How did we do last week?
In a shocking twist, this group was positive on the week. Fourteen up, twelve down. No, I don’t believe it either.
Week 9 Winner:
Congratulations to our Week 9 winner, HoustonBoiler, who went 5-1 on the week with 68 Petittis! That... can't be right. Congrats! In other standings news, ziowa9 has been kicked out of the suite and DtownK has once again upgraded to a boat.
Honorable mention: NU06er and MNW also went 5-1 on the week. So close, but not to be for the weekly win. Keep up the good work!
Pick of the Week: Iowa -3.5 (IronMonkee (CB), LTW_O_MI, DtownK, redbear, allthegoodnamesrgone, IWasSayingBooUrns, Mr_Grizz, WifeofIUinVA). You just can't stop that Iowa offense.
Dishonorable mention: Wisconsin +3.5 (Rubber_Duck (CB), SkyBlueH2O, SeeJayBee). You just can't top that Iowa offense.
Six Pack Certified (6-0): MNW (week 3).

This game requires a lot of data entry and I will make mistakes. Please let me know if you have any questions about scoring or if something looks wrong:
Rules:
Make six picks every week. Correct picks are worth five points, incorrect picks are negative five points. Mark one of your picks as the Coldest Brew (CB), which will be worth ten points if correct, negative ten if incorrect. Bonus points are allocated based on deviation from the spread. Please include the spread with your pick (Iowa -3 (CB), Iowa/Opponent Over 36, etc). If anyone manages to get all six correct in a week, they’ll be Six Pack Certified and garner an additional twenty-five bonus points.
I’ll tabulate the scores and standings every week. If anyone missed previous weeks and would like to join, no problem! You’ll start at the current league median value of 932 Petittis. If I make any egregious errors (Ohio State as a 27 point underdog, when they are actually favored by 27), please let me know. Obvious spread errors won’t count.
Friday night (“-“ means a team is favored):
Nebraska (-4.5) at Illinois, O/U 49.5
Saturday (early):
UCLA (-5.5) at Minnesota, O/U 39.5
Maryland at Purdue (-6.5), O/U 57.5
Saturday (mid-afternoon):
Oregon at Ohio State (-7), O/U 46.5
Penn State at Washington (-2.5), O/U 44.5
Rutgers at Wisconsin (-17.5), O/U 46.5
Saturday (evening):
Iowa at Northwestern (-2.5), O/U 45.5
Michigan State at Michigan (-13.5), O/U 39.5
Have fun, and always Iowa Over responsibly.
