Purple Pain's Pick 6 - Week 1

2023 Season - Week 1 Pick 6

Okay, first, the rules (and prizes)...

Game 1: Lock of the Week. - 1pt
Game 2 : Divisional Matchup - 2pts
Game 3 : Upset Special - 3pts
Game 4 : Wildcard - 1pt
Game 5: Highest-Combined Score - 3pts
Game 6: Gamble Pick - +/- 2 pts
Max weekly score - 12pts

All picks (as in, all six slots) are preferred before kickoff of the Sunday early games. However, we understand life happens. If you forget to make your picks on time, you are then only able to choose from the remaining games that have not yet started. If you want to pick the Thursday night game, you can, but you must also submit the other games at the same time.

Weekly and overall winners can be found in the Pick 6 Forum.

Additional Rules:

*No guest entries or social media entries will be considered for the contest. You can pick for fun, but those scores will not be added to the spreadsheet/scoring. You must register for the forum and submit your picks in the appropriate thread each week.

*If you pick a matchup that does not exist for the week - you will forfeit points for that pick slot.

*If you pick a non-divisional game as your divisional matchup - you will forfeit points for that pick slot. All divisional games are BOLD and in RED, so no excuses.

*All upset pick options will be underlined each week with approximately a handful to choose from. If you pick a team that is not underlined as an upset pick - you will forfeit points for that pick slot.

***ADDITIONAL UPSET OPTION***

If you don't think any of the upset picks will win, you can put NO UPSETS in that slot. You will be awarded the three points if none of the upset picks manage to pull out a W.

Example here:


*All submissions must be in the format of the example post (see above) and not game 1, game 2, etc. - if you do that then I assign them in the order of the sample format and if you pick wrong games in the particular qualifier, you lose the points.

*Remember that for your Highest-Combined Score pick, it can be a matchup that you picked for one of your other five picks, because, in this case, you aren't picking a winner/loser, so, therefore, aren't double-dipping. No other games can be duplicated/picked for more than one slot; no double-dipping your winners/losers!

*Pick for all six slots; if you do not pick a matchup in the gamble slot, you will automatically lose 2 points!

*In the event of a tie - it will be a push, so you get half the possible points for the pick you selected.
