Thursday College Football challenge for 25 of my points!

[pavyracer]

Bowling Green -3
Miami Ohio +3

Ball St +17
No Illinois -17

South Florida +2.5
Rutgers -2.5

These are the lines for tonight’s games. The goal of this contest is to predict the combined number of points each team you chose beats the spread. For example if you pick Bowling Green -3, No Illinois -17 and Rutgers -2.5 and Bowling Green wins by 7 points, No Illinois by 21, And Rutgers by 4 points the points required to be guessed correctly will be (4 + 4 +1.5) = 9.5

If they don’t beat the spread points will be subtracted if you picked the favorite. The same occurs if you picked the dogs or a combination of dogs and favs.

You have to post your three picks first and then guess the number as it was explained to you above. The one who picks all three winners and comes closest to the number by either going above or below will win 25 of my points. If noone picks all three winners then the one with most wins and closest to the number predicted wins.

Fishy, South Florida is getting 2.5 and I like them to win by 4 so the 4 they win by and the 2.5 they are getting is a difference of 6.5 no? So I rounded down to the 20 instead of up to 21. If you look at Pavy's example he deducted the spread from the total of what he suggested they win by so it stands to reason you would add the total in the case of selecting the dog.

Yes if you pick South Florida +2.5 and they win outright by 4 points you will get 6.5.
