It’s about time again for this year’s edition of the NPP NFL Pick ‘em. Will Viceroy be able to repeat after his 9 pick victory last year? Will the 2006 champion Kender return to glory after his 7th place finish last year? Or will Scotsman ban everyone after Week 16 so that only he can make his picks and win the competition? We’ll find out over the next seventeen weeks!
Rules:
Deadline for picks will be one minute before kickoff. If there is a Thursday game in a week and you miss picking that game you can still pick the weekend games provided you do so by the usual deadline. There is also a Saturday game in Week 16 which will be treated as if it’s a Thursday game, with the usual Sunday deadline for Sunday’s games.
If you miss picking for three weeks, you’re out. I’m not totaling that shit up again. This also means that Week Three will be the last week that you can join, but at that point you’re probably only trying to beat Dirty Hun or manbooba.
Make the picks in the order that the games are posted by me. This just makes my life a million times easier when I move it over to Excel. Also, when you’re making your picks, please don’t bold (or underline, or italicize, or…) the winners. List only the teams you are picking.
If there’s anything I’m missing here or anything that you think should be added let me know.

Has it been confirmed what happens when you miss a week? Do you get the lowest score of those who picked or all losses?
All losses was what I had planned. I can't believe I forgot to mention that, but I guess that's what I get for writing this up at midnight. Anyway, there were a few times last year where people didn't make picks but still only ended up four or five picks out of first place for the week because everyone was so close and it didn't strike me as overly fair to the people who actually made their picks. So, if you don't make picks this year you'll get a zero. As long as there's no huge objections, of course.
Didn't realise it started this week, braw
Next Thursday is the first game.
Ahh cheers.

That week that you somehow only got three right last year stuck in my head and resulted in your being lumped in with Hun. If you don't do that again you'll probably get yourself out of the bottom group.
Did anyone dig up last year's? I don't remember how I did, I think I was just middle of the road.

My Sportsbot needs a couple of games before actually kicking in. Could we start this in Week 4 instead?
You should have a sportsbot entry and then your own personal entry.
Maybe I'll do that, in tribute to Mikey. But if sportsbot wins that also means I win.
That is a tribute to Mikey.

Cool, you did a good job last year Shaft. I will enter tips in a few days.
If people think zero is too harsh, another idea is lowest score minus two. It has worked as an appropriate punishment in other tipping comps I've been in without completely fucking the season up if unable to get on the 'net for some reason near the deadline.

Yea low score minus 2 is good. I mean sometimes people just forget or lose internet or something.
Ok, that seems fair enough. Low score minus two it is.

No I meant it doesn't bode well for the Eagles that so many people are favoring them.
Yeah, but I picked the gang that the Eagles are playing, therefore your team will win. I'm fucking shite at these Yank Sports Picking things. But at least I'm giving it a go. God loves a trier, but my ex didn't.
I meant to pick Giants, not Redskins. Please change it in your tally shaft, thanks.
