Title: Pick Three Underdog
Post by: vette5573 on October 01, 2009, 10:41:20 PM
Testing a game here. We can continue it each week or as a season based on feedback.

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 total points win. There is a strategy involved here, so give that it's due consideration. The pick is to win the game outright of course, without point spread consideration. That's why it's called pick'em. 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.


The picks have to be in by Sunday 12PM EST. Post your three picks on this thread.

Good Luck!

Babywhales is the leader after the first two sessions, but a San Diego win tonight knocks him off.

What are you talking about, the Browns took the Bengals to overtime and Brady and company didn't have an easy time of it either. This is a little knowledge, a little strategy and a little luck. If the Browns won their game you would be in the top tier with a game to go.

So, with a San Diego loss, here are the last men standing. It's babywhales leading the pack with 6 points. He will be this week's winner unless Green Bay can beat Minnesota on Monday night football. Then it would be a tie for 1st place shared by Tomeee and Elchalje.
