Spreads are up -- there is a game tonight and Saturday, FYI. Good luck! Only 12 games (and 24 points max) to go before the playoffs. Your goal is to make the top 3 in your division.

Spreads are up a day early for tonight's game... good luck! Remember that the top 3 in each division at the end of the regular season start fresh and go to the pickem playoffs!

Happy Thanksgiving! Game-a-palooza week... lots to choose from with a few very high spreads to consider... good luck! Spreads up at 1:30am.

New spreads up... FYI: For the Thanksgiving week, the spreads will be posted on Wednesday night so that you can pick the Thanksgiving games...

Spreads are up at 1:04pm... three college games with a 9:05am, Sat deadline. Good luck!

New spreads are up with three college games -- good luck!

Sorry for the delay with the spreads -- they are up now... hope everyone is safe and sound from the fires. Short pro schedule (12 games) with 3 college games. FYI: I screwed up the week one games (I need to re-enter the schedule), so if you are looking at your score summaries and Week 1 looks screwy, this is why -- should be corrected by the weekend. The standings are still accurate on the main page of your league.

New spreads are up... no spread for the UCLA game, or I would have put that up... good luck!

Ooops. I made a mistake on the Oklahoma game... Missouri won with the spread, so this has now been corrected. Spreads up tomorrow...

New spreads up with two college games thanks to Alan "Killer Lock" Klein...

Spreads are up with two college games this weekend... Good luck!

Okay, folks. We're cooking with gas now. Spreads are up and ready for picking. Good luck this season! -Rob, Commish

SuperBowl spread is up... if you are within the top 5 finalists, make sure to complete the tie breaker. Failure to enter a tiebreaker means you are predicting 0 total points scored by both teams and 0 yards as the longest TD.

I have gone with Indy -7.5 rather than 7 (the current spread) for the same reasons previous, and because the original spread two weeks ago was Indy -8.5. Good luck!

Those at 8 points and above must do the tiebreaker, otherwise, you're out of it.

So as to increase the adrenaline rush for those in contention, I set the spreads so that they are at 1/2 points rather than whole points to guarantee a winner and no tie in each game. FYI: the stated spread (which we are not using) for each of the championship games as of now is 3 points. Plan your picks accordingly.

Congrats to the folks in the playoffs. Spreads are now up. All FOUR games must be picked (or you can leave a game blank and the system will quickpick it for you). If you are not in the playoffs, you can still pick the games, but they will not be recorded in your total points.

Top 5 are the only ones who get money. Everyone in the playoffs starts with a fresh slate, so you are all on equal footing. Good luck!

By the way, if you haven't heard, our adoption has gone through and Marie and I will be the proud parents of a baby boy this Monday. So, if you smell a dirty diaper when making your picks, now you know where it might be coming from.

I think I fixed the year changeover bug. Thanks to all for not changing picks. The top 3 in each division have been decided. It was down to the wire in Division D. Good luck to the folks in the playoffs, and congrats to Richard for best record in the regular season.

Happy New Year! 4 games to go. Everyone should enter their tiebreaker predictions in the boxes provided (no entry = 0 for both tiebreakers). The tiebreaker game this year is the Rose Bowl.

Those with red asterisks next to their name have assured themselves a playoff spot. Good luck!

8 games to go, ladies and gentlemen. Good luck in the final 2 weeks and Happy Holidays! One game tonight. One game Saturday. TWO games on Christmas.

Standings are updated and spreads are up... there is a game tonight and a game Saturday, FYI.

Spreads are up. I made a mistake with the Indy game, with Houston, insted of Indy. It is fixed now. 5:09pm.

Spread tonight is Ravens +3... Cincy -3... if you want this game, email me before the deadline at rob@rrbbs.com.

Happy Thanksgiving! Spreads are up as of 11/22/06, 5:40pm. Three games tomorrow. One college game (Notre Dame @ USC). Good luck!

Biggest week of the year in terms of games. 19 games to choose from this weekend, including four college games.

REMEMBER: Thanksgiving games will be posted by Thursday morning, before the games. I will try and get it up by Wednesday night. If, for some reason, spreads are not up... look it up in your local paper, and email me your picks (if any) for Turkey Day.

Week 9 spreads up as of 9:38pm, with two college games this week... good luck!

Standings updated as of 12:25pm...

Spreads are up as of 10:15am. Three college games this week. Good luck!

Spreads are up at 10:55am. Sorry for the delay. No college games again this weekend, but some really strange "college-like" spreads in the NFL... Indy -18.5? Interesting. Good luck!

Spreads are up as of 6:20pm. Three college games in the mix, chosen for either their local flavor or the competitiveness factor. Need money from money league folks. Check the "COMMISH" message after you login!

Standings updated at 10:05am; nice job to the 4-0's this week!

New spreads are up as of 10:50am.

College game of the week is Michigan @ NOTRE DAME. Deadline to pick that game is 12:30pm, Saturday.

Now that the bug has been squashed, expect results to be up MUCH sooner (like Sunday night). Good luck!

Found it. Sometimes, in programming, I have noticed that these things take on a life of their own. I have no idea why this worked without problem last year, and then all of the sudden, I had to change the way that the system handles the week number. Anyway, all is well now, and the standings are updated. New spreads tomorrow at about noon.

In the immortal words of Steve Irwin, "Crikey!" I can't find the quickpick bug. I will be working on it some today... will report when I get it fixed.

I just noticed that there is something wrong with the quickpick functgion. Unfortunately, I have tried to fix it, but I have to go out for the day (Disneyland). So, for those of you with blanks in your boxes, don't worry. The quyickpick will appear later tonight... also, pfmunoz's picks will change. This will be a quickpick and the name will change to Scott Dunmire. pfmunoz was reporting picks for cam wallace yesterday, so those picks are cam's. Thanks for being patient while I get the bugs out. Now, off to Disneyland.

Spreads are up as of 12:25pm, PST.

For those in Rob's private league (or who played last year and who I forgot to contact), if you would like in, email Rob at rob@rrbbs.com.

Good luck this season!Two Monday night games, and I added the Oh State at TEXAS college game this week (deadline to pick that game is Saturday, just before game time).

If you are familiar with this website, you will notice some cosmetic changes. I am currently working on the look and feel of the site, as well as some of the inner workings of the site.

ABOUT THE SITE

Welcome to PickemFootball.com! The basic premise of the game is to pick four professional games straight up or against a point spread every week, competing against your friends, your family, your co-workers, whomever. Each player receives 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 points for a loss. The top players in a league at the end of the regular season start with a fresh 0 points and compete by picking all of the playoff games. The person with the highest points remaining at the end of the season is declared the league winner.

This is not a gambling site or a betting site. In fact, this game was created by a few guys who were tired of losing money on Vegas football parlays. For parlay losers like us, football is about heart and pride, baby! Still, if you are looking for a sportsbook, there are tons to choose from just by doing an internet search.

For a non-refundable fee of $5 per player per league per season (just under 30 cents a week, not counting the playoffs, if you make it), our site will provide your group with the scoring, the standings, and the rules of the game. Whether the winner gets a t-shirt, a trophy, a bronzed cleat, etc. is up to you and your league mates.

You may join or create as many leagues as you wish. The minimum number of players per league is two. We recommend selecting one person as the Commisioner (usually the person who creates the league), who will be responsible for setting the spreads. You can choose to use our own PickemFootball spreads (which are updated every Thursday morning by NOON Pacific Time), or you can create your own. You may make your league private by designating a league password, or you may make your league "public," allowing anyone to join.
