A perfect 8 for 8 and in 7th place that's hard to do.......but it's early yet and Cal has all of his big points available, I still have 9 of 10. Just getting interesting!! It sure looks pretty - nine wins in a row. 1 through 9 points. LOL The upsets ya pick wrong with big points is what crashes you, though. Bowl Mania is the only way I pay attention to any bowl games at all - except for Ohio State, maybe the National Championship, depending on the match-up.

I think the real upsets are about to start soon......and this is only my second year ever with con points but I think I'm getting the feel of it. I was always a pointspread guy, W/L is so easy......right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted December 21, 2018 Report Share Posted December 21, 2018 In the 4 pm game I picked BYU and 31 but might be better off if they lose. I can live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Cal now a perfect 12 for 12 amazing......and a big payday if you bet a 12 teamer. (but this was w/l and not spread, still a nice run) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I like 11 wins, no losses so far. I'd brag about it, but it's too easy to get your rear kicked eventually. LOL My big upset pick with Louisiana Tech over Hawaii may be a big mistake, 75% pick Hawaii. We'll see how it goes. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 dammit dammit dammit. I had picked Wake Forest as a huge upset. so, what do I do? I get antsy, started thinking that only 15% picked Wake Forest, so I changed it to Memphis. DAMMIT. LOL LOL. Lost my first game. LOL ! 12-1, still in sixth place. lol. dammit.

mjp28 Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Well it looks like Memphis, Buffalo and my Rainbow Warriors screwed ALMOST everybody fairly equally so with 15 games in and the big 26 games left it is getting tighter. The big thing now is points still available, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjp28 Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 Going into the Thursday 12/27 games things have sure tightened up.......and I got hosed by Cal in a wierd OT game with 9 INTs and only 2 TDs. But a lot of con points still on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Note to self: NEVER pick Vanderbuilt again, and West Virginia? three or four players wouldn't play? as in, the QB? two wr's?

Today's the big day...lots of points out there for guys behind me. So far so good on my big-confidence points games.

calfoxwc Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 I think next year I am going to flip a coin on every game. GEORGIA??? I wonder how much of it relates to star players not playing to get ready for the draft. that, and if they partied before they played the game. Georgia. what the... dammit. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob806 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Cal, Georgia was full of themselves. I had a feeling (a 5 point feeling lol) that they'd lose. They believed they belonged in the CFB playoff with 2 losses. So did Paul Finebaum, Todd Blackledge, Tim Brando....you know, the SEC rah rah guys... Well, the best 3 teams they played all season kicked their @$$. Go away Bulldogs, just go away. You got totally stomped by a 4 loss Texas team.

mjp28 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 Well coming down to the last game and nothing is decided yet. Mathematically anyone in the top 4 can still win this thing, the best #5 can do is 2nd place, so any regrets on a game or two missed out on now? It's been fun!
