This is the weekly pick'em contest I mentioned starting. There will be a winner each week and season-long standings with a championship that proceeds through the playoffs. The structure of the playoffs will be determined after a couple weeks when I know how many regular players there will be. Please everyone feel free to participate for fun at any time. If you miss a game or a week, you can keep playing. The weekly and season standings will be ranked solely based on number of games picked correctly (wins). Failing to enter a pick for a game is effectively the same as picking a game incorrectly.
The deadline for entering a pick for each game is the published kickoff time. That means that if you miss the early games, you can still pick later games before they start. However, I would strongly prefer that when picks are posted for the week, they are all contained within a single post. If you post your picks and then wish to make changes later, make a new post specifying that you've edited your picks, listing all picks again (changed and unchanged).
The next post below will be the Week 1 schedule to make it easily quotable. You can make your pick by underlining, bolding, or by removing the team you aren't picking. Examples:
Dallas at Tampa Bay
Pittsburgh at Buffalo
or
Dallas at Tampa Bay
Pittsburgh at Buffalo
or
Dallas
Buffalo
Each week there will be a tie-breaker question. For Week 1 the question is "Which team will score the most points this week (and number of points they will score)?" To resolve ties in weekly results, whoever is closest to correct regarding the question wins the tie-breaker. If two players have the same answer or are equally close, the player who made their pick earliest wins the tie-break. Anyone who answers a tie-breaker question exactly correct will be credited with a bonus win.
Please let me know if there are any questions.

. In my world, racing season ends for at most four or five weeks around December, so it demands squeezing other things around it.
