We've made it all the way to Week 7 all! So far, the TNIAAM Pick'em Contest has featured some really good early weeks, but as we've progressed the results keep getting worse and worse. (That is how Vegas makes its money.)
The most consistent picker has been TNIAAM contributor Dan Lyons, who has yet to have a week below .500 and sits in third place overall. The rest of the leaders are riding really strong weeks, however, one bad week can drop them quickly in the standings.
As for the Week 7 lines, there's some interesting tidbit to take note of: First, there's four home teams that are underdogs with three of those teams -- Washington, Texas and Kansas St. -- getting double-digits.
Second -- which is more of a question -- who is going to take Boston College, which is a HUGE underdog; or Syracuse, which is getting a touchdown on the road?
Third, the ever so dependable Florida State Seminoles, who are 4-1 against the spread this season, are not on the docket this week, so you can't pick them.
Here are the Week 7 lines. As always, an easier copy & paste list is in the comments section.
