Wynn Football Survivor Contest

Quote: cclub79

Will they provide a truncated list of college games, or let you choose from dozens that play every Saturday? I imagine it's just a few that they'll let you pick, and I wonder if they'll just make them more competitive rather than adding some and then eliminating the ones with the highest spread.

Upon reading the rules to answer your question, I see at Stations you pick against a spread. It mentions that each spread will have a half, so there won't be ties. I just says there will be a sheet. I'd imagine it includes every NFL game, and all the college games one could normally bet on.

WIth the spread in play, it is definitely a different game than the traditional knockout. You now can't stay away from the heavy favorite in the hopes that a large part of the field will be KOed. Still, I would think the ATS game would end much quicker.

Hi Wizard,

I'm wondering if you decided to enter, and if so, how it's going. Did you pick Kansas City over San Diego in week 1? at least 20% of the field must have been eliminated on that one game.

I joined this contest pretty late last week, and the number of entrants was still in the low 400s, although that doesn't account for multiple entries per entrant. There probably wasn't an overlay on the contest, but I don't think the final pool will be much higher than the $100k guarantee. I had Tennessee over Oakland.

No, I didn't enter. I live too far from there to justify the bother of making the trip every week until I'm eliminated. However, I did have a real bet on KC money line :-).
