CFB Pick 'Em Contest: Week 11 of 14 (Nov. 10-12)

[GTJT622]

Hey mates, I'm putting this one up a day early this week as I've got a lot going on Tuesday. Note, the NCSU-Syracuse game is still off the boards at the sportsbooks, so I have omitted that game and added in the South Carolina-Florida game instead.

Week 10 Recap: Tough week for all as breaking even got top billing for stech81, Buzzforlife, RyanS12, BFLJr, and SPRITE6. SPRITE6 holds a 3-game lead heading into the final 4 weeks of the picking season.

Auburn wins, covers, 56-28.
W.F. only loses 35-27, by 8.
Washington covers, wins by 10.

 

[BornAJacket]

Wake only loses by 8? that's a prediction right there.

 

[BornAJacket]

I am think about changing my UNC / Duke prediction. Rivarly games are always crazy, unpredicatable. I am thinking this one may be close. Duke covers.

Guess we wore their (unc) offense out last week.

 

[BornAJacket]

Since a few folks didn't get their predictions in on time are they out or will they get to predict the rest of the games? I think this is the first time we've had someone miss the deadline.

makes me sick

 

[Texwood]

Has the Trump Gestapo already whisked away GTJT and BFL? What in the name of Buddha is going on here?

 

[GTJT622]

Sorry for the lack of activity. It's been a rough week. TBH, I'm pretty fed up with GT FB and its fans. So, I think it's best I keep my opinions to myself in that realm.

Hopefully, one of you will run this contest for the rest of the season however you'd like. My heart and brain just aren't in this anymore.

Good luck to all of you and hope you and your families have a great holiday season on the horizon!!!

Sorry you feel that way. All of us have our opinions and at some point most will not be the same but it doesn't made one opinion better than the other. Time will tell which is right or that both could be wrong.

I posted last week that I would not have internet for this week and to put me down for all the favorites this week.. GTJT acknowledged.

I was consumed(eaten up)by Chris Christy. Guess you could say it was a "bridge too far". He misunderstood The Donald and the campaign slogan of Make America Great Again, he thought it was Make America "Eat" Again.

The old adage not to discuss politics or religion is keeping me off of social media. Self imposed.

Glad my last week picking is an 8-2 one. Finished a game under .500, so my hat is off to you guys who are over that demarcation line.

May all of you have a great holiday season and stay safe!

I think you are choosing a bad time to bail on GT FB, mate. You already know the reasons I think that, so no need to expound on that. Hope you and your family have a great holiday season too!

It's good to hear that you survived your hellish encounter with Chris Christy and lived to tell about it! And damn, 8-2 is a great week!

 

[BornAJacket]

Glad I didn't change that GT pick. What a great game by the defense.

 

[BornAJacket]

Wake only loses by 8? that's a prediction right there.

For the first half, that looked like a good thought. Second half different story

 

[Buzzforlife]

Don't forget the Hive has a contest(go jackets dot com). After a few top 20 finishes, I've finally moved into first place(probably a temporary situation)this year....

What a game up in Blacksburg! Big kudos to the whole team and staff for grabbing that win and starting our new bowl streak!

And here's the top 10 overall:

Let's win these last three games, with JT5 & Freddie & J.J. Green back(a healthier P.J. Davis, and Mills returning for Mutt game)!

The Bulldawg Student Tickets in the Visitor End Zone that were sold in 2014 to us for 50$, have been moved up to the 300's, FWIW.

 

[Texwood]

I agree, let's win these last three games! 9-4 has a nice ring to it. Not out of the realm of possibility if they continue to build off of the improved execution in all phases at VT.

 

[BornAJacket]

has anyone checked the standings?

 

[RyanS12]

No picks this week?
