No worries. Link is here guys - hxxp://www2.vegas.com/gaming/ - use the Caesar-Hilton (aka Left) line. I'll go early and lock in Auburn -2.5 @ Mississippi St on Thursday night before that spread jumps up over a FG. Gus Malzahn is my binky.

(PS - is Utah/UNLV off? They don't have a point spread, and have Utah -110. Unless I'm missing something I can't imagine that's a pick 'em game.)

I nearly went with Oregon over Tennessee...as that game has the potential to be a blood bath.

just out of curiosity, would there be any harm to just giving anyone who doesn't make a pick in a given week a 0-1 for the week to try to get more participation?

This crap that Kansas is coming out throwing the football against Tech and that they don't have the quarterback situation settled has me very worried about my lock now.

You should be worried for picking against Tech in the first place!

Well, I figure two touchdowns was a little much for this matchup and that Gill would have the boys ready to play this week. Those comments...oh dear.

Not really harmful, but I didn't set the rules that way. If you missed the first pick, you can't jump in just like you'll be eliminated if you miss a pick later in the season.

Pick: Florida -15 over Tennessee.

If I win, yeah for me for keeping my winning streak alive. If I lose, good for my morale as Tennessee either won or managed to keep it close.
