Week 14 Review

Damn you college football...it really feels like we just got started and now you're gone again for another 9 months. I know we have the Bowl Games, and they're fun, but it could be better. Anyway, congrats again to Mark Heinert who won the $100 this week at 10-5.

46.3% for the week, another tough one. Lots of unpredictable games this week, in my opinion. We hit 44% in the final week of NCAA football and 48% in NFL.

NCAA we hit 51% for the year (1 game left this week, but it shouldn't swing the number too much). Also, MS #'s are skewing this since he only played 6 of the 14 weeks...I'll remove those later and get an actual final number for us. No prize for NCAA champion MR, but I think that's something we'll add next season.

47.9% going into the stretch run of NFL games. Once again, no prize for the best NFL record, but we will change that next year if we have the numbers I'm expecting.
 
 
So what's next. Well, we have 4 weeks remaining in the regular season and we'll only be picking 10 games per week at this point. There is one NCAA game this week (Army-Navy) which you can pick if you want, but do not have to. So it becomes an NFL challenge at this point.
 
We will also be starting half 2 of the Football Challenge, which is the post-season. This is a little different than the regular season because we will all pick all the games. Bowl games will be sent out as soon as I have lines on all of them and I will need your picks on each game turned in before next weekend (DEC 17th) when the bowls begin. Each bowl game is valued at 1, 2, or 3 points based on level and there are 50 total points available. The BOWL Champ will get $100.
 
The other half is the NFL playoffs, which are also worth 50 points. There are 11 post-season games, each round the value of games increases and each player will pick all games. We also have 10 prop bets that are used in the Super Bowl to provide some extra emphasis on that game.
 
You bowl total (50 pts) is added to your NFL Playoff total (50 pts) for your total post-season score. The most points wins $250.
 
Simple, right? I'll send out the rules again with the games, but just wanted to get you all thinking about what is coming. We still have 4 weeks and $200 to give away during the rest of the regular season plus the overall prizes.
 
Week 15 lines coming out today.
 
Good Luck.
