Poll question: NFL Picks needs opinions on a rule change
Sorry to bug you guys. I need your help on this.

There are two players now in the Tier Two standings. One has asked to be moved back to the Tier One standings. I think the fairest way to accommodate this for us all would be 1): to amend rules one more time, changing the number of bye weeks from two to three, and 2): Ask the group for their consent.

So here's the poll. Yes eliminates the Second Tier and gives everyone three optional bye weeks. No keeps things the way they are. In case of a tie I'll flip a coin. Weeks 16 and 17 are still mandatory.

*Non-players -- please do not vote.

This is the LAST TIME I'll allow a change to the rules. No exceptions. Voting ends at 9:00 AM EST, Thursday, November 17.

Many thanks...

Auggie

p.s.
Standings -- with or without the second tier -- will be posted after voting ends, along with spreads for Week 11.

2. A few years back I asked
if anyone wanted to play these games without the spread and the majority said no. Seems to be so much parity in the NFL now that few of our games are decided whether a team covers or not.

Thanks for your thoughts.
