Sure hope people don't get discouraged, especially on the spread part. The point swings on the spread part can flip big time. I don't ever bet, so I don't normally concern myself with spreads, but looking at the results, it's clear that the contest could flip easily. Hope so, I have a negative score!

NOT UNDERSTANDIN' THE SPREAD PART.......WHY AH DIDN'T DO GOOD ON IT LAST WEEK.......AWK!

EXPLAIN PLEASE!
LEHIGH +11.5
IDAHO -11.5
1. If you take Lehigh +11.5, you ‘get’ 11.5 points. So…


If Idaho loses or wins by 11 or fewer, you got that one correct.
If Idaho wins by 12 or more, you missed that one.


2. If you take Idaho -11.5, you are ‘giving’ 11.5 points. So…

If Idaho wins by 12 or more you got that one correct.
If Idaho loses or wins by 11 or fewer, you missed that one.


Make sense?

Hope so…FUBeAR can’t do that in ChickenSpeak.


Now, if you’re asking how all that totals up to X number of points in the scoring for the contest, FUBeAR ain’t ciphered that all out just yet.

El Cid prolly gotta answer that one for you. He has a better cipherin’ tool than FUBeAR.

The points are dictated by how much the team you picked against the spread outperforms or underperforms against the spread. So if you picked Idaho -11.5 and they win by 14 you get 2.5 points for that game. If you picked Idaho -11.5 and they lose by 3 you get -14.5 points for that game.

Unsurprisingly, chalk won the day in the FCS playoffs, so the pick'em contest came down to the lower division games. Two people went a perfect 5 for 5 on those games and took down the lead for the week:

I was looking good on that Montana game, until the Griz scored their last touchdown. Fun for my fandom, not as great for these fantasy purposes.

Doubling down on the Bears over Rams spread killed Team FUBeAR, Inc.

FUBeAR was standing in the end zone at Five Star Stadium in Maconga SCREAMING at Mercer’s Players to sling it deep from Victory Formation to cover the spread. But, alas, they didn’t listen.

FUBeAR had a chat with MercerU President post-game about the Team’s failure to support their Fans. He assured compliance with FUBeAR’s wishes going forward and excused himself to go speak with Coach Jacobs about FUBeAR’s complaint.

[RahRahRabbits]

Cripes I gotta be more careful... Certainly did not mean to pick ISUr over UC-Davis outright, clearly evidenced by my correct doubling up of UC-Davis covering. I think I can blame Team FUBeAR, Inc. as well, right?

Big spread winners of the week was doubling the UC-Davis spread and Montana State spread... but Big Sky teams covered in all 4 games, 3 of which were convincingly done, with the 4th being Montana.... no Valley teams did the same. Might as well call off the rest of the playoffs I think.

Congrats to mvfc for nearly the perfect slate of spread picks, only being let down by Incarnate Word... and didn't even hit the biggest double of UCD, and still holds the 1 spot on the week. And congrats to the perfect moneyline pickers on the week, even in all 5 lower division games - POD did in fact know, and Prime certainly used their Power. I'll see myself out....
