3. When e-mailing me your picks, please do not e-mail me the whole e-mail I sent out to you. Please send me your picks in a new message.
4. Please do your picks either these ways: OAK @ NE*, OAK @ NE-NE,
5. Please e-mail me (or submit using Yahoo! Pick'em) your picks by the deadline each week, or your picks will not be counted.
6. All picks are e-mailed to me at
miked31784@..., unless you are in the pick'em league. If you belong to the MikeD31784, Beat Mike, or Gateway 2003 groups, then you can e-mail me from there.
7. All Pro Pick'em picks will be included in the standings for the main game. They will have their own division in Beat Mike, however. The deadline for the Pro Pick'em will always be five minutes before the first game of the week. The deadline for the people doing it by e-mail will always be five minutes before the first game of the week (Sunday, if you don't include the first game).
6. Though, most of you know the NFL, some of you that are receiving this does not. I have a tip for you (and those of you who have a hard time choosing games): If you feel that you are not sure of which team to go with, go with the home team. They will probably have the best chance of winning.
7. Due to the popularity (30 people in Pick'em League and only 10 people by e-mail), I have decided to do the standings as one division.
8. New Orleans Saints might not be playing at the Superdome this year, due to Hurricane Katrina. Site will be TBA.
9. You might have noticed that last year I put local TV stations right next to the the network the game will be shown on. I am doing it again this year, but with 10 markets, 7 from New England/Eastern NY (excluding Maine) and I added Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tampa on the list (since I will be moving down there within the next five years.
