Announcing The Third Annual “Surprise’s Super Bowl Of Surprises” NFL Pick ‘Em Challenge!

It’s no surprise that we here at Dubsism love a sports challenge, we do them all the time.  One of the usual suspects is our National Football League Pick ‘Em challenge, and with the NFL season is right around the corner, the cat with the softest life ever is once again lending her name to our event.

The idea behind “Surprise’s Super Bowl Of Surprises” is rather simple; it’s a straight-up NFL week-by-week “Pick ‘Em” contest.  You pick the winner in each NFL game throughout the regular season, and at the end, whomever has picked the most winners gets the prize.

That being said, let’s talk about what the prize is. The tradition dictates that “Super Bowl Of Surprises” is exactly that; a cornucopia of football-related trinkets guaranteed to improve any Super Bowl party…well, at least that’s what Surprise told us.

No matter what, you can expect prizes similar to what we’ve given away in the past. In addition to a few bucks worth of mystery stuff, the winner will receive a certificate suitable for framing to signify that for one brief moment in time, they were better than all the other Dubsists out there.

Here’s How You Win

You can’t win if you don’t play, so to join, follow these easy steps.

1) Click on this link

• https://www.pooltracker.com/join.asp?poolid=194784 (or copy and paste into your browser if the link isn’t active)

2) Enter your information

This challenge is free and open to all, so you shouldn’t need to know the Pool ID if you follow that link, but in case you are asked for them…

• The Pool ID is: 194784
• The Pool Password is:  You shouldn’t need one, but if you get asked for one – use Surprise2021 (you will need to create a password for your account on the site)

3) Make your picks

• The deadline for entry into the pool is 8 p.m. Eastern U.S. time Thursday, September 9th, 2021
• CHANGE FROM LAST SEASON: Picks for all games are due before the kick-off of each game. That means if you forget that pesky Thursday night game, it doesn’t hose your whole week.
• Be sure to set your tie-breaker each week, which is the total cumulative score of the last game listed. This is important because*…

4) Scoring

Players receive 1 point for each correct pick, and whoever has the most points at the end of the season will be the winner.

* – Tie-breakers are calculated as follows: If multiple players are tied for the highest points for any given week, the player with the closest tie breaker prediction, regardless if they are over or under, to the actual tie breaker value is the winner. If multiple players are still tied, then the player who entered their tie breaker value first wins. Note that the date/timestamp is updated every time a player’s picks and/or tie-breaker are edited.

Are you ready for some football?
