2) Which team in the Feature Game will have the most total rushing yards? ($400 for the correct call)

3) This turf tastes lovely: name the quarterback that is sacked the most in Week 5 ($800 for the correct answer)

IMPORTANT NOTES FOR WEEK 6 AND GOING FORWARD

 

- The Mock Gambling "Week" starts with the kickoff of the first scheduled game of the week and ends at the conclusion of Monday Night Football.  With all the COVID-19 schedule rearrangement happening, you need to keep this in mind.  Games played after the end of the MGT week (a game pushed to a Tuesday, for example) will not count.  This effects your MGT answers in 2 ways:

  1. If a game that is in Question #5 or is the Feature Game gets pushed to a Tuesday after the thread for the week has been posted, a new game will be selected in its place and I will make a post @'ing all the players so that you have the opportunity to change your answers.
  2. For the purpose of any "which team" or "which player" questions (most yards, most sacks, highest scores, etc.) games played after MNF will be non-existent as far as the MGT is concerned.  So don't choose a player who will be playing Tuesday or Wednesday as your top RB for the week; you will be very incorrect.

- Keep an eye on the deadline.  You may have more or less time than you think to mull over your answers.  This week, for example, since TNF was canceled the entry deadline isn't until the Sunday early games kick off.

 

- Since I lock these threads at the deadline, it doesn't leave a lot of room for friendly game day trash talking.  Keep an eye out for the MGT 2020 Discussion thread which will be made shortly for just that purpose. :P

@Slug -- Are you picking Josh Jacobs this week for rushing?  Raiders have a bye.

 

He's taking a gamble that NFL will have to cancel a Raiders bye and swap it for a COVID team. :p
