Miplet; you and I went exactly opposite all 8 bets. Want rrvenge? Better record, this round only, tie pushes?

If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Mike has selected every underdog and picked the Under each time. And of course, so far every favorite has covered, and four of the six games have gone over. Hence Mike's current record of 2-10.

Twenty five smackers, and a snarky breakdown of your performance by me similar to what PlayYourCardsWrong got for his, 'You Suck,' prize.

You're welcome.

During this week I'm tempted to change the program so that the secondary sort (after total) will be to sort the list randomly, instead of alphabetically.

I will always use that that day's random number from randomnumberoftheday.com as my seed value.

This way everyone with the same score will have the same, equal opportunity to be "higher" on the list.

That's correct.

Wizard,

I have no idea, but he didn't open the reminder PM and I have nothing from him. I do notice he went Underdog/Under for every single pick the last two weeks, so perhaps we can just give him that? I'm not sure. Either way, he never asked for a Default Strategy specifically, but I'm sure that's what it would be. I seriously doubt if he is interested in $25 for last place, and he is one of only a few that have little to no chance of winning the top prize, so perhaps he just didn't pick.

Miplet,

It doesn't appear that Miplet requested a default strategy by PM or in this thread.

OG,

OdiousGambit mentioned last week that he probably couldn't get Picks in via the traditional method and asked if he could text them to me. I said that's not a problem, but received no text.

Hi Mission - Can the 10 Superbowl prop predictions be posted earlier than the lines? I think everyone would appreciate the extra time to crunch some numbers, and check their "Magic 8-Balls".

I would do that, but the problem that I expect to happen is that I will get a bunch of unnecessary PM's to answer the questions before the Lines come out whereas I want the Picks and the questions to be in the same PM.

Greetings!

The Super Bowl Line is as follows:

Patriots -3 @ Falcons +3 O/U 59

Here are the ten questions for this year, remember, these questions are worth points so MUST be answered. Any failure to answer these questions will result in DISQUALIFICATION from the, 'You Suck,' prize. These are all yes/no questions.

1.) Will an equal or lesser number of points be scored in the third quarter as in the first quarter?

2.) Will an equal or lesser number of points be scored in the second quarter as in the fourth quarter?

3.) Will the team that calls the toss be correct?

4.) Will the Patriots score first by way of Touchdown (either defense, offense or ST) or Field Goal? (Falcons scoring first OR Patriots scoring on a Safety would be a, 'No,' for this question)

5.) Will Tom Brady throw for at least one more yard than Matt Ryan?

6.) Will Tom Brady run a QB sneak at least once this game on 2nd&1, 2nd&2, 3rd&1, 3rd&2, 4th&1 or 4th&2?

7.) If we multiply the points scored in the fourth quarter by three and then subtract two, will that result be MORE points than was scored in the first three quarters combined?

8.) Will at least one two-point conversion be attempted in this game?

9.) If overtime DOES NOT count, will 33 or more points be scored in the second half?

10.) Will there be a missed Field Goal or PAT in this game?

Q7 is yes. 55 to 37.
Q9 is no, at 32 pts.

I have not done all the math but by picking the Falcons and the under I think I am a strong contender for the "you suck" Prize!

Hopefully some people took the good advice offered here and faded my picks!

I guess I might've gotten six props right so who knows maybe I didn't "win"

Oh the humanity... My picks held up like the Falcon's D. I even missed the coin flip.

Was there a qualifying QB sneak for #6?

I think I got 7. That's one (#6) I missed, but I also don't know whether there was a QB sneak. Brady did have that run for 15 yards but it might have been a blown play rather than a planned sneak? Or does it have to be planned?
