football discussion for NASCAR forum

I climbed 17 more positions this week on the BTP contest

currently ranked #21 overall

im gonna come crashing down to earth very soon, i would fade my next plays for real $

...But its fun while its lasted...

BTW: i see at least 4 Nascar forum regulars in the top 100 in the BTP contest in the overall standing after week #5 was complete..and could have missed a few,

but Yisman, shaunovery, vegas39, and 5mike5 all representing STRONG in the early stage so far, and maybe missed somebody...lets keep climbing the boards

and only 3-4 weeks til all the non-pros are gonna get thrown out of the contest and the standings, which should move some of us up a few more spots.....

Congrats to you NFL studs.

At least when the non-pros get booted I'll make it into the top 1000 finally! (1-4 this week)

Be interesting to see how many pros there are this year. Think it was around 600 last year. Which was well down on the year before.

shaunovery · 10-08-13, 12:07 PM

Still cant beleive i fell asleep before mnf and didnt make my pick would of gone with jets

i mean this contest is NOT gonna lure any1 to cough up $200 dollars to turn Pro imo...

nobody is winning a ton of points, (183pts me so far and im #21 overall!) and only top 20 in the final standing win CASH...other winners from 21-50 are only getting SBR T-shirt... oooooooooooohhhh

they should give the top 50 in final standing a chunk of points imo

finishing 21-50th after its over out of about 1,100 players is a joke imo for a prize that cost $2.50

Vegas39 · 10-08-13, 01:50 PM

My picks are in this week. May be a train wreck

shaunovery · 10-08-13, 02:55 PM

the non-pros in the top 20 will turn pro like I was telling you

they freeroll and then go pro and steal money from the real pros

the guy who won last year went pro at the end and cost me hundreds of dollars

Its a poor rule, people just wait till nearer week 9 see if there in contension and go pro if there in with a chance .like yis says it hurts us who are pro all yr round.

Look at all those in the contest who are on zero why bother registering if youre not going to pick

5mike5 · 10-09-13, 07:41 AM

They should have to turn pro by week 2 or 3. It's lame as hell

5mike5 · 10-09-13, 08:12 AM

Live how the prick picks the +100 and +105 games available

Yeah i saw that also the bastard took l
Rutgers +17 i wanted louisvilke that was gonna be my 2x play then it jumped to -19

yisman · 10-09-13, 12:40 PM

yep, I wanted Louisville as well. But picks weren't available on Tuesday (waiting on the prick) and now the Prick decided to lock everyone out of the side anyway.

shaunovery · 10-09-13, 12:42 PM

And as mike says he takes all the +100 ans +105 sides

Vegas39 · 10-09-13, 12:47 PM

He took Pitt/Jets over as 2X I think good chance that stays under

shaunovery · 10-09-13, 12:55 PM

Im looking at denver -27.5 cant see how jaqs keep this close only downside is denver has indy the week after gotta think peyton wants to keep injury free for his homecoming

Vegas39 · 10-09-13, 12:56 PM

plus if Denver up big probably put defensive reserves in and could see backdoor cover

5mike5 · 10-09-13, 12:59 PM

tied the largest line EVER in the Nfl when it opened -28

no way in hell i way lay those pts

This should make mike happy

The Tennessee Volunteers and Virginia Tech Hokies have agreed to play a football game in 2016 at Bristol Motor Speedway, where a record 160,000 fans could be in attendance, according to a source.

This is an event that had been talked about for years. It is unknown exactly where the playing field will be placed relative to the track and infield, which is composed entirely of asphalt.

The Bristol Motor Speedway location makes it ideal for fans from both teams to get to. It is unknown where on the schedule the game will fit.

This September, Michigan announced a record crowd of 115,109 for its defeat of Notre Dame, breaking a record from 2011, the previous time the teams played at Michigan Stadium.

5mike5 · 10-09-13, 07:19 PM

Now THAT sounds fun. Wow what a sight. The most people ever at a football game. And they would fill it
