Does your upset pick have to win or just cover? If Little Sisters of the Poor are getting 47 and they lose by 45, is that a winner or they have to win no matter what ?

They've gotta win, or you get zero points, no matter how close they came.

OK, it's time to start the contest. Here are this week's lines (from Danny Sheridan). Only games listed in this post may be chosen, and only the point spreads listed in this post will be used for this contest. If the line changes between now and when you make your pick, or between now and gametime, it doesn't matter; only these numbers will be used.

Note: If a game is postponed due to weather or whatever, I will keep your pick and retroactively award points for this week (using the spread in this post) if your team wins that game later in this season.

Note: make a new post to pick your upset. I will not be looking back above this post to find anything that's been edited into an earlier post.

Please pick your team at the beginning of your post, and identify the team by the name of the college, not the abbreviation (couple of FSU's, USC's, etc. - and although I doubt the western USC will ever be an underdog this year, I want to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding). After you make your choice, feel free to ramble on about it, and call the team the 'Cats or the "Land thieves" or whatever.

Two exceptions - Cryami is acceptable for the Florida version of Miami. And if scUM is ever the underdog, and you choose to pick them, you may identify them as scUM or Meatchicken or MeShitAgain. Not all teams deserve the same level of respect. :biggrin:

For example:

I'll take Podunk State. They will kick ass. BB73's a tyrant, blah, blah. Anybody picking Screw-U is a moron, blah, blah.

Also, if you make a pick for a Thursday or Friday game, and then try to edit your post on Saturday morning to switch your pick to a team playing on Saturday, you will be DQ'd from this contest. I wasn't born yesterday in Bedrock.

Remember, your team has to win outright, not just cover. If they win, you get their line as your points this week, If they lose, you get zero.

This week's choices. Pick 1 and only 1 underdog from the right side (Home teams are in Caps)
