Deadline for Picks is 5:00PM

Please check & make sure your pick is included in the summary after the deadline.​



The competition is pretty simple but please check The Rules if you have any questions or aren't sure how to proceed. Also, please note that you must make a pick at least once every three weeks to remain in the competition. There's more in an Announcement about when we will shift to two divisions, etc. You can also send me a Personal Message or e-mail if any questions or problems.

Please use the colon after your moniker ... I use a macro to enter your picks on a spreadsheet and the macro relies on the colon to get it properly entered.

Here are the games and spreads:
Auburn at FLORIDA ST -10.5 ( 7:00 PM EST)
Elon at NC STATE -20 ( 7:00 PM EST)
New Orleans at TROY -13 ( 8:00 PM EST)
Ga Southern at EVANSVILLE -9 ( 8:00 PM EST)
Fla International at DENVER -16 ( 9:00 PM EST)
Cal Davis at FRESNO ST -12.5 ( 10:00 PM EST)
Weber St at UNLV -14 ( 10:00 PM EST)
E Washington at NEVADA -18 ( 10:00 PM EST)​

Home team is in CAPS; "vs" indicates a neutral court. Spreads courtesy of ScoresAndOdds.com

Reminders -- per the earlier announcement:
  • We've split into two divisions: The Steady Selectors (who make picks for 2/3rds of the available dates) and the Laid Back Pickers.
  • If you don't make a pick for 2-3 weeks, your account will be "retired" and you'll need to check with me before participating again. I'll send you a Private Message before retiring your account but you'll just get the one notice
  • New participants are welcome any time through 12/31. After that date, you'll need to send me a private message and we'll talk.
