Football “Lock of the Week” Contest
Here we go again! :)
Rules
1. Using the betting lines from Scores & Odds (you can go to Free sports scores, lines and picks at ScoresandOdds (http://www.scoresandodds.com/footballschedule_thisweek.html?sort=rot) to find the lines; use the lines under the Current column), select a “lock of the week” from any college or professional football game this season until the end of the professional football regular season. DO NOT USE ANY OTHER SITES FOR YOUR SELECTION.
2. You must make your pick 1 hour before kick-off and post the line in your selection. However, you can make your pick early, but you are locked into the line at the time of selection (honor system: please be honest about the line).
3. You must be able to participate each week. If you fail to make your selection that week, you are eliminated from the competition.
4. If you are a winner that week, you will receive a bonus depending on the amount your pick goes over/under the line. This will be used as a tie-breaker.
5. There is no bonus for ties or losses.
6. The person with the best record will win the contest. (Again, ties will be broken using the bonus)
7. No piggybacking (picking the same pick as another person) after week 12.
Example:
Bob picks USC -4.5 over California and the Trojans win the game 21-13. He would be 1-0 (+3.5 bonus).
Jim picks Nebraska +1 over Texas and the Huskers win 13-10. Jim would be 1-0 (+4.0 bonus).
Bill picks Tulsa -7 over Houston and the Hurricanes win 26-20. Bill would be 0-1 (no bonus).
Good luck to the participants!
