EOG's Grand Challenge presented by BetDSI (VALUIST is our December contestant)
- Thread starter John Kelly
- Start date
Yes.
It may have set the Grand Challenge record for the pick farthest out in the future.
Besides the Bills today, going to add one college basketball play:
Alabama - 1 1/2 over Gonzaga (-110). I've done well fading Gonzaga so far. Yes, Timme is still there and they have a few good wins: Kentucky, Xavier and Mich State, but they are now on a 0-6-1 ATS run. After being dominant so long, everyone seems to expect them just to be a top 5 team. Maybe they will be, but not based on what they've done. They missed covering vs NIU by over 10 points, and only led 36-30 at the half. They struggled vs Kent St, before "pulling away" 73-66 in a non covering win. This game is considered a "semi-neutral court" game, being in Birmingham. But face it, what is Tuscaloosa, about 2500 miles closer than Spokane? Gonzaga O strength is 2 pt FG (figures w/Timme) but Crimson Tide 10th in 2 pt D. Alabama has faced 4 top 25 Ken Pom opponents in their last 5 games.

best thing is tyreek is dinged up badly
0-2 today to go to 9-7.
Buffalo did not play a smart game today. Lots of stupid mistakes, not the least of which was roughing the punter on a 4th and 10, which gave Miami the ball back (and they drove for a TD). Numerous dropped passes; Dawson Knox apparently doesn't like catching passes in the cold. Buffalo couldn't stop the run most of the game. Then Singletary going down intentionally when he probably could've scored, but went down a good yard short of a first down. In a blizzard, probably not smart to play for a FG. In this instance, Singletary should've scored.

Almost Allright
GO Bucks!!!
Miami’s third and short play calling was baffling as well. Best of luck. Keep battling
One win and one loss from two NFL plays.
VALUIST stands at 10-8.
A record of 8-4 over his final 12 plays gets the money.
Let's go!

I hope Valuist takes it down and gets the money. He did nothing wrong. JK, however, has made a joke of this contest. Every valued and unvalued poster who took the challenge and lost should be angry. They followed the rules. Now JK says the rules are newspaper. So many rules were broken before Valuist posted 2 plays in 1 days but that is the JK breaker. It delegitimizes everything. It's fucking rule #1. Hans Solo. It is everything. And JK says newspaper. Should have stayed on vacay in Tica, JK. Just like Brady should have stayed retired. Now both of you ruined your team and forum.

The opening odds start here
I mean one play per day seems like the going format if that's still the case. I haven't played this challenge in a long time but I was never a big fan of selecting one play per day for the future, but in lingo to the rules it still met the criteria . If these selections were made one play each day for Sunday football played all on the same day, then the rule needs to be revisited and classified properly. I don't like to feel or see if anything in the rules were done wrong. The contest is sponsored so the idea one would rather see is controversy avoided.
I've played the contest 3 times in my career, winning once and losing twice. All 3 times I can say I played games that were scheduled one day on that same day or night where there was action.

Such a crappy card. Going to force a CBB play. One team off a 9 day layoff the other played on Saturday. The team that wants to run back in 2 days and the team that can't find the basket off since Dec 10. And the money keeps coming in on the over. I'm going against the line move again. Did well on a few last week.
UT Arlington/San Francisco Under 137 1/2 (-106). Needless to say, I will be asleep long before this one is over.

VALUIST now knows the rules.
One play per day.
He's 11-8 with 11 plays remaining.
Georgia -6.5 over Ohio State is already in the hopper.
If the contest ended today, VALUIST would fall short of the 60% threshold.

bring it home!
Val's a closer. He's got this.
Imagine having Miami moneyline and the under. Miami led 61-53 with one minute left. Miami holds on, and the under barely held too, despite the 16 points in the final minute.
Back to the gridiron.
Air Force + 3 1/2 (-107)

All the talk on Saleh. All I know is in the Oct 30 New England game, the Minnesota game, and the Dec 11 Buffalo game, I thought the Jets were the better team and they lost each of those games. Allowing punt return TDs to make the difference in losses to Detroit and New England. The early returns aren't good for Saleh. The D is very good, and they do miss the RB who was injured. They look like a candidate for a season win bet over next year.
VALUIST always looking for his next bet.
Love it.
Love it.
