Take that.
Shit, I am going to have to take Notre Dame, huh?
Haha nah. I am just trying to make suraz miss the deadline by waiting to see what I pick. Fortunately there are enough people that can catch him that he can't get too cute. I will probably make my pick Sunday.
Yeah, but the three of you are going to cover a pretty wide point spread and delay picking.
Assuming you all take The Ohio State University, I can freely take the most likely total in a Notre Dame upset (not that I know what that is).
The +/-3 might give you some wiggle room even if the point spreads are quite varied. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I do like the line of thinking that if you can't get the point total you want just take the underdog.
Notre Dame
55 (let's go full Sammy Hagar!)
🤞🤞
Wasting no time.
Let's go fighting Irish!
I like it
I just wing it! Go ahead 😰
Ohio State
48
You’re 4 points ahead of me, and I also think OSU will win. So I just need to beat u for the bonus so we tie for 1st. Your +- is 45 to 51. They both have a great defense tho, so I gotta go under to win.
@Undisciplined @grayruby check my game theory
That's fine, if you were just playing against @suraz.
You're problem (and mine) is that we lose if we make the same correct pick as @suraz, @grayruby, or @Bell_curve.
That means we have to let them pick first and go with a point total they didn't take or pick ND.
5 points 🤣
Oh shoot you’re right. So I HAVE TO do ND!
@grayruby @StackerSports I want to change my pick!! ND but I don’t know score yet.
@Undisciplined was right again
You can't beat the current leader with the same team picked to win. Correct.
Cool so I wanna switch then
Notre Dame
45
FINAL ANSWER
Let the game theory games begin!!!
Friendly reminder: still waiting on picks from @Undisciplined @theonceler @gnilma @Turdinthepunchbowl
You have until 6pm est.
Omg! I can’t pick!!!
You can pick if you would like. You just can't possibly win.
Okay give me The Dame
Notre Dame
45
FINAL ANSWER
you had to pick ND
Yes
I picked Ohio state for this pool but placed a few bucks on ND moneyline on fan duel
Notre Dame
60
I like it
So I need a scenario in which everyone scores no points and I score 12 to win.. problem is that someone has picked both ND or OSU, therefore I am now eliminated. I was gonna go for ND since they are underdogs and a super high score so no one would also get bonus... But I don't think that matters anymore.
OSU - 52
So now I'm just gonna try to get it right while losing.
Ohio State
55
edit: I changed my total
got the total within 2
good thing I changed my total
Ohio State
39
34 + 23 = 57
Norte Dame
37
OSU
41
Check my game theory against @suraz
If OSU wins with total score 44, then him and I tie for 1st I think!
Notre Dame 45
Notre Dame 49
