Doc, the only line I see has UCF -41. Okay with you?

We’ve picked 16 different teams so far. This is going to be a fun weekend.

Does anyone else get worried when people pick the underdog (Arkansas) in the SUP contest in a game you picked the favorite in?

[UKFlounder]

I think I’ve picked 16 teams myself, LOL, but hopefully have made my final changes. I really aM unsure about this week, so, logically, I probably should limit my risks, but it’s just a game with fake money, so I’m playing.

I agree about the SUP conundrum, but last week I picked Purdue here, but others chose Oregon St in SUP and the Boilermakers beat them, so that actually worked for me.

This week, I picked Washington in SUP, but a couple players picked Michigan herr.

I think it makes me worry more about whether they’ll cover the spread than losing outright but either way it’s just a dumb fun game.

Looks like it’s gone up to 45, 45.5 lol. You’ve got it at 41.

[Catfan73]

Well that wasn’t nearly as good as last week. This week we went 8-8 against the spread. There was one big winner though as Mick went a big +50! My big takeaway so far this season is forget everything you thought you knew, because this early in the season most of it is based on last season. Well except for Mick apparently.

Kentucky covered
Colorado St. lost
UCF covered
Oregon St. covered
Texas lost
Georgia covered
Army won but did not cover
Notre Dame won but did not cover
Memphis covered
Texas A&M won but did not cover
Ohio St. lost
Iowa St. lost
Michigan covered
Miami won but did not cover
Pittsburgh covered
Boise St. covered

Doc +30-22 = +8
CF73 +40-11 = +29
Blueboss +40-11 = +29
Flounder +30-22 = +8
Terminus +10-44 = -34
Catmanjack +10-44 = -34
Kingcat +20-33 = -13
Mick +50
Yeager +10-33 = -23

Well, at least I kept a positive number.

Thank you, Memphis, for winning by 5 with a 4.5 spread LOL.

[blueboss]

Thank you Army for letting WKU score three touch downs in the 4th to blow the line…

Congratulations on the win though, and may God bless you for your service.
