The 2021-22 Mock Gambling Thread - WEEK 17 - Keyser_Soze has tough actin' Tinactin'!

[Slug]

Keyser_Soze hangs on to his lead but gains no ground in his bid to pull away from the pack in Week 16! (OK, he gained some ground...$602..but what's a few hundred fake Internet dollars here or there?)  As we roll into the penultimate week of the regular season the MGT, like the AFC, is still anyone's ball game!

 

########## WEEK 16 RESULTS ##########

 

Week 16 Feature Game - Miami Dolphins at New Orleans Saints (-3.5)
As the 'rona continues to run rampant through the League, a depleted Saints team gets rolled by the Dolphins by a score of 30-negative 0.5(3-3.5).  Bets on Miami win.

 

QUESTIONS

1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Dolphins TD, Dolphins FG, Dolphins safety, Saints TD, Saints FG, Saints safety, or other? ($1,700 for the correct call)
Sanders hit's a 48 yard field goal in the 1st quarter to start off the scoring in the Feature Game. Miami FG is the call. BasemntDweller2 and ManUtdRedDevils were the only players to call this one correctly.

 

2) Which team will score LAST in the Feature Game? ($1,000 for the correct call)
Sanders starts and ends the scoring in this one with a 4th quarter boot.  Guesses on the Dolphins get it.

 

3) Protect the ball! Name any player that will fumble more than once in Week 16. ($2,000 for the correct player)
Nobody! Everyone who fumbled in Week 16 learned their lesson and didn't do it again.

 

4) Yes or no: Will any receiver catch 3 or more TDs in a single game in Week 16? ($1,000 a correct guess)
No receiver caught more than 2 TDs this week.  No is the call.

 

5) Call the winners:
Indianapolis at Arizona
Jacksonville at N.Y. Jets
Buffalo at New England
($1,200 for EACH correct named game winner, $3,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly)
Not a lot of faith in Buffalo, so no bonus awarded.
 
6) How many teams will have clinched a playoff spot after Week 16? ($2,000 for the right number)
6 teams have cemented their place in the playoffs as of the end of Week 16.

 

7) Washington @ Dallas - Over or under 46.5 points? ($1,000 for the right call)
Over.  Way over.

 

8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week sixteen. ($3,500 for each player named correctly, $7,500 bonus if both names are called)
Rex Burkhead was Week 16's leading rusher with 149 yards and Tee Higgins put up 194 in receiving yards to lead there.  Nobody called either player.
