2023 Football Big Ones Contest Has Ended

[CoachT]

Still working on this week's games. I'll post them ASAP.

Week 1 results:

Thursday  1-2

Friday  18-3

Overall 19-5

10th place

My Dawgs went 1-2

Games decided by <8 :  5-3

Most embarrassing pick : JPIII

Analysis:   Like pujo said,  Week 1 is a crap shoot.   After a 1-2 start and appearing to have fallen off the face of the earth,  while looking up from the pits of the darkest depths,  I cleaned up nicely on Friday.   

Good luck!

This week we are still using last year's records to select games. Next week we will start using this year's.

Lots of good games on tap.

I've got 2 dawgs.

I'm sure there are more than two but I couldn't pull the trigger on 'em.

Good luck.

Welp,  week 2 was rough picking. 

Week 2 results:   14-10

Dawgs 1-1  (Heritage) - (Lebanon)

Games <8:   4-4

Rank 12th

Analysis:  Tough week.   Looks like a lot of pickers had a rough outing this week as I missed on 10 of 24 but only fell 2 spots. 

Looks like everyone that picked missed the Greeneville @ Dobyns-Bennett game that was called due to lightning in a 14-14 tie.

@CoachT,  maybe for fairness sake this game's results should be thrown out.   Everyone that didn't pick the game doesn't lose the game and winds up with a better % for doing so.  Those of us that did pick the game didn't have the option of picking a "tie" game so therefore we all lost.   I believe the TSSAA has declared a no contest.

Anyways,  moving on to week 3.

Good luck!

Another week of many dogs hitting. I have had two poor weeks in a row and am still only 3 picks behind first plaće. Looks like everone else is also having a hard time picking correctly so far. Good luck everyone next week. Maybe we can start to get a better feel for these tossups.

Week 3 Big Ones was another rough outing for most including myself.

I went with ALL favorites and got burnt.  (burning man)

Week 3 results:

Thursday:  0-1  (yeah, I took WG)

Friday:  10-7  (really?)  (yeah really)

Dawgs:  None

<8:   4-2 

Rank 21 

Analysis:  Just an absolutely brutal week for most.  I'm lucky to have my head above the waters I guess. 

On the bright side, if there is one, I'm only 4 back. 

So, maybe, just maybe, with a little bit of luck I can find a couple rabbits and pull them outta the hat this week. 

Good luck.

I've got 4 dogs this week and if it's like previous weeks there are probably more dogs out there.  Good luck this week everyone.
