My radio show’s upset picks challenge

[APPdiesel]

I should’ve posted this here 6 weeks ago (apologies) but I wanted to invite all of you to get into a weekly challenge we do on my radio show down in Greenville, SC. It’s a challenge where you try to pick outright upsets. We do it every week starting on Wednesdays at 4, and it runs through Friday at 7 (with the caveat that we accept entries while we’re on the air, 3-7pm). No prizes, just for funsies and bragging rights.

Very simply, try to pick a betting underdog to win outright. It can be any FBS game with a spread on it.

We use the spreads on ESPN.com and freeze them at 3pm on Wednesdays, so if there’s any movement everyone who picks the same game gets the same number of points.

If you correctly call it, the spread gets added to a rolling tally. You can’t fall below 0, but you will lose a point for an incorrect pick and you will lose 2 points for not picking at all (assuming you have points).

So you’d need to go on ESPN.com, find a game you think the dog will win, then text our show at 844-326-3663 with your name, game, and spread. For example: ASUjohn ECU +6.5 vs Tulane. And if ECU upsets Tulane you get 6.5 points.

Your goal is to finish with the most number of points you can. Players can and do go on heaters and move up the board quickly.

TK already plays, we also record the super dog picks from college Gameday so it’s kind of like you’re playing against Kirk, Desmond, Pat, Rece, and Nick Saban.

Happy to answer any questions if you’re interested in jumping in.

Last year 85 points won the whole thing...which was the most total points a winner has ever had...so far through 6 weeks (actually 7 including the week 0 games which we broke out to their own week) the winner already has 62 points. He's hit 6 out of 7 times. I cover college football for a living and I only have 6.5 . It's unbelievable.
