ESPN Bowl pick em contest

[theredworm]

Has anyone else checked this out? If you enter ESPN on the xbox now there is an update that gives you a list of every bowl game and you pick your winners. There is a friends leaderboard list that scores you first for picking the games, but then when games are played you'll see who picked the best.

They are even giving avatar awards for entering, an ESPN football jersey for entering your picks and a football shaped helmet for checking espn on xbox during Jan 1st through the 10th.

I really hope they do something like this for the NCAA basketball tournament.

Here is the xbox.com info about the contest

I'm always up for some free avatar awards. I'll have to check this out tomorrow morning when I get home from work. Thanks OP.

I assume this isn't using point spreads, just straight up winners, right?

I'm sitting tight at 15-15. Started off well, but just crashed and burned for the onslaught of games over that first week or so.

14-12 after Arkansas flopped on my strategy with picking against the Big Ten anytime they play a Pac-10, SEC, Big 12 team, or Boise State/TCU.
