Just going to take signups to see how many people will be interested in doing it again this year. I planned on doing it just the standard, simple way this year. Just going by your win/loss from week to week. I also seen a pretty interesting style on another forum that looks like a lot of fun. Here's some of the basic rules of it - Basically it's split up into divisions/conferences like the actual NFL but it's members in each. (Different opponent (member) each week). There's individual matchups each week, member against member. Whoever has the best record between the two, gets the win. Loser gets the loss of course. Come playoff time, you are seeded of course by your regular season results, with the top two getting a bye in each conference. Looks to be elimination from member to member come playoffs. It's quite a bit different but it looked like they had a lot of fun. Hopefully I didn't miss anything, it's all new to me. 
 
So how should we do it and who would be interested? Keep it basic & simple or try something new that might be more fun? nolafan33 has won the last two years!

I like the idea, but it'll be difficult to get the playoff thing to work.  Odds are, both people would be picking the same teams to win at some point, and you'll end up with a tie.

Actually, I forgot to add a big part on how the playoffs work lol. 
 
Those in the playoffs will have to pick three different things
 
1) Winner 
2) Winner against the Spread 
3) Total Points Scored 
 
If one member has a better week picking winners than the other, then they win the matchup. If both tie, then the winner is the one with the better record against the spread. If the two are tied there as well, it comes down to who got closer on the points scored for the designated game.
 
Picks to be made by personal message so there's no advantage.

Ah, that should work out well.
 
Will the spread be part of the regular season as well?

In for the standard, no bonus games though. Users can get bonus points for a perfect week, but that should be it

Nope. Just game picks and MNF Total Points scored for tiebreaker. I just seen this at another forum and thought it was interesting and wondered what others thought.
