I'm reading the exact opposite. They are not agreeing with you.


Squatch and RhodeDawg, Please confirm.

That's 2 scoring opportunities lost for Vandy

They aren't good enough to overcome that type of adversity...

I put "LOCK" after the O/U on our game today, but I assumed the lock only applied to the game pick. If I screwed up, I'll take my deduction.

You assumed correctly. As did everyone else, except for one person.

after re-reading it looks like they do disagree with me

It's all good, I got caught in a word game

My bad for not following instructions to the letter

I do not believe that the Lock noted after the pick per line should be for the OU unless you clearly state that’s what it’s for. Otherwise - it’s for the pick...not the OU.

I can see how if you put LOCK at the end of the line it could be perceived that way..which is why I put mine at the bottom.

That was what I was saying.

Why are you arguing? You missed it either way.

So, for early games, is this the correct picks?

Syracuse
Georgia
OVER by 1.5
Pittsburgh
UNDER by 9.5


Mid games still playing
ND...…………...14.5...….....Vandy
OK State...……...3...…..…...Boise St
Auburn...………..9.5...……..LSU...…..….(44.5)
Houston...……....0.5...….….Tex Tech

not arguing, lobbying, and it looks like I lost

It looks like the difference between -400 or not

My only hope of not being sacrificed this week is if the winner accepts my pledge of loyalty (never played before, but I'm a good picker, so my pledge may be worth something)

Or if Wild Thang wins this week, no guarantee, but I've built a little good will with our resident LSU patriot

So, there you have it

If the LSU defense is gassed already, that bodes well for us.

Vandy covering would be very nice.

You picked two locks and the OU’s. Don’t see where the -400 comes in to play.

it comes down to Jeff's decision, or whoever wins this week

If you asked me what my "game picks" are, as a gambler, my answer might be:

UGA - 10, LSU + 3.5, Boise - 28 and over 52 in the Tech vs UNC game

I'm not the only one that thinks this way

The way Jeff worded the instructions, and by a strict interpretation, I DID NOT make 2 "game pick" lock selections

I did, however, at least make 2 lock picks, so that might save me

If this was being tried in court, I would probably get off or at least get a hung jury

We'll see, right now I expect to be on the chopping block

2 turnovers with scoring opportunities makes that pretty unlikely

No matter what happens in this Vandy game, my respect for the 'Does is way up

I hope they can pull this off, I picked ND, but I like what I'm seeing from this Vandy squad
