stony is - 5 on draftkings.

seems like an abnormally big opening game for tosu, or really meyers. things could go sideways quickly.

thanks laxfanshutt!! including the prize money, u didn't have to do that, good on you. my vote would be take it down to the last game.

Thanks for taking the lead on this, this year. Glad to see something we started for fun I think pre-covid is still around and really adds to the fun of lax season especially now that you can actually bet some of these games.

sorry not new to thread but didn’t do any picks before what are rules ? pick 4 games each week? can it be any 4 games or teams? or can ya only pick 1team to win once or anything important to know ?

4 games each week and you pick specifically against the spread (no over/unders).

Your free to use any 4 teams you want each week. Most people change from week to week but if you wanted to pick the same 4 each week you could, totally up to you.

 

[weedsportwarriors]

Duke - 11 over Bellarmine
Ped St - 10 over Colgate
St. Johns - 4 over NJIT
SU -6 over Vermont

 

[Zack80]

My picks:
Loyola +4 vs Georgetown
Denver +3 at Hopkins
Utah +2 at OSU
Maryland -6 at Richmond

- Georgetown beat Loyola badly last year, but Georgetown has lost a lot, and the game is at Ridley.
- Denver often struggles coming east. Still +3 is a pretty good margin.
- OSU has a questionable offense, giving myself the one goal OSU win seems like enough to push it to over 50% for pickin Utah. Fair to note though that OSU played really well in their new rinky dink stadium last season.
- Probably too many goals to give on the road for UMd, but UMd did win big last year.

Just to keep things fun and thanks to the help of consigliere there will be a 2nd and 3rd place prize
2nd place will get two autographed pics
3rd place will get a SyraCRUZ T-Shirt and cozy

 

[JeremyCuse]

Another year of Lax pickem, real stakes this time to!

Rutgers -4.5 - Lehigh lost a ton to graduation and Rutty has a veteran laden team with all the transfers and Scott, Rutty by a lot

Edit* Had Hop switching to SU -6 - Vermont is in a rebuild and I like to think SU will win big. I also don't trust Hops FOGO's against Stathakis

Navy -6 - Gambling off of a good scrimmage performance but if they can hang around with UVA I think they should be able to punish the Mount.

Gate +10 - Another gamble but Colgate is supposed to be better and 10 is a lot of goals especially when you take into account PSU puling guys late.

I like Utah a lot but couldn't pull the trigger.

My picks:
Johns Hopkins -3 v. Denver
Rutgers -4.5 v. Lehigh
Maryland -6 v. Richmond

Not a rule, but some of us (OX, I believe, and me - not sure how many others) always pick the SU game (if there is one).

 

[Delmar]

Thank you for setting this up. I've been looking forward to it. I'm hoping for a .501 winning percentage.
