2024 NFL Weekly Picks

[chisag]

... Timing is everything. I liked every QB taken in the 1st round of the 2024 draft but especially Maye, Daniels and Williams. Nix and Penix have been solid too. But I just don't like any of the QBs projected to go in the 1st round in the 2025 draft.

Please all of you that plan on sticking around for our Playoffs Contest study up on how the contest is done. 

 

 

 

Playoffs Contest 

 

How it works.

 

Each player gets two Double It Please (DIP) plays to start. DIP's are totally optional. They can be used only during the first two weeks of the Playoffs. That is the Wild Card Weekend and the Divisional round weekend. You can use your DIP plays once each week during the first two weeks. Again this play is optional. 

 

Week 1 - Wildcard Weekend 

Pick either a side or an O/U in all the games. A DIP Play is allowed. 

Each winning pick is worth 20 points.

A loss is 0 points. 

A Push is worth 5 points. 

If you DIP'd a play and it hits you win 40 points. If you lose your DIP play it is -20 points, and again if you Push it is worth 5 points 

 

Week 2 - Divisional Round 

Pick a side AND an O/U in all the games. A DIP Play is allowed.

Each winning pick is worth 15 points. A loss is 0 points. A push is 5.

If you hit a DIP it is 30 points won. If you lose it's -15 points. A push is 5. 

 

* The Double It Play (always optional) at this point in the contest is now over. There is no DIP play involved during the final two weeks. 

 

Week 3 - Conference Championship Games

Pick a side AND an O/U in both games. 

A winning Pick is worth 10 points 

0 for a losing Pick.

A Push is worth 5 Points 

 

Week 4 - Super Bowl

Pick both the side and an O/U in the game. 

Each winning Pick is worth 25 points.

0 points for a losing Pick, and 5 for a Push. 

Submit a Total Points Scored in the game.

We will use closest to the Total Points as our tiebreaker.

 

 

Just curious, not looking for a change, but why do the points per winning pick go down from WC to Div to Conf?  Kind of hard for anyone to make a comeback if you have a rough start.

Just what I came up with last year and I will leave it alone for this year. I don't want to alter anything.

 

It makes the two Double it Please Plays that are optional in the first two weeks extra risky. 

 

Thanks for reading the format and rules and having a question/comment.

I'm watching Red Zone and just saw two players fighting in the Cards/SF game on back to back to back plays. Both were ejected.

I'm wondering how Seattle is letting Jimmy G play like he's never been gone for so long.  Embarrassing.   Sack that guy!

I think it is more about you Picking the Seahawks. 😅  Have you not read of the misery that team has caused me this year?

Rams practically forfeited, Coach told everyone he was sitting all the starters.  A backup QB is throwing to backup receivers and Seahawks doing their best to screw it up.

 

My mistake was not putting PP on Houston.
