3 Best Bets -- Week 18

[Screw_Michigan]

Wow, we have a four way tie for first! Things are getting heated down the stretch. I won the week at 1-1, go figure.

I'm calling Bills/Bengals as a tie, so no points for that game.

Remember, you can play throughout the playoffs. Those games will matter this year.

Thank you for the update, SM!

The standings are extremely close, but I do think there is an error.

I believe TWIS should be back in the lead now.
I think he went 2-1 last week.

Give it a look.

[Donnie Baker's Ghost]

Can I get an official scorers review of my last week as well?

I lost the Eagles pick, pushed on LAC/LAR at 41, and had an incomplete on Bills/Bengals.

Should be 0-1 unless I lose on a push.

[Biggie]

Cut it out, guys. He’s doing the best he can.

[Softball Bat]

Hey SM,what are you doing?

Didn't Biggie go 3-0 last week?

Check that out!

[Softball Bat]

One other thing, SM.

I think this line is supposed to be reversed.

LAC +3.5 DEN 40

I think it' should be LAC -3.5

I'll give you a push. I thought about this last night. You had under 41, which means all numbers under and including 40. A combined score of 41 is technically not under 41.

I asked a friend who used to work for a Vegas casino creating lines whether you should get a push for this. We'll see what he says, but in the meantime, i'll give you a push.

[Screw_Michigan]

OK you rotting shitbags, I took your concerns to account and made some fixes. Sorry for the hassle.

Now fuck off.

That's so tempting, Bears are starting Nathan Peterman, looks like a tank for first pick.

hmmm :?

LAC +3.5 DEN 40

He fell for it, nice job ‘tart.

[Softball Bat]

That line has moved a lot from where it opened.

It opened at about LAC -3.5 and now I see DEN -2.5.

It seems the Bolts intend to rest players for this one.

[Biggie]

Seems like a mistake to rest starters. 5 seed vs 6 seed is important - don’t want to go to Cincinnati for WC Weekend if you can go to Jacksonville instead.

I didn't fall for anything. He was right, I fat fingered the line, like how I fat finger your wife.
