My picks are in too - did you get an e-mail or anything to say they had been received okay?
I wanted to include the Ravens +4.5 but decided against it at the last minute
Yes Dean. I received an automated email immediately after.
I think Baltimore will win straight up as revenge for the last game. I didn’t put them in though. As you know, the system was suggesting the Ravens to cover the spread but Denver to win.
Here’s my 5 picks
Jets-3
Rams +4
Giants +6
Atlanta +3
Arizona -2.5
Decided to take the Vikes out, I think we need to see them and the 49ers before we can have a good steer on those teams. Same for Miami / Washington.
Here are mine.
- NY Giants
- Tennessee Titans
- New Orleans
- Atlanta
- Chicago
Looks like we’re opposing each other with one and on the same sides in two.
All the picks are up on the site now.
Does anyone know what the final prize money for the top 7.5% has ended up as?
Not sure yet. It’s looking like a 26,250 prize pool.
£24,250 isn’t it? (97 entries)
I like your Titans and Bears picks, I think they have been underated.
I’m seeing 105 entries here. Refresh the page and see if that does anything.
The Bears pick is the one I thought I would throw in because I was confident I would be going against the consensus on. I was actually surprised that the system pulled up the Bears to win by one so went and had a look at John Fox’s first games as head coach at different teams. He won at Carolina in '02 but only lost by three at Denver. As you can see, if I am baffled by a result I go and look for something to make a case for me to go with it.
The one I almost put in was Houston -1 but had a chance of heart this morning.
Chiefs are dangerous, I didn’t want to play that one.
I see the 105 entries too, so I’m guessing the top prize will be ten thousand pounds?
What is your team name? (Mine is West Yorkshire Printing).
There are some really funny names on there, I like Wilfolk On First Date
FootballPointspread.tips is my team.
It Ertz when Eifert made me laugh when I read it.
Top 5 consensus plays:
MIA 42
NYJ 35
GB 31
OAK 27
MIN 23
Great start I’m 5 for 5. Glad I left the Vikes out.
I think it will get a lot tougher from here on in. Roll on week 2.
Good one, Dean!
I’m 3-2.
Gutted I missed out on this losing my broadband/Wi-Fi net for a week right before the season started has cost me - hope they run again next year… On the bright side I was lucky it went down 1 day after my last live draft league. Maybe I saved my self £250 but am a gambler and if I won would have got me back a good chunk of my losses. Good luck all those of you that got in on this and hope someone that uses TFP wins. 
I’m really drawing a blank in week 2, my scratch pad is full of scribbles, I was going to do Denver last night but didn’t want to submit all my picks at this stage. Eagles laying all those points?
equi - how did you know the Prize Structure? Fourteen Thousand Pounds seems too much for the winner (wouldn’t be complaining if I copped it though).
Dean,
They sent out an email on Tuesday to inform us that the leader board was up and then noted the prize structure. I’d check junk mail if I were you just in case it fell in there.
I have your email so I’ll forward it on to you just in case.

Thanks David
Can you believe 5 players haven’t submitted picks this week?? £250 entry and they’ve jacked in after one week. Spreadex truly have some big hitters on their books.
This weeks picks (avoided the Bears due to Alshon Jeffrey uncertainty, & Tennessee giving points when they were receiving earlier this week).
Houston +3.5
St Louis -3.5
Oakland +7
Seattle +3.5
Jets +7
