The Hail Mary ONLY comes in to play if AFTER all games are completed, and you TRAIL your opponent by 7 pts or less. It is a last ditch effort for you to either win the game or tie it up and send it to OT, whereas the Tie Breaker decides the winner. I would like to hear from you guys and how you feel about the HM Bonus ... keep it, get rid of it, or modify it?

As for picking the underdog to win ... this one made me think some ... the original intent to go with picks against the spread or picks to win straight up was to include the different ways of scoring in an actual football game ...in this case ... TD or FG. But it does raise a question ... what happens when you pick the underdog to win? Are you awarded 3pts or 6 pts? If the underdog wins, then obviously they cover as well ...so it virtually renders picking the underdog to win a moot point.

So let me hear what you think. If we need to make some modifications, we will do so. I'm open to suggestions and ideas ... I want to make this Pick Em as good as it can be.

this is shite. If it counts for team B, it shoudl coutn for team A as well (assumign both get it correct, of course). You're essentially punishing team A for doing that much better during the course of the "game" in regulation.
