I assume this tracks who is doing well and a champ is crowned at the end of the year?

Do you make a pick for every single game each week?

What do I win?

if someone could tell me the benefits of this "pick 'em," i'd gladly perform a cost-benefit analysis and determine if i will participate.

You assign the highest number to the pick you have the most confidence in and so on. Whatever number you assign gets added to your total for a correct pick. I like it.

hmmm

I'm not so keen on that... I fucking hate gambling. I'll probably lose this by way too conservative, but I'll play anyway.
