NFL Picks contest - Week 17 - NEED MORE PLAYERS (2 Viewers)

[brains613]

Doing it again!

H/T - @k9dr

Pick the winners of the week 17 NFL games - no point spread. Slight difference this time regarding prizes. Each player will offer up a prize. A dealer button, sample set, single chip, whatever. You can take a picture and post it with your picks, or just mention what your offering is. The winning player will choose his prize AFTER a winner is determined.
NO DIBS!

Enter your picks in this thread using the spoiler tags if you want your picks to remain secret until kickoff.

It's all Sunday games this weekend, so entry/edit deadline is 1255 EST, Sunday, 03 JAN.

Contest is open to all PCF members with a minimum of 25 posts. (If we have an international winner, the owner of the prize chosen can opt to send to me, and I'll cover the costs to move it along.)

***IMPORTANT***
Please make your picks in the order shown here. And please use the team nickname spelled out. (Standardization helps tracking.)

I will be in Vegas thru Jan 4th, so I will offer up a single $5 chip, or a 5 $1s from the Las Vegas Blvd/Tropicana Ave casino of your choice - but you must make your choice by Sunday night - I leave @ noon on Monday, and will need to shop for the chip(s). Obv. no guarantee of mintiness - I'll be running in and out to catch the flight.

Casinos In the area:
MGM
NY NY
Excalibur
Tropicana

If the winner is determined early enough (after the early games), I can also pick up chips from:
Monte Carlo
Aria
Cosmo
Bellagio
Flamingo
Linq
Harrah's
Bally's
Paris
Planet Hollywood
Ellis Island

Chipguide usually has pretty accurate representations of chips, but since I have none in hand, I cannot make guarantees - just a bunch of options.

I'll make my picks at a later date.

The spreadsheet is here

I probablly won't update the sheet during the games this time as I'm in Vegas, but I will be watching the early games with money riding on it, so if I can get my phone to work the sheets I will continue to delete the losers when I can. I will be in a card room during the later games, so those may also be updated as well, but no promises.

 

[detroitdad]

I think my team score is to low. Don't know what I was thinking. To late to update it?

 

[k9dr]

I'm in. Does the winning player get all the prizes or does he choose just one ?

Bills
Patriots
Falcons
Lions
Giants
Cowboys
Colts
Bengals
Steelers
Texans
Chiefs
Broncos
Panthers
Cardinals
Rams
Packers - 55

I will put up a commemorative chip from the upcoming Suicide Queen Melee

DD - Bumped up to 44
K9 - winner picks one.

 

[detroitdad]

K9 - winner picks one

I misunderstood. I thought the winner of this contest received everyone's entry fee? That would be cool.

 

[k9dr]

I misunderstood. I thought the winner of this contest received everyone's entry fee? That would be cool.

It does seem like that would be the way to go, otherwise only one player is "losing".

 

[detroitdad]

It does seem like that would be the way to go, otherwise only one player is "losing".

I think were all on different pages. Zombie is offering a choice of two different prizes for his entry fee. I think he was answering you concerning his prize.

 

[k9dr]

I think were all on different pages. Zombie is offering a choice of two different prizes for his entry fee. I think he was answering you concerning his prize.

I see that now in reference to PZ - either one $5 chip or 5 $1 chips.

For the overall contest, it seems like the winner should get all the prizes.

I will be adding something else to my prize to enhance its value.

 

[Poker Zombie]

The winning player will choose his prize AFTER a winner is determined

I was under the impression that there is only 1 loser, but at the same time I'd hate to see anyone "sandbag" by offering something pretty meh. At the same time a meh player could still risk junk for a possible windfall. I'll let @brains613 clarify - it's his thread. Just remember, I leave Vegas Monday, so prize selection had best be decided by then, otherwise my selection of expendable chips is... meh.

 

[brains613]

Hmm. Where did we go wrong? I had it in my head that the winner is choosing his prize from ONE OTHER player. Whichever one he likes. Is that the wrong way to go?

All the prizes? I'm fine with that.

Brains, you missed a pick for the Steelers game

Cheers. Fixed.

 

[brains613]

Seems like all the prizes is the way to go. Any objections? Silence equals consent.

@joker80 , @Forest@Farmington , @manamongkids , @detroitdad , @bivey @Poker Zombie , @k9dr

 

[brains613]

My prizes. Winner can choose either the sample set of my custom labeled PGI 8V's, or ONE of the DB's pictured.

 

[detroitdad]

All the prizes? I'm fine with that.

excellent
