Welcome to the 2020 edition of Guest Guesser, The Seattle Times' football prediction contest. For more than 80 years, we've hosted a football "pick 'em" game, and while the pandemic won't stop the game, we've modified it slightly from its usual format.
Please note that we are not selecting a winner for Round Four of the 2020 Guest Guesser contest (the games of October 17-18). Round selections should have locked at 9 a.m. each day but failed to do so, allowing players to make changes to both college and pro game picks through late Sunday afternoon.
To ensure the integrity of Guest Guesser, Round Four will not be tabulated or counted toward a player’s final standing. We apologize for the inconvenience. An eleventh round has been added to provide a total of ten scored rounds in the contest.
Each week, players predict the outcome of 10 college football games, 10 pro games and one tiebreaker. Unlike previous years, all ten weekly point totals will count toward a player's overall points total.
College game selections must be made prior to 9:00AM Pacific on Saturday mornings and professional game selections must be made prior to 9:00AM Pacific on Sunday mornings. The game locks at 9:00AM and any picks made on or after that time will not register.
How does it work?
For each listed matchup, select the team you think will win. The final question for each weekly round includes a score prediction, used to settle possible ties.
