I like the weekly pick'em idea!!

Pick'em with a point value (ie if there are 16 games in a week, you put 16 points on the game you are most comfortable with and 1 point on the one you are least comfortable with)? or a straight up pick 'em 1 for 1 on each game right?

Thanks for starting this up? Should we move it to a new thread though? so we are not high-jacking this one?

[horrorfan]

I have no idea so I'll take some guesses for fun. By the way, how does it work for those without a .5 e.g. Miami 9? What if they get 9 wins?

I think it's fine here.
It's what we are doing.

Of note, here are my four teams:
11 Seattle
8.5 Atlanta
8.5 New Orleans
6.5 Washington
----
34.5 TOTAL (32pt is avg 4-team win total. 33 is avg 4-team bet total... so I'm liking my picks.)

I have no idea so I'll take some guesses for fun. By the way, how does it work for those without a .5 e.g. Miami 9? What if they get 9 wins?

If team ties their prediction, we'll give everybody a 0.5pt score.

Oh, so we can choose Tie as well as Over/Under? That's the only way to get a tie score.

It's an over/under. Just pick over or under.
(Unless you want to research the bookies to find out if they have that option and how much it should be worth on a $1 bet - up to you.)

Ah ok. So the 0.5 is just a fair way to balance it out in case of the same number. I wasn't sure at first whether they could be whole numbers. Gotcha.
