* 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.

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

The LSU-Brigham Young game has been moved to the Superdome in New Orleans. Might have to give it some more thought.

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.

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

“I would like to see us recover our sense that we are more alike than different. We are citizens of a republic made of shared ideals forged in a new world to replace the tribal enmities that tormented the old one. Even in times of political turmoil such as these, we share that awesome heritage and the responsibility to embrace it.”

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

I think I was just the opposite--last year I started fast and finished quickly. Ricky P. would have been proud of me.
