It's time for the first ever EFL football pool. This pool is open
to all Empire players and casual readers of the newsgroup. Like Empire,
the pool is free.
Every week, I will post the schedule of NFL games with a point spread
that I pulled completely out of my nethers. All you need to do is
send me a response indicating who you think the winner will be. In
general, the format will look like this:
Chicago (7) over GREEN BAY
That means Chicago is favored by 7 points. Green Bay, in caps, indicates
that it is the home team.
All you need to do is e-mail me before the first kickoff of the week with
the list of teams that you pick to win based on the point spread. Please
include "EFL Pool" in the subject. Also, in the body of the e-mail, include
the name you wish to be known by in the pool (like your country name that
you normally play by.)
Every week I will post the weekly results and the running tally.
And here are this week's picks:
Miami vs Pittsburg has been taken off the table since it is being played
tonight (Thursday) and most people will not have had time to respond.
