Man, rough week. I could barely disagree with you. I nearly picked the exact same way until I realized how pointless that would be.

But why would you want to disagree with me when I've been on such a roll?

DeRok -

Do we get any bonus points for having our "UPSET" Pick being included in the "$$$" section? Or, do you only get the bonuses for Spread and Regular winner sections?

Straight: 11 points
Spread: 18 points
POTW: Yes, 3 points, 9-1
UPSET: Yes, 3 points, 4-5-1
$$$: +$2,500, 75 points

TOTAL: 110 Points

Your Upset pick only double the points you made on your vs. pick. It doesn't double your straight points or your money.

Normally, it just gives you two extra since you normally get 2 points for getting a spread pick right. However, if your upset is your pick of the week, it gets you five points. Two for doubling the correct pick and three for doubling your POTW.

STRAIGHT: 11-2 (11 points)

Of course the one week I get everything right, you do too! Especially when I intentionally altered my better to make it different than yours!

After I tallied, I went up to see if I at least beat you, and sure enough, you had 110 points. I was almost mad until I realized that you cheated and gave yourself 3 points instead of 2 for your upset special!

We tied.

Haha! If it makes you feel any better it was not intentional cheating. But still, you didn't beat me!
