dencyguy Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Less chalk this week as teams started playing more competitive opponents, in addition to some surprisingly close games. I find that the mid-majors are the hard ones to pick early in the season, as they're largely ignored by the national media. How good is TCU really? How about Utah? One rule of thumb: take a look at the opposition. If it's Virginia, take the favorite and start counting your cash. How much less chalk was there this week? In week one, the favorites were 12-5 against the spread in the Yahoo contest (okay, that includes some D-1 vs. 1-AA gimmes that didn't have spreads). In week two, they were 10-11. In our contest, most of us did better than the favorites. Here's what happened: Big Winner of the Week: Big Ben is a Feminine Hygiene Product paced the field this week with an impressive 16 points. Not only did he dominate the field this week, his impressive score brought him into a tie for the overall lead. Not that he's as awesome as the co-leader, but it's something to be proud of. Shameful Dog of the Week: JCarl and Shake vs. Meatwad (which just feels like it needs a euphemism, which I might throw in next week) tied with 9 points. This week's leaderboard: Big Ben is a Feminine Hygiene Product: 16 Dency's Winners: 13 Beanpot: 12 DieHardBrownsFan: 12 Aloysius: 12 Ignorantly-Backsided Caucasian: 12 Timugen: 12 Thaak: 12 MarkO: 11 Solon 16: 11 EasyV: 11 Atenears: 11 Pa Pa Pickem!: 10 Dawg Robiskets: 10 Mr. Freeze: 10 JCarl: 9 Um...Shake...vs...um...Meatwad: 9 And, season-to=date: 1 Dency's Winners 25 1 BIG_BEN_IS_A_FEMININE_HYGIENE_PRODUCT 25 3 SOLON16 23 3 Mark O 23 5 Aloysius 22 5 Pa Pa Pickem!! 22 5 Timugen 22 5 Thaak 22 5 Ignorantly-Backsided Caucasian 22 10 DieHardBrownsFan 21 10 ATENEARS 21 10 Dawg Robiskets 21 10 Mr. Freeze 21 10 Beanpot 21 15 EASYV 20 16 Shake vs. Meatwad 19 17 JCARL 18 18 Irisheyez 11 19 The Hammer 10 20 Juki's Instant Losers 0 20 Pickem Winners 0 20 WVBrownsfan 0 Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
