No prizes; just bragging rights
If you’d like to get in on the fun of picking this week’s winners in the NFL without having to risk any money or win any prizes, I’ve got the contest for you.
This is actually two contests:
- Simply pick the winner (Pick’em)
- Pick against the spread (Spread)
You can participate in either, both, or neither.
- No entries will be accepted after kickoff of the Thursday Night Football game.
- If you want to change your entry, simply click the appropriate link below and fill in another entry form. I will use the last one submitted prior to TNF kickoff as the official entry.
- The spreads used for the Point Spread contest will be the ones set by me at the time of writing the article and they will not change.

Bragging rights for this week
Pick’em
There were 51 entrants in this weeks Pick’em contest, up quite a bit from last week’s total of 43. Two people correctly projected the winners of 15 of this week’s 16 games, with the Chargers and the Steelers being the two misses. Great job by lakeside_jailers and Todd Morris this week! Six entrants were nipping at their heels with 14 correct picks, and another nine got 13 predictions right. A strong week by everyone.
Point Spread
We had 36 entries in the Point Spread contest (up from 30 entries last week). When you add in the extra complication of point spreads, DCinCA did a great job to score on 15 of 16 games this week! His only miss was very forgivable, since he picked the Commanders -9.5 vs the Saints. Munsoned21502 had an impressive 14 correct projections to take silver this week, while Pike1868 got the bronze with 12 correct prognostications. Three entrants tied with 11 correct picks while another five hit on 10 projections.
