For point spreads-
footballlocks.com
Since the Oregon Lottery quit point spreads, what we are using has some whole numbers. Add .5 to the number so we don't have to worry about ties.
Here are the rules:
1. We've eliminated the rule about pic king the same team twice in a row. However, if the same teams are picked week after week, we'll reinstate it.
2. The person making the week's selections must post them no later than Tuesday at 6:00 PM, Pacific Time* preceding the games.
3. All choices must be in no later than 3 hours before the first game's opening kickoff.
4. Once your choices are made, they cannot be changed, except each player is allowed one (1) change per season.
5. Rudi and I make the rules. No arguments.
6. No political discussions are allowed. There are other threads for that.
7. Break the rules and you will be banned for the season.
8. BE NICE TO EACH OTHER!
9. We normally pick a game from each conference. In cross-conference games, the home team determines the conference.
10. We will pick 3 games each week: the 3rd being either the Sunday night or Monday night game. You don't get your pick in you don't get credit for a win. It's a game sports fans. No money involved.
*Since I live in the pacific time zone, I get to choose.

SI The new NFL Complete Winners Circle
After years of procrastination , I've finally completed a SI The new NFL past winners board. Going back to 2002 I think the inception of the yearly NFL picking contest. I've included hyperlinks to the wining post. Wins were for the regular season. If I made some mistakes drop me a PM. I'm submitting this to Carolyn for insertion into the header. If anybody else want to be ambitious and add anything pertinent. Such as including best winning % . By all means, do so.and resubmit to Carolyn.
