    --- fine print ---

    The Sunday NFL games with opening lines as logged by SBR odds will be posted in a Players Talk picks thread every Tuesday of regular season.

    Lines will not be updated during the week but you will be allowed to edit your picks up until 12.59pm ET each Sunday (or up until 1 minute before the scheduled start time of your first pick if games start earlier than 1pm).

    Post your three picks against the posted spreads in that thread.

    You can earn up to 6 points for 3 correct picks.


    At 4pm ET each Sunday join in the SBR Pigskin and Poker tournament hosted on Pokerstars Home Games.

    You are not required to both make picks and play poker but obviously will have less chance to earn points if you do not.


    Ties will split prizes.

    Edits later than 12.59pm ET each week will void the entire entry that week.

            I’d tried joining but it’s says there’s something wrong. It states club id or invite is invalid.
            had the same problem last year, when I couldn’t join.
            I'm in Michigan, I clicked the Dropbox link, can this be used on a iPhone?

              I don't think it will let you join with the App from Michigan. Only solution we found was that Windows software version on Dropbox for MI, NJ and PA.

                          I just realized that you are already registered for the club

                          45. BT RayRay - BTRayray

                          You don't need to join again. That's probably why you get an error.

                          Just go to home games and you should see the SBR club listed there already. Just click that and join this Sunday's tourney for week 1.

                            Avoiding being taken out by Empiremaker or Friedcheese is probably everyone's biggest problem

                            When you apply to join the club post your Pokerstars username here and I will approve you.

                                Do you have to both play poker and make NFL picks to be eligible for this? Or you could just win the poker tournament, forget about picks, and still get 2nd or 3rd? (or even tie for 1st)

                                  You don't have to play both parts.

                                  I guess it would be possible but I am guessing several people will go 3-0 on picks so I doubt poker alone will get you there. But if you play weekly poker might get qualified with best 6 on points.

                                  .
