An amazing Feature Game saw two insane offenses going at each other, but it was Alpha1Cowboy who was the real MVP in Week 11 being one of only 2 players to win their bet and extending his lead going into the last quarter of the regular season!

 

-= WEEK 11 RESULTS =-
Feature Game - Kansas City Chiefs (+2) @ Los Angeles Rams
In an absolute shoot out that was everything we expected from this game, the Rams edged out the Chiefs by a final score of 54-53(51+2) to cover and win.  RedSoxFan9 and Alpha1Cowboy were the only players to bet on the Rams!

 

QUESTIONS
1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Chiefs TD, Chiefs FG, Chiefs safety, Rams TD, Rams FG, Rams safety, or other? ($2,400 for the correct call)
The first scoring play was a 7 yard TD toss from Goff to Rob Woods. (Rams TD) RedSoxFan9 and Alpha1Cowboy were also the only players to call a Rams TD here!

 

2) Which team in the Feature Game will score last?  ($2,000 for the correct call)
A 40 yard TD bomb by the Rams with under 2 minutes to go was the final scoring play in this one.

 

3) Controlling the ball: Which team will have the greatest total time of posession in Week 11? ($2,500 for the right team)
Baltimore held on to the ball for 38:09 to lead the League in ToP this week. Nobody called the Ravens.

 

4) Battle of the big cats: Over or Under 51 points in the Carolina @ Detroit game? ($2,000 for the correct name)
A final of 20-19 (39) plants this one firmly in the Under.

 

5) Call the winners:
Cincinati at Baltimore
Oakland at Arizona
Minnesota at Chicago
($2,000 for EACH correctly named game winner, $3,500 bonus if you call all 3 right)

Only Slug and thewhyteboar guessed the Raiders beating the Cardinals, and it was only Slug who call all 3 games correctly to earn the bonus.

 

6) Which game on SUNDAY will have the lowest combined score? ($3,000 for the correct answer)
The Steelers and Jaguars put up a combined 36 points for the lowest total of Week 11's Sunday.  Nobody called this game.

 

7) How many total yards will the Broncos rush for this week? 0-49, 50-99, 100-149, 150-199, 200+? ($2,000 for the correct call)
The Broncos put up a total of 108 yards on the ground.  Bets on 100-149 win.

 

8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in Week 11. ($6,000 for each player named correctly, $12,000 bonus if both names are called)
Saquon Barkley put down 142 yards rushing for the Giants while Tyreek Hill caught a ridiculous 215 yards on Monday night to lead the receivers. Greatoneshere and SFLUFAN both called Barkley's name and Keyser_Soze was the only player to see Hill's performance coming.  Nobody called both to earn the bonus.

Remember; it's never too late to start!  Everyone begins with $1,000 no matter which week you jump in!

 

Good luck to everyone in Week 12!  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.
