How to play:
Here is the way this game works. I will supply the Weeks matchups. With each matchup will be the line as of the last 24 hours. What you need to do is:
- Step 1: Pick 3 teams who are NOT the favorites that you think will cover the spread
- Step 2: Well…that’s it
What you are trying to do, is select the three teams most likely to beat the spread in the comments below. You will get the points POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE that each team earns vs. the Spread. Also, if you miss a week, 5 points will be deducted from your score, so once you start, you can’t quit!

That’s right folks, Heath (represented as Raiden above) has joined us in Week 5. He has been charged the -5 points per week missed and the sad part – he’s not even in last place with a four week penalty. Pete made a massive step forward as did Sixtus, I take a -5 charge (being so horrible I didn’t even submit on my own game) and join Feslen and RK on two consecutive negative weeks.
Standings
- Mark: 18.5pts
