    2021 NFL Weekly Pick Em Contest

    With the first game played last night, let's start up a new weekly contest here! Each week I will post a new thread for that week's contest. There will be weekly prizes as well as a grand prize and 2nd place prize. Check back on this thread for rules and the updated scoreboard.

    What is Pick Em?
    Participating forum members each week pick who they think will win each NFL game. For example:


    Dallas at Buffalo
    LA Chargers at San Francisco
    NY Giants at Baltimore

    orBuffalo
    LA Chargers
    Baltimore
    Buffalo, LA, and Baltimore are the three teams picks in this example. You can bold your choice, you can just post only the team you think you win, chisel it into stone and upload a picture, etc.

    What are the rules?
    1. Each participant must pick a winner for each game. Invalid choices disqualify that specific game.
    2. Each participant must post on the weekly contest thread by kickoff of the first game of the week.
    3. Participants may NOT edit their own post. If a participant makes a mistake or would like to make changes, make a new post but it must be submitted by kickoff of the first game of the week.
    4. Each correct pick scores 1 point. Each incorrect* pick scores 0 points.
    5. Participants may optionally select one long-shot pick. A long-shot pick is picking an underdog to win a game. The underdog must be down a minimum of 4.5 points on the point spread and the underdog must WIN the game, not merely cover the spread. A long-shot pick is worth 3 points if you pick correctly, but worth -1 point if you pick incorrectly. You must designate the pick as LONGSHOT next to the team name to qualify.
    6. A automatic "bye week" will drop the lowest individual week score for each participant. If a contestant gets 5 points week 1, 8 points week 2, 12 points week 3, and 9 points week 4, the 5 points will be dropped. Every participant gets their lowest score dropped automatically.


    What's that long-shot option again?
    Below are three examples again with point spreads. Dallas, San Fran, LA, and Baltimore are the underdogs in this example.

    Dallas at Buffalo -3
    LA Chargers at San Francisco -5
    NY Giants -2.5 at Baltimore

    Only the Chargers would qualify for a long-shot pick as the point spread against them is -5. Below is an example of picking a long-shot. A participant does not need to specifically call out long-shot to pick an underdog team. A long-shot pick is worth 3 points if correct but -1 points if incorrect. Remember you may only pick one long-shot per week.

    LONGSHOT - LA Chargers at San Francisco -5

    This is all fun and games, but what are the prizes?
    Glad you asked! We plan to have weekly prizes, a 2nd place prize, and a grand prize at the end of the regular season.

    Weekly prizes are based on participation. The weekly winner will earn 100 SCF Reward Points. If at least 20 people participate, the winner earns 200 RPs. If at least 30 people participate, the winner earns 300 RPs, etc.

    2nd place prize: 2021 Sage Blaster and 2021 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Blaster (Purple Wave)





    Grand prize: 2021 Prestige Blaster and 2021 Donruss Hanger (Target Exclusive)






    Sounds great! How do I join and how much does it cost?
    It's free to join! You join by posting your weekly Pick Ems in the weekly threads.

    Week 2 Results

    The start to the race is on! This week saw 23 participants vying for a 200 RP prize and clawing their way to the top of the leaderboard. The winner for week 1 is...... wait, this can't be right. It's me! Too bad I'm DQ'ed since I'm staff :). Thus we have a 6-way tie. In speaking with other staff during previous contests, the weekly prize will be split. With 23 participants, 200 Reward Points were up for grabs. With the tie, we'll split it with each person getting 100 points. In future weeks we'll work on different kinds of tie breakers.

    If anyone spots an error with their scoring below, please let me know with a PM.

    week2_pickem_results.JPG


    Picking Trends:

    1. Tampa Bay was picked correctly by 95.7% of people.
    2. Baltimore's Sunday night victory was predicted by 13% of contestants.
    3. Unfortunately those predicting a Baltimore victory likewise predicted a Jets victory over New England.
    4. Tennessee was the trendiest long-shot pick of the week and rewarded 4 people with bonus points. Las Vegas garnered 2 people bonus points as well.
    5. The Cowboys/Chargers game had people the most split, 10 for the Cowboys and 12 for the Chargers.
    6. Picking straight up, SCF went 218-146, good for a .599 pct rate.
    7. Long-shots went 6-2 this week.

    Reminder on scoring:
    Each correct pick gets 1 point, each incorrect pick gets 0 points. A correct long-shot pick gets 3 points, an incorrect long-shot pick gets -1 point. Using my score as an example:

    Washington - 1
    Cincinnati - 0
    Cleveland - 1
    Indianapolis - 0
    Buffalo - 1
    New England - 1
    San Francisco - 1
    Pittsburgh - 0
    New Orleans - 0
    Denver - 1
    Arizona - 1
    Tampa Bay - 1
    Dallas - 1
    Tennessee - 3 (Long-shot)
    Kansas City - 0
    Green Bay - 1

    Total Points - 13

    Week 3 Results

    The season carries on with another week adding to our piles of scores. We had 21 entries this week including newcomer @Toe7685 (welcome to the boards by the way! Check out our Meet & Greet section here) meaning the top prize again is 200 RP for the victor or 100 RP for first place ties. This week we have a tie for the top spot, @Tennelson55 and @clk823 bring home the honors with 14 points. clk823 technically had 15 correct but missed on the long shot bringing him to 14. Well picked this week guys!

    After some internal discussions with folks I'll be implementing a quality of life addition to the contest. A form of "bye week" will be added to the contest. This means that the lowest score for each participant will be automatically dropped from the final score at the end of the season. This means if you missed a week you'll still be on more or less even footing. Average about 10 points a week with a crazy week where you only scored a 2? That 2 gets dropped. I understand this rule has been used in the past and it's coming back for this contest as well. I'd like to thank @Tennelson55 for helping me rework a spreadsheet to better accommodate this. I hope to have the week 6 results entered by the end of the day today. Keep posting your week 7 guesses!
