2013 NFL Season Wins CONTEST...NEW

I'm in. Win lose or draw I will not stop harassing RM. If I lose RM can pick my sig line and even my avi for a month, but giving up something that brings me so much joy is not an option.

Cardinals under 5.5
Bears over 8.5
Packers over 10
Chargers under 7.5
Saints over 9

I also offer Number51 and Roulette Man an opportunity to solve this spat once and for all.

AlanleroyII's Pick your 5 or Pick Your Nose Challenge Rules

Everyone will post their best 5 picks based on the current line in the first post in this thread.

All picks must be posted before 9/4/13 11:59 PM. They can be changed any time until then. On 09/05/13 all picks are frozen and can no longer be changed.

At the end of the regular season, the player who has the most picks right wins a prize to be determined later.

Ties will be broken based on a special Playoff Wins Playoff.

Side Battle Between RM & #51

Should #51 get more right than RM, RM will never make another negative post about #51 again....nor will he ever mention Lou Piniella's Mother again. And he can select a new RM Signature line that RM must use for 30 days.

Should RM get more right than #51, #51will never make another negative post about RM again....nor will he ever mention Lou Piniella's Mother again. And he can select a new #51 Signature line that #51must use for 30 days.


Should RM or #51 not post their picks before 9/4/13 11:59 PM, they will be given a suitable LVA nickname to be determined later.
So like, how does a prospective contestant know there will be no skullduggery or flimflammery involved in the administration of this competition?
Like:
__What's the prize?, . . . and exactly when will it be determined later? And how? [DonDiego is not looking to expend any brainpower in pursuit of a useless trinket or gewgaw.]
__Who determines what constitutes a "negative post"? Like is "alanleroyII isn't so ugly as snidelyy333 thinks, for an ignoramus" a negative post?
__How are the presumedly disparaging or at least unflattering nickname{s} to be determined?
__Are unmannerly posts about alanleroyII's Mother still allowed?

For the record, DonDiego encourages maximum participation in the contest and even contestant-participation in determining answers to the above queries.

Oh, . . . and a serious question.
Re: the "current line"__ Do odds necessary to be placed against the number-of-wins play any part in the determination of the winner? [If so, DonDiego requests publication of the complete "line" including the odds on both the over and the under.]

DonDiego thanks the Contest Administrator in advance.

The prize will be determined prior to the date of final submission. It is at the sole discretion of the Commissioner, AlanLeroy2. It will be no useless trinket or gewgaw. It will rise at least to the level of a gimcrack.


__Who determines what constitutes a "negative post"? Like is "alanleroyII isn't so ugly as snidelyy333 thinks, for an ignoramus" a negative post?

Negative posts are determined at the sole discretion of the Commissioner, AlanLeroy2. This can be appealed to the 'Board of Appeals' that consists of three impartial board members to be determined at the sole discretion of the Commissioner, AlanLeroy2. As DonDiego might have noticed, there is already some consternation regarding this side contest as #51 states "Win lose or draw I will not stop harassing RM." We will have to work on this...perhaps limiting the time period for non-negative posts to 30 days or some other substitute punishment to be determined later.

__How are the presumedly disparaging or at least unflattering nickname{s} to be determined?

Unflattering nicknames are determined at the sole discretion of the Commissioner, AlanLeroy2. This can be appealed to the 'Board of Appeals' that consists of three impartial board members to be determined at the sole discretion of the Commissioner, AlanLeroy2.

Members will continue to post unmannerly posts about alanleroyII's mother at their own peril..

For the record, DonDiego encourages maximum participation in the contest and even contestant-participation in determining answers to the above queries.

Oh, . . . and a serious question.
Re: the "current line"__ Do odds necessary to be placed against the number-of-wins play any part in the determination of the winner? [If so, DonDiego requests publication of the complete "line" including the odds on both the over and the under.]

The 'odds' or 'Vigorish' or 'Juice' will not be considered in determining a contest winner...only the accuracy in predicting the over or under vs the given number..

DonDiego thanks the Contest Administrator in advance.

OK. That sounds fair.

DonDiego's Selections:

Baltimore Ravens OVER 8½ . . . . . . . . . . . . "Nevermore."
Tampa Bay Buccaneers UNDER 7½ . . . . . . . "Arrrrrgh!"
New York Jets UNDER 6½ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "If you can't make it there . . . ."
Oakland Raiders UNDER 5½ . . . . . . . . . . . . "Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!"
Jacksonville Jaguars UNDER 5 . . . . . . . . . . . "Where Florida Ends."
I like the Bengals OVER same with the Vikings. I like the Jets UNDER as well as the Raiders and Ravens.
Hey guys! Don't give up on my Bengals so easily. They always manage to find a way to lose. Usually its by running the same plays year after year so everyone in America knows what's coming next or else by just plain stupidity. If not they can always rely on the yearly poor management and lackluster head coaching.

Always take the under and be a winner like myself.
So, . . . like, . . . who won the prize?
