maybe 20-24 points may be good enough to cash a prize

What's the "score" mean? I have the same score at 2 points as some do ahead of me?

First column is actual score, and second is max possible if you win out.

SBR_John · 12-26-12, 10:25 AM

Time to get serious. GL all.

playersonly69 · 12-26-12, 01:05 PM

I am falling to the back too John!

But I have only had play thus far.

Tonight, we have around 12 players on Western Kentucky and only 3 on Central Michigan

But I am on Central Michigan as a 3 unit play. Because so many guys have WK, I really put myself behind the 8 ball if i lose this 3 unit play

BigDeem5 · 12-26-12, 01:35 PM

All my teams plays are lated, we have won a 3*, lost a 2*.

5mike5 · 12-26-12, 01:36 PM

think most have WK rated low

but every win or loss will end up being big if ur close to a prize

thetrinity · 12-27-12, 10:33 AM

this sucks being mathematically eliminated after 2 picks basically, i deserve it tho for the 2 i had.

5mike5 · 12-27-12, 11:13 AM

the contest gets kicked into high gear starting today

playersonly69 · 12-27-12, 12:25 PM

I am just happy to be within 3 points of the odds on favorite trytrytry.

If that doesnt get me 33 points, then nothing will

your "favorite" has 5 less possible points than team avril

all i do is win

5mike5 · 12-27-12, 12:39 PM

possible points left is key this early....

shaunovery · 12-27-12, 12:49 PM

Still thinking if you get to 20 points you're in with a shout

playersonly69 · 12-27-12, 01:32 PM

21 points will probably take 5th. I forgot that we paid out 4th and 5th.

Actually alot will be decided with the La Monroe game tomorrow. Quite a few teams have Louisiana as a 3 unit play and not too many guys have Ohio. I have Ohio but it was only a 1 unit play

For instance,

TeamAvril 3 unit on LaMonroe
LKID1 3 unit la
OLdMan 3 unit La
3cubed 2 unit La
BellCurves 3 unit La
NoStash 3 unit La
LVHERBIE 3 unit La
RJT 2 unit La
DarkHorse 3 unit La
DuffsDeg 3 unit La

Out of the 13 who took LaMonroe, 8 of them took it as a 3 unit play. Likewise, virtually no one took Ohio as a 3 unit play. Was this a stale line that I missed or something? Why all of the love for La here? 95% of you couldnt even tell me what the mascot is for the school or their starting quarterback? But a 3 unit play? And yes I can tell you the mascot and starting QB and alot of other starters. I dont live that far from the school and was actually roped into going to one of their games this season. I sure wasnt that impressed at the time

5mike5 · 12-27-12, 01:35 PM

we are all very impressed

shaunovery · 12-27-12, 01:58 PM

Don't think I used Monroe game at all

not sure why i have to handicap for you after the picks have already been made, but here was my logic:

predictor rating ul-monroe 71.3
predictor rating ohio 59.01

that would assume a point spread of 12 if this game was on a neutral site, and it's more of a home game for monroe. so the line is off by more than any other bowl line.

in addition, ohio has really stumbled at the end of the season and lost their last 3 games, all by 12 or more. in contrast, ul-monroe won their last 2.

so you have the much better team, playing close to home, playing better at the end of the season, and the line way off in the other direction.

SBR_John · 12-27-12, 04:18 PM

This game going on now is critical for a lot of us. We are all over SJSU. I'll give Bowling some credit, I didn't think they would match up on defense. This one looked a lot easier on paper.

Louisvillekid1 · 12-27-12, 04:31 PM

WKY gave me my first loss (2* play), yesterday...

Need UCLA tonight as my first 3* play...

I bet SJST -7 and u 45.5 as well, so rooting for you guys...

milwaukee mike · 12-27-12, 04:43 PM

good luck louisville kid

both my entries here are big on cincinnati, and hels' contest too. pretty dumb thing to do when i'm winning that one, but what the heck, all or nothing!

5mike5 · 12-27-12, 04:45 PM

cincy 3* for my squad too

Iwinyourmoney · 12-27-12, 05:55 PM

UCLA 3 star and duke 2 star. Go!

playersonly69 · 12-27-12, 06:24 PM

A real tough loss for anyone who took Bowling Green today! All sorts of things went wrong in the final 5 minutes of the game that they were covering and leading the whole time until then

5mike5 · 12-27-12, 06:50 PM

SBR Lou · 12-27-12, 07:06 PM

GL gents! Standings updated after the 1st of the 3 games tonight.

yisman · 12-27-12, 07:09 PM

shaunovery · 12-27-12, 07:39 PM
