You have to like that, the big joke on Bills radio today is every Ravens/Steelers game ever played has had the exact same score. 16 - 15

I am confused.
This was the proposal for Biggie's 3BB Triple Play Lock of the Year...
Biggie wrote:And a spicy suggestion-each player gets to designate 1 game (for the whole year) as their 3BB Triple Play Lock of the Year. If they get it right, it counts for 3-0. Lose, 0-3. Push, 0-1.
I was under the assumption that when a player uses his 3BB Triple Play Lock of the Year, it is the
only game he is picking that week.
Hence, he could go 0-3 or 3-0, depending on how that pick goes.
But Biggie has made 3 picks this week.
So, he could go 0-5 or 5-0.
Is this what we wanted from the 3BB Triple Play Lock of the Year?
Are we cool with this?

Yes, I meant that you could go 5-0 that week. One of your picks is tripled. Didn’t realize that was confusing.

Btw, SM goofed on this line.
The over/under SM read was 38.5, but he goofed and typed 48.5
Brain fart.
Shit happens when you are doing all of the tabulations and setting the weekly lines.
So, Biggie has GREAT value with this pick.
It
should pay off for him.
We'll see...

If the line is different from "everywhere you look," then use that to your advantage. Sometimes mistakes are made as well. Use those to your advantage. Or whine and cry.

If I had noticed earlier that SM posted a line that was 10 pts off, I would have let him know.
I I didn't notice the error until after someone (Biggie) had already bet on the line SM posted.
Biggie bet on the line that was posted.
So it is.

I don’t get the sense that Screwy is wild about people second-guessing his methods.

Yeah, if you had questioned SM's line, he might have told you to hit the bricks.
Or sentenced you to confinement in kcdave's Weekend Rolll Call threads for the rest of the season.
Well, it's not like Biggie is gaining some sort of unfair advantage by betting the line SM posted.
Anyone can make that over/under one of their picks if they want to.
They can also make it their "Lock of the Year" pick if they want to.
Now watch BAL put up 70 on PIT this Sunday!

Fukken pumped for the Niners vs Cowgirls. Two top teams with a whole lot of history. This could be epoch. And we won’t have to cut to Tyler Swift every five minutes.
Fuck Dallas BTW.

Btw, HPG's CHI/WAS pick should not be scored as a loss for him.
He did not get that pick IN on time, so it should be scored as NO PICK.

Damn, pops, you’re too easy. I think, as punishment and a preemptive measure, he should have to forfeit and take losses on all thee of this week’s picks.
But that’s just me.

No, I do think it was the correct (only) ruling. I wasn't being sarcastic.
