Running with the dogs (Week One)
Posted: Sun Aug 20, 2023 5:28 pm
This game is where you pick THREE UNDERDOGS (underdogs according to Doodle's Doodles list below) that you think will not only cover the spread, but may just win outright!
As in previous years, unless someone wants to step up and help to provide the weekly prizes, this will be for bragging rights only (HOWEVER: We will gladly accept any donations of cash, gift certificates, etc to provide to the weekly winners!) Still looking for those prizes....
The tiebreaker that we use in case of a tie, will be the total points scored by the biggest underdog on your list... but until we get prizes, does it really matter?
Examples of how the scoring system works:
In game one: Doodles has a projected spread of 33 points and the favorite won 42-0 so the underdog did not cover the spread and you get -1 point for that game if you picked it.
In game two: The underdog lost, but was closer than Doodle's spread, so you would get 1 point if you picked that game.
In game three: Not only did the underdog cover, they won the game, so you would get 5 points if you picked that game.
