Little East Pick 'em League

[amh63]

Did I miss something here?  Thought you dropped HS picks!?...7
Saw UMass-Boston go into OT.  Hope they won.  If not, no more Amherst connection picks here
Wait, can not do that...My classmate, bless his soul, is married to ECSU's prez, and is still some top administrator of all Mass public colleges...and was Prez of Northeastern Un for a period.

I did.  WPI wanted me to post the scores of the HS games, so that's exactly what I did.

As usual, behind the 8 ball again.  Was trying to figure out all the Nescac games played last night, etc.
Looking over the matchups AND the picks of the pickers .....plus throwing the dice, I will simply post that I will go with the Magic1 selection.  Too lazy and to avoid possible errors

Bonus number 3*: Cromwell 62 @ Morgan 48; Farmington 49 @ Conard 51.  Conard/Farmington/both games decided by same amount 2 vs. Morgan/Cromwell 14
*= bonus ended up being thrown out, but only 2 picked it.  WPI89 picked Farmington/Conard, 7express picked Morgan/Cromwell and since everyone said I could have that extra bonus, I will GLADLY take it 

Weekly results:
7express 14-2 (+2 bonus; bonus 1, bonus 3) (87.5%)
magicman 12-3 (+1 bonus; bonus 1)  (80%)
amh63 11-4^ (+1 bonus; bonus 1) (73.3%)
Allstar 11-4 (+1 bonus; bonus 1) (73.3%)
FCGrizzliesGrad 11-4 (+1 bonus; bonus 1) (73.3%)
Warriorcat 11-4 (+1 bonus; bonus 1) )(73.3%)
booyakasha 10-4 (71.4%)
WPI89 10-5 (+1 bonus; bonus 1) (66.7%)
^= amh63's predictions this week: He picked booyaksha for the first selection (when booyakasha had made Tues & Wed picks), but then picked Western & Regis by himself, but since he had already locked in his pick with booyakasha he avoided the Regis loss.  Then for Saturday selections he went back to booyakasha first then to magicman.....however when he locked onto booyakasha he had yet to select the bonus, so I gave amh booyakasha's Saturday picks, then gave him magicman's bonus picks only 1 of which paid out anyways (see above).

Season results:
FCGrizzliesGrad 60-28 (68.1%)
Warriorcat 57-27 (67.9%)
amh63 59-28 (67.8%)
magicman 59-28 (67.8%)
Allstar 58-28 (67.4%)
booyakasha 56-31 (64.4%)
WPI89 56-31 (64.4%)
STILL bringing up the rear the Express but at least it got back on track and over 60% 53-34 (60.9%) As usual, check the math

Bonus selections worth 1 point, no penalty for wrong answer:
Bonus #1 (locks at 7:30 PM Wednesday): More teams with 3 conference losses vs. more teams with 3 conference wins/same number after play on Saturday?  Currently there are 2 teams with 2 conference wins, 1 team with 3 conference wins, and 5 teams with 2 conference losses.  Every team plays 2 conference games this week.  Note: For this bonus ONLY teams with 3 conference wins or 3 conference losses will be included in total so if 3 teams are 4-1 and 1 team is 1-4, those 4 teams would be taken out of the prop.
Bonus #2 (locks at 7:30 PM Wednesday): Which team will score more points this week: UMass-Boston vs. RI College

Note: Next week has a Monday game.

[magicman]

The biggest challenges of the Pick 'Em League hasn't been picking the winners of all the games but trying to discover what exactly amh63's picks have been on a weekly basis. You need an abacus, slide rule, calculator, computer, and a personal secretary to figure them out.

And I'm probably going to need those items to figure out the bonus picks that 7 keeps throwing out there.
Especially Bonus #1.
