Due to the whacky season and the fact that my revenue has dropped 70% due to COVID, I wasn't planning on doing the free Pick 'Em league this year. I have no money for the payout, and it's hard enough getting you dorks to play even with real money on the line.

However I still like the idea of a PAY Pick 'Em league, a league which will have payouts for the top 10. This league will be SEC-only games all season, including any bowl and playoff games involving SEC teams. The picks will be against-the-spread set by ME, as always. The payouts will depend on how many people play, but I would like to see at least 20 to make it worth it. The entry fee would be $25. While some people hate paying for anything, remember that the top 10 get money, so with a small pool there's a good chance of getting some or all of your money back. I have an algorithm set up with payout examples. So if 20 people enter at $25, the final top 10 payout would be:

1. $225
2. $50
3. $38
4. $32
5. $27
6. $20
7. $18
8. $16
9. $14
10. $11

As you can see the top 5 (out of 20 total participants) would end up getting at least their money back. Hopefully we can get more than 20 people to play and drive those numbers even higher.

If you want to play, send $25 via the "Donate" tab at the top of the page. After the number of players has been confirmed, the payout numbers will be updated.

Deadline to enter and pay will be September 23rd.

Discuss.

I’m opting out due to my concerns over the China flu. I will start my draft preparations immediately.

You’ll be lucky to be drafted. The NFL is not looking for 5’7’’ 225 lb receivers with a 18.7 40 yard dash.
6’ 240. And like any alliGator, I can fly for about 15 yards! :lol:

If you are interested in this concept and would be willing to put up the $25 to play, say so in this thread. DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY, this is just to gauge interest first. After the number of players has been confirmed, the payout numbers will be updated.

Deadline to enter and pay will be September 23rd.
