Simply pick the winners of all 2023 NFL preseason games, minus the Hall of Fame game.

The contest will consist of 48 games, that's 16 games a week over a three-week span.

Contestant with the most number of winners will be declared the champion and take home a winner-take-all purse of $500, compliments of valued EOG contributor RAY LUCA.

Entry deadline for Week 1 selections will be Thursday, August 10 at 7:00 p.m. ET.

For Week 1 of the 2023 NFL preseason, I count two Thursday games. six games apiece Friday and Saturday and two Sunday games.

Good luck to all

Good luck to all

Wow, great contest. It will make preseason NFL slightly less unbearable.

 

[pro analyser]

It may not matter once the counting games begin in two weeks, but the Baltimore Ravens extended their NFL-record streak of preseason wins to 23 with their 17-15 victory over the Washington Commanders on Saturday evening. The Ravens previously beat the Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals earlier this preseason to get to this point.

Baltimore broke the previous league record for consecutive preseason wins in 2021, a mark which had been held by the 1959-1962 Green Bay Packers, who won 19 preseason games in a row.

The last time the Ravens lost a preseason game was in 2015, when the team's current star quarterback, Lamar Jackson, was still in his freshman year at Louisville, so things have changed a lot in Baltimore since the last time the team dropped a preseason contest.

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

From my experiences, gamblers are the most generous people in the World…this contest is just another example…kudos to Ray Luca…

 

[Wade]

Ray Luca is a great guy

 

[Dell Dude]

[NowshesmyRuca]

Thanks for the generous contest RL!

 

[Ray Luca]

Anybody and everybody eligible?

I initially said you should have to be a member when it was announced with x amount of posts.

How was your contest handled?

I'll defer to JK on eligibility

 

[John Kelly]

Everyone's eligible until they're not.

Our community will smoke out a scammer/fraudster.

Contest needs a tie-breaker.....no?

 

[howid]

Ithe Baltimore Ravens extended their NFL-record streak of preseason wins to 23 ...

The last time the Ravens lost a preseason game was in 2015, when the team's current star quarterback, Lamar Jackson, was still in his freshman year at Louisville, so things have changed a lot in Baltimore since the last time the team dropped a preseason contest.

1/16th of your job is done!

I don't think I've ever seen this many posters annoyed by the Grand Challenge.

ABUNDY is one of a kind.

 

[John Kelly]

Contest needs a tie-breaker.....no?

We will chop the pot.

Unless, of course, the winning contestants want an NFL Week 1 regular season showdown for $500.

That move would honor the gambling spirit of EOG contributor RAY LUCA, our contest sponsor.

[Ray Luca]

WVU !!

Now I would like Irish Tim next ...!

 

[Dell Dude]

If Kinky wins, give the money to his favourite charity.

 

[Dell Dude]

And do it directly. Don't give it to Kinky or JK to give to Kiny's favourite charity because there is no Kinky's favourite charity. It will go in their pockets.
