Ok college football fans, it's almost that time of year again. For those that have not already commented on the other thread that they are in you can do so here. All are welcome to play. Cnest8gr is again posting the picks this year.
Here are the rules for this years pick'em, these are the same as last year.
1. The games for each week's SoWal Pick'em will be posted on or before Monday evenings.
2. The deadline for making your pick for any game is 9 AM Central Time on date of that game. (See #10 below)
3. Anyone who misses the deadline (as defined in #2 above) will forfeit all games not picked for that date.
4. Any changes after a pick is made must appear in a new post, not in an edited prior post, and by 9 AM Central Time for the date of the game for which your pick is changed. Failure to do this will result in your change being invalid.
5. For some games that are of great interest, but in which one team has a lopsided advantage, points may be added to the underdog's score by the person choosing the slate of games each week.
6. Each correct pick earns one point.
7. The winner of the SoWal Pick'em will be the person who has the most points, not the highest percentage of correct picks.
8. Bonus questions may be included later in the season in case a tie-breaker is needed. The points from these questions will not be added to a picker's total points for the season.
9. Leaders for each week, for the regular season, and for the bowl games will be recognized. However, the winner of the SoWal Pick'em will be the person with the most wins for the season, including bowl games.
10. REVISED: Saturday picks are due before the scheduled game time (not kickoff time) of the first Saturday game which is usually 11 a.m. CST/CDT. If your picks are submitted late on Saturday, you will forfeit all games for which the scheduled time is prior to when you submit your picks. For Thursday/Friday night games the picks need to be posted before the scheduled game time (not kickoff time) of the first game which is usually 6 p.m. CST/CDT unless the game time is earlier, in which case they will need to be posted before the earlier start time. Just as on Saturday, you will forfeit all games for which the scheduled time is prior to when you submit your picks.

Just when I thought this weekend's " sure things" were going to bring in the dough, spent the last two days playing Baccarat here in LV, with a friend from California ....Admittedly, he is a hi-roller, and he ends up + $34 LARGE for the weekend ( all baccarat !)
Me? 7 picks College, 4 picks NFL and 5 picks MLB for the two days, and I wind up with all of $142 (Throw in Madison Keys @ The Open, and I'm down $58) Go figure...
Saving grace...we ate at a Michael Mina restaurant one night, and Gordon Ramsey's Steakhouse last night...and he sprung for both -( Hardly put a dent in his wallet ) Oh well, I did manage to sqeeze enough out of Baccarat play to make it a very satisfying weekend...
And so it's time for BAC to hit the pavement first thing tomorrow...amazing how intelligent " sports investors" are first thing Monday am in picking next weekend' games, after they just came off a rough couple of days...First up is the gym, because this is all about a bunch of " hot air"...the hotter , the better- (More later...I'll let you know what I find out.)

Thanks to IRMA,I am delayed getting betting odds. It will probably be tomorrow, but I know all games will be Saturday.
Both houses under siege at the moment.

First, it was TheGym
Then, The guys at the food pantry
Finally, a person I can only identify as Lucky Lou ( under a promise of anonymity....he also writes for CBS SPORTS and ESPN)
This week pretty much like taking candy from a baby ( only question is, am I TheGiver? or TheTaker?)
( some of us will know on the 17th, which just happens to be the most often favorite Roulette #)
Others will " get it" right away...
UCLA ...you gotta' be kidding me...
Notre Dame ( inside tip:Touchdown Jesus making the trip to Beantown...first time in years...)
Duke ( Baylor +13.5, will tank, once again)
UAB ( them Alabama rejects can't be that bad!)
Louisville. ( Lamar wants to saddle up with Archie...and prove HE can make it in the NFL ...400+ total yards, EZ))
Florida ( chomp, chomp,,,)
Purdue. They are for real.
LSU . BIG!
Central Florida ( anybody realize how B.I.G. that school is??)
Kansas State...not just MY-self believing...
South Carolina...pull-eeze...Spurrier being inducted @ halftime! ( at least he's not being indicted, like elsewhere...)
Cincinnati ...Like a good Neighbor, the Bearcats gonna' show up this one!
New Mexico State + 6.5 ( have you seen the size of these guys??. Lots of tacos and burritos...)
Texas Tech-7.5. so many teams visiting TEXAS this weekend! Remember The Alamo!
California ( the hardest game on the board).Go figure...

Oh, and let me just tell you a bit about gambling 101 tournament strategy...
Any tournament is NOT like playing a regular game, no matter what the casino table game...( does not apply to slots)
Secret? ( Ok, Ok I'll tell ya')
Just " follow the leader" , the person with the most wins, most $$, most bankroll...
Wait until they make their move, and then,,.
HA! ( Just how do you factor -in all the " gambling intelligence" /sure-things/never lose strategies littering Las Vegas.?)
Well , just maybe you do.
Or not.
Like I say.." Go ugly, early"

Congratulations to Beach Runner's Season leadership despite a 7-7 week. No double digit wins, but Red Dawg I, Bob Wells, and RNBParts picked 9 for the Week's leadership. Easy Gator win!?!?

Congrats to Red Dawg (woof-woof), Bob Wells, and RNBParts for tying for first this week. Y'all are barking up my tree! I gotta be careful this week. Skunky, sorry you were unable to pick. You should have contacted me and I would have put in some picks for you (like picking every home team unless LSU is the away team). That is, if that's okay with the other players. The same courtesy could extend to other players. What do you think, Lady D and cnestg8r?
