Are you ready for some football?
Hard to believe, but NFL season is already here. It’s only pre-season, you say? Perhaps, but you can get a jump start on the regular season by filling out your picks for Ballhype’s latest contest, 17 Games.
Slightly more complicated than our Golden Picks contests (which includes both NFL and college game picks), but way simpler and less likely to result in divorce or bankruptcy than betting with a bookie, 17 Games just requires that you pick one team per week to win. You receive or lose points based on how well or poorly your team performed against the spread. Dude or dudette at the end of the regular season with the most points wins the official NFL game day ball.
What I like about 17 Games… I used to be good at math, but I now get headaches if forced to calculate odds. Nice thing here is that you don’t have to pretend to do mental math. Just look at the spread, figure out who you think has the potential to beat it, and make your pick.
We have some fun stuff planned for this contest, but I’ll let our new guest columnist have the honors in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, check out 17 Games, tell your friends, and make some picks.
