    Reminder - get your picks in ASAP. NCAA games tomorrow, and NFL on Sunday.</p>

    Someone needs to put Petey in his place.</p>

    $100 for the winner of each week's NCAA Pick Em and another $100 for the winner of each week's NFL Pick Em.</p>

    Admins can't win the prize, we'll give it to the 2nd place winner in that case.</p>

    If we get LOTS more people playing the contests, we'll up the prize.</p>

    We should also thank BetUS.com for offering their generous prize of $250 per contest, as well.</p>

    </p>

    Yes, we'll have NBA Pick Em</p>

    It's going to be a bit different, since they don't play games by the week.</p>

    (and just to clarify, not this week's picks, but starting with the next week's)</p>

    We found a slight issue with the contest and are making a rules change for next week. Basically going back to the 1st week's rules.</p>

    As soon as we have spreads for any games, you will be able to pick against those spreads. For games without odds, you can make blind picks - pick a side without knowing the spread. The spreads move throughout the week, so you will have to check your picks periodically to assure your picks are truly what you want, considering the latest spread.</p>

    Those who make their picks on Sunday morning will (and always did) have the best information and thus, theoretically, the best chance to win. You can make picks on Monday or Tuesday just to at least have a chance to win the prize.</p>

    Turns out that for some games, there's no lines until late in the week or even Sunday morning. We want people to be able to pick for all the games - the more games to pick, the less chance of ties. People who picked early in the week may only have had the chance to pick 15 games instead of 16.</p>

    My strategy to play the contest would be to pick early and monitory my picks as the week progresses. As injury reports come out, I hear things on TV, etc., I might want to change my picks. I would absolutely want to check on my picks on Sunday as close to kickoff of the first game, in any case.</p>

    </p>

    Thats true about picks coming on later during the week. I missed a game for ncaa this week and had to pick another one that just came on morning today.</p>

    So yeah, check often and definitely check during the day that games are playing to make changes or add games that come out new.</p>

    Oh great, so I'm the one landing in the money spot in the two weeks preceding the money. Now with my luck, I'll never be in that position again. </p>

    Bump.</p>

    Not too many played the NCAA Pick Em - a pretty good chance to win $100+$250, all things being equal.</p>

    Not too late to get in your picks for the NFL Pick Em and a chance to win $100+$250 also.</p>
