On April 14, 2014, the St. Louis Rams asked fans to guess their game schedule for the 2014 NFL season. Whoever guesses right will get $100,000.
The task is somewhat difficult, if not impossible, since participants have to guess the whole schedule and bye week. Specific games should be indicated on Monday or Thursday night football, in a report by USA Today.
Another NFL team, the Buffalo Bills, are also giving a smaller offer - lifetime free season tickets, to fans who can accurately guess their 2014 schedule. This means that fans have to name all 16 games correctly. Many fans already shared their sentiments in social media networks, saying that the prize is too small for such an impossible contest. The upside is that the person who guesses the most accurate games will be awarded free season tickets.
The opponents of the St. Louis Rams were already presented. The Week 17 games need to be divisional games so the choices for the last game of the Rams will only be against one of six teams. These include home or away games against the San Francisco 49ers, reigning champions Seattle Seahawks or Arizona, according to Pro Football Talk.
Kevin Demoff, executive vice president of football operations and chief operating officer of the Rams also presented the general guidelines in creating the schedule. The byes will only start in Week Four and finalize in Week 12. Many of the Rams' games will fall on a Sunday.
According to CBS Sports, winning the $100,000 prize will require fans to accurately predict the whole schedule by choosing the team that the Rams will play against, indicating the venue where the game will be held and the specific date, which is either on a Monday or Thursday. There will be 16 picks in all to complete the schedule. In addition, the bye week of the team should also be predicted.
The NFL schedule is bound to be released before April 2014 ends.
