The 2023-24 Mock Gambling Thread - WEEK 7 - thewhyteboar clings to his lead!

[Slug]

thewhyteboar continues his impressive 6 week reign atop the standings!  But almost the entire board is right on his heels, in easy striking distance of first place.  Will he continue to be able to hold the pack at bay?

 

########## Week 6 Results ##########

Week 6 Feature Game - Baltimore Ravens (-4.5) @ Tennessee Titans
 The Ravens go to London and take down the Titans by a score of 19.5(24-4.5)-16.  Bets on Baltimore win.

 

QUESTIONS
1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Ravens TD, Ravens FG, Ravens safety, Titans TD, Titans FG, Titans safety, or other? ($300 for the correct call)
The teams traded field goals in the 1st quarter, but the Ravens did it first with a Justin Tucker 41 yarder.  Ravens FG is the call. Slug is the only one to get this right.
 

2) Who will score the first TD in the Feature Game?  By "Score" we mean, "the guy holding the ball in the endzone" so only pick a QB if you think it will be a rushing TD by him. ($300 for the right team)
Zay Flowers found the endzone first on the tail of a 10 yard reception for the score. AbsolutSurgen was the only player to call Flowers' number.

 

3) Name a player that you think will break a long run in Week 6.  If that player is in the top 3 longest runs of the week you win. ($400 for the right answer)
Derrick Henry, Raheem Mostert and Saquon Barkley had the three longest runs of Week 6.  If you named one of these guys you got it.
 

4) Washington Commanders @ Atlanta Falcons - Over or Under 42.5 total points? ($200 for the correct answer)
The Commanders take the win over Atlanta by a score of 24-16 for 40 total.  Under is the call.

 

5) Call the winners:
Minnesota at Chicago
Seattle at Cincinnati
Detroit at Tampa Bay
($200 for each correctly named winner, $500 bonus if you hit all 3)
Not a lot of faith in the Bengals out there this week.  It was only AbsolutSurgen who hit all 3 to earn the bonus!
