This weekly wagering contest will reward the best football prognosticator with a $100 gift certificate from a meat/steak company. New guys can still join in any time and you don't have to make a pick every week. Post them all at once or in separate posts, but they must be posted in the current week's contest thread. Post your plays any time, but they must be posted before a game you are playing kicks off. You must make your picks in this thread and you must provide at least one reason for each pick. Minimum 50 picks to qualify by the end of the contest.


The contest is over and the winner is Boilermaker Rick!


Good luck to everyone taking action in the NFL playoffs and the Hula Bowl.
Next years contest will resume the last week of August. Mark your calenders now!

Congrats Boilermaker Rick!! I hope you put your winnings to good use and remember anything more done than medium rare is a waste of great steak.

Thanks to don for running the contest. I did not do very well, but it was a nice distraction from life at times.

Also, I'd like to give a tip of the hat to Chus who could have sat on his laurels after jumping out to a very quick start on the year, but played like a man (he's 40!)

Thanks for the entertainment Don.

Put me down for one more win as I picked Florida last night.

You messing with me about the Florida pick? Where did you make it? This internet is serious business.

Glad everybody enjoyed the playing. Read your PM's players, the contest is not over!

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Not in the Weekly thread or the Bowl Schedule thread.

Therefore the pick never happened.

Those are the rules. Not counted.

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

In bizarro world I would've made 3rd! Woo-hoo!

I had a fun time with my nine total picks...just like life, way short on the requirements...
