Hey, TSA Forum, just a quick canvass: Any interest in a competition in picking NFL winners week-by-week next season? I've always enjoyed it. We could go straight-up winners or against the point spread. I'd be willing to organize the thing. Strictly for fun and bragging rights, though....not really into putting real money on the line.

+1

Sure, zero cost, little effort to maintain; sounds good to me.

Lol. I just like saying it. In only in one "money league" for FF. Its only 25 let person, winner takes all. Then I play those spot cards, maybe throw $5 on 1 or 2. Not a big gambler. And, I wouldn't expect us to put money on a TSA pick em league.....but I'm in.

That's great, MSJ!  What do you think, spread or straight-up?

I'm definitely in, the ongoing conversation in this thread really made me wish we were doing it all year.

Crowdsourced TSA betting advice lol.

If you guys start making money and beating vegas spreads, getting rich etc., I hope you remember us poor folks here running the forum. We could use a donation for better server space, bandwidth, and an IT guy to make it not so buggy. After you secure your own affairs, obviously, but just in case you're so wealthy you don't know what to do with it all ... ;).

I think I'd rather just straight-up, but mostly due to laziness.

Lol! Hey, Wilshire, that wasn't betting advice, that was advice on charitable distribution! OK....putting down "TSA Forum" as a beneficiary of possible LEGAL gambling winnings.

Wording mis-arranged. Change to possible beneficiary ... in other words, if we FEEL like being generous.

Spread or straight up doesn't matter to me for the fun of the game, but would be fun to see how good I am against the spread.
It's me, Dave, open up, I've got the stuff

I'm sticking with my Saints over Vikings pick, but I'm starting to think it was a bad call. Vikings defense has the best 3rd down defense since 1973 at 25%.

Yeah, I think it's going to be a close game in any case.  Probably less than 7 points either way...

I love that it's the last game of the weekend, hopefully it's an epic matchup.
