The 2021-22 Mock Gambling Thread - WEEK 7 - Biggie takes the lead! (BYE WEEK)

[Slug]

Being one of only two players to hit their bet on the Week 6 Feature game, Biggie slides into the lead by a slim margin and is the first player to crack the 10k mark this season!

 

Week 7 will be the first of possibly two Bye weeks in this extended 2021-22 MGT season.  Use the week off to reflect and think about what you've done.

 

########## WEEK 6 RESULTS ##########

 

Week 6 Feature Game - Buffalo Bills (-5.5) at Tennessee Titans
The Bills get upset by the Titans, losing 25.5(31-5.5)-34. Bets on Tennessee win.  Only Biggie and Slug called the Titans win.

QUESTIONS

1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Bills TD, Bills FG, Bills safety, Titans TD, Titans FG, Titans safety, or other? ($600 for the correct call)
A 1st quarter Tyler Bass field goal brought the first points in this one for Buffalo.
 

2) Which team in the Feature Game will have the longest kickoff return? ($400 for the correct team)
Marcus Johnson had a 31 yard return for the longest of the night.  Bets on Tennessee win.
 

3) Which team in the Feature Game will commit the most turnovers? ($400 for the right answer)
With no fumbles lost and each team throwing one pick, this one is a draw.
 

4) Name any two teams that BOTH score more than 24 points in Week 6? ($300 for the correct team)
TB, KC, LAR, IND, CIN, BAL, MIN, CAR, ARI, DAL, NE, BUF, and TEN all scored over 24 points.  If you called two of these teams you got the money.
 

5) Call the winners:
Minnesota at Carolina
Cincinnati at Detroit

A sweep for the road teams. AbsolutSurgen and thewhyteboar both nailed all three picks to earn the bonus.

 

6) Which game in Week 6 will have the LOWEST combined score? ($700 for the right team)
Houston vs Indy combined for a week low of 34 points.  Only Slug got this one.
 

7) Which game in Week 6 will have the HIGHEST combined score? ($700 for the right team)
Our Feature Game was also the high score of the week, with a combined 65 points for the Bills and Titans.  Nobody called this.

 

8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week six. ($1,000 for each player named correctly, $3,000 bonus if both names are called)
Jonathan Taylor let all runners with 145 yards on the ground and CeeDee Lamb grabbed 149 through the air to lead all receivers. Commissar SFLUFAN, Kal-El814, and thewhyteboar all saw Taylor's good week coming.  Nobody called Lamb because why would they?
