This is the thread for the 2019 VFV NFL P.O.W. contest. The following are the rules for this year (the same as in the past):
1. All contestants must be a member in good standing with VFV Forums
2. Players make one (1) single play ATS each week during the NFL regular season
3. A correct play results in one (1) point being awarded. A "push" or tie, results in a half point (1/2) being awarded
4. An Incorrect play results in zero (0) points being awarded
5. All lines MUST be taken from the following website each week: http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/
6. All lines must be -110 or less (must be posted on above site...no buying 1/2 point)
7. Only Vegas Sports Books listed on the VI website will be allowed
8. The following Books will NOT be allowed: VI Consensus, BetOnline, PepperMill, Atlantis Reno
9. The following selections are allowed: Full Game Side, Full Game Total, First Half Side, First Half Total (NO MONEYLINES ALLOWED)
10. Plays MUST be submitted each week by kickoff of last scheduled game.
11. Plays must be in the following format (or close to it):
2019 NFL P.O.W. (0-0-0 (post your current record here))
Atlanta Falcons +3 (Golden Nugget)
(This is where you will post your reasoning for this selection. It doesn't have to be a book or even a full paragraph, but more than just "I think the Falcons are better.")
12. Myself, Seahawk Rick (the artist formerly known as Cybergolf) or any other I deem so, will have final ruling on if a play is valid (ie: Wrong line, Wrong Book, Not enough reasoning given, etc)
13. The first couple of weeks I will give the benefit of the doubt to any newcomers on here...veterans, you know the rules, LMEAO
14. NO EDITING!!! (ironic, as this was edited by DaveTuley LMEAO)...you can't change your pick after you post it as this supposed to mirror the real world where you lock in your bet at the current number...if you need to clarify something in original post (typed in wrong team or line, or forget to cite sportsbooks, etc.), please quote in new post to bring it to the moderators attention
15. For the first time, this year, Week 17 will be worth 2 points for a correct selection and 1 point for a push.
16. To qualify for the playoff round of this competition, players must have a total of 10 points by the end of the regular season (week 17)...important note: your points will be the number of Units you start with in the playoff portion of the contest that runs through the Super Bowl and will be run by DaveTuley with locked-in spreads and totals, though Tuley often will give extra options if the market has variances such as Patriots -6.5 but also Steelers +7 being available); still debating maximum units allowed for playoff round (currently 5-unit max bet each playoff weekend).
17. ViewFromVegas shirt to top point-earner in regular season; $100 gift card & VFV shirt to overall playoff champion (we've had VFV Forum members offer up additional prizes in the past including cash and steak knives, so please contact DaveTuley if you have anything to add).
If you have any questions, feel free to ask and best of luck this season!
