A document, often in spreadsheet or form format, is utilized to record selections in a contest where participants predict the outcomes of National Football League games during the second week of the regular season. Participants typically choose a winner for each game and may assign confidence points, weighting their selections based on perceived likelihood of success. This selection process is undertaken prior to the commencement of the games.
These prediction contests enhance engagement with the sport, fostering friendly competition among participants. Historically, such contests have been organized within offices, social groups, and online platforms, providing a means for individuals to test their knowledge of the league and the participating teams. The benefits include increased interest in the games, social interaction, and the potential for winning prizes, depending on the specific rules of the contest.
