Are you sure? I thought it was based on the spreads.

Nevermind. I think you are right. I just went back and didn't see anything about making your selections based on the pointspreads. I had to change my pick to Alabama in that case cause I was taking Utah and the points. I still think Utah can upset them though.

Best of luck to the both of you though! Watch, my team will score the most points this week, when it means didley squat. Story of my life. Lost in my money league this week too when McNabb came up 4 points shy for me. Had the Browns had even SOMEWHAT of a pulse, they would have kept him in. oh, and PHUCK Pierre Thomas/Bears D too.

I'm in the finals of my money league too. I've got a guy I beat twice in the regular season, so that kiss of death should land me firmly in second place.

Thinking seriously of starting Cassel over Peyton.....

Bring home the cheddar Bigs!!!

Peyton on national TV might be too much to bench. Who knows though? Zona's not playing for anything and their defense is piss poor to begin with. Tough draw for you, but i'm sure you'll make teh right decision.

I think I'm going to start the new year off on a real positive from a gambling perspective. Why the hell did I have to change it for the contest though? Go Utes. To hell with Bama.

Well, perhaps those "buckons" can save some face for the Big 10 after their champ got schooled last week in Pasadena by the best team in the nation.
