SPORTS CENTER CONTEST #748
SATURDAY OVER/UNDERThe NFL Playoffs continue this weekend with the Divisional Rounds. Saturday provides us with two games, and neither one looks very competitive. Time for an edition of
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 44.5, that means the target number is 44.5
Anybody betting the
OVER is betting that a total of 45 or more points will be scored by both teams in the game
Anybody betting the
UNDER is betting that a total of 45 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
We are asking you to predict whether the total number of points scored by both teams will be OVER or UNDER the target number in BOTH GAMES
To win your share of the pool, you have to correctly predict
BOTHINFORMATION
GAME ONE
Minnesota Vikings 27% at San Francisco 49ers 73%As you can see, this one isn't predicted to be very close. The 49'ers are expected to win by 7 points, and that's why we only care about the Over/Under
It is predicted to be an "average" scoring game
OVER/UNDER TOTAL NUMBER OF POINTS
44.5GAME TWO
Tennessee Titans 22% at Baltimore Ravens 78%And if you thought the other game looked like a mismatch
Baltimore is predicted to win this one by 10 Points
However, this one is expected to be a slightly higher scoring game.
