Pick the Favorite (Bowl Game Extravaganza)
You know the rules, your pick has to cover the spread posted below or you lose and losses carry a 10% penalty (bet 20 points on a game for example and win, you get +20; lose and you get -22). Since these are sadly the last games of the season we’re going to stake everyone with 100 points to bet. You can bet 10 on 10 different games or 100 on one or whatever your Ouija board tells you to do except no less than 10 on any one game. You don’t have to bet all 100 of it either, that’s just the maximum you’re allowed. Good luck!

You didn't say so, but I would recommend that everyone make the math easy and be sure and make their picks in even increments of 10.
Of course, that does away with my double Secret plan on making my pics of 28.47, 13.66, Etc.

I am really torn on picking a large number of games, or just my best two or three. Right now, I think I'm going to pick 5 to 7. Probably 5.

Re: Pick the Favorite (Bowl Game Extravaganza)
I might have to change it. Per the comments, their best RB might sit it out too. More thinking needed, I guess

No Buffalo picks?
I went back later and looked at it, and really liked it, but didn't change anything because I usually get in trouble when I do lol.

Pick the Favorite (Bowl Game Extravaganza)
It's a marathon, not a sprint. I thought about picking just one team in an effort to hit it and win a hundred pretend dollars, which would be the best way to be top dog here. But I figured I would try to do something more prudent and more consistent with what I would do in real life if it were my real money. Plus it's more fun.

Rooting for UAB, but that's against my interest here. Been a pretty enjoyable New Orleans Bowl. Trying to take my mind off that other sport that I watched this afternoon.
