4 entries, so the payout is 30 for 1st and 10 for 2nd. Will try to grade them after the Arsenal match completes.

Alright fellas, we had a three way tie for first place between Smogs, JOHON8 & Wilforth. I think it'd be weak to spread out 30 points between the three of you and give you your points back, so we will do a Sunday tie breaker.
You must pick lines totals for in both England Premier League matches. All picks will be graded like you were making an actual money wager for one unit. So for example if you take Manchester United on the moneyline at +126, you wager one unit to win 1.26. If you bet the under in that match at u2.5 for -119. You wager 1.19 units to win one. You must also pick ONE of your four picks as your best bet which will double the unit size. I will post the lines via Pinnacle later this afternoon. If you've got questions post them here.

I just want to be clear on the tie breaker. For the 2 matches tommorow, is it just ML and O/U? The winner is based on who makes the most units so can I replace an ML with a handicap?
edit: nvm, I think I got it now that I'm looking at the pinnacle lines. So it's basically 2 picks each game of any of the possible picks there.

Why couldn't Hull's defense hold on till the very end?
I had thought that was going to end in a 1-1 draw.
