Pickem Dash Football

[NFL Sounding PA Chime] (scroll down for the NCAA update) Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Week 6 brought some turbulence, and when the dust settled in the cabin, some of you lost your cards in seatback pockets. Turbulence happens, and we drop the lowest score, so whether it was me or those upsets, we are mostly forgetting those Week 6 NFL picks. Please ensure your seat backs are in the full upright position, you've chugged your beverages, and your tray tables are in their full upright position. All chugged? Did I mention the bathrooms are closed for Week 7?  Boarding now : NFL Week 7 card is ready for departure. We have another London game and two Monday Night Football games again. Yeehaw.

[PA Chime] Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain with a brief update from the cockpit. Our in-flight beverage service is now open. We're a little short on help here at Pick'em Dash Football Airlines. You can just take what you want from the shelves. I'll vouch. Boarding now : Both the NCAA and NFL Week 5 cards are up. File your flight plans at your earliest convenience. (All the metaphors don't have to make perfect sense, right?)

[PA Chime] Thiiiiiiis is your captain speaking. For our NFL Week 3 bonus we asked why doubling up Monday Night Football is the best. The cabin chimed in with answers ranging from bedtime complaints to bold mathematical proofs. We'll board in reverse order. Economy: These all felt like they belonged together. Simple, somewhat punchy one-liners that leaned on numbers, timing, or just the joy of more football. This group wasn't weighed down with heavy baggage. They just gave their quick tray-table takes.  Swamp Dogs (DR): Twice as much is always at least three times as nice. Bevo XV (DW): Two is always better than one! Unsolicited Dicker Kicks (MK): When everyone’s on prime time, no one’s on prime time. Accidentchild (MN): There's 2 games. Which is better than 1. Shot Callers (RD): More football is better! Mediocrity (RH): I get to stay up past my bedtime (maybe). Jerry’s Gerrymander-ers (KW):  It doesn’t, the second game is past my bedtime. Far Left-Handed (GN): Because I g...

[PA Chime]  Good morning passengers, this is your captain speaking. Please direct your attention to the in-seat monitors. The Week 2 scoreboards are live. Week 2 NFL?!? A quick reminder about our flight numbering system. We had a quick connection at the NFL headquarters this week, so while the NFL just kicked off their Week 1, here at Pick’em Dash we just completed Week 2. This numbering discrepancy will occur throughout our journey.

9/4/25 Evening  [PA Chime] We’ve reached our cruising altitude of, I don't know, blimp height(?). Sit back, relax, and enjoy some reminders about scoring and points. And if that doesn't excite you, how about the NCAA scoreboard. http://bit.ly/pf25-fbs-score Double Digit Pick Weeks ("Dubs"): Scoring >10 in NCAA +3 bonus points Week 1 Dubs: Jerry’s Gerrymander-ers (KW), Shot Callers (RD), Mediocrity (RH), A Northmen (AN), 18 National Championships (CG) Weekly Win:  Highest score of the week +3 bonus points Week 1 Winner: Jerry’s Gerrymander-ers (KW) Bonus Scoring Lag: Sometimes bonus points get tallied late (c’mon, it’s just bonus) Clarification: Bonus points don’t affect regular season standings In postseason, bonus totals provide a slight advantage Forgetting to Pick: If you forget, don't sweat it Scores of non-pickers will the lowest score of the week among those who did pick Drop the Lowest Score: Implemented last year You aren't your worst mistake I...
