The 2022-23 Mock Gambling Thread - WEEK 8 - Slug hangs on!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Slug holds on to the lead by a very slim margin as several players make big gains with their accurate predictions on Question 5.  Bye weeks have begun as we approach the halfway point of the regular season with over half the leaderboard still in one-week striking distance of the top!

 

########## WEEK 7 RESULTS ##########

 

Week 7 Feature Game: Pittsburgh Steelers @ Miami Dolphins (-7.5)
The Steelers lose on the field Sunday night, but win in the MGT by a score of 10-8.5(16-7.5).  Bets on Pittsburgh win.

 

QUESTIONS
1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Steelers TD, Steelers FG, Steelers safety, Dolphins TD, Dolphins FG, Dolphins safety, or other? ($500 for the correct call)
Tua hits Ryan Mostert in the redzone for a touchdown in the 1st quarter and the first points of this one.  Biggie was the only player to call this one correctly.

 

2) Name the player that will score the first TD of the Feature Game (as always by "score" we mean the guy holding the ball in the endzone)? ($500 for the correct team)
It was Mostert!  See question 1. :P

 

3) Which team in the feature game will have more total passing yards? ($300 for the correct team)
Surprisingly close, Miami wins the passing yards battle with 261 to Pittsburgh's 246.
 
4) Name any player that will be in the top 3 for Week 7 passer rating (minimum 3 pass attempts). ($500 for a correct name)
Joe Burrow (138.2), Patrick Mahomes (132.4) and PJ Walker (126.5) were your highest rated QBs of Week 7.
 
5) Call the winners:
Indianapolis Colts at Tennessee Titans
N.Y. Giants at Jacksonville Jaguars
N.Y. Jets at Denver Broncos
($300 for EACH correct named game winner, $600 bonus if you call all 3 correctly)
In an apparently easy to pick week, 4 players (AbsolutSurgen, Commissar SFLUFan, Keyser_Soze, and silentbob) all picked each game correctly and earned the bonus!

 

6) Name the player that will have the longest YAC in a single play in Week 6. ($800 for the correct answer, $400 if your named player is 2nd or 3rd for the week)
Kevin White wins wthis one with 62 YAC for a TD.  McKinnon, Carter and Byrd were 2nd-3rd place.  Any of these names and you got cash.  But nobody did.

 

7) Which game in Week 5 will have the LOWEST combined score? ($700 for the right name)
Bucs @ Panthers were the lowest scoring game of the week with 24 total, helped by Tampa Bay only mustering a single field goal on the day.  Nobody called this game.
 
8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week seven. ($1,800 for each player named correctly, $3,600 bonus if both names are called)
Kenneth Walker III rushed for a ridiculous 168 yards and Tyler Boyd caught 155 yard worth of passes to be your Week 7 leaders. Kal-El814 and thewhyteboar both called Walker's number.  Nobody called Boyd; no bonus awarded.
