I'm in!
You know what might be a cool idea? Having everyone playing do "final" picks during the preseason (like predicting the Super Bowl champions, NFC/AFC champions, winners of the respective divisions) and then add however many they got right on to the final score at the end of the postseason.

We can run that as a parallel competition, it would be interesting to see as the season unfolds.

My prediction is that the NFL will officially die.

Not this year. The NFL is at an all time high for popularity.

Is this happening on Yahoo this year? I can't be arsed to type in 12-16 winners each week when I can just click the one I want on a website. Also, the ability to change picks and having the tiebreakers is crucial.

I'll be doing it on here as before, and using the same spreadsheet as last year. You never had to type out each pick; I posted a list and people just had to delete the team they didn't think would win. I don't want to make people sign up for another site either.
No need for tie-breakers. If there's a draw, there's a draw.
Also I allowed submissions all the way through until Wednesday at midnight. If a player gets hurt between then and the game, and it affects the outcome, well that's just bad luck. This is just a bit of fun, I don't want to over complicate things.

I'm in. I agree with Steel that I prefer Yahoo for convenience. But this will teach me to pay attention to the league.
Go Chargers.

I'm happy to use Yahoo for fantasy football as that makes sense (I don't even want to consider how much data tracking goes into that), but when all you have to do is pick 12 - 16 winning teams each week, it's not much overhead.
Maybe next year I'll make a dedicated forum page for it where you just click who you want to win.

Good luck everyone!
Ah now, come on. You're up against a man whose probably going to pick based on which jerseys he likes better this week (me). Surely you can beat that.
