NFL Season Win Total Contest

[HarryCaray]

BAS started a thread with current season win totals, got me thinking. I think it would be a fun contest to have everyone pick their favorite 10, based on the odds posted in that thread, and highest units won wins.

We could do like seven 1 unit picks, two 2 unit picks, and one 5 unit pick or something.

Any interest in this? Thinking like 50 or 100 per man, winner take all or 80/20 type payout.

 

[Diesel00]

Sounds fun

 

[CoolBreeze22]

I'd be interested in this type of contest.

 

[Willie99]

cool

 

[HarryCaray]

Weeks 16 and 17 could really be fun, with all the different permutations affecting the standings.

 

[HarryCaray]

An alternative would be to do it like a golf pool.

We could have like 5 tiers of teams, organized based on their posted win total. You pick one from each tier and most total wins by your "team" wins.

 

[LivintheFamilyLife!]

Would be in for sure!

 

[HarryCaray]

Something like this. Choose one from each tier, most wins wins.

 

[HarryCaray]

which do you guys think would be more fun?

 

[Bloker]

Sounds like a lot of Fun. Count me in.

I like the tier idea a lot but either way works for me.

My top secret handicapping method has rookie phenom Mitch Trubisky taking over the QB1 slot around game 3 and going undefeated the rest of the way, leading the Bears to an improbable Super Bowl victory.

So yeah, I'm betting the Bears over 5.5.

I think if you do it the first way, not one form each group, you will have a much lesser chance of a tie...

I think in the tier system every single person would pick New England. I wonder if there's a way around that, unless you're talking # of wins OVER the season win total to determine the Champion.

i had that thought too. We could handle that a few different ways.

1. Eliminate NE from the pool
2. Calculate your score as net # wins above posted totals (kinda defeats the purpose of having tiers though)
3. Sum of posted win total of your selections must be <=41

I kinda like #3

 

[slapshot]

was in one a few years ago was like option 3

but with like 8 tiers

If you put that restriction on, there almost don't need to be tiers. Just pick any 5 teams, posted total cannot exceed 41.

You could take NE, GB, BAL, LAR, SF...for example

 

[slapshot]

found it was 8 tiers $25 to spend

$7.50
$5.00
$4.00
$3.50
$3.00
$2.50
$2.00
$1.50

Why not pick 5 or 6 teams, any teams, and use a + or - net score at season's end to define the winner(s).

Juice, for one thing. Big difference between 8 o-155 and 8 u-135

Which brings me back to the original idea with units.
