The HHonors pick-em game is straight-up picks only, not against the number. Very different from parlay or teaser plays. While I'd have almost zero chance of hitting a ten-teamer in Vegas, I think I've always got a decent chance of going 10-0 straight up. Figure six games out of the ten are locks (again, straight-up only, not talking about locks in the sportsbook) and four are up in the air. Any given week: a lot of people will go 10-0.

It happened in 1984. It will happen again this year. Brigham Young University will win the National Championship!
[Yea, right ... not with the Bowl Alliance controlling which teams get to compete in the top tier of bowls. BYU is in a conference that doesn't get an invitation.]

Can someone explain this to me
"This Sweepstakes is open only to natural persons who are, as of May 5, 2003, age 21 or older, legal residents of the United States (excluding its territories, military installations and commonwealths), residing in the fifty United States or District of Columbia, excluding residents of Rhode Island. "
On the registration form you are ALLOWED to choose a country. Why choose a country if its ONLY open to some US residents?

They are tempting you to lie or to tell the truth according to your situation. Whereupon the contradiction between what you told them before and what you tell them now will be forwarded to Ashcroft and you will be suntanning indefinitely in Cuba.
Or perhaps they are just too cheap to get a tailor made site for their contest.
