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!
Week 4
So here is what’s crazy, a bunch of us picked the late slate of games (Feslen, RK and Pete voluntarily, Sixtus and I because we got around to making our picks late) and while Jacksonville of all teams got us some points, at least two of us picked Cardinals (-12), Vikings (-8) and Bengals (-20). Just. The. Worst. Sixtus takes top billings on the week as the only player with a positive amount (+1.5).
