2022 Big Ones Contest

Realize, too, that the winner at the end of the season is the one with the MOST correct picks, not necessarily the highest percentage right. So, skipping a game and not picking it just keeps you from having a chance at one more win.

I won with 190 Picks, I think don't think I missed a game, 151 correct, 39 incorrect, 79.47%.

I noticed some skipping games getting a better % and placement. 

I'm going to try my best, it's tough! We have some great pickers here!

In the end, a game skipped is the same as a loss. I'll try to find a way to better display that.

Picks for Week Two are now posted. Toughest week for me to pick the games to be listed. Lots of 1-0 teams. Normally I've used the previous year's records but that added a lot of 0-1 vs 1-0 teams. So, I just picked what I hope are the best matchups. Each week it gets easier because the win percentages are more reliable..

Thanks.   I was wondering why Peabody @ Westview wasn't listed.

Tough first week.  

Breakdown:  14-10 overall. 

Dawg picks:  0-1 (Summit)

Thursday and Sat games:   1-4

Games decided <8:    0-3

Placement: 79

Analysis:  Not enough luck.  Could have flipped a coin and done as well.  Now got ground to make up. 

This week 2 dawgs.

I took a beating last week! I've got 3 dawgs this week.

One game to pick today by 6PM CDT.

2nd week.

Breakdown:

18-4 wk

Dawgs 1-1 (Baylor-Franklin Co)

Thursday 3-0

Games decided <8 = 4-1

Placement : 32  (+47)

Games back: 4  (+1)

Analysis:  Had a better week.  Moved up several spots and gained 1 on the leader. 

Only one dawg this week.  One is a 50 center.  A couple others I could have flipped a coin on and felt just as good about those picks.

Good Luck

3rd week results

Week: 11-4

Thursday & Saturday: 2-1

Dawgs: 0-1 (CAK)       50%: 1-0 (Germantown)

Games <8:   2-1

Placement: 30 (+2)

Games back: 5  (-1)

Analysis:  Not a bad week but just not good enough.  Went out on a limb with CAK and the limb snapped.  I climbed 2 spots overall but fell back another game to the leader.

This week I've got 3 dawgs.

Good Luck.

 

@CoachT,   any specific reason as to why the McMinn Co @ Bradley Central game, that has been rescheduled for tonight, was removed from the Big Ones contest?

I was just coming here to post this: any games moved up after the contest begins will be removed from the contest. This has caused problems too many times over the years, especially for members who like to wait until Friday to pick Friday's games.
