The NFL will have a 2012/2013 season!
To celebrate, we will be doing something different here at The Inept Owl for our annual Powder Puff Picks column. Before, the rivalry was between staff writers such as Darby Shaw, Steve Elle, Rob Wheatley, and Evil Peyton Manning for bragging rights and a trophy that puts the Stanley Cup to shame. Each week the lines for each NFL game would be set, they would pick their winners and write up game commentary for your amusement.
This year, you can call them out.
We are inviting anyone, even if you’ve never even seen a football in your life, to participate in picking games this year. Don’t worry, you don’t need to write commentary. Here is how it will work.
1) Register merely by emailing [email protected] and putting “Powder Puff Picks” in the subject. We will confirm your registration and request your aliased name for public viewing.
2) Each Wednesday(due to Thursday games), we will put up the games and lines for that week. Copy and paste, fill in your picks for each game as well as a nickname, and email them to [email protected] before Thursday, 7:00pm EST with the subject line “Powder Puff Picks”.
3) Check back under the Puff Picks tab above after each day of football to see how you’re doing.
4) Repeat throughout the regular season, playoffs, Super Bowl, and even Pro Bowl.
5) Get into the top tier of players and win items such as 2013/2014 tickets, team helmets, jerseys, and other prizes.
6) Tell your friends! The more people who get involved, the more prizes will be available!
Be sure to keep updated with our Facebook page here, and be ready for Week 1 on September 5th!
