Tough menu, I hate picking so many road teams. Are you doing any NFL contest this weekend?

I could. I'm unsure how I want to do it though. Try to come up with a interesting type of game to play, or do multi tiebreakers because it's only 4 games. Maybe I should just do a spreads or o/u game that covers the whole weekend.
Yes, most people will pick the home teams. You can get the spreads and totals at vegasinsider.com. they have up to the minute numbers from sportsbooks.
I think over/under would be best. Then it gives players an oppurtunity to receive a bonus point on a successful pick.
