Another popular football-related game is the Football Pick’em, also run by Yahoo!. This one is simpler than Fantasy Football, because here all you do is pick the teams you think will win each week. I’ve been running a pick’em game for ten years now! Wow!
Anyway, all you do in this game is pick teams and rank them. We use “Confidence Points” to help separate the leaders out and to build a little more excitement into the game. If there are 16 games being played on a weekend, you rank the games from 1 to 16, with 16 being the one you’re most confident about. If you get it right, you get 16 points. Pretty straightforward. We usually drop your one lowest scoring game. You can join the group whenever you like, but if you want a chance at winning, you’d better be signed up by the first or second week.
Email notifications are also built in, so you can configure your “Picks” to send you an email reminder every Thursday or Friday (or never). That helps you keep from forgetting until Sunday. 
If you’d like to sign up for this one, we’ve got plenty of room. Just go to http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/pickem and click Create or Join Group. You’ll need a Yahoo! account to play, but those are free. Then select “Join Existing Group.” You’ll need to enter the group ID# and password.
