NFL Challenge
The final major of the year answers one question:
Who is the best handicapper of the group?
With the second highest payout of the Majors, the
cabbage is nice, but this tournament is all about the bragging rights.
With the addition of spreads in 2003, it is the best estimate of who can
pick the best over a grueling 17 week NFL regular season schedule.
In 2002, the TF Group added a playoff format at the
end of the season. The top 4 competitors move onto the playoffs to
crown the champion.
In 2007, the TF Group voted in a
new playoff system which adds a game rating system and over/unders to
the playoff mix.
