From Other Games last week:
WEEK THREE PICK 'EMS
Remember, I'm representing the spread next to the team favored to win by the number of points in parentheses next to them. You decide if that team will win by more than that amount of points (i.e., they'll "cover" the spread) or whether you think they will either win by fewer than that amount of points or just outright lose (either of these would be a "no cover" scenario). If you have questions, ask!
Rules:
1. 1 Point for every COVER/NO COVER pick you make correctly.
2. The Person with the highest total that weeks gets 3 bonus points.
3. Ties to determine who gets the bonus points will be based upon the MOV game. This week, it's Air Force vs. Michigan State. For those who are tied, we'll look at their MOV pick. Closest gets the bonus points.
4. If two people pick the same MOV, then no one gets the bonus points. HOWEVER, if people are off from the MOV by the same amount, but one went high and the other went low, then The Price is Right rules apply, and the person under the actual MOV gets the bonus points.
Example: If the MOV in the game is actually 18, and one person guesses 20 and the other 16, then the person who guessed 16 gets the tiebreaker and the bonus points.
