Howdy! Wanted to see if any of y'all were interested in a different spin on NFL fantasy/survivor/pick 'em.

This will be the third year I've run a contest called NFL Desperation, and I anticipate the top prize being more than $3,000 this season.

Here's how it works:

Each week, you pick straight up winners; spread is not relevant

You can pick anywhere from 0 teams to 16 teams depending on how brave you feel. You can literally pick just 1 game during a week if you want to

You will earn points for every game you pick correctly, but only if you are correct on every pick you make. If you miss any pick, you get zero points for that week. Imagine it like a weekly parlay, and choose wisely

Scoring is cumulative. Total possible points per week is 136, but if you somehow get that you are most certainly in the wrong line of business.


It's a lot of fun (and frustrating as hell), and I thought it would be cool to get some NFL Fan Texaggers involved. If you're interested in learning more or joining, email me at NFLdesperation@gmail.com and I'll send some more info.

Entry fee?

It's $58- covers the entry fee and platform cost

How many entries do you anticipate?
Payouts?
And I'm assuming since you mention platform there i some type of running leaderboard to see where you stack up as the weeks prgress.

My goal is 100 entries this year and first place prize is 75% of the pot (2nd and 3rd place get paid as well). We had 60 entries last season and I'm pushing hard to grow it.

Yes, you will be able to make your picks through the website each week, you will have visibility of the leaderboard on the site, and you'll also receive weekly recap emails.

Bumping one time before I send out an official game invite at the end of the week!

Thanks to those of you who have reached out already for more info. Looking to be a solid group of entries for this season
