NCAAF Bowl Games Contest ($2,000 in Cash Prizes)

[SBR Andy]

NCAAF bowl season kicks off December 14th and in addition to the College Football Playoff Challenge that will run on the contest platform, we will have a forum contest with the traditional format.

Prize Pool:

1st - $1,000

2nd - $500

3rd - $250

4th - $150

5th - $100

*All cash prizes paid via PayPal


Contest Rules:

- Pick 15 sides from the bowl game odds below via BetMGM with the following breakdown: Five 3* Picks, Five 2* Picks and Five 1* Picks. Deadline to submit picks is 9:00 PM ET on Tuesday, December 17th or before kickoff if you are playing one of the games on Saturday, December 14th.

- Highest total points will win the prize. If you push on a game, you will be returned half your bet. Tie-breaker will be most 3* picks correct. If still tied after that, leaders will split the prize.

- Make all 15 picks in one comment in this thread. No editing after submission.

*Note: This contest will feature only the non-playoff bowl games. There will be a separate staking contest for the playoff games.

Best of luck!
