Dallas Cowboys supporters and knowledgeable NFL fans are invited to apply for one of 10 positions in the new Shop in Seagoville Pro Football Pick’Em League.
The free contest is open to residents of Seagoville, Crandall and Combine. Applicants should closely follow the Dallas Cowboys and understand teams, divisions, rivalries and developments throughout the NFL.
Football enthusiasts can review the contest format and application information on the Pro Football Pick’Em League page.
Ten Competitors and 17 Weeks of Picks
The league will feature 10 local competitors making predictions throughout the 17-week regular-season contest.
Participants will select the winners of 10 featured NFL games each week. The Dallas Cowboys will be included every week except during their scheduled bye week, when the contest will feature 10 other NFL matchups.
Every correct prediction will contribute to the participant’s season total. Weekly results and cumulative standings will allow competitors and readers to follow the championship race from the opening week through the conclusion of the contest.
With only 10 positions available, applicants should be prepared to demonstrate that they follow professional football closely and can make informed predictions involving teams from across the league.
Dallas Cowboys Knowledge Is Important
The contest is designed for football enthusiasts who understand more than team colors and famous players.
Applicants should be familiar with the Cowboys’ opponents, divisional matchups, roster developments and the factors that can influence the outcome of an NFL game.
Participants will also need a broader understanding of the league. Weekly selections may involve contenders, rebuilding teams, divisional rivalries and unpredictable matchups from both conferences.
A successful competitor may need to consider recent performances, injuries, home-field advantage and difficult road games before submitting each week’s selections.
The contest does not require an entry fee or purchase. It offers local football fans an opportunity to test their knowledge while competing for prizes and community bragging rights.
Every Weekly Selection Matters
The league standings will track each competitor’s weekly performance, correct selections, weekly victories and total points.
One difficult slate of games could change the standings, while a successful week could move a competitor into championship contention.
Upsets are part of professional football, and even experienced fans will face difficult decisions. Competitors must determine when to select the favorite and when an underdog has a realistic opportunity to win.
The full 17-week format rewards consistency. Winning one week will be an accomplishment, but the league champion must remain competitive throughout the entire contest.
Prizes for Champion and Runner-Up
Prizes will be awarded to the top two finishers after the final week.
The first-place competitor will receive the championship prize, recognition as the Shop in Seagoville Pro Football Pick’Em League champion and permanent professional football bragging rights.
The second-place finisher will receive the runner-up prize and recognition for an outstanding season.
Additional prize and participation information will be provided to the selected league members.
A Local Competition for NFL Fans
The Pick’Em League will give residents another way to enjoy the NFL season while representing their communities.
Readers will be able to follow the featured games, compare the competitors’ predictions and monitor the leaderboard as the championship race develops.
The contest should be especially entertaining during major Cowboys games, divisional rivalries and weeks when several difficult matchups appear on the selection list.
