    Bump since lot of these are much clearer now though still probably all undecided. Of course if you picked say the Bengals for the last one, you probably are out of luck in doing well in that particular selection!

    In any event, what is the maximum number that anyone will get correct in the sense of picking the highest team in their group? That's a tough thing to do given on average (assuming the outcomes were reasonably equally likely before season - which is not probably true but just to get an estimation) a person would only pick the top team about 20% of the time.

    So someone getting 3 / 6 correct would be way above average, who knows that might even be enough to win a prize if you didn't pick terribly in the other selections. Guess we'll see!

    Of course if you pick say 4 / 6 correct with the Bengals or Redskins that might end up not winning you a prize given how far they are behind everyone else. So more to it naturally than just picking the top teams in each group, but that's a reasonable way to get an estimation again.

        I came up with 47 as a perfect score also. Raiders probably the biggest outlier.

                      said before, the DQ was controversial

                      rules clearly said:

                      Contest starts on Thursday September 5th.


                      Contest selections MUST be made before Sunday September 8th at the kick of the EARLY games.



                      I couldn't imagine why anyone would lock in picks BEFORE the Thursday night game was played Week 1

                      This is a Season-Long contest. Not week-to-week. I read the rules and waited to see who would win the Thursday night game. Why would anyone not want as much information as possible?

                          Just try to do the same.... it's a hard work.

                          Now I understand one thing.

                          In this kind of contest...the first rule must be...."Copy...Paste"

                            That was my thought exactly before the contest started. And why not know who won the first Thursday night game Green Bay at Chicago since it was allowed within the rules. If Mr. Drew mis-stated the rules then he needs to tighten this up in the future.

                            Thanks for the offer but I don't need the $50. You acknowledgement of the situation is satisfying enough.

                                  Guys were making picks in JULY before any preseason game was played!

                                  No knowledge of injuries, Andrew Luck retirement, etc.

                                      Non-Pro gets at least a free SBR Pro status for winning this, right?
