    6 NFL Teams to Not Make the Playoffs: 100 point contest
    Another forum has a thread on this, and it seems like it would make for a good gambling contest.

    Pick 6 NFL teams to miss the playoffs and send 100 points to this post. If all 6 of your teams miss out, you split the prize pool with anyone else who picks correctly. If one of your teams makes the playoffs, you're out unless nobody picks 6 teams correctly, in which case everybody gets a refund. Beware, picking all 6 is much tougher than it seems. I'll pay out as soon as the regular season ends. No editing picks posts. GL!

      If SBR or any mods want to adopt it they are more than welcome... especially if they give the contest some sort of overlay.

              That would be a really bad strategy because if you win you're chopping up the prize pool with a bunch of other people... that's why I picked Denver over some teams with longer odds.

                        I'm glad to see the picks coming in, but remember to send 100 points to the OP to qualify. I'll pay out at the end of the regular season.

                          2 paid entries so far with 2 more pledged once they get the points.

                          This should be a fun contest. Join in.

                            Think you can pick 6 teams better than us? Post your picks in this thread and send 100 points to the first post.

                                    600 points are in the prize pool. The cutoff for entries will be kickoff of tonight's game. If people want to enter, but don't have the points they can make their picks itt before kickoff and I'll give them until Sunday at 1 to get their points in.

                                    If you think you're sharp (or square for that matter) send 100 points and jump on in.

                                              This was a cool idea.

                                              Good Luck everyone.

                                              I would consider hopping in if it opens up again or another one starts.

                                                This is going to be interesting. Jags and texans will be picking 1 and 2 in the draft next year.

                                                    Looks like there will be more than one winner
                                                    The bad teams have been awful this year. Burrow could bury a lot of us with the Bengals, though... still a lot of season left.

                                                      Bengals might actually make the playoffs.

                                                        Bengals and Broncos would be in the playoffs if it started today in week 6

                                                            Bengals, Eagles, nor Vikings would be in the playoffs today. So Machba is still the ONLY entrant who would be the leader in the clubhouse if the season ended today. Bengals would get a lot of us if they make the playoffs.

                                                                All but 2 of us are in good shape now, but it the Bengals, Eagles, Broncos, Dolphins or Panthers going on a run could change everything.

                                                                I'm surprised at how many of us are doing well... normally there are more surprise teams.

He picked teams that won’t even finish with winning records let alone winning a division or making the playoffs. Great picks. It is much harder than it looks. Cincinnati burned most of us and they went from worst to first. So it wasn’t a bad pick. If any of the other AFC North teams play just at expectations the Bengals don’t make the playoffs.
