How did we do last week?
Fifteen participants had positive Petittis and only twelve were negative. This may never happen again, so drink it in, folks! Way to go, everyone (well, fifteen of you). To mark this occasion, there’s cake in the break room for everyone to enjoy, regardless of your score (OTR cannot be held responsible for allergens, contaminants, alcohol content, or actual existence of break room or cake).
Week 3 Winner:
Congratulations to our Week 3 winner, MNW! Well it happened, someone finally became Six Pack Certified. By going 6-0, MNW also added twenty-five bonus points for a total of 128.5 Petittis on the week. Very impressive and a new weekly record!
Six Pack Certified (6-0): MNW. The group is now 1 for 76 on this metric. Maybe don’t bet parlays, folks (unless you’re MNW in week 3, of course).
Pick of the Week: Purdue/UCLA Over 53.5 (Mr_Grizz, SeeJayBee). B1G After Dark delivered with 90 total points on 1,133 total yards. Not the greatest showing by the defenses, but I bet it was fun to watch! Well see if B1G After Dark shootouts become a thing (looks at this week, Minnesota at Washington), ok maybe not... but maybe...but probably not... but MAYBE.

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 946 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 (“-“ means a team is favored):
Howard at Rutgers (-41.5), O/U 55.5
Northwestern at Indiana (-21), O/U 49.5
Saturday (early):
Illinois at Ohio State (-27.5), O/U 53.5
UCLA (-2.5) at Maryland, O/U 57.5
Notre Dame (-27.5) at Purdue, O/U 57.5
Saturday (mid-afternoon):
Iowa at Michigan (-5.5), O/U 38.5
Wisconsin at Penn State (-9.5), O/U 44.5
Nebraska (-5.5) at Michigan State, O/U 48.5
Saturday (evening):
Oregon (-3) at Southern Cal, O/U 62.5
Saturday (late):
Minnesota at Washington (-10), O/U 46.5
I’ll add my picks in the comments. Have fun, and always Iowa Over responsibly.
