Note to self: Never put tallying up the results of TNIAAM's Pick'em contest off until one day. Man, five hours later the results for Week 3 and the standings are here. I am not complaining, but it reminds me when I used to put everything else off until the last minute in college and then pull an all-nighter. After that, I would hate myself!
I hate myself even more after realizing I went 3-7-0 last week. Though, it doesn't look like many of us did very well expect for ppk700, The Polish Punch, Dan Lyons and E Scott, which all went 8-2-0. The solid weeks helped all of them move up in the standings, which still features klydefrog in first place.
The toughest games this past week was Virginia Tech failing to cover its 7.5 points against ECU; Wake Forsest losing to LA-Monroe as 3-point favorites; and SYRACUSE COVERING ITS 28-POINT SPREAD OVER WAGNER!!! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU FOR NOT BELIEVING!! -- there was a lot of you.
The easiest game was Maryland covering its 6.5-point spread versus UConn, because duhh.
As for contest news, some pickers have been eliminated because they've failed to pick more than once in three weeks. For those pickers that used up their "bye week" you have a asterisk next to your name, so don't miss another week.
