Pauly's Pickems

Hey Sparty, in case you don't come back to win this game....

I'd rather see Milton and Ho**er as backups compared to Howell and Trubisky, but it is what it is

UNC was a decent game early, but Virginia putting the wood to NC State was not on my bingo card. Any of the catching the games so far?

Brad Betts got spots available in ESPN Fantasy for NFL if anyone is interested.

and also EJ Duncan and Seth Young here are the bonus points that are up for grabs. 25 for both the NCAA & NFL and 50 points as well.

25 points for the NCAA: Which conference has the best overall winning percentage in bowl games (minimum of 4 games). 25 for NFL: Which conference/division sends the most teams to the playoffs (i.e. AFC West)

50 points are going to be easy for both. Which individual gets the Bonehead Award the MOST this season? (If you choose diff for NCAA and NFL just make sure to let me know i.e. NCAA - A NFL - F):
A. Derek Matthew Pauly
B. Scott Meacham
C. Brad Betts
D. EJ/Seth (new guys)
E. Jas Montgomery-Grice
F. Anyone Else

Good luck and leave your answers in the comments!

since the NFL is starting a week after the NCAA, this post will be a week after the NCAA. Jas Montgomery-Grice won last year's contest so she will choose a risk/reward for the first week. Here are the games, and the R/R will be in the comments.

let's go ahead and kick off the 12th Annual NCAA edition of Pauly's Pickems. And for anyone new to the page, follow how others make picks.

(Games are based on confidence points. The more confident you are in a game, you assign that game more points. However you MUST use all numbers from 1 - 10, don't assign multiple games 3 confidence points for example; it's happened in the past).

With that being said, here are the games, and since Brad Betts won last year he was allowed to choose a game and the risk/reward for that game. (For newbies, risk/rewards are NOT mandatory, but if you choose to play you can potentially get 5 bonus points if you're correct, but lose 5 points if you're wrong).

SMU @ Florida St. [Mon 730pm EST] (ACC) ***Which team has the most WR yards***
Baylor @ Auburn (Big XII)
Boise St. @ Oregon (Big 10)
Louisiana-Monroe @ Miss State (SEC)
Citadel @ Charlotte (American)

Good luck!

While waiting for my Pickems to start up, head on over to aspickems.com for Jesus Castillo please!

the posts will be up within the next couple of weeks for the NCAA Pickems, NFL Pickems, and Pauly's Probables. As suggested, whoever wins the regular season will have an additional 100 points added to their score for both the NCAA and NFL. (NCAA after rivalry week and NFL after week 18).

Spread the word, the more people playing, the merrier!
