bhambruiser Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Yes that's right, the game everyone loves to ignore is back for the second week- Who Covers....as in the Spread in some major college football games. Since I was the only one competing last week I won with a 6-4 record. So to make this game a bit more competitive let's get some more people to play- To obsolve your fears- There is NO MONEY involved, this does not constitute gambling- it is for FUN...so let's have some shall we?Just for explainations sake -Michigan State (-5) @ PurdueWhat this means is the Michigan State is a 5 point favorite, so if you pick Michigan State to cover the spread they must win by 5 or more points. If you pick Purdue they must a) win or b ) lose by less than five points.Any Questions?Here are the games and the favorites are in bold:Michigan State (-5) @ PurdueSouth Florida @ Rutgers (-3.5)Minnesota (-12.5) @ IndianaVanderbilt @ Florida (-19)Wake Forest @ Georgia Tech (-8.5)Tennessee @ Notre Dame (-9)Miami @ Virginia Tech (-6.5)Wisconsin @ Penn State (-11.5)Illinois @ Ohio State (-33.5)Texas (-28) @ BaylorOk so you get 3 home dogs....the rest are faves...so get to picking:Standings:1. bhambruiser............6-4forgot to make my picks:Michigan StateRutgersMinnesotaVanderbiltWake ForestTennesseeMiamiWisconsinOhio StateBaylor Millican StudiosMillican Studios Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhambruiser Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Michigan StateRutgersIndianaVandyGeorgia TechTennesseeMiamiWisconsinIllinoisBaylorWhat do you mean by Homedogs? home teams who are underdogs- sorry...i figure those are always the games that people will pick the home teams in to cover because generally speaking home teams have more of a chance of covering the spread. thanks for playing...at least i will have one more person to compete with :-) Millican StudiosMillican Studios Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VandyDelphia Mike Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Okay, I'll play, and even add some parenthetical commentary ...Michigan State -5 (Purdue is playing out the string)Rutgers -3½ (not enough respect for the boys from Piscataway)Indiana +12½ (Hoosiers are garbage, but Minny won't cover)Vanderbilt +19 (I know everyone's shocked by that pick)Georgia Tech -8½ (because Vandy beat Wake)Tennessee +9 (people may be equally shocked by this pick)Virginia Tech -6½ (this will be an annoying loser if Tech wins this one by 6 in OT)Wisconsin +11½ (PSU wins, 'sconsin covers)Ohio State -33½ (OSU could cover this one by the half)Texas -28 (must run up the score to stay top 2 in BCS) NCAA Baseball Champions | 2014, 2019 facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
