Stocker323.............12-3.......................$ 25 Spread Picks : .................SoxFan#1..............9-6...42 pts...........$ 25 MNF Total Points :..............Sizzlin22................49 pts..................$ 25 Congratulations to all ! Prizes have been sent via USPS Priorty Mail ( you should receive in 2-3 days ).

This happens to people that pick 13 pts.

Sounds right ( I think its actually 21.5 ).

You're correct. Edit and changes have been made. Thanks again !

You're partially correct. When calulating the win/ loss record, I add up the loses and subtract from 15. This technique was applied to all entries. Due to a tie ( Dallas/KC ) there were only 14 games. Thus the wins for all entrants were overstated by one. I noticed this after I posted, but was toolazy to edit, since it had no effect on the standings. I will correct that. Thanks.

Going into Monday Night Football, there is one clear winner. Stocker323 has defended his crown with a record of 12-3 in the Straight Category. In the Spread Category, One Red Seat leads with a record of 9-5 and has declined not to take a prize. Stocker323, and SoxFan#1 are tied for second place with a record of 8-6. Sizzlin22 ( 7-7 ) has picked New Orleans. While Stocker323 and SoxFan#1 have chosen Atlanta. If Atlanta wins by more 10, Stocker323 and SoxFan#1will win this category. If not then there will be a tie. The tie breaker is the closest to the Monday Night total points scored. If New Orleans wins or loses by less than 10, then Sizzlin22 will make it a three way tie ( same rules apply ). Straight Picks :.............

It was a little sarcastic, he was supposed to put in some picks. As they say, you can't play basketball with no balls. :harhar: :

I just noticed, Yeszir hasn't lost a game today.... what a stud !

Like to see the Pats finally moving, but Brady limping isn't good.

Okay enrties close at 12:50.

Stocker323, why not try the next level and pick against the spread ?

No MNF Points pick ?

38 is a keeper. Don't woory about it, this week just seems to be going that way.

See Red you MNF points of 45, has already been taken by Manny Goes Boom. Pick again.

OK, I must be getting paraniod. Fourteen hrs of no power has its effects.

Sox Fan#1 , you've already put in you picks, one in each of three categories.

Entries close at 12 noon EST 12/11/05 which is tommorrow. We are short of the 8 entrants required.

Soxfan#1, sorry you're ok. After looking at two out of three incorrect, I reverted back to a print out from the day before because I got seriously tired of trying to check each number of the spread. Sorry man carry on and best of luck.

You're still eligable, just use the right odds. I don't uderstand why you're tottally eliminating your spread picks ?

Thanks See Red. For some reason, this week it seems you guys want to make-up your own spreads. You're picking against the spread. The spread is a means of establishing a way to even up the differnial between a favorite and an underdog ( basically for wagering ). Obviously, no one would pick 16 games and take the underdog and expect to win. To give you an example : Carolina is favored by 5.5 poits over Tampa Bay, this means if you chose Carolina, they must win by more tahn 5.5 points for you to win your pick. If, however, you picked Tampa Bay they must either win or lose by less 5.5 points. As of right now there are no legimate picks in the " spread category " . The "offical" spreaed is listed in my original post and is to be used as a template. The official Spread is : Week 14 with Spreads : Date & Time_ Favorite____ Spread___ Underdog 12/11 1:00 ET At Carolina........... -5............Tampa Bay 12/11 1:00 ET New England........ -3............At Buffalo 12/11 1:00 ET At Minnesota....... -6.5..........St. Louis 12/11 1:00 ET At Pittsburgh..........5.5..........Chicago 12/11 1:00 ET Oakland................-3...........

You're spread picks are disallowed. You can't make-up your own spreads !! You have to pick against the spread that is stated. Either give the points ( taking the favorite ) or take the points ( choosing the underdog )..

Okay sports fans, in an effort to make it simple, there are three prizes. The first is for "Straight Picks" this for just picking the winner of the game regardless of the spread. The second is picking against the spread this would be in the "Spread" category. The third is the closest to Monday Night Football (MNF ) total score ( this the total combined points for both teams +/- . This means you can be over or under the actual score, its the closest deviation ). The closest for MNF is also the tie breaker for the first two categories. You can make up to three submissions : one for Straight, one for Spread, and one for total pts for MNF. You can make a pick for one, two or more, and also just pick for fun, just for recognition, its your choice. I will place a template for you to copy amd paste below. You must have 10 posts to win a prize, you can't use the same number for MNF number as someone else, duplicates will revert back top the first post.There must be 8 or more contestents. The prizes : Straight Pick ( no spread ) ................... $ 25 Spread Pick ( with spread )................... $ 25 Total Points Scored on MNF................... $ 25 If you don't want a prize & just want to have fun, please indicate so. All decisions for eligabilty, ties and awards will be decided by me. If you want a prize, when I PM you to notify you that you won, you must PM me back within 24 hrs with your name & address, so that I may send you your prize. Good luck everyone ! I'll put my picks in latter, here's the templates : Total Points for Monday Night Football : ______ Week 14 with Spreads : Date & Time_ Favorite____ Spread___ Underdog 12/11 1:00 ET At Carolina........... -5............Tampa Bay 12/11 1:00 ET New England........ -3............At Buffalo 12/11 1:00 ET At Minnesota....... -6.5..........St. Louis 12/11 1:00 ET At Pittsburgh..........5.5..........Chicago 12/11 1:00 ET Oakland................-3...........
