I appreciate the good sportsmanship, deuce. But you are back in the lead thanks to Matt Corral going down last night and ruining my perfect New Year's Day run. We'll see what these last two games have in the cards. May the best picker win.
Corral was hideous before he faked that injury. Ole Miss would have lost with or without him.

Ref had to carry the ball bag for making that one holding call against Bama. Big Mistake.

Let's Go Corndogs!

Okay, one final game and it's now open. There are ten teams that have locked up the ten money spots (the top 5 is also locked up), with one outside team (ultragator) with a chance to pull into a tie for tenth and earn a few bucks. Ties in the final money spots will not be broken, they will have the money for the slots combined and then split equally.....

....except for the top spot. @deuce is holding a 1-game lead on @Egor's Assistant. I have set up two tiebreaker options for only those two teams - the rest of you don't have to bother to make the tiebreakers. Egor's only chance is to have deuce pick the opposite team as him, and then for his team to be correct and then to win the tiebreakers.

Good luck, suckers.

Current rankings:

1. 136 / @deuce / Best Case 1st, Worst Case 2nd
2. 135 / @Egor's Assistant / Best Case 1st, Worst Case 2nd
3. 132 / @Gator by the Sea / Best Case 3rd, Worst Case tied for 3rd
4. 131 / @dphgator96 / Best Case tied for 3rd, Worst Case tied for 4th
5. 130 / @Frozen Gator / Best Case tied for 4th, Worst Case 5th
6. 128 / @GatorBart / Best Case 6th, Worst Case tied for 6th
7. 128 / @NVGator / Best Case 6th, Worst Case tied for 6th
8. 128 / @Thought Criminal / Best Case 6th, Worst Case tied for 6th
9. 125 / @FlyingGator / Best Case 9th, Worst Case Tied for 10th
10. 125 / @RiverRat / Best Case 9th, Worst Case Tied for 10th
11. 124 / @ultragator / Best Case tied for 10th, Worst Case OUT

Final payout numbers are as follows:

1. $326
2. $72
3. $55
4. $46
5. $39
6. $29
7. $26

It's been a lot of fun. I was making a run at the number two spot for a while unitl a couple of teams choked badly (Pitt, ND). But 3rd is in the money, so I can't complain.

As a past Champ and current loser with a capital L, thank you Ox for the Pick-Em. It is another asinine reason to drop by the Chatter. I also want to remind everyone that it is tradition that the winners pay tribute. If you forget you might get a visit.

@Ox Is there a reason why the spread for the Championship game is reversed from the Vegas line. I thought the dirty dogs were favored, not the communist red tide.

Ox makes his own lines. RE: LSU vs KState - Ox was giving KSt and 6.5 points, but they were favored at game time by 7. You would have been silly to take LSU in that game. I think he does it because he knows many will choose known SEC teams over teams that are evenly matched or maybe even a little better than the SEC team. He does it with almost every Gator game.

He posts the initial lines as printed early on in the week, then doesn't update the lines even if there is a major swing. The LSU/K-State line was egregious. Nearly a 14pt swing. Started off with LSU favored by 6.5 then ended up with K-State favored by 8 when it was discovered that LSU was missing half the team including all their QB's. That game was easy money if you were betting in Vegas. Still got to wonder if current listing was by mistake or just Ox's take on the rematch.
