Buffalo Bills: 2020 NFL Draft Props Contest

I have been running a 1^st round draft game/contest for the last eight years, and for the first time, we are opening the contest to all who want to enter. The important details can be found below…enjoy!

1^st Down: What is the 1^st Round Draft Game?

Way back in 2013, I thought it would be fun to make every pick in the 1^st round a little bit more exciting for fans of a variety of teams. If the Browns were picking 1^st overall, a Browns fan may not care too much about the rest of the first round, etc. What spawned was a prop game, consisting of 32 different props, loosely corresponding with each selection during the 1^st round of the NFL Draft. 

Examples could include: Over/Under the number of players selected from the SEC in the top 15 or will the player selected with the 9^th overall pick be offensive or defensive, etc., etc. Ultimately, each correct response earns a set number of points.

2^nd Down: Format

With 32 1^st round selections, there will be a total of 32 props. Each prop will have a binary answer, for which, a correct response will earn the contestant a specific number of “points.” I will use a mixture of “real” odds-based props from sports betting websites along with some of my own. Those props coming from sports betting websites could have different point values depending on the options.

For example, if it is much more likely that a greater number of offensive players are drafted in the top 10, the point value for that correct answer will be lower than guessing that more defensive players will be drafted. Blank entry forms will be distributed as an excel spreadsheet to each contestant. Completed forms should be sent directly to @TiltMoney.

There will be a limit of one entry per contestant.

3^rd Down: How Can I Enter?

Entry into the contest is simple, and it is completely FREE to enter.

The winner of the contest will be the entry with the highest total points across all 32 props.

There will be a single tiebreaker question if multiple entries are tied for the highest point total.
