Out of curiosity what week will you bail out and stop playing? What is it usually about 5-6 weeks, then being in the cellar gets cold and done for the year.

Since you're in charge of asking questions..... I was never officially in Pickem' last year.

Hope that helps!

It currently feels like 115° down here in NOLA. Hot as hell

Why not pick 10 high school football games?..... No sweat on the neck ! 👍

Thompson plays Central-Phenix City tonight.

Not sure why that game didn't make the list.
#1 and #2 Alabama

Both teams nationally ranked at MaxPreps.

I saw the game, just didn't want a Thursday game for the first week, give people time to get their picks in.
