$85 Entry (or $5 per week)
How it works:
Each week of the NFL reg. season, you'll be picking 3 things for each
game!
1. choose a winner vs given point soread (worth 3 pts, if correct)
2. choose a straight-up game winner (worth 2 pts, if correct)
3. select Over or Under total score of 40 1/2 (worth 1 pt, if correct)
In addition....
From your "vs spread" picks, choose one as your Best Bet
(worth 5 pts, if correct)
Predict TOTAL SCORE of Mon. nite game (to be used as a possible
tie-breaker)
Poolie with most points, each week, will win weekly pot! If a tie for pts
exists, poolie whose Mon. nite total score prediction that is closest to
ACTUAL total score, will win...
Prizes:
$4 of every $5 collected from each poolie, each week, will constitute
weekly prize.
(amount depends on number of poolies playing)
The other $1 per poolie, per week, will go into a pot to distribute to
poolie's with most total points at the end of the regular season.
Size of pot, and number of poolies pay'd will depend on number
of poolies who play all year.
Deadline:
Pick must be submitted before first game o' the week.

Week 17 TRASH TALK: (the Commish's comments in yellow)
Fly: I am thankful that CK Cheesedude isn't in more pools...he truly is
a guy who eats, breathes and loves sports...and if he entered more in
PoolsRus, he would be consistantly in the top...trust me...nobody can
hold a candle to his overall sports IQ...as for NFL weekly picks...may
the best man, or woman, win...good luck to all...flip those coins... does
Cheesedude hold incriminating photos????
Dejafly Part Deux: I would like to congratulate Svelte Pundit for his
Suicide Pool win...and for trying really hard in the Fantasy Pool! A very
nice payday for you!! Good luck to all those in the weekly pool...near
the top. It is one of the hardest football pools ever! Have a safe and
happy new year all poolies...and a great big thank you to The Commish
for running such a great site!! Sappy, sappy, sappy! (but I did blush a
little!)
Dejafly Part Deux (part 2): To all you donkey's that believed I would
take the high road and not shit-talk you about how great CK
Cheeseheads truly are....really don't know me!! I have set the bar in a
pool, and now, you all have something to try to do!! Just remember
...you can only TIE my greatness...and it will never happen!!! I am
thinking of NOT playing next year...unless The Commish gets some
REAL football fans to compete! As the great Al Bundy once said... "Polk
High football rules!!!" I am also thinking of getting a prize for the day
should someone DOES beat me!! too much thinking....though you
HAVE set a high bench-mark! Curious to see how many more games
before undefeated streak ends...
Fly: Cheesedude...I take it ALL back...GO COWBOYS!! as if....
Beantown Trolley: Slight correction Commish....Beantown Trolley as
won TWO weeks of weekly picks pool!!! I stand corrected...but then
why aren't you in 1st?? You sand-bagging bastard!
Cursee Boy: King Cursee looking to cash in, in week 17...and then kick
some poolsRus ass come playoffs!!! All hail the King! I'm just looking
for my keys....
Beantown Trolley: Third time is a charm...only two-time winner, soon
to be 3...reminds me of that Supertramp ditty..."Dreamer"....
D-Day: C'mon Iceman...just need one good week!! Thanks for running
pool Commish!! Happy New Year to all!! GO LIONS GO!!! And that one
good week better be THIS week....since it's the last one...
Alladin Sane: I was hoping to keep this hush-hush, but somehow, The
Commish found out and asked me to post this. Yeah...SOMEHOW I
found out....might have been that not-so-anonymous email?
Alladin Sane receives another handicapping award to add to his already
crowded mantel...the prestigious BET365 Handicapper Of The Week for
Week 14. As always...it's good to be Alladin Sane!! Thanks again
Commish, for a great season....and Happy New Year everyone! Ahhhh,
the crowded mantel...I feel your pain! (though mine are full of
bobbleheads!) Definitley a fun year, if not so great....
Week 17 Epilogue:
...this is the saddest time of year, as another season of NFL football comes to an
end...luckily, there's still playoffs!! Speaking of luckily...Why Why Why comes
thru with a weekly win to end a 20-year drought!! Oh...it only SEEMS like 20
years! ...other poolies to get hot at the wrong time are FYM and Hinger...unless
they're warming up for Playoff Pool...Slice Of Pi earns last :-( o' the season,
narrowly edging the old man...I guess the nuts don't fall far from the tree!
...final year-end prize money distribution has been determined...and congrat's
to: 1st: Gonzo $436, 2nd: J.E.T.S. $260, 3rd: JYD $140, 4th: Cornhuskers $90 and,
of course, a full refund of $85 to The Underdogs, who made every pick, every
week, and valiantly earns this year's "Alladin Sane Award"...I'd like to thank
all those who participated in this year's pool...without you, there is no pool!...
hope to see you all in the Playoff version...which is now ready to go!!! (click here
for details)...and in about 8 months or so, we'll do this all over again!!
