football is back – it just makes everything sweeter!
And these weekly pots are the perfect way to spice up the Football Weekend.
On that note, one thing that needs to be mentioned is our tiebreaker format. Click this link to be taken to that page.
Since we have a steady flow of new players–WELCOME NEW PLAYERS–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 know this well.
So…in the event of a tie (which is a virtual guarantee throughout this season), we use the points in the Monday Night ballgame as the standard tiebreaker.
If that doesn’t get it…well, off we go to the tiebreakers.
There’s no need to remember anything; the point here is to make sure you’re aware that contingencies are in place to ensure a single Winner.
Because in The Football Pick ‘Em there are No Split Pots!
It’s kinda our thing.
Alright. Got it?
Good. Let’s get started.
This week we have a large field of 62 players shooting at a $310 pot.
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:
FOR THE WEEK
- the pot is $310
- there are 62 players
- the unanimous picks this week sees Minnesota and Baltimore favored by our field over Miami and Tennessee. Poor Miami—but I understand.
- there aren’t really any standout underdog picks this week. We all know how unpredictable these games are…maybe next week we’ll have some.
- the reining Champ is Big Will III who Won the week on the points tiebreaker. If you haven’t heard me say it, the total points could be the most important pick you make. Right, Will? Next time I won’t tell you to pick Washington!
(Sike. Great work man)
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?
Alright, enough talk. Kickoff approaches.
Enjoy the game folks. And good luck.
