For most, if not all of you, the season will start to drag a bit when your starting RB goes down for the season and your stud K gets turf toe. It's only week 5, but you're already 0-4 and feeling desperate. Worry not!
There are plenty of other opportunities for you to win some cash and get it back into your kids' college fund before your spouse finds out you tapped it to play in this league.
As mentioned before, the greenhorns from SCL Segundo will be joining the degenerates from Sagebrush Cactus in three of our challenges this season: Golden Ticket, Pigskin Pick'Em, and Eliminator. And, because there are more competitors, the prize for each contest has been increased to $250!
Golden Ticket Challenge
Golden Ticket is back! In this challenge you can choose any player you want, even if that player is on someone else's roster. However, this year there's a new twist: you can change one player on your roster after week 5 and before week 6. I'm not sure it will matter to most of you, but it's nice to have the option. CLICK HERE to submit your Golden Ticket roster and, remember, if you want to change it before the season starts, just submit another one.
Pigskin Pick'Em Challenge
So you think you're capable of picking the winner of every NFL game each week, straight up without worrying about the spread? Prove it. You can CLICK HERE to join our Pigskin Pick'Em group. Just in case you need it, our group name is Sagebrush Cactus League and the password to join is SCL#1. Oh, and I almost forgot to remind you all - anyone that completes a perfect week of picks will receive $10 from every contestant in the challenge. That's an extra $230 for those of you that don't math very well.
Eliminator Challenge
New for this season is our "suicide" challenge. Each week, you'll choose one NFL team that you think will win their game. But, keep in mind, once you select a team, you cannot choose them again for the rest of the season. My gut tells me that this contest won't last beyond week 5, but if you guys want to prove me wrong, feel free to CLICK HERE and take a swing at it. Our group is called Sagebrush Cactus League and the password is SCL#1.
There you have it folks; three opportunities to win some extra cash. So, get out there and get started. Hell, you already paid the entry fee when you joined the league.
And please, for the love of God, make sure your entry name in the Pigskin Pick'Em and Eliminator Challenges on ESPN are the same as your fantasy football team name. No one has time to decipher who "Str8Pimpin" or "SofaKingGood" are. Besides, it's in your own best interest - if I don't know who you are, I can't give you credit for your pitiful performance.
Best of luck!
