The 2019-20 Mock Gambling Thread - WEEK 7 - Dodger stands firm!


Slug

Recommended Posts

Being one of only two players to bet correctly on the Feature Game and nailing the Question 5 pick 'em bonus, Dodger hangs on to his spot at the top of the leaderboard and is our first back-to-back leader of the season! Can he pull it off again?

 

########## WEEK 6 RESULTS ##########

 

Week 6 Feature Game: Detroit Lions (+4.5) at Green Bay Packers
The Packers won the game, but failed to cover, losing in the MGT by a score of 26.5(22+4.5)-23.  Bets on Detroit win.  BasemntDweller2 and Dodger we're the only players who took Detroit.

 

QUESTIONS
1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Lions TD, Lions FG, Lions safety, Packers TD, Packers FG, Packers safety, or other? ($800 for the correct call)
Prater nailed a 26 yard field goal to kick off the scoring in the Feature Game. Nobody called a Lions FG.

 

2) Which team in the Feature Game will have the most total time of posession? ($600 for the correct call)
Green Bay held the ball for 33:04 to Detroit's 26:56.

 

3) Ball Hawking: Which team in Week 6 will have the most takeaways? ($900 for the right name)
The Panthers had 7 takeaways in Week 6, recovering 2 fumbles and picking off Jameis Winston 5 times.  No player guessed Carolina.

 

4) Name any TWO teams that will both score more than 25 points in Week 6. ($700 for the correct guess)
The Patriots, Panthers, Bucs, Seahawks, Browns, Texans, Vikings, Falcons and Cardinals all scored 25+ this week.  Any combination of two of these got you the cash.

 

5) Call the winners:
New Orleans at Jacksonville
Atlanta at Arizona
Washington at Miami
($600 for EACH correct named game winner, $1,200 bonus if you call all 3 correctly)
Dodger, Jose, Keyser_Soze, and SFLUFAN each called all three games correctly to pad their MGT accounts with that sweet bonus money.

 

6) Which Week 6 game will have the lowest combined score? ($900 for the correct team)
The Broncos blanked the Titans by a score of 16-0 in the lowest scoring game of the week. Lot's of players saw this lack of offense coming, as 7 of 11 players in Week 6 called this game.

 

7) Which Week 6 game will have the highest combined score? ($900 for a correct guess)
The Falcons and Cardinals went shot for shot to the tune of 67 total points, which would have gone higher but for a missed PAT.  Jose was the only player to get this one right.

 

8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week six. ($2,500 for each player named correctly, $4,500 bonus if both names are called)
Lamar Jackson rushed for 152 yards and Stefon Diggs took in 167 yards worth of passes to be your yardage leaders in Week 6. Nobody called either player.
