    Seaborn, good job!

    Who will win $25K first? The Giant or Seaborn?
    It's not going to be me. Every time I want a game it isn't available.

    I guess I'll wait and try for Dallas tomorrow.

      I also like The Ravens, The Giant.

      I would have taken The Ravens also if they were available, The Giant.

        I'm kind of ticked, Diggity, and the worst part is I have money on the Ravens, so I can't root against them.

        After the game I'm going to be mad either way now.

        I either lose money or lose a chance at #13. It's all very confusing.

          Root for that money, Giant.

          I'm on Balt +7 also. Root for me if you like.

                    I need all the help I can get, Diggity.

                    I kind of feel like I got robbed without having a chance at Baltimore.

                    I'm looking at either Dallas on Sunday, and/or Ohio State on Monday. If neither of those are available, I'll have to scramble for something Monday night.

                                  what a crazy ending

                                  I don't get why they threw

                                  can't risk an incompletion

                                  if I was coaching I run the ball, keep the clock moving, and kick a FG with about 1:20 left to make it an 8 point game

                                    Thanks, Diggity!

                                    That was one hell of a game. I kind of feel bad for Cowboys fans, I think they got a raw deal.

                                    Anyway, that was #13. It's been a hell of a ride. The last six winners have pretty much been all luck, except for maybe the Wizards.

                                    I like Ohio State tomorrow, not sure if I'll take them or not with the streak, but definitely for money.

                                    Hope you're having a good one.

                                      Yeah, I wasn't sure what I wanted to happen at the end. Obviously them getting the first down was the perfect scenario, but everything else could've resulted in a field goal.

                                      If they run the ball, and get back to the line of scrimmage, that would've set up a 52 yard field goal. Tough spot for a coach with only 1:20 left. Either way, I was pretty fortunate.

                                      I also had to dodge that two-point conversion.

                                      Anyway, I'm glad it's over. Thanks, yisman.

                                        Streak is over. Had under Griz/Suns 207. Under the entire game until a flurry by Suns sends game into OT. Holy Fuk.

                                            Just checked it was at 194 with 42 seconds left. Griz up 100-94. Probably goes under 99.9% of the time because no one gives a shit and its time to get out of town. Oh well. Griz up 95-86 at the 3:15 mark of 4th. I thought I was in good shape at that point. Only 181 points. Should never have gone into ot. Vince Carter misses a free throw late in regulation that would have put Griz up by 3.

                                                Took a bit hit with NBA bs

                                                several hundred on under 104 Lakers/Blazers 2H

                                                Blowout game, but 13 points in the final 1:27. Portland wouldn't run clock. Lillard was busy running up the score with dunks and 3s.

                                                Bad enough when you lose because of fouling and/or OT, but this one I thought was out of reach.

                                                105 points in the second half for another loss by exactly one point.

Probably goes under 99.9% of the time because no one gives a shit and its time to get out of town. Oh well. Griz up 95-86 at the 3:15 mark of 4th. I thought I was in good shape at that point. Only 181 points. Should never have gone into ot. Vince Carter misses a free throw late in regulation that would have put Griz up by 3.
                                                  That's about as bad as it gets. Sorry man.

                                                  I've had about five games fall my way in such fashion recently, and I can't lie, it does feel pretty good, Manster. Hopefully the horseshoe remains a little while longer.

                                                  Nothing like losing an under with guys doing some stat-stuffing in the final few minutes. 13 points should be plenty of cushion for an under in a blowout game with a wide point spread. Sorry for the loss, man.

                                                      this is what they do when a couple streaks get to 11-14. They will narrow down the picks to truly 50 50 type picks. Theres a reason this contest has been running for awhile now and no one has won. At least you were smart and started a thread about it, they might open the picks up a little more and let you get there for the publicity

                                                          I'm kind of glad it's not available to be honest. I was kind of on the fence whether to take it or not tonight, at least they made my decision for me.

                                                          It just seems so random which games they put up on a daily basis. It's kind of felt this way for a few weeks now. Are you sure no one has ever won 21 straight?

                                                          I won't be taking anything tonight either. It's nice to have a week to be able to pick and choose.

                                                                I'm thinking we get some rub-and-tugs, Diggity.

                                                                This $500 can't even be used on a ML. I was going to put it all on Ohio State, it won't allow it. Nor will it allow ML parlays.

                                                                I might as well just do the eight, three-team parlays, where I can assure myself 75%. ($375). Kind of lame, but better than putting it on a straight bet.
