NFL PickEm Years Overview
I have been playing NFL PickEm for about a decade, and one thing I always had trouble with was finding a sheet to make some notes, write my picks on, and keep that sheet on gamedays to see how I was doing rather than looking on the app. I always wanted to make my own system and help people as well, so here it is… I hope you find it useful.
