Pick the Favorite, Bowl season edition
We are going to split the games up between the ones playing this week (12.21 thru 12.26) and those next week (12.29 thru 1.2). You get 50 ksr bucks for each week and anything you win the first week can be added to your limit the second week—so you can’t skip the first week and have 100 to play the second. You don’t have to bet any winnings of course, so lots of strategy to see who comes out with the most. There’s still a three game limit each week and please make your bets in increments of 10, with a maximum of 50 on any one game.
WEEK 1:
MONDAY, DECEMBER 21
Appalachian State -21.00 North Texas
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22

Not yet, but I will check later today and I'm sure it will be out.

West Virginia -9 is the first line I've seen. I'm good with that.

OK, good...I'm editing the Stupid Underdog Picks game and putting that line in, too.
I can see that being an attractive pick both ways lol. (That's probably why I was mired in last place, huh?)

Re: Pick the Favorite, Bowl season edition
We need some more players! Remember, anything you win this week will be added to your 50 allowed next week. If you don’t bet the first week you can bet 50 the second and the 50 you didn’t use the first will be added to your total but Catmanjack is probably going to be betting 100 the second lol.

Re: Pick the Favorite, Bowl season edition
There are more games today but everyone has finished their first weeks’ games except for me...and anyone else that wants to join in the fun. So far we’ve played 7 games, with the favorite covering 4 times and losing 3 times.
BYU...covered
Buffalo...covered
Coastal Carolina...lost
Tulane...lost
Ga. Southern...covered
Memphis...covered
Houston...lost
Yeager +30 -22 = +8. You will have 58 available to put on next week’s games.
Flounder +30 -22 = +8. You will have 58 available to put on next week’s games.
Blueboss +50. You will have 100 available to put on next week’s games.
Darrell +20 -33 = -13. You will have 50 available to put on next week’s games.
Catmanjack +50. You will have 100 available to put on next week’s games.
Catfan73...I’ll be either +50 or -13 the first week. I noticed a lot of people picking Liberty over Coastal Carolina in the SUP game, which has got me worried. Maybe I can ruin some picks there but if majority rules I’m the one that’s going to be disappointed here. Edit: and so -13 it is. I have 50 available to put on next week’s games.

I will go on record as telling you that I think Coastal Carolina is going to win. This is the kind of season that Tulane had many years ago where they go undefeated. It's a charmed year and they don't play a team that will beat them. I actually feel stupid for picking Liberty as one of my stupid Underdog picks. I do not think that will occur.

I can be wrong in so, so many ways. I really thought the Charmed Life was going to be exactly on point when Liberty did that stupid thing at the end of regulation. And, of course, I was rooting for Coastal as a fellow Sun Belt fan, so you were toast. My apologies. And 2020 still sucks.

Iowa v Missouri Music City Bowl is in jeopardy, if you played Iowa, you may want to choose another pick. Or at least watch closely to see if the game is played.
-
Pick the Favorite, Bowl season edition
Iowa v Missouri has been canceled. There was some discussion about a possible replacement for Missouri, but I don't think that's going to happen. If it does, I'll try to post it as quickly as possible.

Music City Bowl was canceled completely. No Iowa vs Missouri or anybody else.

Big pick.

Re: Pick the Favorite, Bowl season edition
TCU-Arkansas didn’t happen so I’m putting my remaining 10 (as sad as it is) on Clemson tonight.

Re: Pick the Favorite, Bowl season edition
Would like to add 40 to Iowa st raising by bet to 60.
-
Re: Pick the Favorite, Bowl season edition
Well that was fun I think but I’ve confused myself on how to grade it. I think I have it figured out now lol. One note...Catmanjack, I limited your wager on Iowa St. to 50 as was stated in the original post. Spoiler alert...you still won. There were some really good plays in the second week, led by Flounder and Darrell at +50 each, with Catmanjack at +48 and Blueboss at +28. Winner for the pick the favorite bowlapalooza is the same guy who won in the regular season, Catmanjack! Congrats!
Tulsa...lost
Northwestern...covered
Indiana...lost
Okl. State...covered
Kentucky...won but did not cover
San Jose State...lost
Iowa State...covered
Wisconsin...covered
Clemson...lost
CF73 -55, -13 from the first week = -68
Blueboss +50 -22 = +28, +30 leftover in first week’s profit = +58
Yeager +10 -44 = -34, +8 leftover = -26
Catmanjack +70 -22 = +48, +20 leftover = +68
Flounder +50, +8 leftover = +58
Darrell +50, -13 from the first week = +37
