2025 NFL Pool Week 1

If life gets to busy any given week, I am more than happy to assist in scoring/tabulating. Please feel free to reach out and task me with something.

Just to be clear, we can opt out of the prop bet. Even this week with just one we can be ‘safe’ and not take the bet, right? To opt out, we just don’t include the bet(s) in our choices? is that the best for you?

Thanks, if I find myself bogged down with it I may take you up on that offer.

Yes, prop bets are optional since they require risking points to win points. All things considered it shouldn’t tilt the table one way or the other; if the bets are reasonably well conceived they’ll break 50/50 and if not the free points should be obvious to anyone with points there for the taking.

So for example if we have 5 tied for 1st place this week we may have 5 prop bets in play, assuming all 5 submit one in time. You can play all, none, or pick which bets to play. So copy and paste only the ones you want to play and note your answers.

With almost 30 players now the prop bets component could get interesting.

I agree that the prop bet probably won’t decide the week. But it could. If you opt out you’re 1 point behind everyone who got it right.

If there is a tie resulting in more than 1 prop bet the following week things will get more interesting. I’ll probably still do them and take the chance of being ahead of those that opted out.

One more player to reach 30.

Was still thinking about it. Still not sure how many of the props I’ll jump into - I, uhh… can’t afford to loose points - but this one just seems statistically highly unlikely.

Which means there will be three…

Who would have thought of a prop bet of “A player will get tossed from a game for spitting on someone”?!?!

That’s why you need season long ones which @sphere will do next year

I’m probably too late, but I’ve been out of town.

Jalen Carter, an absolute beast, is not well-known for decision making

That’s cause Suh retired this off season

I thought he was more of a stomper, not a spitter?

This is a good one; game suspended due to weather. Happens at least once a year?

More wins for Neon or passes completed by Shadur

How do you score ones that last a year? Just one point?

Yeah…most of the ones I thought up are fun larks not overly dry boring shit like will there be special teams TD

You can be as creative as you want so long as it’s resolved that week and the options are binary. Who scores more points, Patriots or Tar Heels; does Caleb Williams play in colored or nude nail polish etc.

Prop bets were wild back in the day.

Dak spit first.
