    If you're willing to run it, I'm willing to send a check. Collect money before season starts...whoever isn't paid by start of week 1 is out. Not enough people sign up/pay before season, you shred my check.

    Doesn't have to be a huge amount...just something to give us something to play for.

    Just my 2 cents

    $20 a man...
    20 people enter...
    winner take all at the end of the regular season....
    $400 goes to the winner....

    Sounds like a plan to me....
    Take me piece by piece.....

    I like it

    My proposal would be 3 college games, 3 NFL games, and you have to pick the monday night game.

    A twist could be that you have to pick one lock each week. This pick would be worth 2 or 3 wins.

    Lot of potential with this...let's make it happen

    I would rather just stick with Pro games...
    But whatever the original poster wants to do, is good with me....

    Pick 5-6 pro games a week....
    Winner take all at the end of the year.....
    $20 a man...

    Simple as that....right??
    Everyone get their picks in by Wednesday.....
    Take me piece by piece.....

    just pro is fine. picking NFL games is a million times more difficult than picking college winners.

    how about 5 games each week and you have to pick the monday night game (making it 6 total for the week)?

    lets get to 20 members

    then we can have a few votes on the rules and such

    20 $ checks sounds like it could work - we could vote on that too
