'Bama up 21-0 after the 1st quarter.  Roll Tide.

EDIT:  Great comeback.  Didn't think they had it in them.

Challenge 21 – Tempted with Teasers

For Sunday’s challenge, I’m going to pay you all 1:1 on 5 point Teaser bets.  If Tempted, you may wager all of your Teaser winnings on Sunday night’s game.  Speaking of Tempted,Let’s take a moment to listen to SQUEEZE with one of the most popular  (and one of my favorite) songs of the 80s never to hit the top 40 while you read this.

For non-gambling addicts, a Teaser bet is picking football games against the spread, although you get to shade the line by a certain amount of points, for a lesser payout.  However, since I am such a great guy,I’m giving you all even money and giving you 5 teaser points per game.  Here are Pola’s NFL lines for Sunday:

Vikings  @  Redskins -2.5
Steelers -6.5 @ Bills
Titans @ Texans -6.5
Jaguars @ Giants -7.5
Panthers @ Browns -9.5
Buccaneers @ Ravens -7.5
Eagles -3.5 @ Bears
Packers @ Falcons -1.5
Dolphins @ Raiders -1.5
Chiefs -1.5 @ Seahawks
Rams @ Broncos -4.5

THE TEASER:  You all have $1,000 to gamble with.  You must spend it all, and must bet at least 5 games, minimum $50 per game.

Here are a couple of examples of what the 5 point teaser means: – For the Vikings/ Redskins game, you could either take the Vikings +7.5, or the Redskins +2.5 (teasing the line 5 points either way ).  For the Panthers/Browns game – you could take the Panthers +14.5 or the Browns  -4.5, and so on so forth.

THE TEMPTED:  If you choose to, you can wager all of the money you are up from the TEASER Section on Sunday Night’s game.  You must tell me whether or not you are choosing this option at the time you submit your teaser picks. It is an all of nothing bet, and  is optional. Sunday’s NFL Line:

CHARGERS @ COLTS -3.   You cannot tease this bet. And, If you pick incorrectly (a push will result in a loss ), you will have $0.  If you choose to tempt this gamble and win, I will double all of the money you had from the Teaser section of the challenge.

TB1: On the front of the stage of the above video, the center speaker has three letters on it.  What are they?
TB2: Team that will score the most points on Sunday
TB3: Total points scored of the Bears / Eagles game
TB4: Order.

I guess that's about as unanimous as it can be at this point in the game. It's hard to play this game and not leave without any hard feelings. Maybe it will be easier tomorrow.

Did you send everyone sitemails calling them names, or just me?

Congrats on getting this far.  At least you can get that frustration out at the Council !

Am I reading this right? 

For texan123, how does his pick of the Texans go from -6.5 to +11.5...??  Shouldn't it be either -11.5 or -1.5...??  If he picked the Titans, it could be +11.5.

He picked the texans, and I screwed up the teaser. if I edit it from the iPad it will screw up the formatting, not that it mattered in that game, but he has the texans -1.5

Just eyeing it up, (one eyed), it looks like csudak, willgibson, and muddapucka, and texan123 have a chance of immunity.

If the chargers cover by 2.5 or win, will wins.

If the colts cover by 3.5, and score more than 19, csudak would win. Muddapucka if they win only scoring 18.

If the colts win by 3 exactly, texan123 would win.

Look right?
