 AND buy the winner his choice of his teams merchandise, max $25 unless you want to go higher.
I haven't watched an entire NFL game in 3 years, so I don't think I can come close to offering a weekly analysis of the Raiders, if need be. Nor would I actually want any Lions gear.
 
 How about a 9:30 Club giftcard?

That works, but the point was for the loser to at least think about the winners team, so a gift card is fine but the loser still needs to at least check the winners team stat sheet and score every week and make some positive comment.

I want to do this, but there's so much reading involved.

  week 1 is super tough though.  have the colts ever lost their first game?

I don't believe you can pick a team more than once.

Is that a new rule? I don't think I've had that problem before.

 But, to make this somewhat simple task more difficult, each user can only pick each professional football team once during the season.
