NFL Competition

Each week for the rest of the season i will be running an NFL competition, going by the name of NFL Pick em'
I will open a new thread for each game week.

The rules are as follows.

- Entry costs 0.5GOLD (donate to Big Boy Bulley ingame)
- Pick which team you think will win each game by putting their name in Bold.
- 1 game each week will be selected as the tie breaker, for this game you will also have to guess the combined points.
- The person with the most correct guesses at the end of each game week will win all of the entry money i.e. 5GOLD if 10 people enter.

Ive published an article in the states (as it will obviously appeal more there) and the prize will be combined with the entries here, so the prize could be rather large!

Nice. My paper in the states draws closer to 240 articles as we speak

Please vote this article up if you like the sound of this competition (even if you dont intend on playing it)

I got killed this week. Miami blowing out NE? TB beating Chicago in OT, Indy losing to Jax, what the hell is going on in the NFL?

On a side note, the Broncs didnt have any reason to win that game. Porous defense on both sides of the ball, and we cant seem to get a turnover or 3rd down stop when we need it. We did manage to get a key 3rd down stop on the last drive and the 4th down and Goal stop was awesome, but NO should have won that game.

If only i hadnt gambled on packers to beat cowboys id have it almost won!
I was the only entrant to correctly pick Jags to beat colts!

Here are the standings going into the final game and each persons final pick

Big Boy Bulley (10) (Jets 41)
Projen Inc (10) (Chargers 42)
BLAZIN (10) (Chargers 35)
James Allan (10) (Chargers 41) HASN’T PAYED!
Esoom (8) (Chargers 38)
Dishmcds (7) (Chargers 26)
Widdows9000 (7) (Chargers 49)

Cover James through me. I'll get his money from him.

All that means the following situations mean different winners:

Jets win = Big Boy Bulley
Charges and total points 37 or less = BLAZIN
Chargers and total points 38 = BLAZIN and James Allan
Chargers and total points 39 to 41 = James Allan
Charges and total points 42 or more = Projen Inc

So its still all to play for, with Dish and widds looking to avoid the wooden spoon!

Oh and falcons were awesome, Ryan threw 180 yards, backed up with turner rushing 105!

Here are the final standings for gameweek 3:

1. Projen Inc (11) (won on tie breaker)
2. James Allan (11)
3. BLAZIN (11)
4. Big Boy Bulley (10)
5. Esoom (9)
6. widdows9000 (8)
7. Dishmcds (8)

Thanks to all who played and i hope we get more entrant next week (game week 4).
