Week 3 Feature Game and Questions follow this post!  Deadline is tonight so hopefully everyone sees this.  I know short notice weeks suck and I try to avoid them, but only being home a couple days and catching up on the pile of work that was waiting for me got in the way.  In any case - GOOD LUCK!

The funny thing about picking the Giants is that you had to do it two weeks in advance. I bet if we picked week by week no one would have picked the Giants week 2.

I am taking @Biggie bait and want to join this unless it's too late? I need to know how to play as well.

Answer the question and you can't bet this week because you have no money. That's all you need to know.

You can bet your money (against the spread) -- since you are joining late, you can't do this part yet.

You can submit answers to each of the questions that you can use to make bets in the future.

Goes every week, up until the Super Bowl.  Person with the most fake money at the end wins.
