according to pregame spreads, here's how the picks line up.  pretty sure this means Will wins in a landslide lol

Ebel 28
Nelson 22
Casey 13
Will 9

So for yesterday, I show this: 

CSUDAK   NELSON   EBEL   WILLGIBSON   PICK: :::::::::::BUFFALO::::::::::::: :::::7::::: ::::::::GREEN BAY:::::::::: :::::00::::: :::::::NEW ORLEANS::::::: :::::18::::: PHILADELPHIA 3 PICK: :::::::::::JETS:::::::::::::::::::: :::::00::::: ::::::::ATLANTA::::::::::::: :::::21::::: :::::::SAN DIEGO:::::::::::: :::::31::::: SAN FRAN 19 PICK: :::::::::::NEW ENGLAND::: :::::29::::: ::::::::TAMPA BAY::::::::: :::::01::::: :::::::PITT:::::::::::::::::::::: :::::16:::::     PICK: :::::::::::JACKSONVILLE:::: :::::7::::: ::::::::DENVER::::::::::::::: :::::00::::: :::::::CLEVELAND::::::::::: :::::00:::::     PICK: :::::::::::SEATTLE:::::::::::::: :::::00::::: ::::::::OAKLAND:::::::::::: :::::00:::::         FREE   :::::07:::::   :::::07:::::   :::::07:::::   :::::07:::::                   TOTAL:   50   29   72   29

So the week-long standings look like this:

ebel331	72
csudak	50
nelsonba25	29
willgibson	29

Tonight, we will be looking at the Ravens / Texans Game. 

My sportsbook spread is:

Baltimore -3.5 @ HOUSTON

You can bet between 0 and the amount of points you have and either take Houston and the points or take Baltimore and lay them; keeping in mind two things: (1) The person in last place after tonights game will be eliminated from this challenge with no chance of immunity and (2) your points are cumulative throughout the week (I will not be resetting them and the scores you have will be your gambling balance; although I will be giving the three who advance 25 points tomorrow added  to each of their scores)

TIEBREAKER1:  Sumbit prediction for the total score of the Balt/Houston Game.
TIEBREAKER2:  Order Submitted.

Good luck!

You gave csudak 6 points too many.  BUF won by 7 not 13.
Nelson has 7 too many.  Oakland lost.

I think it should be

Ebel 72
Csudak 50
Nelson 29
Will 29

What do you mean?  Are you hungover?  Those are the numbers I had above!

My bad

Picks due by gametime, but if I get them by 4:30PM Central I will post them. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get on later tonight and do it or not.

Also, in the case of a tie that would decide elimination, Submit your prediction for the TOTAL score of the Baltimore/Houston game tonight along with your pick (Edited above)

Here are the picks and (tokens bet) for tonight's game:

CSUDAK------------------- BALTIMORE (20)
NELSONBA25------------ BALTIMORE (29) TB:35
WILLGIBSON------------- BALTIMORE (29) TB:45
EBEL331------------------ HOUSTON (13)

Nelson and Will's tiebreakers are the only ones that come into play, since regardless of the outcome of the game, they will be tied still for last place, thus one of them being eliminated from winning this challenge.

Nelson wins the Tie as far as order of submission, so if the total for tonights game is 40 or under, he will still be alive in this challenge. 41 points scored and over will result in will being alive.

The outcome of the game will be important for the rest of you, however, as it could mean a large gap between ebel and the rest, or a tight race and csudak will take the lead going into two days of gambling tomorrow.

Good luck!

What a game!  Had to like my chances going into overtime +3.5.  Not!

So, nelson can not win this challenge.  Moving on, the remaining three have been delivered 25 bonus Pola Tokens, as promised.

Updated score:

CSUDAK-------------	95
EBEL331-------------	84
WILLGIBSON-------	83

Today and tomorrow, You three can bet your tokens using the lines I post today and tomorrow.  You can wager as much as you want, as little, or none.  Whoever has the most tokens Thursday morning will get their choice between the Chargers and the 49ers Thursday night (Straight up) for immunity, and 2nd place will get the other team.

You may place a STRAIGHT BET (even money) against the line or total, or you may try your luck at a PARLAY.  You can PARLAY up to 6 teams for any amount you like.  Remember, if you don't get EVERY bet right on your PARLAY, you lose the whole bet.  These are not teasers, so you are still playing against the spreads listed.

Parlay ODDS:

2 TEAM Pays 13/5 Odds
3 TEAM Pays 6-1
4 TEAM Pays 10-1
5 TEAM Pays 20-1
6 TEAM Pays 40-1

And here is Tuesday's Sportsbook:

I'm gonna die before this game is over. 

This loooong challenge is good for two reasons:  1) It takes some of the randomness out of it so everyone gets a  fair shake and 2) it gets us to the Bowl games for the final challenge!

Sorry for the delay in getting this up .  Will didn't bet today, here are the bets I did get:

------------------------------------------csudak-----------------------------------------	--------------------------ebel331----------------------------
MAGIC -1.5 (5)	76ERS -1.5 (7)
PHI/NJ OVER 187.5 (5)	76ERS OVER 187.5 (6)
GS/MINN UNDER 216.5 (5)	TIMBERWOLVES +3.5 (6)
HOUSTON -8.5 (5)	TIMBERWOLVES UNDER (6)
	MAGIC -1.5 (6)
3 TEAM PAR (4): CINN -26.5,N ILL -2.5, CENTRAL MICH +1.5	MAGIC UNDER (6)
3 TEAM PAR (4): PHI/NJ OVER, SAC/HOU UNDER, ORL/DEN UND	RAPTORS OVER (6)
6 TEAM PAR (2) ATL -4.5, CHAR -4.5, PHIL -1.5, ORL -1.5, LOUIS -13.5, G ST -3.5	CENT MICH +1.5 (6)
	ILL CHICAGO +2.5 (6)
	DEPAUL (6)
	FLYERS -.5 (6)
	MAPLE LEAFS -.5 (6)
	2 TEAM PAR (5) 76ERS, 76ERS OVER
	4 TEAM PAR (5) 76ERS, 76ERS OVER, FLYERS, MAP LEAFS

Apologies if this is not accurate, but looks to me like Timberwolves game is gonna decide it.

If Wolves goes under 216.5 then Ebel is 1st and Casey is 2nd.

If Wolves goes over AND Wolves +3.5 wins then Ebel is 1st and Will is 2nd.

If Wolves goes over AND Wolves +3.5 loses then Will is 1st and there is a tie for 2nd Ebel and Casey

If anyone else is paying attention and wants to check me, right now with everything in except wolves game I have Ebel 87, Casey 80, Will 83.

Why are you referring to yourself in 3rd person? George is getting upset!
