Alright, listen up, y’all! You wanna know how to set up one of them NFL Pick’em things? It ain’t rocket science, I tell ya. Even this old gal can figure it out, so you surely can too.
First things first, you gotta decide what kinda Pick’em you want. There’s the regular kind, where you just pick who’s gonna win each game. That’s the easy peasy one. Then there’s some fancier ones with points and all that jazz, but we ain’t gonna worry about that right now. We’re keepin’ it simple, see?
Gettin’ Started
Okay, so you wanna do a regular Pick’em. First, you gotta get yourself some folks to play. Round up your buddies, your family, whoever wants in. The more the merrier, I always say. More folks mean a bigger pot, and who don’t like a bigger pot?
- Step 1: Find Your People: Like I said, get your group together. Tell ’em you’re doin’ a Pick’em and see who’s interested.
- Step 2: Get Some Sheets: Now, you need somethin’ to write down the picks on. You can find these online, just search for “NFL Pick’em sheet” and you’ll find plenty. Or, if you’re feelin’ fancy, you can make your own. Just write down all the games for the week and leave a space for folks to write who they think is gonna win. Some folks even got them fancy computer things, where you can do it all on there. But I like good ol’ paper and pencil myself.
- Step 3: Hand Out the Sheets: Give everyone a sheet and tell ’em to pick the winners. Make sure they know when the games start, so they don’t miss the deadline. Nothin’ worse than missin’ the deadline, let me tell ya.
Rules of the Game
The rules are pretty straightforward. You pick the winner of each game, that’s it. Now, some folks like to add a tiebreaker, like guessin’ the total score of the Monday night game or somethin’ like that. That’s up to you. It can make things a little more excitin’, I reckon.
Collecting the Picks and Figuring out the Winner
Make sure everyone gets their picks in before the first game starts. No changin’ your mind after the games have started, that ain’t fair! Then, after all the games are done, you gotta count up who got the most right. The person with the most correct picks wins the pot. Simple as that.
Online Pick’em
Now, if you don’t wanna mess with all that paper and stuff, you can do it online too. There’s a bunch of websites where you can set up a Pick’em pool. You just gotta sign up, make your pool, and invite your friends. The website does all the work for you, countin’ up the winners and all that. It’s pretty slick, I gotta say. But you know me, I like doin’ things the old-fashioned way.
Tips for Pickin’ Winners
Now, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve been watchin’ football for a long time. Here’s a few things I’ve learned:
- Don’t always pick the favorites: Sometimes the underdogs pull off an upset, you know? Don’t be afraid to take a chance now and then.
- Pay attention to injuries: If a team’s star player is hurt, they might not play so good. Gotta keep an eye on them injury reports, that’s for sure.
- Look at the home field advantage: Teams usually play better at home, that’s just a fact.
- Do a little research: Read up on the teams, see how they’ve been doin’. A little knowledge goes a long way, even in football pickin’.
That’s About It!
So there you have it. That’s how you set up an NFL Pick’em. It’s a fun way to make the games a little more interesting and maybe win a little money too. Just remember to keep it fun, folks. It ain’t the end of the world if you don’t win. There’s always next week, right?
Final words: Now go on and get your Pick’em started! And good luck to ya, unless you’re playin’ against me, then I hope you lose! Just kiddin’…mostly. Have fun and enjoy the football season!
