North Alabama Football Pickers

We pick all SEC games, a GAME OF THE WEEK from the SEC, BIG10, BIG12, ACC, and a Wild Card PICK 'EMS in which the teams could be from anywhere, and other games for a total of 20 games each week when possible.

During WEEK 0, we only get 7 or 8 games, and we get 1 game in WEEK 15, The ARMY - NAVY Game, and then the week of the Conference Championship Games, we get 10 games.

Bowl Weeks are different, as we squeeze 45+ games, including the College Football Playoff games and the National Championship Game, into 5 weeks.

One game is chosen each week as the PICK 'EMS EXTRA game. For this game, in addition to picking the winner like the other 19 games, you also pick the score of the game, the spread of the game, and the point total of the game. These three picks create a fourth component called the overall. Each one of the categories has a winner and we have a season winner as well.

These are some of the hottestly contested trophies that we play for. Last season, three of the 4 came down to the last week, with one player winning one and the other winning the other two.

When possible, we select 5 GAMES OF THE WEEK: 1 each from the SEC, the BIG10, the BIG12, the ACC, and 1 Wild Card that we call the PICK 'EMS GAME OF THE WEEK.

We ask Vegas-style questions about these games, 2 questions total, for small point-values. There will be a weekly winner each week and a season winner.

No one knows where the questions will be coming from either. They could be about how many defensive touchdowns the loser will get, or how many pick-6's the winner will get. You just never know what kind of question is going to pop out of the mind of that man!

Our Administrator has made it a point that he would prefer to have more numbers than fewer numbers in the PICK 'EMS games. He says "The more Pickers we have, the more competition we have", and he truly believes it. Having been a High School coach for several years and a player for many more, he thrives on the competitive juices that this game brings to the table.
