We are picking the line, correct?
Not really, You pick the underdog. If that underdog wins you get the line. So if Pawtuckett State is favored by 7 over WhatsamataU, you pick WhatsamataU and they win by 1, you get 7 points.

This contest is really closed for new entries since the deadline for entries is the kickoff of the first game, but I can verify the 3 picks since then weren't changing from losing SUPs so may manually enter them. I may try to figure out some way to allow later posts but it is pretty difficult since the new format doesn't let me check when a post was edited as opposed to originally posted. In general, get your pick in before the kickoff of the first game listed to make sure it counts.

It's not really fair, especially in the early weeks with games all weekend, to wait until the one game on Sunday night to make a pick. Hell you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right (and some points).

It's just for fun.

You all are killing me... Next week, any pick past the first kick off doesn't count, period. I unfortunately was watching this week so I can vouch for the picks after the official deadline of the first kick off. Since I am doing that, I am also giving crosbycatfan3745 Southern Miss instead of his real pick. Please don't make me get officious. Get your picks in.

Sorry Old_Red, I realized the rules stated picks had to be in before the first game kickoff, but decided to post my pick as a "just incase". I greatly appreciate you allowing the picks to stand and will make sure I get my picks in on time. I really enjoy playing the game and appreciate you continuing it all these years!

Kudos to those who had Texas St and Army. I was going to pee down my leg if someone picked S Bama.
