Syracusefan.com Pick'em Groups

[TDTOrange]

Anyone interested in joining an "official" Syracusefan.com pick'em groups I've created on Yahoo, here's the info:

College Pick'em:
Group: 9200
Password: hardnosed
Rules: Pick all top 25 and ACC games against the spread. No weeks thrown out.

Pro Pick'em:
Group: 30675
Password: hardnosed
Rules: Pick all games against spread. No weeks thrown out. Game continues through playoffs.

Not sure we can provide anything to the winners. Maybe the admins can comp a month or 2 on the pay side or something .

I'm also thinking about creating groups on cover5.com for syracusefan for college or pro. If there is interest, I'll do so. For those unfamiliar with cover 5, it's a fun twist on pick'em. You pick a winner in 5 of the games and your points are based upon how many points that team covered their spread by. Example: Team A is favored by 7 over Team B. You select Team A, and they win 31-20. You earn 4 points for that game because they won by 4 point more than the spread. I have seen some wild point swings week to week using this type of scoring method, so you're never out of it.

What day are the spreads set? Most of the spreads are (off)

They lock in on Thursdays usually. All the games that are listed as 0(OFF) are vs. 1AA teams and Yahoo never puts a spread on those, so they're free wins.

Can a non Cuse fan get in on this?

Can a non Cuse fan get in on this?

Sure. The more the merrier. One condition is you must always choose Syracuse in your picks.

I should have read the fine print on the Clemson game...

We're currently up to 16 participants.
We could use some more.

Since we aren't wagering money - I think we should wager something else:

Suggestion #1: If you win a week, everyone else in the pool has to LIKE your posts for the next next 7 days.

I'm open to any suggestions to keep interest in it going all season. I'm also up for public shaming of the last place entry for each week.

LAST CALL! First game in the pick set starts at 8pm on Friday. Join the group and make your picks before then!

We've got 20 brave souls who aren't afraid to show off their (lack of) football knowledge. There must be more on this site that aren't scurred.
