A crazy week for the MGT sees Alpha1Cowboy reclaim the #1 position!  The leaderboard has been shaken with several big leaps up and a few brutal falls.  It's anyone's game!

 

-= WEEK 10 RESULTS =-

Feature Game - Carolina Panthers (+4) @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Someone call the ASPCA because a bunch of cats were murdered in Pittsburgh Thursday night.  Bets on the Steelers win.
 
QUESTIONS

1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Panthers TD, Panthers FG, Panthers safety, Steelers TD, Steelers FG, Steelers safety, or other? ($2,000 for the correct call)
The night started off well with a 20 yard TD pass from Cam to McCaffery.  Little did they know... (Carolina TD). Kal-El814 and Greatoneshere were the only players to call this one correctly.

 

2) Keeping the offense on the field: Which team in the Feature Game will have a better 3rd down efficiency (percentage of successfully converted 3rd downs)?  ($1,800 for the correct call)
Pittsburgh converted on 72% of their 3rd downs to only 36% for Carolina.  Calls on the Steelers get the money.

 

3) Name the player that will score the first touchdown in the Buffalo @ NY Jets game. And by 'score' we mean "the player holding the ball in the end zone". ($2,000 for the right name)
Lesean McCoy scored on a 28 yard run off tackle for the first of the game.  Nobody saw Shady coming.

 

4) Name the NFC East QB that throws for the most yards this week. ($1,800 for the correct name)
Yup.  Wentz.

 

5) Call the winners:
NY Giants at San Francisco
Washington at Tampa Bay
Jacksonville at Indianapolis
($1,800 for EACH correctly named game winner, $3,200 bonus if you call all 3 correct)

Only Jose and mikechorney called the Giants to beat the Niners. Nobody got all 3 correct to earn the bonus.

 

6) Which team will score the MOST points in Week 10? ($2,500 for the correct answer)
The Steelers edged out the Saints by 1 pt on this question, hanging 52 on the Panthers.

 

7) Punters are people too.  Which punter will have the longest boot in week 10? ($2,500 for the right name)
Michael Dickson had a ridiculous 68 yard boot for the Seahawks. I'm actually shocked that 4 players got this one. Good job.
 
8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in Week 10. ($5,000 for each player named correctly, $11,000 bonus if both names are called)
Winning for both rushing and Best Name, Cleveland's Nick Chubb tallied 176 yards on the ground while Philly TE Zach Ertz pulled in 145 through the air to become the first non-WR to take the receiving title this season.  Nobody called either player.

Good luck to everyone in Week 11!  Feature Game and Questions follow this post!

 

-= THE RULES =-

1. You make your bet and answer the questions simply by posting on the thread each week with your pick for the featured game along with your bet, followed by your answers to the prediction questions.

2. Everyone starts with $1,000. If a user doesn't start until week 3, they still start with $1,000. Your best bet it to get in early and play every week.

3. If you somehow reach $0 you are not out of the competition. You can't bet on the feature game during weeks that you are broke, but you can answer the prediction questions and hope to earn cash to gamble the following week.

4. IMPORTANT: I will set a deadline for getting your entries for the week in (usually before kick-off of that week's first game). It is imperative that you make your post before the deadline. The entry thread will be locked at the deadline so if you don't get your entry in by then you lose out on the chance to make money that week.

5. I work full time AND coach youth football AND go to school when I can AND have a near crippling gaming addiction AND probably drink too much. Responsibilities and personality flaws allowing, I will attempt to post the results and the next week's game/questions each Tuesday, as early as possible. Keep in mind though that there may be some wackiness here and there based on my schedule and hangovers. Pay attention.

6. For the official recording of stats/yardage NFL.com will be used. Whatever their site says on Tuesday morning is what counts.  No whining.

8. Accounts created within the current calendar month are not eligible to play and any entries from such accounts will not be considered.
