General Question - Pick'em Game
« on: August 30, 2024, 10:50:09 AM »
I'm toying with the idea of reducing the number of games we pick, particularly non-conference.

We don't need to pick games between Rutgers and Howard, for example.

I want to keep the number of bonus games because those are good games, in general.

But I just don't think we need to make 20+ picks in weeks where games are mostly against tomato cans.

Input appreciated.

Yeah, if a game has a 10+ point (or whatever cutoff you like) Vegas line to either team, just omit it. 

Yeah, it might mean that you miss a Purdue Harbor or something every once in a while, but is anyone actually picking against an OSU in those weeks anyway?

I'm gonna keep all the conference games regardless. That's 9 games maximum so no big deal.

Right now, we're having 18 games and most of them are crap at best.

I agree.  I think FCS games should certainly be off the table

You not including them in your game led me to this conclusion too.
