T1B

Fans, the first game of the 2024 NFL season kicks off in just over a week.

SM and I will again be sharing duties for 3BB this season, and I will be handling the first half of the season.

Our defending champion is -----> Steve Jobs.

I have posted the rules for our game, and if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, you can post them in this thread, or hit me or SM up with a PM if you'd like.


Rules
I (or later in the season, SM) will post the lines for the weekly NFL games.
You may make between 0 to 3 picks in a given week.
You may pick vs. the spread and/or vs. the over/under.
Each participant may make ONE "Triple Play Lock of the Year" pick at any time in the season they like. That pick will be worth +3 or -3 for you.
The contest will run all the way to the Super Bowl, so there will be 22 weeks of games.
In order to be eligible for the title at the end of the season, you must make a minimum of 44 picks this season.
The player with the highest winning percentage will be declared CHAMPION.

Kudos to Softball Bat an Screwy

Thanks for running the games again.

IND +2.5
CAR +4.5

A few questions please

What is the entry deadline? Anytime before kick off?

Can we stagger the (up to) three picks per week, or have to submit in one post?

Can I pick twice on one game, once on spread and once on over/under?

Do the odds change?

Thanks

Hi Iron Mike, and I'm glad to see you here!

You can make a pick for a game anytime before the kickoff of that game.
So yes, you can "stagger" picks. All of your picks for a week do not have to come in one post.

Yes, you cam make two picks on the same game -- one pick against the spread and one pick on the over/under.

Once the lines for the week have been posted, they will not ever change.

YEEEAAAHHHHH!!

I am FIRED UP for the 2024-25 edition of 3BB. Finally a reason to come to this Board other than Tune Town.

Welcome to the trolls. Make your picks in a timely and Admin-friendly fashion, keep the conversation on football rather than politics, and tip your waitresses, and we'll all get along fine.

I see that Bat and Screwy have decided to flip the seasonal Administrative responsibilities. I'm actually not wild about that, but we'll see how it goes.

Let's have a good year and a good time.

I only missed that one by 33 pts. lol
I see StrawMan also got sledgehammered on that one.

Lot of posters getting mucked on the .5 point, possibly more.

Seems there should be sledgehammer of the year award. 33 points will be tough to beat.

WHO DAT!
