I don't want to do preseason, for all the reasons Steel mentions. It's just rolling dice, there's no skill involved in picking preseason games.

I agree with Steel and Jor. I'm not interested in pre-season picks. If others want to do it, fine by me. But if so, I'd prefer to sit it out until the regular season starts, if that's ok.

Regular season and playoffs? I'm in.

I'm in for regular season.

If you want to do pre-season, perhaps count them separately.

My 2016 prediction: The Browns will still suck.

I'm out of this one, if you guys want to do the pickem' with preseason, go for it. Big Grin

Who cares? Seriously, this is what I don't get, it is just for fun.

You keep asking this. Obviously you care.

I wouldn't want to play preseason Pick'em for the same reason I wouldn't want to play War in a casino. There's no skill or knowledge in it. It is literally a crapshoot. It's not fun to me.

It looks like most people are against the preseason and I understand why, so we'll leave it out. Happy for someone else to organize one if they want to, but for the contests I'll be running, we'll stick with the three others.
