Pick 3 Underdog week 17
« on: December 29, 2009, 10:51:10 PM »
According to this line, pick three underdogs to win their game this week. With each win you pick, you will be awarded the point spread. There is no award for a pick'em or tie game. The game winner is the winning team, without points. There is a strategy involved here, so give that it's due consideration. The pick is to win the game outright, without point spread consideration.

You can change your picks by modifying your post as late as the deadline. So, based on what you see others pick or based on injury reports you can change your mind. If you do change your pick, modify your original post and then produce a post informing everyone.

The line will not be adjusted during the week. It's your responsibility to pick the underdogs. If you make a mistake and don't catch it by the deadline, you forfeit that game.

We will track the winner each week and the running winner for the season. Even though we already started, you can still jump in!

The picks have to be in by Sunday 8am ET. Post your three picks on this thread.

Make your first pick your best bet and if you win you will get double the points for that game.

If you change your picks by the deadline, keep the first as your best bet.

Good Luck!

(The Giants???  I know, I know, "put the Tanqueray and tonic down and back away from the keyboard"). . .   :laugh:

Sure the Panthers beat up on us and Tampa beat up on New Orleans, but how in the world is New Orleans the Underdogs here? (Unless they are sitting all the starters)

Even a fool when he holds his peace is considered wise; when he closes his lips he is esteemed a man of understanding.

I hate to include the word NASTY, but that is part of being a winning football team.

The Coach sees the glass as half full. The Media sees the glass as half empty. The Fans can't understand why we have a glass that is twice as big as it needs to be.
