Week 1 Pick 'Ems

The MBB Pick 'Ems contest is back for 2017.

Pick your winners for the games each week.  1 correct pick = 1 point.  $50 Bomber Store gift certificate will be given to the person with the most correct picks after the Grey Cup.

Picks must be made before the start of the first game each week.    The poll will be closed at that time.  If you miss the deadline, I will accept picks through PM for games that have not yet started.

Picks for Week 1 need to be in by Thursday, June 22 @ 6:30PM.

Good Luck!

so that's it? I make my picks and you know what they are?

Yep.  I can see how people vote.  

Just like last year, starting in Week 2, I will publish a spreadsheet that will get updated each week after the deadline.  So you can see week to week how people voted, where you are in the standings, and even confirm I entered your picks correctly (click on the games link at the bottom of the spreadsheet) .

Here is what it looked like last year.

 

Glad to be in at the start of the year and hope I remember to get my picks in every week...

So close, only 26 off of first place.

I'm coming for you this year Cam.

Defending Grey Cup champion, at home to start the season, and only one person (out of 34, so far) is picking them to win. Very interesting.

Win or lose, so pumped for the start of the season 

Forgot to have a tie as an option again :)

Wasn't there a special rule for a tie last year... like if you pick a tie correctly you get a strike taken away or something...

Only one person ever picked a tie last season (incorrectly) and they are so rare, wasn't going to bother this year with ties. If there is a tie, no one gets a point.

No. No strikes in the Pick 'Ems, so that wouldn't work. 

^^^ This is all fine....it's all good...just for fun.

It's all good just thought it was funny is all. I wouldn't add the option either.
