2019 AGS Pick'em Week 6

[MTfan4life]

For the first time ever, there are 30 games to pick from! So if there was ever a week to miss, this is NOT the one! This is your chance to make a move in the standings! There are some fun ones to pick from, the dreaded "who cares games," and the nearly guaranteed to be "as coin flip as possible" lower division game of the week.

Here is the link for the picks for week 6: https://forms.gle/MQK4mJToUqLwkUCu6




As I've done in the past, here is the top 5 in the season standings:

Make sure to pay attention to said link ^^^ as that is where this week's results will be updated from as well! So if you're watching games on Saturday, you might be able to follow along. (Big disclaimer, though, as I might be playing in a disc golf tournament all day.)

Some very...interesting...games this week

[MSUBobcat]

Dang... after stinking it up last week, I fell out of the top 5?! Bigly sad...

Which team will score the most points in the second half? *

Central Arkansas

I thought this was a given....xlolx

A given? I shouldn't tip my hand as to what I think the bonus question answer may be, but MSU's ground and pound strategy yields a ton of 2nd half points. We average 22/game in the 2nd half for the first 5 games, while UCA is only 17.75/game over their first 4. If you take away the stinker @ TT to start the year and we're averaging 26.75/game against FCS teams. Cal Poly has the 10th rush defense in the Big Sky, already allowing nearly 200 ypg.

Let's take away UCA's stinker Hawaii game and they are closer to 22 points in a second half. I'll go with my Bears recent history. But honestly I hope I'm wrong. I hope we score early and often against every team we play. xlolx

This week I used the information given to me by Carnac the Magnificent on some of those.

[MSUBobcat]

In. I thought as the season progressed and we had more current data points, this would get easier. Maybe I should go back to basing my picks more on last year's results....

Still waiting on picks from these fooligans! This is the one week you don't want to miss, as there are more picks this week than you'll probably see for the rest of the season!

Very few people nailed the bonus questions. I included four instead of the top 3 on the most 2nd half points questions. Missouri State had 30 points, but a lot were in overtime. So in case you wanted to debate that as not counting, I included Morehead State. Although, to be fair, nobody picked either team anyways.

After dragging weight for the first 5 weeks, MTfan4life (me) ran away with this week's scores. Suspicious, I know, xlolx. Along with me, Gangtackle11 nailed both of the two point bonus questions. I had North Alabama for most 2nd half pts and Abilene for closest loser and gangtackle11 had Montana and Abilene. A few people picked Montana, but otherwise there were very few points gained off the bonus across the board.

Here's the link to all of this week's picks and the week-by-week scores:

I'm still in the process of updating the full standings. That will probably go up tomorrow at some point. (Busy disc golf tournament weekend in the rain forest that Fargo has become.)

[MSUBobcat]

Perhaps I'm forgetting something from an earlier week. Is there more than one correct answer for the bonus questions other than "ties"?

I've been doing top 3 answers all season. I originally had that included in the question (ie, Name one of the 3 highest scoring teams this week), but the wording was confusing for some.

[McNeese75]

Gangtackle11, let me know when you are going to Vegas :D

MTfan, if it were up to me, I would throw the bonus questions overboard into the Caribbean Sea.......

Interesting. I thought in week 1 it was fairly clear with "one of the 3" and less obvious that "which team" actually means 3 teams, because of... well... English and such. Thanks for clarifying.

And yet it simply does not matter for me as I have yet to get a bonus question in 6 weeks. xrotatehx I am going to go to the dart method this week.
