FINAL ROUNDMAKE YOUR PICKSAnd it continues...
THE SPORTS CENTER BOWL GAMES CHALLENGE40 different games... spanning over 24 days... are you up for the Challenge
And we are now down to the Championship game and the FINAL ROUND of this challenge. Many people still have a chance at the Grand Prize, and we are paying the top 5 scorers, so buckle in and let's see how this ends.
And even if you are not in the hunt, or haven't even played a single round, there is still a chance to win some WRZ$ for predicting the winner, and for sharing the FINAL ROUND pool...
The final game will feature Clemson vs. LSU. Clemson ended the season as the number 3 ranked team in the country, while LSU was ranked number one. This should be a good one
This game is worth
4 POINTS toward your final overall score
In the past, winners of the most games in each round have shared the pool. Well, since there is only one game in this round, that wouldn't be any fun
So, to win a share of the pool, we will be doing a
OVER/UNDERFor those that don't remember, OVER/UNDER is a classic betting term. It's a bet that has nothing to do with who will win the game. Instead, you are betting on whether the TOTAL number of points (or goals, or runs, or whatever) scored by
BOTH TEAMS will be OVER or UNDER a certain target number. So when you hear somebody say, "the over/under for this football game is 69.5, that means the target number is 69.5
Anybody betting the
OVER is betting that a total of 70 or more points will be scored by both teams in the game
Anybody betting the
UNDER is betting that a total of 69 or less points will be scored by both teams in the game
For this edition of OVER/UNDER, we will be asking you to make two predictions
Who will win the game, and will it be OVER or UNDER the target number of total points
To win your share of the pool, you have to correctly predict BOTH
