AW SHUCKY DUCKY QUACK QUACK IT'S FOOTBALL TIME!

The board hasn't been as active lately, so I hope we still have people around who are willing to participate. Cus football season on this site is my favorite time of year! LOOKIN AT YOU @MESSIAH.

For those of you who haven't done this before or need a refresher, here's how it works:

Every week, I'll post up the week's games and the point spreads for each. You will pick the winners for all of the games, getting a point for each correct answer and two points for a correct upset. You can pick as many upsets as you want, but will only get up to two bonus points. For our purposes, an upset is considered as being an underdog in the official Vegas point spread beating the favored team. You get a positive point (or two) for a correct choice and a negative point for an incorrect choice. Therefore, after a week of 16 games, the best score you could possibly get is 18-0.

While you aren't required to give reasons for picks or scores for the games, for the purposes of discussion it is highly encouraged.

I'll track the season-long percentages of all participants. However, you cannot miss any more than three weeks worth of predictions before you are discounted from the final tally. Point rewards will change come playoff time, and I'll go over those changes at that time.

Additionally, you have the chance to earn points for pre-season prediction categories. These predictions are not required, but can only help you. You do not get negative points for incorrect predictions. Those predictions can be made in this thread.

Here are the categories for season-long predictions:

SUPER BOWL CHAMPION (15 points)
CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS (1 from AFC, 1 from NFC, 7 points each)
DIVISION CHAMPIONS (4 from each conference, 4 points each)
PLAYOFF TEAMS (6 from each conference, 2 points each)
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER (5 points)

If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know. For most of you this should be old hat, we've been doing this for years. Unfortunately I only have record of champions since 2009-2010.

PAST CHAMPIONS:
2009-2010: SKS
2010-2011: Everlong
2011-2012: Everlong
2012-2013: JDD
2013-2014: Everlong (71.57%)
2014-2015: Everlong (77.41%)
2015-2016: CMPUNKFAN (71.04%)

That does it. Get your season-long predictions any time before the season officially opens, and I'll add them to this thread. I will also track season-long progress here. Note that you can edit your season predictions at any time, but I will no longer accept submissions after kickoff of the first game of week one.

I think the Vikings have a minuscule chance of winning their division, let alone getting to the NFC Championship or (god forbid) the Super Bowl. I honestly don't see any reason to buy the hype.

Changed my NFC East pick and a wild card choice with the Romo Cowboy injury.

Also, Tim, I was wondering, I'm leaving on vacation Friday and won't be back until some time Sunday, I was wondering if there was some way to make my picks early for Week 1?

I'm leaving this coming Friday and won't be back until sometime on September 11, the first Sunday of the season. I may be back before the 1 pm games and I might not be, but I'll definitely be gone for the Thursday game, etc.
