2013 NFL Pick 7 Pool

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Wed Sep 04, 2013 3:22 pm

Any interest in an NFL Pick 7 Pool? If so, I can run it again this year.

Here's how it works:

Every participant picks seven teams that they think will win that week. If one participant picks all seven winners, that person wins the pot that week. If multiple teams win, the MNF Total will be used as a tie-breaker. If no one picks all seven correctly, the pot rolls over to the following week.

Entry is $5 per week.

I will keep track of all the picks using a google spreadsheet.

Who's in?

Haven't been in one of these in years - and back then it was a "Pick 6."

Do you accept Canadian currency?

Yes, Degenerasian sent me money last year via paypal. Another Canadian swamper, I believe it was Downsview, sent me a check once and I had no issues from my bank.

Need a couple more folks to make it worth our while. I will recruit some folks from work to join when I go back to the office in a week and a half.

I'll join up. Are we going to try and start Week 1?

I already sent my picks to kegger, in case we get enough to make it worth our while this week.

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Thu Sep 05, 2013 2:10 pm

Yeah, lets go ahead and get it going. I am sure we can get a couple more to join up between now and Sunday.

You can either email me (same as below) or PM me.

My paypal is javier_martinez1980 at yahoo

If you plan on playing multiple weeks, feel free to send funds to cover them.

Which MNF game should we use as the total for Week 1?

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Thu Sep 05, 2013 2:18 pm

Lets go with the late game. Texans at Chargers

That's the one I used in my picks.

Link to the spreadsheet has been added to Post #1.

Send me your gmail address if you want early access to the spreadsheet (once your picks are in). Otherwise, you'll be able to view the spreadsheet when I open it up to the public on Saturday night / Sunday morning.

Stupid questions time.

1. We are allowed to pick the MNF game as one of our seven selections, despite the total score being the tiebreaker. Right?

2. Look, I don't do fantasy, I haven't gambled on football in decades, I just want to be sure. These picks are not against the spread, but absolute outcome, right?

Thanks.

ETA:
3. Are you still not supposed to bet against home dogs? 'Cause damn if they all don't look juicy. (buffalo, jets, jacksonville, carolina and bolts.) Juicy to take the favorite.

Yeah, what he said.

1. Yes, you can pick the MNF game.

2. All picks are straight up - just pick the winner.

Thanks fellas. Money and picks sent.

Picks and donation sent in.

Edit: At least, I tried to send my picks in by PM. But I think the message got stuck in the Outbox, so I tried by email, too, using the email tied to the PP account.

Keg, if you don't get them one way or the other, can you let me know? Thanks.

Steve, PMs sitting in the Outbox folder havent been opened by the recipient so you can still delete or edit them. Once the recipient opens your PM, it gets moved to your Sent Messages folder.

howard · Post by **howard** » Fri Sep 06, 2013 4:27 pm

Ah, so you removed my write/edit privileges on the spreadsheet. Too bad; the picks I entered for GPJ (Oakland, Jets, San Diego, Arizona and Tennessee twice) had a real shot at victory this week.

Post by **brian** » Fri Sep 06, 2013 4:32 pm

I literally can't win this week already...and not because I picked the Ravens. So that kind of sucks.

Sure you can. If the Cowgirls hold serve at home, and the defenses sign a mutual non-aggression pact Monday night and give up >46 points.

Heh. Fair point.

Everyone picked the Steelers this week...

howard · Post by **howard** » Sun Sep 08, 2013 2:52 pm

Of course we did.

It will be a while before I again trust Ben.

Post by **brian** » Mon Sep 09, 2013 12:33 pm

Sent you some dough for the first half of the season.

Ended up not being too bad.

My week 2 picks are in.

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Fri Sep 13, 2013 11:34 pm

Still need picks from GPJ, Bronto and Steve.

kranepool · Post by **kranepool** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 10:47 am

Looks like you still need payment from some slackers, too.

Ties are treated as a loss, correct?

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 10:52 am

Yes they are.

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 11:49 am

Unless I hear from GPJ or Steve in the next ten minutes, the pot should be at $80 this week.

Keg · Post by **Keg** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 3:01 pm

Everyone is on the Texans...

howard · Post by **howard** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 3:48 pm

maybe next week I'll survive until the afternoon games

howard · Post by **howard** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 4:11 pm

Brian needs only one more. And it isn't the Lions. Bengals tomorrow nite. Pruitt and Kranepool need two late games.

Edit: Pruitt, not Bengal. Had Bengal on the brain.

kranepool · Post by **kranepool** » Sun Sep 15, 2013 7:36 pm

Woot. LET'S GO STEELERS!

ETA: Steelers, it's ok if you lose. Just lose 71-59.
