News: BTB: NFL Pick 256 Challenge - Can You Beat The Pro Pickers In Week 13?

[NewsBot]

How many of Week 13 games can you accurately predict? Join our Pick 256 Challenge to find out.

Pick 256 is a season-long contest in which BTB members and readers get to pick the straight-up winners for all games each week. Overall, 211 BTB-members took part in the Pick 256 challenge last week, and did fairly well.

The BTB consensus went 10-6 last week, the same result you'd have gotten had you picked the favorites in each game.

Do you think you can do better than that in Week 13? Submit your picks below to find out.

Week 13 Picks


If you want to be featured on next week's leaderboard, enter your picks before Week 13 kicks off on Thursday. Click on the link below and you'll be taken directly to the Pick 256 entry form where you can select the teams you like for the win.


The link above should auto-fill your BTB user name into the entry form (in most cases). In some cases, the link hasn't worked properly, so here's an alternative link that works without the auto-fill - just remember to spell your username correctly.

Alternative Pick 256 Entry Form

If you prefer not to use your BTB user name, or are not a BTB member, go ahead and enter a name of your choosing, but try to stick with that name throughout the season.

The fine print


Submissions have to be in by kickoff time of the Thursday night game, which kicks off at 8:25 pm ET on Thursday. To keep a level playing field for everybody, late submissions will not be accepted (all entries are time-stamped). This gives you a good two days to submit your picks.

Every week, we'll publish a spreadsheet with all the picks here on BTB, usually on Saturday.

The entry form contains detailed instruction on how you can change your picks at a later point, read them carefully. You can of course come back at any time before kickoff on Thursday and submit new picks. When there are multiple picks by the same BTB member, our pick tracker will always default to the latest entry.

With all of the technical stuff out of the way, good luck with your picks.
