Swill pick'em - B1G games

I think we need some sort of weekly pick'em contest on tSwill - so I've come up with this (since there is no Bookie board feature)

I will list all the B1G games and the pointspread, you pick who you think wins against the spread

(note: I generally use LV Journal and/or vegas insider...but they don't post FCS/FBS games so I used collegefootballpoll.com for those)


@ Minnesota (-43.5) - Eastern Illinois
Rutgers (+7.5) - @ Washington State
@ MSU (-45.5)- Jacksonville St
Penn State (+2.5) - @UCF
@ Indiana (-37.5) - Indiana State
@ Michy (-34.5) - Appalachian St
@ Purdue (-10.5) - WMU
@ Illinois (-30.5) - Youngstown St
@ Iowa (-38.5) - Northern Iowa
OSU (-14.5) - Navy (in Baltimore)
@ Maryland (-36.5)  - James Madison
@ Nebraska (-23.5)  - FAU
Northwestern (-10.5) - Cal
Wiscy (+4.5) - @ LSU

I will post my picks sometime tomorrow - maybe Heat Miser can dish out some of the message board points for the weekly/season winners.

5 of us at 2-0. We're each in for a hunge every week on this right?

Me, Wally, Jake, Guard, and OTPT. Bee I think forgot to make a pick in this one.

Who is tabulating these? Wally! Wally!!!!

I will be so pleasantly surprised if we cover 45.5 points. JSU had 24 TD drives last year that took less than a minute. I don't care who you are playing, if you do that, you have some skill players that can make plays.

As an aside, is there any online betting sites that have that line?

Crap, you're right, but I would have taken WSU to cover so that would have been a L for me anyway.

Yeah - I'll be posting an update after tonights game....still looking for Heat Miser to commit to throwing some of those Swill points to the winner(s).

Bump

Dang it Wally, do what you're supposed to!!!

Lost the Rutgers and Wiscy game.

Bee there's no money on this, just so you know.

9-5 lost on Rutgers, Indiana, Northwestern, Wisc., Maryland

If I'm taking the time to do the research necessary to pick these games then I should at least get the results.

I'll get to it, when I get back from Up North.

And this is why you should never leave Up North - the drudgery begins.

Congrats to Cheesy - in by book you should get 500 Swill points & Intensity, AvgJoe & LoosyGoosy would split 350 Swill points....if Rock City or Heat Miser or Nigel want to award them.

I like how Wally just ignores the fact I tied with Joe and Goose. LOL

No matter but you scored PSU/UCF wrong. UCF was a 2.5 fave. PSU covers ATS.

6-9. Like 69.

technically you were disqualified as you didn't pick all the games.
