The deadline for entries in the 2011 Over/Under NFL Challenge is on the horizon. The Locks needs to receive all submissions (tbrons@vidacommunication.com) by 11:00 p.m. (Pacific) on Wednesday, September 7. With the economy continuing to stick hot pokers in all of our asses, the Locks has decided to issue a grand fuck you to economists everywhere and raise the entry fee for the pool. We'll be collecting $20 a head this season, meaning better payouts for better predictions.
The rules for the Over/Under challenge remain the same as always. Review the predicted win totals for each team as provided by the Las Vegas Hilton (see numbers to the left) and select three teams that you think will win less games than the Vegas prediction (Unders) and 3 teams that you think will win more games than the Vegas prediction (Overs).
You choose your 6 teams and email them to me before the first game of the NFL season (scheduled for September 8) and the deadline referenced above. At the end of the season, whoever has the most correct teams wins the pool. Simple enough. We have tie-breakers covered though I won't go into the complex abacus-required mathematics in this post.
Once all entries are received, we will post them all on Absolute Locks so we can all follow along throughout the season. As you'll see, we've also carved out some valuable real estate to honor last season's victor, none other than Screech Powers aka Eric Burke. Pick prudently and you may find yourself in the Champion Corner come this time next year.
Spread the word liberally. All are welcome as long as they will pay the entry fee.
