The 2022-23 Mock Gambling Thread - WILD CARD WEEKEND


Slug

Recommended Posts

In a wild final week of the regular season, we saw the top of the leaderboard tighten up and one player make a leap to be in the post-season conversation!  As we move into the post-season it's Keyser_Soze holding on to his familiar spot atop the leaderboard.  As the questions diminish in number, betting prowess becomes more critical as we get into the home stretch!

 

########## WEEK 18 RESULTS ##########

 

Week 18 Feature Game: Detroit Lions (+4.5) @ Green Bay Packers
The Lions beat the Packers by a score of 24.5(20+4.5)-16.  Bets on Detroit win it.

 

QUESTIONS

 

1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Lions TD, Lions FG, Lions safety, Packers TD, Packers FG, Packers safety, or other? ($1,000 for the correct call)
It was a field goal battle in the 1st, but Green Bay got the opening shot.  Packers FG is the call, but nobody got it.

 

2) Which team in the Feature Game will win the time of possession battle? ($800 for the right team)
Green Bay held the ball for 32:15 to Detroit's 27:45.

 

3) Name any two teams that combine for over 50 points. ($800 for a correct pair)
If you got a correct pairing, you got the cash!

 

4) How many fumbles will be lost on Saturday? ($1,000 for the correct number)
Las Vegas lost a fumble on Saturday as did both Tennessee and Jacksonville.  The 3's have it.  Slug was the only player to get this one right.

 

5) Call the winners:
Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts
Dallas Cowboys @ Washington Commanders
($800 for EACH correct named game winner, $2,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly)
Commissar SFLUFAN was the only player to call all 3 games correctly to earn the bonus!

 

6) Which team will score last in the Baltimore @ Cincinnati game? ($800 for the correct team)
Justin Tucker hits a field goal in the 4th to close out the scoring in a losing effort against the Bengals.  Ravens is the call.  Slug was the only player to call Baltimore.

 

7) How many interceptions will be returned for touchdowns in Week 18? ($2,000 for the correct number)
I think it's 5, but the NFL's data isn't reporting correctly on this stat so Question 7 is a scratch.

 

8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week eighteen. ($4,500 for each player named correctly, $10,000 bonus if both names are called)
Tyler Allgeier is the rushing leader for the regular season finale at 135 yards and Jerry Jeudy is the receiving leader with 154.  Nobody called either player.

THREAD WILL BE LOCKED AT THE DEADLINE SO GET YOUR ENTRIES IN!

 

Wild Card Feature Game

NOTE: As we do every season when the playoffs start, we've cut the number of questions by 3 because fewer games and fewer players.  The most notable exclusion is the infamous Question 8 along with its large payout. Keep this in mind when wagering as there are now fewer opportunities to make up lost fake Internet money via questions.

1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Chargers TD, Chargers FG, Chargers safety, Jaguars TD, Jaguars FG, Jaguars safety, or other? ($1,200 for the correct call)

 

2) Which team in the Feature Game will lose the most turnovers? ($1,000 for the right team)

 

3) Which will be the highest scoring game of Wild Card Weekend? ($1,200 for the right game)

 

4) Which will be the lowest scoring game of Wild Card Weekend? ($1,200 for the right game)

 

5) Call the winners:
New York Giants @ Minnesota Vikings
Dallas Cowboys @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals
($1,000 for EACH correct named game winner, $2,500 bonus if you call all 3 correctly)

 

Good luck!
