EWB NFL Pickems League (2024)

[Krabby]

Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!? 

Once again I'll be doing an NFL Pickems league, utterly and shamelessly ripped off from Baddar (with his express, written consent). Last year was another successful run for the league and our champion was, to quote the Ravens, Edgar Allen @gunnar hendershow!

This year, to inject a little more drama into the league I want to switch up how the standings are determined. Instead of doing things in a rotisserie/accumulation style, we are going to do things HEAD to HEAD and keeping track with Wins-Losses-Ties. The week-to-week won’t change with picking teams and assigning point values (see below) but this year you will be going head to head with another player each week. Players will be split into random divisions with playoffs coming in the final weeks of the season.

A reminder on how things work - for this NFL prediction league, I will pick 5 games each week for you, the players, to predict the winners of. The twist comes that each player must assign a point value, 1-5, to each game (based on the confidence of their prediction). For example, a sample week could look like this (week 17 in 2020):

Pittsburgh vs Cleveland: Pittsburgh (2)
New York Giants vs Dallas: Cowboys (3)
Minnesota vs Detroit: Minnesota (1)
Los Angeles Rams vs Arizona: Rams (5)
Las Vegas vs Denver: Las Vegas (4)
As MIN, LV, and LAR all won in this instance I would have scored 10 points (of a possible 15) for the Vikings (1), Raiders (4), and Rams (5).
