Barnstorm · Answer

If you were in 30th place, would you assume the guys just out of the money will take the Chiefs, thinking that you will take the Chargers?

If you actually like the Chiefs with Alex Smith, would you stay with them with Chase Daniels if you still liked their chances, AND if meant you may also cancel out your opponents attempt to go contrarian on you?

I don't want to get swayed to the Chargers because I still think the Chiefs will get up for it and Chase Daniels can make all those short throws that Alex Smith does, and he can also run as well as Alex Smith. But he could be rusty.

Too much thinking?

I am actually in this situation in a Mock SuperContest at another Forum. Not in the SuperContest.

Any thoughts?

The Cooler 48-32Steelers -3.5Pats -4.5Panthers &#x2B;4Redskins &#x2B;6Rams &#x2B;11.55-0 gets me 62.5% and a big kick in the ass (aka no $$) probably. Ridiculous. They gotta look into paying more like a poker tourney. Anyway, had fun boys and good luck rest of the season.

rudy22 · Answer

Same time same channel next year boys. Let&#x27;s make a covers sign up weekend in August. We all meet and sign up.

Barnstorm · Answer

I agree. They should pay out a lot more spots to keep more folks interested. At least 100.

Question for everyone as we enter this last week 17 and meet again next year. Thanks to all including Rudy who started this dynamic forum, and RichieRich97 who was quite friendly and animated throughout this fun season.

Here is my question: Can you all please post other NFL handicapping contests you know about either online and free/open to all, or requiring a proxy on the ground in Vegas, as with the Super Contest and Stations Great Giveaway etc etc .... so please share what you know so that we can all participate in them in the future too. I only know of the Stations Casino contest, the Super Contest, and those fun pigskin pickem contests from SiriusXM NFL Radio, the ESPN and CBS online contests, and of course the Covers.com contest ... and one other in Vegas that I chose not to enter, but cannot remember the name of it. So what is out there? Thanks so much!!!!

Barnstorm · Answer

Covers might not let us enter the name of those contests but there are some on other forums. You would just have to search.

I know of at least three buy-in contests on other Forums that copy the SuperContest format but for lesser amounts. Buy-ins for $50, $150 and $250. I'm surprised Covers hasn't come up with one.

broncofn · Answer

It&#x27;s been a fun ride guys!  Didn&#x27;t even submit picks this week since I&#x27;m out but my proxy submits the shortest faves on your behalf .  Good luck to everyone who has a shot.

Barnstorm · Answer

Top pickers did not try to go KC or ATL to pick up ground. They stayed with SD and CAR to maintain their positions.

I bet the guys in 31st to 50th went with KC, ATL, AZ and WAS as those are the lines that have moved significantly.

Barnstorm · Answer

Check that , DAL instead of WAS. Line had moved in favor of WAS, so those out of the money would try to pick the opposite of the leaders who are taking WAS.

CH_Ballers · Answer

Been quietly following these threads all season.  Long time Covers reader (once had an active account years ago under a diff handle).  A lot of sharp guys here.  Hope you understand the lack of contribution in fear of the JINX!  Wish you all continued success moving forward.

Barnstorm · Answer

Congrats CH Ballers! Now, can you give us the exclusive of the secret to your success?!

Barnstorm · Answer

Based on the selections of the Leaders of the SuperContest, if you were out of the money, then a truly contrarian card would be these in the following order:

ATL (26-1 took CAR!)

KC (23-1 took SD!)

DAL (21-0 took WAS!)

AZ (6-0 took SF)

and one of these:

HOU (6-2 took JAX)

DET (8-4 took GB)

NYG (10-6 took PHI)

broncofn · Answer
