PICK 'EM NEWS:
Hello Pickers!
Happy first day of the NFL preseason, and welcome to another exciting season of NFL Pick ‘Em football!
Please let me know now if you would like to opt out for the 2026/2027 season.
If you’re interested in continuing, the entry fee remains 50 dollars.
Full payment is due before Week 1 of the regular season begins (Wednesday, September 9th 2026 at 8pm ET).
I, Joe, accept payment via Apple Pay, Zelle, Paypal, Venmo, or even cash if you’re local.
You may begin submitting your entry fee to me now.
Please see the terms and conditions below regarding late payments:
Late payments will only be accepted with a 10 dollar penalty added per week the payment is late. The start of a "week" is always determined by the start time of the first game of that week. If you submit after the first game of the week begins, you are late and owe the penalty. Penalty funds go to the pot.
Payouts will be determined by the size of the pot and the number of players playing. Generally speaking, the top 3 will get the majority of the pot, but additional players beyond 3rd place will receive a portion of their money back. Historically, your best bet is to finish in the top 10.
PICK EM IS NOW OPEN AND YOU CAN BEGIN MAKING YOUR PICKS FOR WEEK 1 OF THE REGULAR SEASON

FANTASY NEWS:
With about 2 months till the first preseason game, and 3 months till the season, I have scheduled our Fantasy Football draft.
We’re doing it “Slow draft” style to accommodate different timezones. Which means this will not happen in a single day.
Everyone will have 10 hours to pick when it is their turn.
Turn on alerts for the ESPN Fantasy app so that you know it is your turn. I will not send text messages like I bothered everyone with last year.
The Draft begins Tuesday, June 9th, at 8am ET. It will go for as many days, weeks, or months as it must.
If you don’t pick someone when it’s your turn, the system will select someone for you.
Select your 2 keepers from last season before June 9th. You have been warned.
Fantasy Football is still free to play.
