Mine looks correct. Thanks for the summary.

12/14/2010 10:38:10 AM

Here's how the schedule will work for Bowl weeks:

Since the games are well spread out across the week, a "week" of TWW Pointspread Challenge will go from Thursday-Wednesday to stay on pace with the official weeks of the NFL.

Thurs, Dec 16 - Wed, Dec 22
Thurs, Dec 22 - Wed, Dec 29
***Thurs, Dec 30 - Wed, Jan 5***
^^^Thurs, Jan 6 - Mon, Jan 10 (National Championship)^^^

***Since this week is overloaded with ranked vs. ranked games, and the last week of the NFL season is skewed by top teams resting or not resting their starters, this will be a college-heavy pick week

^^^Will include NFL wildcard matchups

I will create a new post for this week's spreads.

12/14/2010 10:55:54 AM

Saturday, Dec 18
New Mexico Bowl
UTEP vs BYU (-12)

R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl
Ohio vs Troy (-1)

Sunday, Dec 19
Eagles at Giants (-2.5)
Jaguars at Colts (-5.5)
Jets at Steelers (-6.5)

Tuesday, Dec 21
Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl
Louisville (-3.5) vs Southern Miss

Wednesday, Dec 22
MAACO Bowl
Utah vs Boise State (-16.5)

In usual weekly setup:

UTEP vs BYU (-12)
Ohio vs Troy (-1)
Louisville (-3.5) vs Southern Miss
Utah vs Boise State (-16.5)

Eagles at Giants (-2.5)
Jaguars at Colts (-5.5)
Jets at Steelers (-6.5)

Since there is only one other college game this week not listed above, there is no mandatory college wild card pick. You can use NIU vs Fresno if you want, but you don't have to. (But still 3 wild cards total)

12/14/2010 2:49:38 PM

^^^did you give jaybee a win for his navy game?

also, i shouldnt be throwing stones since i am the one that forced the rule change, but are non-common pushes just counted as losses now? that seems kinda beat if we are doing this based on winning percentage.

whatever though, i'm just along for the ride.

12/14/2010 8:36:53 PM

I didn't tally up wins but pushes whether common or not should not shouldn't count as either a win or a loss.

JB however did not place his Navy/Army pick in time and should be a loss. The time constraint has been in place since we started last year.

12/14/2010 10:47:29 PM

^^ No they are not losses I just put them in there so that when I tally up the standings I can double check to make sure everyone has the same amount of games played. The percentages = wins/(wins+losses). So in the case of SchndlrsFist 69/145 = .476

And no win for JB for Navy

[Edited on December 15, 2010 at 7:30 AM. Reason : .]

12/15/2010 7:30:21 AM

^but say schnlder had 2 ties, then he should be 69/143 = 0.483




also, if jb counts navy as an l, think he is 5-4 this week.

12/15/2010 8:35:06 AM

^ yeah but we all have played 155 games. so take out 8 common ties, 155-8=147 games listed in everyone's record including uncommon ties. schnlder has 69 wins 76 losses and 2 ties = 147.
So his percentage comes from 69/(69+76) = 69/145 = .476

I did miss that with JB, so he is 75-70-2 (5-4) .517

12/15/2010 10:54:48 AM

I missed a much better NFL game on the slate, so please be wary and use these spreads instead (since no one has made picks yet):

UTEP vs BYU (-12)
Ohio vs Troy (-1)
Louisville (-3.5) vs Southern Miss
Utah vs Boise State (-16.5)

Eagles at Giants (-2.5)
Jets at Steelers (-6.5)
Saints at Ravens (-2.5)

12/15/2010 12:17:07 PM

i'm arguing for nothing, i didnt notice that ties were still in some people's standings.

i think what confused me was thinking that i had some non-common ties, but that is on me so ill go back and look

12/15/2010 9:58:32 PM

week 2 of the contest (my first week):

NCSU at UCF OVER 51
Cardinals (-4) at Rams PUSH
Colts (-2) at Texans

so yea, i f'd up and was counting 2 early common pushes in my record, but the 3rd one was mine.

rwoody 78-60-1 (5-4) .565 is what i should be i think. everyone else has 147 and there was one common push the first week, so i missed 8 games which should be 139.

in conclusion, i'm dumb and waste my time

Thurs, Dec 30 - Wed, Jan 5

I thought this would end up being a heavy college week, but there are 3 NFL games where both teams could effect their playoff standings and would most likely play starters the whole game.

Rose Bowl (Saturday), TCU (-3) vs Wisconsin
Fiesta Bowl (Saturday), Oklahoma (-17.5) vs UConn
Orange Bowl (Monday), Stanford (-3) vs Virginia Tech
Sugar Bowl (Tuesday), Ohio State (-3.5) vs Arkansas

Buccs vs Saints (-8)
Bears vs Packers (haven't found a reliable spread yet, will update soon)
Rams (-2.5) vs Seahawks

12/28/2010 10:24:32 PM

so i assume we can do all college wildcards if we like?


KSU vs Syracuse (-1)

I am going to remove the Packers/Bears game and instead replace it with SCar/FSU
