best3444 extends his lead once again, keeping his impressive run atop the leaderboard going strong!  Will he be able to keep it going through the holiday or will the rest of the pack shake off their food comas and regain some ground?

 

########## Week 11 Results ##########

 

Week 11 Feature Game - Minnesota Vikings (+2.5) @ Denver Broncos
The Broncos come back to get it done on Sunday, but not enough to cover the points.  Denver loses in the MGT by a score of 21-22.5(20+2.5) to the Vikings.  Bets on Minnesota win.

 

QUESTIONS
1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Vikings TD, Vikings FG, Vikings safety, Broncos TD, Broncos FG, Broncos safety, or other? ($600 for the correct call)
Willie Lutz hits a 31 yard FG for the Broncos in the first quarter to start things off.  Denver FG is the call.

 

2) How many total punts will we see in the Feature Game? ($500 for the right number)
Six punts were made in the Feature Game. Nobody called this one.

 

3) Name any player that will record 2 or more sacks in Week 11. ($700 for the right name)
10 players got credited with 2+ sacks this week.  If you named one of them you got the cash.

 

4) Name both the player that will have the most receiving yards and the player that will have the most rushing yards in Week 11.  ($1,000 for each you get correct)
Jaylen Warren led all rushers with 129 yards on the ground while Brandon Aiyuk got it done through the air to the tune of 156 yards receiving. Nobody called either player.

 

5) Call the winners:
Seattle at LA Rams
Pittsburgh at Cleveland
Philadelphia at Kansas City
($400 for each correctly named winner, $800 bonus if you hit all 3)
A lot of two picks, but nobody got 3 so no bonus for you!

WEEK 12 MOCK GAMBLING - SPREAD AND QUESTIONS

 

DEADLINE FOR WEEK 12 ENTRIES - 11/23/2023 (Thursday) 12:29 EASTERN
THREAD WILL BE LOCKED AT THE DEADLINE SO GET YOUR ENTRIES IN!

 

Week 12 Feature Game
Washington Commanders (+11.5) @ Dallas Cowboys
(Remember you are betting against the spread, not just the outright winner)

 

QUESTIONS

An MGT Thanksgiving tradition, for this slate of holiday games we give thanks to those players that bring us the touchdowns we love to see every week!

 

As always by "score" we mean, "the player holding the ball in the endzone". Don't pick a QB unless you think it will be a rushing TD by them or the exceedingly rare TD pass to themself.

 

1) Name the player that will score the first touchdown in the Feature Game ($1,000 for the correct player)

 

2) Name the player that will score the first touchdown in the Green Bay @ Detroit game ($1,000 for the correct player)

 

3) Name the player that will score the first touchdown in the San Francisco @ Seattle game ($1,000 for the correct player)

 

4) Name the player that will score the first touchdown in the Miami @ New York Jets game ($1,000 for the correct player)

 

5) Call the winners:
Jacksonville at Houston
New Orleans at Atlanta
Los Angeles Rams at Arizona Cardinals
($500 for each correctly named winner, $1,000 bonus if you hit all 3)

Good luck!

Damn 11.5 points in a NFL game is a lot but its Washington.

:hmm:

 

Yup.  Washington has played in a lot of close games.  Dallas, not so much,

Man, that 11.5 point spread in the Washington/Dallas game just smells like a trap! :thinking:

 

It's bad either way. Can you really rely on the Cowboys to not choke? Can you rely on the Commanders to put in a good game after getting demolished by the Giants? It's a short week, so Thursday night games suck. So many factors to consider. :p
