Week 5 Football Pool (in Contests)

Rules are simple, pick your winning team with the spread and total points scored for tie breaker game.

The spread is what the favored teams are picked to win by. For instance if KC is the favored team to win by -4 points if you pick them then they have to win the game by more than 4 points for you to get the win, but if they win by only 3 points then who ever picked the team they played against (ie Raiders) will get the win because KC didn't cover the spread.

Don't forget to give me your tie breaker number, and that number is what you think the combined score will be for the Monday Night game. (For Example Team A gets 12 and Team B gets 18 then the combined score is 30 and that is the tie breaker score. What you have to do is see if you can guess it or get really close, so that if there is a tie with the picks then who ever gets the closest wins)

ok wow slow week, not very many entries... so I am gonna throw in 400k to start this bad boy off, and if I get atleast 10 more entries by tomorrow then I will put another 400k in there.

well looks like 1st and 2nd are locked in...

DrAc0 is 1st with 9 picks correct
Josh is 2nd with 8 picks correct
and Rx3 is in 3rd with 7

All three of those guys have the same pick for tonight's game so 1st and second won't change, but 3rd could because there are 5 players with 6 picks correct but just 1 of those has a different pick than RX3...

so 3rd is between RX3 and th00p depending on tonight's game...

good luck you guys...

th00p October 6 2008 8:33 PM EDT

C'mon Minnesota!

th00p October 7 2008 12:04 AM EDT

Woohoo 3rd place! =D

2 weeks in a row you benefit from Monday night. Also, 2 weeks in a row I finish in 2nd. =(

PeterGriffin October 7 2008 11:16 AM EDT

Not so fast there th00p, you and rx3 tied with 7 picks correct... and it came down to the tie breaker score for 3rd...

Game score was
30 - 27
total 57

th00p tie breaker score guess 48 difference of 9

RX3 tie breaker score guess 54 difference of 3

rx3 wins 3rd...
