Generally, when I'm in the hunt early, I stay in the hunt. Not always, but usually. So here are the results through two weeks of the NFL season. For those who want to follow along, anyone with accounts at these sites can check week to week results.
1) Northbet NFL Contest. You pick NFL games without point spreads. Currently tied for sixth out of what I'm guessing are 500-600 entries. Top five cash at the end of the season.
2) Heritage Race to the Super Bowl. Top 25 cash. You pick all NFL games without spreads AND all of the primetime NFL totals. I'm currently tied for 22nd out of a couple thousand entrants.
3) TopBet NFL Picks Contest. All NFL games without point spreads. Currently tied for 11th out of 1380. I think top 20 cash, but I'll have to verify that. I'm entered under the name "reptilicus," which is my favorite Danish monster movie. Really terrible effects, but I loved it.
And here's a trivia note: one of the offshores has a free Thursday and Monday night contest where you pick the score. If you hit it exactly, you get 10K. The good news is that I hit the KC/Charger 27-24 game exactly. The bad news is that so did 40 other people on the site, so I got a grand total of $240. LOL.
That's it. Follow along if you like. The Wise Guys Contest ended with the pandemic, unfortunately. I was in that for more than 30 years. It was invitation only, and you had to pick two ATS games a week for each week of the NFL season plus a playoff week. I finished up somewhere in the top three of those who had been in the contest for a decade plus. Some day I need to go back and tally it all up.
Good luck this season.
