Great work running this thing again, 88. Sorry I crapped out on the administrative side, this year was a b.

3 entries, but I'll find a way to blow it. Thanks again for running this thing. It's not a light amount of work.

Thanks as always 88...congrats to the qualifiers.

Chorus in on the grats for 88 for running this.

After this year's dismal showing I will re-evaluate my handle as I couldn't SEE shit.

Props to Mgo, very impressive. His average point total is 5.93, which shows you how difficult it is to pick 6+ wins per week.

Thanks 88 for running the game. We exchange words in Cul de Smack but I have always appreciated you doing the BTPCFB pick 'em.

The purpose of this exercise is to demonstrate that sports betting is for suckers. Just play this game for fun and keep your cash.

Generally speaking, that's very good advice. Not sure this particular game though is a great example for making that point. Sharps and professional sports bettors aren't "forced" to pick 10 games. They might only like 2 or 3 lines on a given Saturday. And if they don't like any lines, they can abstain. They also don't have to do any "must pick" action like we have to with Game 1 (a game that I would normally stay the hell away from 99% of the time) . Hell, most weeks, I really only see about 3 or 4 lines that I really feel good about and sometimes fewer than that. And of course they can also hedge and make other plays to recoup losses.

But you're right, the average joe blow should not try to turn sports betting into a side hustle. Chances are that would go very poorly.

Here is the final regular season point total:

Wait a minute. There has got to be some mistake. I don't see Mtool on that sheet. He is the most brilliant mind in football, right?

I know there are some very knowledgeable college football fans here, but you've got to be throwing darts at most of these games, right? Appalachian State v Louisiana Lafayette? C'mon, man. Props to Mgoo. 3 weekly wins is impressive.

I will see you fags next season. I'm prepared to take my lumps.

They can also play money-lines. Much lower risk/lower reward.

It depends how big a zero I am in any given week, but I sometimes watch those teams{/shame]. But it's still just about muh-feels, and can't pinpoint something like "averages 345 passing yards at home/gives up 368 passing yards on the road."

Please do. This game operates on the principle of the-more-the-merrier. Almost everyone made the Bowl Round this season.
