I can't do the math for everyone with every game.. (trying to get some rough totals) i.e. Thanks again for doing this Midwest!
The fumbles/missed FG's/etc this week were heart breaking, but I'll take the way it ended overall =)

Playing it correctly means you've already won.

We have a new leader and the third player to hold the lead dog position this year ..... Romes!!
It was a good week for some (Babs went from 9th to 4th) and not so much for other (steeldco dropped from 5th to 10th). In any case there is a long way to go, haven't even hit the halfway mark yet. And this week the win maximums go up to $2,500.

Only 3 in play tonight. But, while the others may not be in play, they definitely have a rooting interest in the Dolphins.
And just a preemptive note of explanation. While Ayecarumba's selection on both sides of the game would normally not be allowed, there is an exception. I've copied the relevant section of the rules below.
Note - A participant cannot bet on the opposite side of an identical wager type, even if the amount is different. For instance taking the over and the under in the same game is not allowed. In a similar vein, a participant cannot bet ATS for one team and the money line on the opposite team unless the spread is greater than a touchdown. This rule is in place to prevent participants from satisfying the minimum number of bets while at the same time, taking very little risk to their bankroll.

I'm going to be off line for about the next 48 hours. Thus, I'm posting the Sunday/Monday lines/prices early this week. This also means that I won't be posting the Thursday night results and updated bankrolls tomorrow. So, for those playing the game tonight, please adjust your bank based on your results tonight when considering the Sunday and Monday selections.
Also, the Titan/Texan game is officially off the board for this contest. The books haven't posted lines yet, I suspect because of uncertainty about Mariota's status. There was one opening ATS line on Vegas Insider, but even that book took it down. And since I will be out, I made a decision to just remove it from play this week.
Good luck to all!

Great job fumbling twice inside the 10 yard line Falcons... Great job. =/

Once again, the lead has changed hands, Ayecarumba is now once again in front. Honorable mention to miplet, ATLiens, and Johnzimbo for perfect weeks. Beachbumbs had actually climbed over $20k going into Sunday night, before the Packers threw up all over themselves.

"It's good to be the King!"
It looks like the second half is going to be a dog fight right to the end. I had hoped the field would be much thinner by now, but it ain't so. The championship is still very much up for grabs.
I am very interested in miplet's pacing. 40 picks is going to be a challenge with the dwindling number of games remaining.

Yes I did get off to a slow start. I'll probably stick a few minimum bets in to get to 50.

I don't know about that, with 9 weeks left, that's just a tick under 4.5 picks per week to meet the minimum.

11 point dogs win ~15% of the time, so +450 seems far from fair. Any thoughts on why the market would support this number?

431 is a fair line. Too bad the current line is 11.5 for a fair line of 460.

WooBoy, did I have a great day! From last to much healthier no matter what place in 4 weeks. Please excuse the celebration; I thought I was soooo out of this.
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

There is still one more game to score this weekend, but regardless of the outcome, you will be our fourth different leader! Be careful what you wish for, the top spot has been a difficult one to maintain.

NO, no, I'm totally not claiming victory!! (reaching for the holy water or the silver bullet or whatever). Just saying that this game is completely volatile and nobody should quit on it yet.

Congratulations BBB! It is still anyone's game. The only thing I know for sure is that the Falcons are totally out to get me. Nothing to do now but wait for Thursday.

The Falcons have been evil this season. I lost on them at least twice and gave up on them. They should be doing much better than they are.
Love the bear....keeping away from sharp poking sticks. lol What is "Wating", and why do all the best memes have a spelling error?

I'm really sorry you're out, wudged; you were formidable last year. Thanks for the good wishes!
Aye,
Have you recovered from the heart attack yet? The one you had to have had when NE was down 2 with 1:39 left? I was sending SUCH "down, bear" vibes your way! lmao....nice recovery. I don't know if I have the nerve to bet that much on one game. We'll see, I guess.

Hehe, no heart attack, but those shorts are gonna need a serious decontamination...
What a crazy slate of games! Green Bay stunk it up, and Denver came back to Earth hard. I was totally going to sell out on the can't miss GB moneyline.
Congratulations to your Vikings. They did a good job against the Raiders today.

Week 10 results and standings below. Johnzimbo has moved into second place after a perfect week. steeldco also had a perfect week to stay alive!
Speaking of staying alive, we lost the first two participants, wudged and 10DollarBri. Thanks for playing again this year! If I recall, the first person out last year was in week 5, so you both lasted twice as long.
The collective group finished in the black for the 8th time out of 10 weeks and is over $44k above the starting bank.
