Greetings!
The time has come, once again, for the 2022 WoV NFL Picks Game!!!
HOW TO PLAY:
The Rules will be as follows:
Format:
Top Three Paid as Follows:
First Place: $250 (This person will also win all Entry Fees)
Second Place: $150
Third Place: $100
(As you can see, I am adopting a fixed prize structure for Top Three this season.)
There are also two Consolation Prizes for those who do not finish in the Top 3. I will contribute $75 to each prize for $150 total.
We will also be doing the, "Perfection Bonus," again this year. As a reminder, ALL WINNINGS, including Perfection Bonuses, are paid out at the end of the season. If it is convenient for me, I might choose to pay out Perfection Bonuses as they are accrued, instead.
ENTRY FEES AND DISCLAIMERS:
1.)If you play, you are expected to pay the winner $25 if you do not win. There are no free dropouts. Even if you only play one week, you are agreeing to pay the winner if you lose. This is NOT a free contest.
2.) This is a social gambling game, so please check your jurisdictional laws to make sure that you do not participate unlawfully. It is not the responsibility of myself nor this website to ensure that you are participating lawfully.
3.) This is a game where the skill of participants (making picks) could result in a greater advantage.
4.) This game has no rake or house edge. In fact, I contribute funds to this game that make it +EV (all else equal) for everyone except myself. I do NOT directly collect any Entry Fees for this game, so participants are on the, "Honor System," to pay the winner.
5.) Mission146 is a resident of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania who administers this game from same AND is offering this contest legally under social gambling statutes due to the fact that there is no, "Rake," "House Edge," or any other mechanism by which Mission146 stands to profit.
6.) Other than being posted here on WizardofVegas, this game is NOT sponsored or sanctioned in any way whatsoever by LCB.org, ownership or management of LCB.org, or any other websites or other outlets so affiliated. ALL players volunteer to risk an equal entry fee and all (current) additional prizes are paid for, personally, by Mission146.
If you have a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
Consolation Prizes:
The first consolation prize will be the, "You suck," consolation prize. This prize goes to the player with the worst record, if there is a tie, then the winner shall be adjudicated by the normal tiebreaker rules.
The second consolation prize will be the, "Most Average," consolation prize which goes to the player that finishes the season closest to .500. Tiebreakers will also be adjudicated using the normal tie breaking Rule or the players may opt to split it.
Each of these consolation prizes pays $75.
Perfection Bonus
In order to win the Perfection Bonus, you MUST make a Confidence Pick and have a 6-0 week. The Perfection Bonus pays $10/week which accumulates if there are no perfect records for the week before. If more than one player has a perfect record that week, then any accumulated amount will be split between them. These bonuses will be paid out at the end of the season and tallied until then. Mission146 may also choose to pay out Perfection Bonuses on an as going basis if he finds it more convenient.
For simplicity, there will be no, "Breakage." Any accumulated Perfection Bonuses won that are not whole dollar amounts will round up to the nearest dollar.
If nobody wins the Perfection Bonus in Week 18 (and any weeks leading up to that without a winner) then I just save that money.
Rules:
1.) The winner will be determined by having the highest winning percentage. In the event of a tie for any prize, the winners will have the option of either splitting the take, or they may agree to PM me a Super Bowl pick prior to the Super Bowl, but after the combatants are known, consisting of the winning team, spread and TD's thrown; the winner will be determined in that order. If two Members PM me the same thing, they will BOTH be asked to change at least one aspect of their picks.
2.) The procedure for this will be that at some point on Thursdays, I will post the point spreads and Over/Unders from one source per week. I will likely use VegasInsider and the Spreads & Over/Unders I post will be constant and may be picked at any time prior to 10:00 EST on Sunday. If there is a Sunday game earlier than that, or a Saturday game, then you must submit Picks before kickoff of that game if you wish to pick the early game. Early Sunday Kickoffs will be announced in both threads.
2a.) There will be NO EXCEPTIONS WHATSOEVER to the deadline for any reason. Too much controversy.
2b.) This has never happened, but if you make, "Early Game," picks and then send a new set of Picks after the, "Early Game," has kicked off, you will receive a record of 0-5 for that week and be disqualified from all consolation prizes.
3.) Saturday/Sunday/Monday games will be the only games considered. Every player must pick exactly five winners against the Spread, exactly five Over/Unders, or a combination totaling exactly five. If Saturday games are available, then you must submit your set of Picks that includes a Saturday game at least ONE HOUR BEFORE KICKOFF of any Saturday games; your Picks will also be locked in for that week and cannot be changed if you have picked Saturday game(s).
3a.) A "Confidence Pick," is only considered ONE PICK for the purposes of Rule 3. Five unique Picks are still needed.
4.) Players may, "Skip," one week without making any picks, but they don't have to. If a player accidentally fails to submit picks, that will constitute the, "Skip," Week.
For players who join the contest in Week 2, Week 1 will constitute the, "Skip," week.
You cannot join the contest after Week 2.
4a.) If you wish to avoid unintentionally skipping a week, then you may submit Default Picks. However, in order to avoid controversy, (and make my life easier) Default Picks are limited to selecting sixteen NFL Teams and your picks will automatically be those teams in the order listed GAME TOTAL-OVER picks. If we go to your Default Picks, none of them shall be a Confidence Pick and you do not qualify for the Perfection Bonus that week.
4b.) On a case-by-case basis, I will consider allowing Picks to be made in advance of the Lines being posted by me. If I do this, it can only be for that week's Picks. (IOW---you might be permitted to make your picks on Tuesday for the following Sunday's games)
4(b)(i) For clarification, what that means is that you may submit the teams you want against the spread, (ex. Patriots-Over, Patriots -x) without knowing what Thursday's spread is going to be. However, if the spread when you send them to me and the spread posted on Thursday differs, then your Picks will be amended to reflect Thursday's spread (or whatever spread is posted)
5.) If a player fails to make picks for more than one week, he/she forfeits any right to a consolation prize, but may continue to play. Every week of missed picks other than the allotted, "Skip Week," will result in an 0-5 record for all weeks missed.
6.) Picks will be PM'ed to me at any point prior to 10:00 a.m. EST Sunday, all picks will be openly posted by me between that time and kickoff.***
***I will accept Picks from Members who are banned during the course of the season provided they were not banned at the start of the season. For these picks, I wilkl PM you my E-Mail address and you can send them there.
7.) EdCollins will generally post results and updated standings shortly after Monday night's game. On very rare occasions, EdCollins' availability might require that I grade Picks by hand, if that happens, it will be on Tuesday or Wednesday. Please, "Self-Police," your own Standings to see if there is an inaccuracy. There hasn't been one in four years, so I trust EdCollins' program and usually do not double check.
8.) CONFIDENCE PICK: You may make one, "Confidence Pick," per week, though you don't have to. Your, "Confidence Pick," must be made expressly clear in your PM. The CONFIDENCE PICK result will count either as two wins or two losses, if made.
8a.) A "Confidence Pick," is only considered ONE PICK for the purposes of Rule 3. Five unique Picks are still needed.
8b.) If you wish to qualify for the, "Perfection Bonus," that week, you MUST make a Confidence Pick.
9.) "Offsetting Picks"
Any Picks made that directly offset one another shall constitute TWO LOSSES and will disqualify the person making such offsetting picks from winning any consolation prize. "Offsetting Picks," are picking two opposite things to happen in the same game.
10.) PM REMINDERS: I will GENERALLY send reminders to make your Picks on sometime Saturday if I have not received them already. Reminders are to be considered a courtesy not a guarantee, everyone is accountable for remembering to make their Picks whether or not reminders are sent. If anyone chews me out for missing reminders, I'll probably just stop sending them entirely.
TIME
1.) The first Sunday of the Season is September 11th, Lines will be posted on Thursday, September 8th.
PICK FORMAT
I WILL be enforcing a uniform Pick format this year for all Picks as of Week 3. For the first two weeks, if you send me Picks that are not in the correct format, I will acknowledge that I have received your Picks by re-sending them to you in the correct format.
1.) No Line Breaks
2.) For Spread picks, simply put the team nickname and the spread. (Ex: Bengals +5)
3.) For Over/Unders, simply put the team nickname for EITHER team, and the Over or Under amount. (Ex: Bengals OVER 25)
4.) To designate a Confidence Pick, simply put a hyphen and, "Confidence," after the pick. (Ex: Bengals OVER 25-Confidence)
5.) Place your screen name followed by a colon (:) above your set of Picks.
So, a full set of picks might appear:
Mission146:
Buccaneers -15
Buccaneers OVER 52
Jaguars +12
Jaguars UNDER 42
Jets +4-Confidence

Greetings!
The Week 2 Lines are as follows:
Jets 6.5 @ Browns -6.5 O/U 40
Buccaneers -2.5 @ Saints 2.5 O/U 44
Panthers 2.5 @ Giants -2.5 O/U 43.5
Patriots -2 @ Steelers 2 O/U 40
Colts -4 @ Jaguars 4 O/U 45.5
Dolphins 3.5 @ Ravens -3.5 O/U 44.5
Commanders 2 @ Lions -2 O/U 48.5
Seahawks 8.5 @ 49ers -8.5 O/U 41
Falcons 10.5 @ Rams -10.5 O/U 46.5
Texans 10 @ Broncos -10 O/U 45
Cardinals 5.5 @ Raiders -5.5 O/U 51.5
Bengals -7.5 @ Cowboys 7.5 O/U 42
Bears 10 @ Packers -10 O/U 42
Titans 10 @ Bills -10 O/U 48.5
Vikings 2 @ Eagles -2 O/U 50.5
I'm going to PM everyone who played last week, everyone who posted in the Discussion thread (but did not play last week) within the last few days as well as two people from whom I received PM's indicating a desire to play. This should be completed within the next 30-45 minutes as I have something else to do first.
Reminders will be sent Saturday, probably early in the day. I think I will do two more weeks of PM'ing when the lines go up after this, and then after that, it will probably just be Saturday reminders to those who have not yet made their Picks.
To get everyone in the habit of looking for the Lines, today's PM (and the Thursday PM for the next two weeks) is going to contain a link to the lines, but not the actual lines themselves.
The Week 2 Lines are as follows:
Jets 6.5 @ Browns -6.5 O/U 40

I'm going to PM everyone who played last week, everyone who posted in the Discussion thread (but did not play last week) within the last few days as well as two people from whom I received PM's indicating a desire to play. This should be completed within the next 30-45 minutes as I have something else to do first.
Reminders will be sent Saturday, probably early in the day. I think I will do two more weeks of PM'ing when the lines go up after this, and then after that, it will probably just be Saturday reminders to those who have not yet made their Picks.
To get everyone in the habit of looking for the Lines, today's PM (and the Thursday PM for the next two weeks) is going to contain a link to the lines, but not the actual lines themselves.
