* Play Oledon's Stupid Underdog Picks, Week One, 2017 Edition *
Reminder--this is very early, and several/many of the games do not currently have a line. If you don't like what you see, check back later in the week and we may have found lines to include and edited the choices.
The game rules are pinned above, but it's simple--pick ONE underdog. They must WIN THE GAME, not just beat the spread. If they do, you get the points by which they were the underdog. Highest point total wins at the end of the season.
Good luck!

See the note about the LSU v BYU game. Scheduled in Houston, likely won't be played there. Probably will have the same line, but don't play it yet until we know for sure where it's being played.

Re: * Play Oledon's Stupid Underdog Picks, Week One, 2017 Edition *
Dang it that was probably going to be my pick before Harvey.

Will probably have the game, so stay tuned.

There are about 4 or 5 intriging possibilities, but I will wait to see the line on Incarnate Word before selecting.

South Alabama, what the heck.

Re: * Play Oledon's Stupid Underdog Picks, Week One, 2017 Edition *
The LSU-Brigham Young game has been moved to the Superdome in New Orleans. Might have to give it some more thought.

You are ok to play LSU v BYU game now if you'd like. Game has been moved to the Superdome, but line remains -13.

Game is available to play if anyone is interested. Fair game.

I'm not getting any new lines, so we'll go with what we have here. If somebody really has a hankering for a game without a line, let me know, and we'll create a line for it.

When was the last time Looeyville was a 27 pt. Favorite? Oh, I remember!

Thought about Troy but couldn't pull the trigger with Boise's elevation.

Looks like we had similar minds for opening weekend, and did well with our picks!
Two winners in Oledon's Opening Weekend. Nice 6 point start to the season for these two.

I think it took me 10 weeks to get a winner last year.

Re: * Play Oledon's Stupid Underdog Picks, Week One, 2017 Edition *
I think I was just the opposite--last year I started fast and finished quickly. Ricky P. would have been proud of me.
