Hogs Haven NFL Week 9 Pick ‘em contest (with announcement of Week 8 winners)

No prizes; just bragging rights

If you’d like to get in on the fun of picking this week’s winners in the NFL without having to risk any money or win any prizes, I’ve got the contest for you.

This is actually two contests:

• Simply pick the winner (Pick’em)
• Pick against the spread (Spread)

You can participate in either, both, or neither.

• No entries will be accepted after kickoff of the Thursday Night Football game.
• If you want to change your entry, simply click the appropriate link below and fill in another entry form. I will use the last one submitted prior to TNF kickoff as the official entry.
• The spreads used for the Point Spread contest will be the ones available to me at the time of writing the article and they will not change.

Bragging rights for this week

Point Spread

We had 32 entries in the Point Spread contest (down from 37 entries last week). The Point Spread contest ended in a 2-way tie between HK2000 and Kraftymike, each of whom correctly predicted the outcome of 11 point-adjusted games out of 16 played. Hot on their heels was Los Redskins with 10 correct predictions. Nine other entrants correctly prognosticated 9 outcomes in this week’s Point Spread contest.

Pick’em

There were 46 entrants in this weeks Pick’em contest, down from last week’s total of 54. Normally, if we have a tie, it is in the Pick’em contest, where entrants pick the actual winners of games played without any point adjustments, but this week, while 13 entrants tied for second-place, Cartesian Theater stood alone at the top with 13 correct predictions (out of 16 games). The two key predictions that seemed to separate him from the pack were the Eagles and the 49ers. Most of those in a tie for 2nd place picked one or the other of those winners, but not both.

Congratulations to all on another great week of predictions. Don’t forget to click the links above and get your entries in for this week; it costs nothing to enter except a few minutes of your time, and the pride of winning will warm you for an entire...
