SOWAL NCAA pick'em

[DD]

Note to self: When picking TCU on paper before posting, never fax your picks to someone asking their opinion, especially where that game is concerned only for them to tell you that you will miss that game if you go with TCU. I had circled TCU and I changed my pick to BYU because of that person when my gut told me to go with TCU, and TCU has literally destroyed BYU.

Been there, done that. I know your pain.
Better luck on Saturday!

I know but I let someone talk me out of staying with TCU over BYU before I even posted my picks. I have done horrible on the weeknight games for the past 3 weeks now. 2-4 is not good.

I am happy I got Fla. State correct. 1-1 is better than 0-2 like a few weeks back. I need to make up some ground Saturday and if I have a bad day like this past Saturday I may quit.

Can't post after a game has started. Since you posted at 7:10 and the TCU game started prior to that and they scored, this will be a loss for you.

Since you posted the FSU game pick late and they are losing, I'll give you the FSU pick.

But any posts or edits made after this point in time by anyone will be ignored for the entire weekend per Skunky's original rules.

That is fine, I went ahead and posted them as I did not know when the game started. I was in the middle of making dinner and did this "I have not put in my pick-ems!" The whole family thought I was crazy, well - I am. Then my computer was frozen.....

Sorry Skunky, cancel all of them if need be....

If you say this one more time, you will be banned.

LadyD...here's a lesson learned. I went back to my old way of pick'ems for this week. No insight from football addicted son or lines or any of that stuff, just me. I will be curious to see how I do. Trust your gut and then you have no one to "blame" but yourself.

Did you notice...DD is #1!!!!

Yes, I did. I am trying to get up there but no luck. I am not asking their insight anymore though. I was going to call him today and give him what he gave me last week about Missouri. The I told you they would lose act about BYU. He told me I would miss that game going with TCU. This person is losing money every other week I think to their boss as they bet on four or five games every week.

So I am not changing anything else due to his suggestions. Just so happens he was right on the Oklahoma St./Missouri last week and he thinks that makes him a expert.

Yes, you did. You and Kitty.

That is clear and well understood, but I don't know what the "problem" is. The spread is designed to be a predicted 50/50 by defintion. The 66% is on an actual win/loss basis.

I was just saying that you're comparing apples and oranges if you're saying that Vegas picks winners ATS at 66% and we are picking straight up winners at the same %.

For everyone that picked LSU over SC. I hate to say this but on ESPN after the Hawaii/Boise State game last night they were talking about the game between LSU and SC. and were saying that they felt LSU would have some problems with South Carolina in this game.

I had initially gone with SC and changed it late Thursday back to LSU, as did one other person. Hopefully this won't be the case today. C'mon LSU. Don't let me down today.
