Week 1: NFL Prediction Contest

Flip · 09-03-2008, 10:00 PM

This is going to be a weekly contest with weekly winners. The person who has the highest number of points at the end of the week will be the winner. Prizes will also be awarded to the competitors that come in second and third.

Here are the prizes:

1st Place - 25,000 points and a gift.
2nd Place - 10,000 points.
3rd Place - 5,000 points.

----

Below, you will see all of games scheduled for week 1. You have to bold the team you think is going to win (including the spread), and you have to put a number ranging from 1-16 on how certain you are that your choice is correct. YOU CANNOT REPEAT A NUMBER! 16 is the highest, and 1 is the lowest. So if you are certain that blank is going to beat blank, then you should choose a higher number. If you are not that sure that blank is going to beat blank, then you should go for a lower number.

How the hell can someone win by a 1/2? Maybe i'm just not getting what you mean by that.

MR. PEACHES · 09-04-2008, 12:40 AM

I don't get it either. Where do all the 1/2's come from? >_>

Flip · 09-04-2008, 07:53 AM

It's the standard spread across the country, I didn't make it up. In the first match, the Giants have to win by more than 3 1/2. They put the half there, so if you vote for the Skins and they lose by a field goal, they still get the win from the spread. If it was just 3, then it'd be a tie.

Alright, we won't do the 1-16 thing since only one person did it.

Predictions can last until Sunday morning, but you can't vote on Giants/Skins.
