2015-$25 COLLEGE GAME OF THE WEEK-TIE BREAKER

[Krichinsky]

I had a thread up with final results, but got timed out. I will try again either
later tonight or tomorrow.

[winnersbyt&b]

thanks guys, and special thanks to the K-man for running the contest. Wish I hadn't started the year 0-4. Oh well there's next year. Happy and healthy new year to everyone.

[Krichinsky]

Final Results for 2015:

1st widestrides, 10-4. Tie break winner with army +22
2nd chrny, 10-4.
3rd winnersbyt&b, 9-5. Went to the 3rd tie breaker with a prediction of 44 total points.

Proud to say that I had the closest total with a 40 point prediction, but that's moot.
I will send this info to Jeff and enjoy your holiday bonus.

Yeah, I had to figure out which way the line(s) were gonna move in order to get a good hedge.

Line now moving to Army so that works out good as I can get Navy -21 or even -20.5 and hope to hit a middle.

[Krichinsky]

Okay. Gotta go put my hedge bet in on Navy -21. That guarantees me $325, with a small chance to win $575 if Navy wins by 21 or 22.

GLTA!

Nicely played widesrides. Especially since you wanted some extra $ beyond the contest.
Would have taken more cajones to flip the scenario, since army wouldn't have played
out as the best hedge pick. (or most likely won't)

Good Luck guys. Its been a fun contest.

Okay. Gotta go put my hedge bet in on Navy -21. That guarantees me $325, with a small chance to win $575 if Navy wins by 21 or 22.

GLTA!

If of any interest the march on starts @ 1:00pm EST on CBS Sports.

[Krichinsky]

For Fun:
Carpet: NAVY -22, under 53, NAVY 38-army 10.
Boone Moone: NAVY -22, under 53, NAVY 38-army 10.
Krichinsky: NAVY -22, under 53, NAVY 31-army 9.

[Krichinsky]

Here we go.
Unless NAVY wins by exactly 22, the 1st and 2nd places will be decided by the point spread.

chrny: NAVY -22, over 53, total points 57.

widestrides: army +22, under 53, total points 50, NAVY 34-army 16.

For 3rd Place:
woodee12: Navy -22, under 53, total points 51, NAVY 38-army 13.

never lose: NAVY-22, over 53, total points 58.

dragon1952: army +22, under 53, total points 50.

winnersbyt&b: army +22, under 53, total points 44, NAVY 31-army 13

Quite simply if army covers, 1st and 2nd place will be decided and the
3rd place winner will be decided by closest to the final score.

[winnersbyt&b]

side- Army +22
o/u - Under 50
Total- 44 Navy 31-13

[widestrides]

Army +22
Under 53
Total Points = 50 (Let's say Navy 34-16)

Navy is the far superior team, but probably will not run it up on Army, so that makes this 22 point spread a little tricky.

GLTA

K-Man. Can you post the emailed picks as soon as possible after Noon, so I can get my hedge bet(s) in. Thanks! And thanks for all your patience and accurate scorekeeping!

[Krichinsky]

NAVY 31
army 9

The line pushes. Read a post yesterday that, besides the Super Bowl, this
was the most bet football game. Not sure if that's a fact, but it probably
is up there in the top 5.

[chrny]

Okay emailing my picks Friday 5PM pac time. But before a few comments--- K-Man excellent job i loved your last comment. Woodee12 same with your's. Now here's mine-- granted this means nothing to some but there are a lot of husbands, wives, sons & daughters that this game takes them away from where they are (Not USA) and gives them something to root for besides bombs. But come on guys this is better than xmas shopping with your better
half unless you are collywobbles. That a guy LOL
