Pick the total score of each game and if you come within 7 points of the actual combined score without going over, you win the points you picked for that game. For example, if you pick the total points of both teams combined for a game to be 45 and the actual score is 49, you win the 45 points. If you had picked 41 or 50, you would not pick up any points. The closer you come without going over is the object of the game.
You pick the combined score of each playoff game of the week. Your points total will be carried over each week and into the Superbowl. The top score at the end of the tournament is the winner.
There will be a bonus for hitting the exact total in the Championship and Superbowl weeks of double the points. Only those weeks, not the first two playoff weeks.
The spread is up as a reference point only. It has nothing to do with point awards. You can change your points by editing your post, but have your final picks in by Saturday morning 10am.
Good Luck!

I made this game up and as the other game and I'm not aware it exists anywhere else, but I thought of a strategy that would apply here as to give one an edge. That would be to see the point picks of the other players and then adjust your point pick based on that information and the player's expected high low of the actual score. It's kind of like a poker game.

..........without going over.
I thought I could do this before Monday night's Boise St. vs. TCU game, but when those two combined for less that 30 points I was stunned. Who knows? :-??

Happy 2010 to all.
I'll leave this open so players can adjust their numbers before the first game kickoff. Please no adjustments after that.

It's a competitive game still because of the points structure. Nobody is out of the picture.
Um......I would like to revise my Green Bay at Arizona pick to 137 points. :ok:

...and when your done with tommee, I usually purchase a pick-six lottery ticket on Tuesday..........
Whales is just stuck in that snow shack and can't get out to even shovel the driveway, so he has plenty of time to study all of this. Besides, Chris is probably a amateur bookmaker in his spare time.
Way to go, but how come you didn't have the Zona/Packers game down pat. Come on, you could have guessed 130, we would have understood.
