[Guynemer]

Jesus, only 10-10 this week.

What happened to us raping the Vegas line week after week, gentlemen?

[gjramsey]

Tubes raped the line this week, but it's very hard to do that consistently. I'm happy just to be over .500 for the season.

Last year, all of us destroyed the line.

[Tupac Shakur]

I don't know how to explain that. I guess you all got lucky?

[gjramsey]

Sloww and Ming have a nice 6 game lead.

1 Dallas Dwarf Tossers       87
2 Mingapulcos                87
3 Hewes's Picks              81
4 berz                       80
5 Borisaliciousness          80
6 Guild of Calamitous Intent 79
7 California_Love            78
8 Ramsey's picks             77
9 ACKalachian State          75

Correct... Betting College Football against the spread is a crap shoot at best. This year, only Sloww and I are really ahead of the game.
Last year, all 7 players were over 500

1 Dallas Dwarf Tossers 210-157
2 Mingapulcos 202-165
3 Ramsey's picks 202-165
4 Calamitous Intent 196-171
5 Boris' picks 188-179
6 Pryor Shotputs TDs 186-181
7 Hewes Picks 186-181

However, with a 10% vig, only four of us would have made money if we had made the same bet on every game

[Boris Godunov]

But I missed the entire first week of picks last year. If you give me even a modest swing for that missed week, I would have been right up there, too. Five out of Seven making money would be pretty astonishing, all things considered.

[Guynemer]

It is bizarre. I wonder if Vegas got hurt last year.

[gjramsey]

Ming pulls out to a 4 game lead. Boris wins the week with 13 correct.

1 Mingapulcos                99
2 Dallas Dwarf Tossers       95
3 Borisaliciousness          93
4 Hewes's Picks              91
5 berz                       90
6 Ramsey's picks             88
7 Guild of Calamitous Intent 87
8 California_Love            85
9 ACKalachian State          84

[Boris Godunov]

Yay!

As long as I beat Guy, it's all good. I'm still pissed about those nukes.

[Tuberski]

I'm out of the basement!!!!!!!



ACK!

[SlowwHand]

How do you figure?
