BassNBrew Playoff Pick 'Em Contest (1 Viewer)

Green Bay now favored by 9.5 - 10 pts with Ponder likely to be inactive. I wonder how many people picking Minnesota are wishing they could change...

 
109 entires.

53 selected Cinny and are eliminated.

56 selected Houston and advance.

 
Too late to enter,but will post picks anyhow. Fortunate to have a lifetime subscription, so prize is mute.

Just tried to set picks to BOLD Wouldn't think that required a new post but whatever.I'll play on in the "Fun" column anyways.

Dude, you got Bronged. There was no bolding requirement. Sorry I had to DQ, but with some cash at stake I had to be fair to the others. Will track your "for fun" entry. Good job on getting all 4 right.

Seriously? Only 9% of people had the four favorites advancing? :confused:
If the spreads had been correct to get even action, only 6.25% should have advanced. FBGs did 50% better.
The spreads were correct based on who Vegas thought would win the games.All 4 favorites won their games...I would have expected like half of FBG's to advance...not 9%.

You do realize how point spreads work, right? The favorite can win the game by less than the spread and you still lose the bet.If you expected 50% to survive picking all 4 games, that is greater than an 84% chance per game. If you think you can pick NFL spreads at greater than an 84% clip you should quit your job and move to Vegas.

We can shave points to improve our winnings though. I'm taking HOU over NE straight up. That should cover 4 losses and forgetting to use a bold font.
