The St. Louis Rams unveiled a really cool contest yesterday that will you the chance to win $100,000. All you have to do is correctly guess their entire 2014 schedule. The contest is called “Guess Our Games” and allows one entry per person. The contest ends on April 21, 2014 at 4:59 pm CST or whenever the schedule is released. In the off chance that the NFL schedule is released prior to that time, any entries received after the release “shall be void”.

In the unlikely event that more than one person correctly guesses the schedule exactly, a trivia challenge will be conducted to break the tie. Presumably this will of the St. Louis Rams trivia variety.

I’m not sure of the exact odds of winning this contest, but they have to be pretty high. To win, one would have to guess each of the sixteen games, plus where the bye week falls. Then for each game you have to pick whether it will be played on a Thursday, Sunday or Monday as well as where it will be played.

Here’s what we do know thought to help you make your selections.
