Hey folks! Since the NFL Season is right around the corner I wanted to announce a fun little contest that I am running again this year. The rules are pretty basic.
You pick which team you think will win each game every week.
Picks must be made on the Yahoo Pick-em league website
You must make your picks at least 5 minutes before the start time of each game.
You get one point for each correct pick you make.
Ties are determined by choosing the scores of two pre-determined games and and highest and lowest scoring teams each week (see the bottom of the pick listings for where to put in these choices).
The person with the most correct picks at the end of the regular season wins the championship.
Official rules are listed here:

Now for the prizes
I've got four pieces of art that I'm going to put up for prizes. 1st place will get first choice, 2nd place will get the second choice, 3rd place gets third choice and the remaining piece will be given out via random drawing at the end of the season.
However, to be eligible for this drawing, you must participate every week. This is just to hopefully keep people participating all season.
If you are interested, let me know by posting in this thread. I'll PM the invite to everyone that wants in.
Here are the prizes that I have lined up for the winners this year:
Ms. Marvel by Joseph Mackie
Scarlet Witch by Jeff Moy
Spider-man by Scott Dalrymple
Wolverine by Scott Dalrymple
As a extra special bonus, Brian (Marvelcap) has offered this great NU52 Green Arrow sketch by the legendary George Perez as a prize for the first player to have a perfect week (any week). Thanks Brian!!!
If there is no perfect week by the end of the season Brian will keep the piece and auction it off to benefit his son's school.
A few folks have offered up some pieces of art to give out for random weekly prizes to the top pickers. Thanks go out to TC(mean green), Lindsey(Demona) and John (brawny)! I'll post when these will be up for grabs.
If anyone else has some nice art they'd like to donate as prizes, I would appreciate any help.
I hope everyone like the art offered up this year. May the best prognosticator win!!
GOOD LUCK!!!
