Week 1: Wacky Dog Contest (everyone can enter, even rivals)

- Reply

- Rate Up Rate Down
9 months ago

Here we go folks.
First team listed is the UNDERDOG. Then you have the spread (ie: How many points they are getting). Second team listed is the favorite. HOME teams are CAPITALIZED, and if we had say BYU (+9) LSU, I would include an at (or a vs) to indicate which is the home team.
Rules:
- Pick 1 underdog per week, if that underdog wins (not just cover)...SCORE! Bigger the dog, the more SCORES you get.
- Post your pick using the reply button when I share the spreads.
- Do NOT pick a favorite, you will get laughed at unmercifully
- Streaking! If you get one right, you then have an opportunity for bigger, and badder points. The longer the streak, the more bonus points you get, and the object is to get as many points as humanly possible.
- Brag, please brag. No game is fun without friendly taunting and ribbing.
Scoring:
0 - 3 (2 points)
3.5 - 6.5 (4 points)
7 - 10 (7 points)
10.5 - 15 (13 points)
15.5 - 20 (20 points)
20.5 - 27 (35 points)
27.5 - 33 (45 points)
33.5+ (75 points)
Streaking: 2 consecutive rights = 3 bonus points, 3 consecutive = 5 points, 4 consecutive = 10 points, 5 = 15, 6+ consecutive = (weeks points x 2) + 10
