I guess this contest has died off,....

If not, I'll take the Arkansas Razorbacks over the Louisiana State Tigers, with Felix Jones to back up McFadden for the big upset, end this thing on a bang.

Too bad you posted this after the game (when I was laughing at LSU/Miles over the phone with a bunch of non-LSU fans here in Looziana).
:lol:

Nice try... Great game! Did anyone else hear Les Miles whining like a baby? "Im the head coach I call time out"

Will I pick the Noles to upset the Gators. Lets see
 
Does this contest still have heart beat ? I'm taking UConn +18.5 @ West Virginina. Here's a link to the odds since I'm too lazy to type in every game Invalid Link Removed
 
I went looking for lines - saw a few different ones.
Not sure where we get the official ones at (or where all games are listed in a way to be copied - only found individual games).

Anyone?

I got them from Yahoo Sports. The difference is .5-1 point if there's any difference at all in most cases. As long as we all pick from the same line then it's fair IMO.

Credit me a too late 13.5, cause I am the We and y'all are the They :whiner: :twisted:
 
I'll give you 5 for the Razorback upset but I think jmh won't have any of it since he's right behind you and he'll probably put up a better fight than the 49ers or Cal Bears.

BTW, how will this work during the Bowl Season ?
 
I think - we need to tally up the regular season and then do a pick three on bowl upsets.

Seperate contests and I want to hear commentary on who, what, where, why and how.

Last year we had good discussions, this year has been really weak on commentary, I am at fault, I coulda shoulda put out more.

That's exactly what the girl I'm dating would say about me.
But - she's a chemical engineer also. The attention she gets are only from other ChE's - who are very sedentary. So my biceps stand out. And she's only 22.
Hence - she doesn't know she can do any better.
:lol:




This week I'm again going with Miami over Boston College.

Why? BC hasn't beaten Miami since the leprechaun threw the last second pass in '84 to beat us in the OB (Flutie, that is).

They are a really slow team - FSU showed everyone that.
We have enough speed to create matchup issues.

The UM D has been hampered by no real dominant run-stopper at DTackle. But - the BC RB (Kalendar) isn't nearly as good as VT's Brandon Ore.

And - I think we played fairly well through about 5 mins. left in the 3rd Q against VaTech last week. Their depth up front on both sides just overwhelmed us.
I don't think BC has nearly as much depth as VT - nor the LB's (their best, Brian Toal, is out for the year).
 
So - looks like no one won?


size - you OK buddy? I know you are a closet LSU fan. Must have been a bad Friday for you. ;)
 
No winners this week.
Only three winners out of 29 plays for the month of November, two by Kris and one by Jmh.

Standings are

1- Rogue Drone: 5-6, 38 points overall
2 - jmh80: 5-8 , 37.5 Points overall
3- Yankees3: 5-8 , 32.0 Points overall
4 - Size: 3-9 , 27 Points overall
5 - WannabeHulk: 3-9 26 Points overall
6 - CED59 2-7 19.5 Points overall
7 - Iron Warrior: 3-10 19 Points overall
8 - Binge and Purge: 2-11 17 Points overall
9 - Kris4153 2-3 14.5 points overall
10 - Travis 1-0 , 3 points overall

We should do a triple or quadruple pick for the bowls, giving anyone the chance to win at the end.

I think 4 bowl picks is a good solution because it gives the bottom dwellers like me some hope.
 
The bowl spreads will be so small that to go perfect on four picks may not do enough damage for us lowly folks. I say all you Michigan fans owe me your points as a result of THE GAME.
 
I'll take Missouri too, at +3.0, the Vegas line as of 2 pm today.

Posted at the time of the Coin Flip.

I think the Sooners are gonna win by 10 or more, but it's a play.
 
RD,
Good challenge, sir. Close but no cigar. Congrats on the win.

To everyone else - great contest. Been one helluva year for upsets.

'Till 2008. When there will likely still be quite a bit of parity.

We should have taken Pitt dammit. I didn't think that would happen to West Virginia with so much on the line.

This ain't over till the fat lady sings, but we don't do fat ladies, do we?

CFB won't do a playoff, but we will, I'm thinking a bowl pick four where it's still anyone's game to win, it won't be over until after the skinny music sluts puts on their halftime shows.

If y'all want, I'll post the odds and the method of around the 13th, that being a week before the first bowel movement, the Utes versus the Mid****men. :toilet:

Sorry, just being Feces itious, like the WVU fan that took a :dump: , on camera no less, on the seat of a Ga Tech Band Member last year.
