Okay I'm going to take this over, welcome welcome to NFL Season at Abovetopsecret.com! Okiedokie so last year I think Ugie did a pretty bang up job of
explaining how this is going to work, so I am going to give credit to him and post his rules since there were some questions. I am not as fancy with
the formatting as he is but if you want to see how the contest was run last year then please see here:
2013-2014 BTS NFL Picks Contest!!
Also I just created the
2014-2015 NFL BTS Trash Talking Thread so head over there
with all that pent up aggression.
This thread is for picks ONLY!!!!!!!!!
Here are the rules, and for the record, this is for bragging rights only! No points to be awarded this year. (unless the mods chime in and allocate
the prizes/points when the results are posted.)

member edits for errors are allowed until the first game is played on Thursday (if posted before that) and a day before Sundays game.

No Points Spread
For simplicity, this contest is simply picking the winner of each game.

In the case of ties for the best record of the week, all who sport the most correct picks will be awarded the weekly winners award.
Weekly results will be posted on Tuesdays. (Obviously except for this week in which results will be posted Wednesday).
