SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #388PICK’EMWhile reviewing the records, I noticed that we haven't done a PICK'EM in a VERY, VERY, VERY long time
And since "somebody" mentioned that they miss them... it's time for
PICK'EMYou remember... PICK'EM is a very simple made up word. It means, these two teams are so closely matched that either team has an equal chance to win. Or in other words, we have no clue which team will win
When it comes to PICK’EM games, many gamblers rely on arcane knowledge to select a team to bet on. Like: which school did I go to; I like the colors of their uniforms; which team has better cheer leaders; I hate or like that team; my wife likes that team. You get the idea. So whenever you look up the odds for any given event, and the results come back PICK’EM, you now know what that means. FLIP A COIN!
INFORMATIONThis edition of PICK'EM will include two teams that were also featured in the Friday Canada vs. USA contest. These two teams are the ones that are expected to lose for their countries on Friday, but play each other on Saturday.
So how about a Mini Canada vs. USA
Detroit Red Wings at Ottawa SenatorsBoth these teams kind of suck
The second to last place Red Wings go into Ottawa to play the last place team
As of now, both teams have almost identical records.
So as any good bookie would say "PICK'EM"
And for a chance at a 25 WRZ$ bonus, I want you to post a reason why you selected them. It doesn’t have to be real or even make sense. I’m looking for creativity here. I will award 25 WRZ$ to reasons that I like. It will just be my opinion. All decisions will be final with no whining allowed. So come on folks, let’s get creative.
NOTE: You do NOT have to give a reason if you don't want to (many haven't in the past) But, if you want a chance at the bonus...
