**CLOSED** Losers League Contest - Session One

[NDN]

This year, we are taking a more relaxed approach with the Losers League contest (in large part due to a lack of interest compared with previous years).

The rules remain unchanged, but the selection process becomes a bit more simple!

Just to refresh everyone's memory, this is how the contest works:


Selections are due by Wednesday at 11:59pm ET - NO EXCEPTIONS!

The contest starts with the games of Sunday, Sept 11th (the first Thursday game of the season is ignored).

To be eligible to participate in the first session of this year's losers league, your entry must be received by Friday, September 9th at 4:00pm ET!

The concept is simple; select an NFL team to lose each week (point spreads are not a factor).

You can select a team only once during each session until the playoffs. During the playoffs, the 'any team any time' rule applies, meaning you can pick any team you'd like regardless of whether or not you used them during the regular season.

If your selection wins ... YOU LOSE !!!!!

If your selection ties ... YOU LOSE !!!!!

If you repeat your selection ... YOU LOSE !!!!

If your selection is not in by 11:59pm ET on Wednesday ... YOU LOSE !!!!

If you lose once, you fall into the consolation bracket.

If you lose twice, you are a true loser!

After it is all said and done there is one winner of the Championship Bracket ($50) and one winner of the Consolation Bracket ($25).


With all of that said, if you would like to participate in this year's Losers League contest, please click here to send me a private message with your selections!

Throughout the season, please continue to send me a private message each week with your selections and remember to get them to be before the deadline! Because we are taking a relaxed approach with this contest, there won't be too many reminders, so it's up to you to get your selections in on time each week! If you could kindly use a subject line in the format of "Week One Selection" each week I would greatly appreciate it!

This will be the official Losers League thread, so please check here for a list of everyone's selections each week (posted after the deadline) and to do some bragging!

Good luck and have fun!

Hmm. Im not a big fan of any of those picks right now....

Arizone played ok vs Steelers, and are at a not that good offensively playing Baltimore.

Cleveland vs 49ers... 49ers are not that good. Cleveland do suck though.

And Jacksonville coming off a big win. vs Houston who are very hit and miss..



miami is the most likely to lose IMO

[Ringo]

I took Jacksonville because they played Monday Night and then go on the road.
Toughest thing to do in the NFL.

Plus Houston looks to be firing on all cylinders.

Jacksonville can't hold the Texans to under 20 points and the Jags can't score 20 points

[eejit101]

As a proud owner of Arian Foster, i hope he goes off again.

Standings have been updated (no changes).

[Marakesh]

Looks like we all lost
?????

[NDN]

Looks like we all lost
?????

Sorry about that! Picked the wrong color! Standings have now been updated with the correct color!

[PANAMHIEST]

wow everyone was right again lol. The arizona game was a bit of a nail biter there till the end though. I dont know what happened in the NFL yesterday but about half the games looked liked it was junior varsity HS against super bowls teams.

[eejit101]

Yeah, with the Rams being the 2001 Patriots.

[NDN]

Selections have been updated. Once again, we have three different selections in the Championship Bracket, so there could be some changes come Monday!

NDN has giant balls picking SD at home but I have to agree with the pick GL

[NDN]

For some reason I have always been anti-SD. But I have also been anti-GB all my life, so I don't know what the hell I am thinking trying to root for either of these two teams!

[eejit101]

I hate the SD pick. Its scary.

[PANAMHIEST]

I hate the SD pick. Its scary.

ya i left myself sorta baited on the hook too i think. All depends on which dallas team shows up sunday.

[eejit101]

Browns suck. Youll be ok

[Ringo]

Browns suck. Youll be ok

Dallas plays Seattle

[eejit101]

Oh. even better. Seahawks suck too

Standings have been updated (everyone survived)!

Pick is in, your gonna be surprised, its a tough one i think considering they are undefeated at home but facing a team that absolutely has to win and really shouldnt even be losing.
