RESULTS – Steemit Thursday Night NFL Free-For-All: Rams at Seahawks

We had another successful week for the Thursday Night Free-For-All! Thanks again to everyone for participating. Just one more week left!

The Seattle Seahawks controlled much of the game Thursday night, despite rushing for only 72 yards – an average of 2.4 yards per rush – and having 13 penalties. After a terrible performance last week against the Packers, Russel Wilson completed 19 of 26 passes and threw for three touchdowns against the Rams. Los Angeles rookie quarterback, Jared Goff, was knocked out of the game in the fourth quarter after taking a hard shot from Seahawks cornerback, Richard Sherman. Goff is now under the NFL’s concussion protocol and will hope to be cleared before next Saturday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers.

The Seahawks are now locked in for a playoff spot after their 24-3 win on Thursday. They have now won the NFC West division three times in the last four seasons.

Now to the results of the Free-For-All!

Rewards, Winners, and Payouts

We had a total of 20 contestants for the second Free-For-All contest. The totals earned from the Tuesday post were 21.115 SD and 30.310 STEEM. I sold the SD for STEEM at a price of $0.16999 per STEEM and received 124.206 STEEM, bringing the total to 154.516. After adding the 250 STEEM donated by @nextgencrypto, the total pot increased to 404 STEEM (I dropped the decimal amount of 0.516).

The payout for each of the five statistical categories was 80.8 STEEM. These were the final stats and the winners for each category:

Watch for the final post for this three-game series on Tuesday!

Let me know your thoughts on this format – we have playoffs approaching quickly and I want to plan for the few great weekends of playoff football that we have coming up. We had 20 contestants and 5 winners this week, again giving us rewards distribution to 25% of the players. The lowest payout this week amounts to approximately $6.50, while the highest payouts are over $13 – and the cost for playing still remains essentially nothing! You can’t beat that kind of return!

Thanks again to all of the participants and supporters! The final Thursday night Free-For-All for the regular season will be a classic match-up between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles. It should be a fun one, so don’t miss it!

Please share this with your followers, friends, and family – especially those who have not yet joined Steemit! If they enjoy sports and games, bring them here for some football fun and prizes!
