I will go with the Bills.

 

Let me double-check.........You put down the winning team?

 

Can you only use a team once ?

 

 

Yup. Only once. What eliminates most people is they get cute early on with risky picks so that they can save better teams til later in the season. That's why I never make it past week 3. 🤷‍♂️

Correct. There’s some strategy to it.

You’ll need to make your selection there.

Some people need to make some picks before the season begins tomorrow:

@snafu and whoever these people are:

Ted's terrific pick set
My unrivaled pick set
Beane's Jelly Beans
 

 

Wait,

I need to do this before Thursday's game?

 

 

Edit:

Thanks for the shout out @Ann

I chose the Rams.  I'm really not confident in any matchup this week. Bears Offensive line is so bad.  That's the only reason I went this way.

In most league's it's until the final game, though having to pick that game is risky. Not sure if the settings are different on Yahoo.

 

Probably a good idea to wait til noon on Sunday with Covid testing.

Risky business @B-Man.

We don't have to pick before the first game that week (Thursday night games)?

I'll defer to @TakeYouToTasker 2.0 for the official ruling but I've never seen that before.

That depends on what time @TakeYouToTasker 2.0 chose according to today's email:

 If you would like to edit your picks, you can do so until your group's selection deadline passes.

Right,  I recall that if you don't pick before Thursday then that game obviously isn't available to pick.  Same with the 1:00 games Sunday if you wait too long.  I'd hate to be wring about that -- especially in week 1.  So I out mu pick in just to be safe.

I'll know tomorrow if i'm dead. Like it that way

From the, 'Group Settings' tab: 

Deadline Sunday at 1:00 PM EST

 

We're on EDT though so, maybe noon just to be safe.

[KD in CA]

I'm going with the Niners, so sound advice would be to bet your mortgage on the Lions.

[TakeYouToTasker 2.0]

I don’t know what I picked. I used whatever the default setting was. I’ll check and report back.

[TakeYouToTasker 2.0]

Deadline is 1:00 PM ET every Sunday.

 

Any games which begin before this time can only be chosen before the start of that game. Failure to submit before 1 PM ET on Sunday is a forfeit.

 

Forfeits count as a team loss, and elimination.

Suicide pools always reminds me of watching my son in his first spelling bee. I'd watch a couple of kids before him get tripped up on their first word and sit there thinking "Please let him just get past the first word. I don't care if he misspells 'and' on the second word, but just win the first round please."

 

More stressful than watching the Bills vs Chefs in the AFC Championship game.

No kidding.

 

Like, I felt that game was the lock of the week, and it just BARELY squeaked by
