All About NFL Weekly Pick Em

By Juliette Cruz


Usually when people think about fantasy football games, they think of the old standby game, where players take control of a complete team for themselves. They start by going participating in a draft and then manage the team each week. This type of game is still played in great numbers all over the world. However, there are other options when it comes to playing online sports games. One such option is NFL weekly pick em.

This kind of challenge is not only fun, but it is also a far easier thing for folks to manage. All they need to do is log into the site and select the winners of each and every game played each week. This takes place all weeks of the season.

It sounds pretty simple. But it really is not. You may get all of the games right some weeks. But every week? Not so simple. Upsets happen all the time. Plus, there are always the really good games, where there is no huge favorite. Sometimes home field advantage is all that makes one team a slight favorite over another.

This kind of virtual offering is ideal for anyone who really does not have the time to spend each week logging in and making all the necessary changes to their traditional teams. Players in those contests need to constantly be checking the waiver wire, moving injured players to the IR and making, accepting and/or declining trades with opponents.

These pick em games are also prefect for folks who are not completely familiar with all the players out there. While many fans know every single player on every single team, some fans do not. Some fans are more casual fans and have a basic sense for what teams do well and what they do not. So, just predicting who will win is an easier, less stressful contest for them.

These pick em type games are becoming more and more popular. Many sports sites offer them for free. The prizes are enticing and worth the effort. A simple internet search will yield many matches and hook you up with sites where, for just a few minutes each week, you can compete for gift cards, electronics, cars and even cash prizes.

As mentioned, winning at these contests is not as easy as it may appear. Just a little bit of research could help you get more predictions correct each week. For example, weather forecasts might factor into how well certain teams will do. Certain teams may also be known to play well (or poorly) on artificial grass.

And of course, knowing if the starting quarterback is out for a couple of weeks might make all the difference when you are about to choose his team. Some teams do better at night, on Mondays, or in November. Taking all things into account may give you that slight advantage that is needed to make that unexpected pick and eke out the top spot.

Taking part in NFL weekly pick em contests is fun. And the thought of winning some neat prize makes it even more interesting. It makes that much anticipated Sunday even more enjoyable when we follow along with the score updates.
