We had a close finish again this week. Come join the action!

Week six finished with a tie between @bola and @generation.easy that needed to be broken by the Monday night tie-breaker. The Cardinals beat the Jets, 28-3. So, the win went to @bola, who picked 30 points, compared to @generation.easy’s 42. We had twelve participants again in Week 6 and a total pot of 5.936 SD. The pot grew from the 5.22 SD payout the previous week. Let’s see if we can make a trend of that!

Also - let me know if you have any suggestions for future weeks, including playoff ideas and winnings. For the playoffs, I was thinking that I could add some or all of the Steem payout to the pot – assuming that the prices still necessitate the split between liquid rewards.

Here is the proof of payout for Week 6:

Here’s how it all works

Every Thursday, I post the weekly schedule from NFL.com. (Note: Thursday night games are not included in the weekly picks.)

This is what you’ll need to do:

1. Click on my post, check out the week’s schedule, and use your best football knowledge to try to figure out which team will win each match-up.
2. Once you have decided on your winners for each game, simply type the names of your winning teams in the comment section. At the beginning of your comment, type in caps: MY PICKS.
3. Choose the winner and what you believe the point total will be for the Monday night game. This will serve as the tie-breaker in the event of a tie (which I’m sure we will often have), so do not forget to submit your points.

Only one set of picks per user. All picks must be submitted by 11:00pm (23:00), New York Time, on Saturday.

This is what I will do:

1. Once your picks and points are submitted, I will go through and verify them by replying CONFIRMED and copy-pasting your submission. I will then take a screen shot of both comments demonstrating that they match. If there are any disputes, the screen shot will be submitted as evidence. Once your picks are confirmed, they cannot be changed – so do not submit until you’re 100% sure of your choices!
2. In the event of a tie, the person closest to the points total for the Monday night game will be the winner. If still tied after the tie-breaker, then the payout will be split between the tying parties.
3. There is a 5 SBD minimum payout each week, plus the initial SBD author rewards from the post – so there is no cost for submission. I will transfer the 5 SBD plus the full SBD author rewards to the winner(s), I will take a screenshot of the transfers, and I will announce the winner(s) and payout in the following week’s PICKS post.

That’s it. It’s simple, it’s fun, and if we get enough interest in this, the rewards can grow rather large from week to week! As mentioned, there’s no cost to play and you don’t even have to know a lot about football to have a chance of winning! Anything can happen from one week to the next, so have fun with it!
