Contest Idea

[j]

My first thought was that this would be a Sunday night type contest, but the more I think about it the less practical that seems.

So here´s my second thoughts. Monday morning we take the evened out lines and put them up. If there isn´t a consensus of the the three books, the number we use gets a ¨+´ or ¨-¨´ by it to indicate which way the dissenting number lies, and if you pick that way you only get .5 or .75 of the value of the points as given by Mach´s chart.

Maybe we should take turns putting up the numbers, since it looks to be a good twenty minute chore anyway. We could have the window open from late Monday am until midnight.

OK, here's my stab at it (lines from Olympic 2p.m. PDT Sept 2):

Mia-8.5 will go higher (more negative) by game time (already has moved 1.5 pts)

STL-3.0 will go higher

Dal-8 will go higher (already has moved 1 pt)

KC+3 will go lower (towards pick)

Jax+3.5 will go lower

Phi-1 will go higher

Chi-4.5 will go higher

It looked to me like maybe this contest wasn´t going to happen, but if it is my pick is Oakland -7 to go higher versus Seattle, even though at Pinnacle right now 6:58 PST it´s Oakland -7 (+100) and Seattle +7 (-110).
