The 2022-23 Mock Gambling Thread - WEEK 7 - Slug Takes Command!


Slug

Recommended Posts

Doing what he always does when Washington is in the Feature Game, Slug makes an all-in bet that jettisons him to the top of the leaderboard!  His team is bad and his owner is a goblin, this is all he has and he's going to enjoy it for at least a week!  With most players upping their totals despite losing bets, the leaderboard remains tight as we approach the cold weather portion of the season.  Can you stay warm burning fake internet money?  Let's try!

 

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

 

Week 6 Feature Game: Washington Commanders (+1.5) @ Chicago Bears
The Commanders eke out a win in Chicago on a series of goal line stands, beating the Bears by a score of 13.5(12+1.5)-7.  Bets on Washington win.  Keyser_Soze and Slug were the only players to call the Feature Game correctly.

 

QUESTIONS
1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Commanders TD, Commanders FG, Commanders safety, Bears TD, Bears FG, Bears safety, or other? ($400 for the correct call)
A 2nd quarter Joey Slye field goal puts the Commanders up 3-0 for the first points of the game.

 

2) Will either team in the Feature Game score in the final 2:00 of the game? ($300 for the correct team)
Nope!

 

3) Which team in the Feature Game will run more total plays? ($300 for the correct team)
The Bears ran 69 (nice) total plays to Washington's 53.  Chicago is the call.

 

4) Name any two teams that BOTH score 24 or more points in Week 6. ($400 for two correct teams)
Twelve teams (the Falcons, Patriots, Jets, Jags, Colts, Vikings, Bengals, Saints, Giants, Rams, Bills, and Eagles) all scored 24 or better in Week 6.  If you called 2 of these teams you got it.

 

5) Call the winners:
Cincinnati Bengals at New Orleans Saints
Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks
Buffalo Bills at Kansas City Chiefs
($300 for EACH correct named game winner, $600 bonus if you call all 3 correctly)
Three players, Keyser_Soze, thewhyteboar and silentbob, called all 3 games to earn the bonus.

 

6) Carolina @ Los Angeles Rams: Which team will have more TOTAL rushing yards? ($300 for the correct answer)
L.A. Put up 111 rushing yards to Carolina's 93.  Bets on the rams get it.

 

7) Which game in Week 5 will have the highest combined score? ($600 for the right name)
The Jaguars and the Colts combined for 61 total points, the highest of the week.  Shockingly, 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. ($1,500 for each player named correctly, $3,500 bonus if both names are called)
Kenyan Drake got 119 rushing yards and Tyreek Hill pulled down 177 receiving to be your Week 6 yardage leaders.  Nobody called either player.
