@dukedevilz, you are an evil, evil man. I take the lead so you put a Purdue game in the picks to mess with me. You know I can't pick Purdue because when I do, we lose.....every damn time.

Ideally these matchups are close to as 50-50 as possible. So theoretically, if I'm doing this right, most teams would have close to a .500 record in Pick'Em. Big Ten games for Purdue are likely all to be road games, as games in Mackey Arena would overwhelmingly favor Purdue - and obviously road games against quality opponents are never easy.

But yeah, I get the need to emotionally hedge your bet. I've certainly done that more than a few times. Seems like a lot of posters pick in favor of the other team instead of their own - except for Tennessee and Kentucky fans lol. They go straight homer every time.

Auburn/Alabama will be a #1 vs #2 matchup. Awesome!

Wow, you're that confident that UT wins tonight?
Dayum.

Don’t confuse confidence with desperation.

That desperation backfired. 😁

All road teams. What could possibly go wrong?

Apparently everything can go wrong. I'm pretty sure I've gotten Purdue wrong every single time this year. Please stop putting them in the pick em.

I would lose anyway though. This way I can make it look like it was simply because I 'forgot' to pick all of the games.

 

[dukedevilz]

Dumb on me picking Tennessee at 6. I'm not overly confident in any of these games. I just knew UK had been semi-slumping lately and they've been dealing with injuries. But yes, taking the road team at 6 is probably a little reckless on my part.

There will be more Purdue games lol. Between Michigan State and Illinois, I'm certain one of those games will make the cut.

not playing in this but was shocked at all of you who took Tennessee so high last night with the points.

Blame it on the fellas at southeastern 16, they all picked UT and that is the kiss of death. Almost every time they all pick a team to win, that team loses.

 

[dukedevilz]

At least me picking Tennessee at 6 wasn't as embarrassing as this call lol

Congrats to @GE Nole on winning week 15 with 19 points! He's now within striking distance of the leaders. @boilerzz retains the lead with the smallest of margins. 3 others are within 4 points.

Quite the range of scores this week. Love it when the picks aren't so uniform. I'm planning for the next double-points week to be the final week of the regular season. And we'll have one more after that in the Sweet 16. I'll also drop the lowest weekly score sometime this month.

I probably would have included the Purdue/Michigan State game, had I posted these games yesterday. So you all are safe on "no Purdue games" for this week.
