PPD Standings after 11/23/09 Games

20 wins today with 13 coming from Texas. Art said "easy money" but the line didn't go up ... actually went down by 1/2 a point. A bit odd.
  • Today's Picks: 20 wins, 12 losses and 0 pushes for a 0.625 Won-Loss ratio.
  • YTD Picks: 211 wins, 195 losses and 12 pushes for a 0.52 record
  • Consensus Pick is 13 for Texas (-15.5) for the win.
  • YTD Consensus Picks: 8 wins, 7 losses and 1 pushes for a 0.533 record
  • Duquesne wins by 18 but fails to cover against Binghamton
  • I think Vandy is watching its #24 ESPN ranking fade in the rear view mirror with a 67-58 loss to Cincinnati. The <s>Commodes</s> Commodores were favored by 4. (Just jokin' ATTF)
  • Purdue wins by 1; favored by 2 over Tenn. Nobody picked either team tonight.
  • Juicer takes Fresno State +4.5. They lose but only by 4 so Juicer is juiced.
  • Wisconsin wins by 4 and covers -- but the two who picked Arizona only got 3 points and aren't very happy

Those with lots of time on their hands so that they can make a pick every day:
1 - Jike Spingleton (9-5-0) - 0.643
2 - Gopherholefan (8-6-0) - 0.571
3 - Art Vandelay (7-6-1) - 0.538

6 - kapps014 (6-7-1) - 0.462
7 - Southpaw (3-11-0) - 0.214
​
On Friday, I'm going to cull out those who have made only one pick and haven't picked in the last 7 days. They're always welcome to come back but there's a bias to the overall results at the top and bottom of the rankings when there's only one pick. Later in the season, participants will be split between those with picks in at least 2/3rds of the games versus all others.
