SportsChump’s Fifth Annual NFL Over/Under Contest

football trophyIt’s that time of the year again.

FOOOOOOTBAAAALLLLLLL!!!!

Whew, that felt good.

Think we’re thirsty for some football?  The very first televised game of the NFL pre-season, the otherwise meaningless Minnesota Vikings-Pittsburgh Steelers Hall of Fame Game, garnered higher television ratings than the Stanley Cup Finals. Back to work, Mr. Bettman.

Since kick off of the NFL season is less than a month away, what better time to host our fifth annual over/under contest.

The rules, as you all know by now, are simple.  The contest will run as in year’s past.  Choose ten teams’ over/unders as listed below and rank them from ten points to one by how confident you feel that team will win either over or under that many games.  Please include your tiebreaker: total actual combined victories for the three Florida teams.  All entries must be listed in the comments section below by kick off of Thursday night’s opening game on September 10.

This year’s winner, like Hanahan, Ravenous, Speedbeagle and Buck Fenson before them, will win a SportsChump t-shirt, whatever other fabulous prize I can dig up before season’s end and official entry into the SportsChump Pick ‘Em Hall of Fame, which in all honesty, is the best prize of them all.

Best of luck, ladies and gentlemen… and happy picking!

    All of a sudden baseball has an openly gay player , who just happens to be playing in the Minor Leagues ? David Denson take a bow because you will go the same way as Michael Sam and Jason Collins . Used by the press as menial cannon fodder for a news’ cycle lasting no more than a week at best Holy crap Batman .

    So there’s no chance of female umpire officiating a game at the Major League level then ? WTF ! MLB seeking to make advances , like @hit falling off a shovel into a bucket full of elephant dung .

  3. There are known to be rats on a sinking ship, but the fallout within the Red Sox front office is bordering on betrayal , cannibalism and a whole lot more. What a disaster .

  5. Hadn’t heard that about Denson, Al. Looking forward to the days we no longer have to report these things.

    Your picks are in, sir. I see you still have faith in your Pats finishing strong even with your boy’s day in court.

    And will the Jaguars ever be relevant again?

  6. Yeah, my head (and another comment elsewhere) says Dallas is the better play than Philly but in this instance I put my heart and hopes out in front…and threw the Eagles in for my 1-pointer…

  8. OK I’m determined to finally win this thing… going to jot down the numbers, do some research and be back with my selections.

  9. Buck is in, giving us six so far. Expecting a few more right before the season starts.

    One thing is certainly consistent throughout.

    There’s not too much hope in the Florida teams. Yet again.

  21. Ravenous is also in…

    which is bad news for everyone else.

    One year, Ravenous finished with nine of ten correct.

    And then he dropped the mic and walked off the stage.

  22. Jen, Dub and Dee Dee all in under the wire. Look at Dubsy, always surrounded by the women.

    That gives us 16 total entries.

    All picks will be posted shortly.

    Please check back to verify I posted over/under picks correctly.

    Best of luck, everyone.
