After an arduous negotiation, we decided on the following games for week 1. Note that a team that is listed with "+##" means that team is spotted ## points.
Each participant from last year is asked to consider inviting a new player to join our merry group.
As in the past highlight your picks in BOLD.
Good Luck!
So. Miss. @ South Carolina
Minnesota @ M. Tennessee
Pittsburgh @ Utah

You forgot to make a pick for the LSU/Ole Miss game. I'll PM you.
Actually, I did have LSU highlighted, but it is on the same line of another game....my bad.

Yahoo, I am 2 for 2 on the games with the point spreads, even with both teams losing. 😀

:lol: Ha Ha, DD, I've been taking risks on here this season, more than usual I would say, some times things did not go so well pick wise, 4 weeks out of 12 I was in the negative. But my Vols held on and won, it sure was not a pretty game for them but they won. Finally got that third TD they should have had in the 3rd quarter. If they can play better next week and beat Kentucky in Knoxville, we will go to a bowl game. But this will be a tougher challenge than the game tonight, Kentucky has lost many close ones this season.

So, Iris continues her lead as #1.:clap:
I changed to LSU Sat morning to be my only loss.:(
Lady D and Beach SiO2 got both points games.:clap:
Next week is probably our last 15 game week. Last year we only had 10 for Championship Week. Then there are about 34 bowl games.
The majority of picks were wrong on 5 games. No one won all of those five.

I'm going to quit listening to my family. My daughter loves NC so I picked them against my better judgment.

I think we're running out of time--and, I think Iris works in Vegas. :lol:

I'd copy her picks:lol: but that won't gain me any ground, but I must confess, I have another pool for cash and I'm not above checking out Iris' and everyone else's picks before I post that one. I have won a week and I'm in 3rd place in that pool.
Iris, no pressure, I"m just kidding.😀:clap:

I've tried that!:lol: And various other tactics. :shock:

Great, finishing 10-5 gained me no ground, I ended up dropping back down 2 places. What gives other than my not doing so well this year 4 of the 12 weeks. And Cnest, I don't see where you missed any unless my eyes are playing tricks on me. Now I am disgruntled with finishing what I consider good and slipping two spots. :(

Don't be disheartened. Picking bowl games is harder, and there are 34 of them, so you'll get a chance to catch up. There will be a regular season winner (which will probably be Iris or cnestg8r unless they totally mess up this upcoming week), a winner for the bowl games, and the overall winner (the sum of regular season wins and bowl game wins). So you still have a chance.:wave:

Hey, I did better this week and still fell a spot. Of course, I might do better if I paid any attention at all to northern teams or west coast teams. :roll:
btw, game time for FSU/UF is 3:30 eastern, which is fortunate since tailgate lots open at 8 a.m. If anybody is sitting in lower level section 14 (or in Fuzz's case, upper level section 30), come by and say hi. Also, my friends at Eastern Lake have a huge tailgate directly behind the baseball stadium. I'll be there for a while too. :cool:

I'm ready for week 13 picks. Best I've done this year is 11 wins on week 4 I believe, wish I could have gotten that many correct every week. :sleeping:

Any chance we can put Washington vs Cal in the Pick'em this week?

I'll look at this and appreciate the input. Any other suggestions I will consider up until about 7 pm EST. It is likely that we will have more than 15 games, and I can tell you they look very tough to me.:shock:
Happy Thanksgiving to all!
