  This week’s Pac-12 Football Pick Em contest closes FRIDAY night when the Oregon/Cal game starts. Remember to get your picks in before then! https://www.utehub.com/pick-em/

  Hey Tony. Are you considering an NFL pick ’em? It might be kinda fun eve though there are some people who don’t care much for the league anymore.

  Pickem for any sport is possible. Definitely planned on something for basketball. The system isn’t built to run multiple pickems at a time at the moment though, so running say pac 12 football AND NFL at the same time is not currently doable. Also, someone would have to volunteer to run an NFL game. I have no interest in the NFL.

    On the subject of the NFL I wonder if it’s dying a slow death. Don’t get me wrong, I still like it but not like I used to. I used to watch every game televised no matter who was playing. Now it pretty much has to be one of my favorite teams or I just don’t bother. The TV ratings are tanking this year.

      My issue with the NFL are all the freaking ads. Game starts at 2. Three 4 min previews with 3 mins of ads between each. Game finally kicks off at 2:15. Two second kickoff. Three minutes of commercials. The team goes 3 and out, take 1:30 off the clock. Time out. Three minutes of ads. Punt. Three minutes of ads. Next team breaks a big play, TD. Three minutes of ads. Extra point. Three minutes of ads. Kickoff. Three minutes of ads. Here we are with 11:00 left in the first quarter, it’s 2:45 pm and I’ve seen 4 mins of football and 20 mins of ads. <br>.<br>Couldn’t do it anymore. <br><br>

  It’s at rpac12.com. ESPN does one for th NFL as well but I didn’t like it as much. Basically you pick one team to win each week. You can only pick a team once per season. If the team you pick loses you’re eliminated. Usually there is one team that blows it early, like WSU against an FCS school, that eliminates 90% of the field early and they start a second round. The PAC 12 works well because there are 12 teams and 13 weeks of play. The tie breaker at the end has always been the the score of the championship game
