On we go to Week 4 of the challenge. Finally I was able to pluck a full slate of straight up games this week. So there are no FBS games and no "will this team win by "x" amount of points" props.

Here are the week 4 picks: https://forms.gle/24vRqYrVeAZ5AkDj8 (https://forms.gle/24vRqYrVeAZ5AkDj8)

Agree! Even with 3 weeks of data (for most teams), this may have been the toughest week yet.

In the desire to get a full slate of as close to toss-up games (29 FCS ones), this will definitely happen from time to time, especially with teams either still playing FBS games or on bye this week. When you involve 58 FCS teams, you're bound to get a few crappers. In hindsight, I probably would switch out a game like Robert Morris vs. Howard with Holy Cross/Monmouth, but I always try to pick as many games as possible where there isn't one obvious choice most people are going to take.

I'm gonna pull a Kalm and join in late since he's backing SFA as well on the podcast.

Please do! I'll put together a side-contest standings for FCS Wedge fans who wanted to wait until conference play got into full force before joining the contest!

It's just like polls, gotta wait a few weeks to get a true idea of what's what....

Also it could be that I forgot to do it the previous weeks...

Exactly. Yeah some teams that are high right now might look down their noses at some of these, but they are all FCS teams. Makes you dig a little and you get some education. As a result, I've looked at every box score of every game played by FCS teams so far.

Just a note for MTfan4life, I kind of liked the spread picks when you don't have enough to fill it out. Should not be a problem any more, but they were fun to try and cipher.

Good to know! xthumbsupx There were definitely a couple games this week that could have gone with a "Will this team win by 10 or not" prop instead of being straight up.

By the way, still one more day to make picks this week! I think there's about 7 full-season'ers still left to join.

Every single one of the previous multi-week pickers returned this week! Let's go!! The only buffoon who hasn't joined is the bozo Kalm. That's twice now he has opted in without actually doing so! Fool me once strike one, but fool me twice...Strike three. xsmhx

The day was a journey for me. I correctly nailed 18 of the first 20 games, including getting Martin, NoCo, and EKU correct! I collapsed after that, though, missing 9 of the final 10 games. xsmhx The bonuses were well rewarded this week with plenty of people correctly picking Dayton to score a lot of points on the joke experiment taking place at Presbyterian so far. Then there were 3 surprising shutouts, but a few people correctly picked Lamar.

I can't seem to. What got me mad this week was that I changed three of the picks I got wrong at the last minute. Duh! Always go with your first inkling! I just second guessed myself.

I'm so embarrassed of myself for not taking the obvious choice of Dayton to score the most points. xembarrassedxxbangx
