2018 Field Goal Frenzy Game -- New, with a twist
This year we're going to play it a little different. We're going to take all games in which the line is a field goal or less, and you will select only ONE team that you think will win.
You get 1 point for each correct weekly pick.
If you pick an underdog to win, and they win, you get a bonus 0.2 points.
Most points in a week = 1.2 points.
This week's field goal frenzy options:
THURSDAY, AUGUST 30
PURDUE -3.00 Northwestern
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1
Auburn -3.00 Washington (Atlanta)
MIAMI (O) -2.50 Marshall
Michigan -1.50 NOTRE DAME
Texas Tech (Houston) -2.00 Mississippi
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 2
Miami (FLA) -3.00 Louisiana State (Arlington)
Remember, just pick ONE game. We'll see if you were right, and if so, you get +1. If you picked the underdog, and they won, you get +1.2 total points.
Good luck.

Thanks, Catfan73. I like it, too. I will, most definitely, fool myself into thinking I can figure out one game each week.
I'm actually interested in seeing if somebody ends up hitting like 75% of them. I bet somebody will.

These bookies know what they are doing. Purdue was giving 3 to NW. NW won by 4.

Didn't they "miss" that by 7? The wrong team won.
(Usual caveat here that oddsmakers aren't predicting an outcome, but instead just choosing a line that is designed to equalize bets for both teams insuring a profit for the book.)

One dumbo already missed his pick....

Re: 2018 Field Goal Frenzy Game -- New, with a twist
Wow. Every player has won their pick. Every. Single. One.
Oops.
Except one.
I should just stay out of the game and grade it each week. :)

Unbelievable. Every single player got their pick right, including many underdogs.
Well, every single player except one.
